    For anyone that doesn't get the title: Hydrocephalus is a condition where cerebrospinal fluid builds up in the head causing swelling.
    The joke being that the slide was overly swollen and also a "big brained" idea, sarcastically of course.

      @First Name Last Name .40 S&W in terms of energy is at least comparable to .45ACP. There are .40S&W loads that are more powerful than .45ACP, and vice versa. Off the shelf .40S&W ball tends to be a 180gr bullet @ 1,000 ft/sec. Standard .45ACP is a 230gr bullet @ 850 ft/sec. Unless you're going subsonic, I think .40S&W seems better as you can get over 600 joules of muzzle energy without losing as much capacity over 9mm as you would with .45ACP.

    The .40 was a significant improvement in terminal performance over the 9mm, no matter what the internet says. It still is. And most 45’s in the 1990’s held less than 10 rounds, compared to the 12-15 of similar sized .40’s (Sorry Ian, but you started it.)

    One thing you may find interesting is that a version of this weapon was one of the handguns that were tested by the DOD to replace the M1911. The H&K model presented was the first handgun that passed the "mud" test and most of the testers though selecting it would be best. Strangely, the Beretta was selected, and a few weeks after that was announced, the Italian government announced it was going to spend millions for repair parts for its US made fighter jets.

    With regards to real life stopping power there is a guy here on YT who analyzed tens of thousands of real life shootings.
    The result was that there is very little difference in stopping power between .380ACP and anything more powerful like 9mm, .45, .357Mag or .40 ie it took between 2.1 and 1.8 hits to reliably stop an opponent.
    This was corroborated by some guy from a ammunition manufacturer (in another video) who explained that above a certain level results in ballistic gel could not be directly transferred to living tissue.

      another thing that is intresting is how many rounds do the shooter have to fire. before the threat is taken care of. for i have fired 9 mm luger, .45 apc and 357 mag. Off them I would go with 9 mm luger. as even for a total beginner i was able to put hits on papper with it. It don´t matter if a hit on a toe would take out the threat if you can´t hit the broadside of a barn with the sidearm.

    I got one of the MP 10’s and quickly began to experience some of the issues noted like the bore axis, slide weight, and no polygonal rifling. One other thing I noticed that was not mentioned is the magazines although marked for the M10 and M13 were basically interchangeable. Mine M10 mag worked also with theP7 M13. I swapped them once and they all functioned in either pistol. The weight was the biggest problem in addition to the cost. I would never see carrying the M10. The H&K USP IN 40 Cal was a much better platform despite being a full sized weapon.

      @@luisgimenez8660 I am not all that sure: immediately after the cartridge has been fired the slide remains in its closed position almost motionless with respect to the frame. What causes muzzle climb is the angular momentum caused by the gas pressure acting upon the brass in the chamber. The so called moment arm in this case is determined by the distance between the barrel axis and the top of the shooter's hand on the grip. And said distance is the sama as in conventional P7. But you are right as far as the cycling of the gun is concerned: it will jerk more than a 9mm one.

    You said the mass to the slide was added for the extra pressure of the .40S&W. Did you mean "recoil", as the 9mm, and .40 both run at the same SAAMI spec. pressure of 35,000psi, hence the abundance of "conversion" guns offered, which is simply a barrel and mag swap, as the .40 also uses the 9mm case head dimensions.

    In reality, Ian, H&K was traveling and touring, and temptation got the better of them. They didn't have the comfort and safety of being back home, and got involved with a street walker named Hi Point. That's how the P7M10 was made.

  • @Swearing0000
    @Swearing0000 4 роки тому +1

    That HK system is the best safety/cocking system ever developed. Someone needs to develop a new pistol around it, without the heat issues.
    The originals are getting too expensive to shoot. I’m kicking myself for never having bought one long ago (not a .40 though).

    After this (very good!) video I revisited your P7 family video from January 2019. In that you mentioned the other two police service pistols in Germany at the time, the Walther P5 and the Sig Sauer P6/P225. While the SIG is probably as well known as it gets, wouldn't the Walther P5 be a worthy "forgotten" weapon for a video of its own?

    I worked with the German riot police during the trials to adopt a new handgun and they had higher rates of accidental discharge using the squeeze cocker pistols than other types.

    Would a stronger recoil spring or spring combination have served the purpose? I have a Beretta in .40S&W that I'm quite fond of.

    The P7M10, the Colt 2000, the S&W Sigma and the CZ 100 should be put thru some sort of InRangeTV trial with Benny Hill music playing in the background.

    Serial number 007. Which is funny, because I can't imagine James Bond discreetly slipping this monstrosity into his tuxedo jacket.

  • @User_Un_Friendly

    As I’ve asked before, why didn’t someone at H and K turn the gas delay and barrel upside down?!
    As Ian mentioned, part of the appeal of the P7 is the low line from the barrel to the shooter’s arm. By inverting the barrel and gas delay, this improves the low line, takes the hot gas delay away from the shooters hand. Win, win.

    The "bore" axis isn't actually higher, the reciprocating mass they added is high, but the bore stayed right where it was.

    I don't think that's how "bore axis" works. My understanding is that sight height is completely different from bore axis.

    • @ZRFehr
      @ZRFehr 4 роки тому +2

      Rolling Blackouts bore axis is the position of the barrel in relation to your grip point. Lower is regarded as better.
      The height of your sights offset from your barrel is referred to as “mechanical offset”
