A bit off topic, but I figured this would be the best part of the forum for gunsmithing ideas. I just purchased a really abused parabellum which I plan on running rounds through till she will run no more. My thought was: if one were to put a HELLISHLY powerful mainspring into a P08, could one then fire overpowered ammo through her, or would the steel around the chamber itself go to pieces? I'm considering building somewhat of a luger carbine, and wanted to make up a 9mm round that would actually compete as a "rifle" round.
Too crazy? Begging death or dismemberment? Or just a nifty idea? I'd like to hear your opinions.
