Dumb Gun Handling on TV

[ProfessorWes]

I remember an episode of "24" where Jack Bauer scared a confession out of a bad guy by threatening him with his Glock . . . which had a spent casing clearly stovepiped in the chamber.

Mind you, there were far worse issues with that show, especially in later seasons, but for some reason that one stuck with me. Well, that and the whole thing with Kim and the cougar trap in season two.

What the heck is a kolibri or liliput?

Same thing I was wondering until I got side tracked with Alister McClean....

Really tiny european automatics from between the wars. Kolibri means hummingbird in german, and fires "2mm" (2.7x9.4mm) rimless centerfire cartridges, 3 grain bullette at 660 fps for 3.00 ft/lbs, claimed capable of penetrating 10-40 mm of pine board. That's 3/8" to1-5/8". they also made 3mm and 4mm kolibri. Look up ian mccollum, forgotton weapons. The liliput, from the same designer, fired 4.3mm, and a model in 6.35 (25 acp).
