Diplomatic Fire ball!

Post by MarcSpaz »

Look at the fire ball coming out the front of my Noveske Diplomat! My buddy Mike was shooting it and I had no idea how it looked before this!

Friend of mine had the same thing happen when he watched me fire his S&W 500. Fire shot about 2 feet out the barrel and a few inches out of the cylinder as well.

I think the most impressive fireball I've ever seen, was someone shooting a Mossin-Nagant, likely with Russian surplus ammo. It was producing a notable fireball, visible outdoors in broad daylight!! Can only imagine what it would have been like in low light!!

That is impressive Mark.

Next time we get together and I bring my .308 I need to try and get some pics of someone shooting it. This new phone I got has some pretty neat camera capabilities.

This is a pic of him firing it. The flame goes about 5-6 inches further than the left side of the frame. It's a full 500 grain load. The 350 grain load is not quite as impressive, but still looks good.
