year due to a greater number of safety stoppages resulting in lower mine
production and increased processing of lower grade surface stockpiles.
Refined platinum production decreased 19 per cent to 710,000 oz, the miner

When someone says his pistol is reliable, what does that mean?
I’ve met people who defined “reliable” based on the amount of ammo they
carry every day. Someone who carries a Glock 19 with a spare mag wants 31
rounds straight without a stoppage and he’s happy. Of course, that’s a
mess from a statistical standpoint. The sample size is too small to draw
meaningful conclusions. It might sound smart, but do you really want a gun

发帖数: 5133 | 9 其实测试的M&P和HK45都极端NB。
仔细看看stoppage原因，M&P的两次是dead trigger，这是早一批sear spring较细不给
力造成的，握枪不牢更容易发生，现在的M&P sear spring直径大了一倍，这个问题可
以说解决了。
HK45的一次stoppage是底火太硬，第二次再击发就打响了，更像是子弹问题。那个
malfunction估计是他自己sear spring没装好。
所以这两条枪除了扳机弹簧各断了一次可以说几乎不卡。
P30也强大，前面十个stoppage是main spring超标太硬，换了以后直到打到9万多发差
不多挂了时连卡三次，也就是只有剩下的三次是实在的stoppage，平均两万七千发卡一
次，整枪寿命也比M&P长些。
现在测试的1911可是经常清理经常上油一万发不到卡过4回了。
