Mine is Covid CDC compliant because the blast is very effective in incentivizing social distancing at the range.

I tried like heck to capture that with my phones camera No Joy - It was later when I was viewing a video I saw that I had a clip with the firebal,l so yup, I use my editing software to pull a picture from a frame.

I recall years ago seeing either a picture or a short video of an M44 being fired at dusk. The sun had already set but there was still just enough light to see the target & the shooter. Needless to say, the blast that came out of that muzzle literally looked like a flamethrower, a ball of fire that reached out 6-8 feet and lit up the whole area. My first reaction was: can you imagine back in WWII the look on the German
's faces seeing a whole line of Russians charging at them with those guns a-blazing? Yeah, I'd be throwing my hands up in the air too.....

I think they rather mowed them down...
They were used enough to the Russian material superiority.

The "muzzle effect" from issue ball in the old 8 x 56R M95 Steyr carbines is pretty wild.
Recoil is a bit of a wake-up call, as well.

Amen to that. M95 Steyr probably the meanest recoil I've ever felt, shoulder black-n-blue for days afterwards....
