The tiniest cartridge collection.

[Dosing]

Just finished framing up my kolibri collection, 2,7mm/3mm/4,25mm Liliput. Laughably under the barrel lengths the pistols would be prohib, so ya,




with a 8mm Maroszek and 318 PzB


with a 9mm Para

Very nice! Not often you see them as they are a bit hard to find.

The sectioned cartridges look very good as well.

Well done.

That's pretty awesome actually. I'm curious what sort of muzzle energy those had?

Apparently the 4.25mm had 17ft-lbs lol!

A little more digging around shows the 2.7mm at 3ft-lbs. I can't seem to find the 3mm specs anywhere. Would that even penetrate skin? I highly doubt it lol!

Ring guns?

Under 5.7 joules / 500 FPS wouldn’t be prohib since it’s not considered a firearm.

Super cool.

Battlefield 1 would have you believe they were issued to front line troops in WWI...

They were for self defence. Came in small palm sized pistols, simple straight blowback.

Curious how you cut them? Waterbcutter I guess? Did it yourself?
