Why is there no PSM clones and 5.45x18 ammo on the American market?>
>>
Because it's a tiny cartridge that doesn't even deliver 100 ft/lb. .32 ACP is significantly better for a pocket gun
>>

Pretty sure 5.45x18mm would be illegal to manufacture in the U.S.
>>
>>28016322
Why is that?
>>
Because nobody gives a shit mostly. Same reason nobody makes a decent 5.7x28 pistol

>>28016322
Only if the bullet were constructed in such a way as to meet the dumbass atf definition of AP

Hahaha, I fucking wish. Really should order a Mak blank or two. me and my stupid 9x18 guns

The fuck is taking your barrel guy so long?
>>
>>28016670
No idea, feel like I'm on the backburner. the guy usually does bolt gun barrels which are excellent, figured a simple barrel turning would be a quick deal for him

>zasta has a KEDR

MVD game too hype. you fucking madman

also, 5.45x18 as a service pistol cartridge sounds awesome. sharing the bullet with the service rifle's cartridge sounds pretty smart.

Illegal importation. :)

How many fucking times have you gone through this? 5.45x18 DOESN'T share bullets with 5.45x39, they're simply too long. Just look at the picture in the OP and google 5.45x39, there's no physical way 5.45x18 could fit in any magazine with that bullet.

You forgot that they're different diameters too, .222 vs .220
