>gun is called the FN "High Power"
>shoots 9mm
What did they mean by this?
>>
I also remember this huge embarrassment from FN.

Actually, what does FN make that's good or unique anymore? Is there anything other than the P90?
>>
>>64324179
It's about the yuge for its time 13+1 capacity, not calibre
Actually 9mm was considered high powered back in the day too, but still
>>
>>64324185
LICC but nobody has adopted it yet
>>
To sissy euro hands a 9mm is "hi power"
Remember they call everything a "military rifle" here including the plastic .22 peashooters that trannies bring to school for show-n-tell

>furiously pushes up glasses

Erm ACTUALLY its called "Hi-Power" so yeah check your facts before posting something so inane, good sir

Are those fucking casting marks on the chamber of the barrel? What the fuck?
>>
>>64324362
wrong, when FN made their skinwalker abomination reproductions of the hi power they dubbed it the high power. the OP image is the fn high power

Too bad I haven't seen one anywhere

What is going on with that magazine release and safety? Is that a safety?
>>64324417
I can't unsee it.
Some Europoor probably has the privilege to buy that gun for 3000€ after 5 months of paperwork hoop jumping and a prostate extraction.
>>
>>64324630
If it makes you feel any better I barely see FN pistols for sale here in Europe
Most people looking for a striker gun buy Glocks or Walthers
>>
>>64324371
Yeah they can keep it
>>
>>64324371
What was the gimmick with this again? Cops were too retarded to use it properly so they had to make it idiot proof or something
>>
>>64324179
They meant fuck
ya mudda
>>
>>64324179
They need to just release a Mark IV already and stop messing around with these. Literally just make the same changes Springfield made with the SA-35 but give it a regular Novak cut instead of the t*rkshit Spr*ngfield is using and it will be a perfect gun.

It was named the Hi-Power (not high power). The name comes from the capacity, 13+1 in an era when 7/8 was normal.
>>
>>64325361
That is not the Browning Hi-Power
That is the FN High Power
You fucking retard

Back in the 30s, 9mm was considered a powerful cartridge. Over time, people have gotten more resistant to bullets. That's why calibers like .32 and .380 used to be considered perfectly fine for self-defense. By 2075, people will be shrugging off .44 magnum. Eventually, energy weapons and melee will be the only way to kill people.
>>
>>64325567
No it wasn't. We had FOUTY FIVE AYY CEE PEE and .38 Super

Yeah and now we have anons with 50bmg handcannons. Baka ass nigger.

casting marks would be things like parting lines from the mold, those would be MIM gate marks

people who claim that the CZ75 and the Hi Power are part of the same "pattern" are usually nogun retards repeating something they heard in a TFB video.

That's not yours

I've owned both and I would still describe a CZ 75 as an improved BHP

>>64324179
Well, the original "Grande Puissance" was going to have a 18-20rd capacity 9x19mm magazine, which was huge capacity by the standard of 1920s handguns (it was also gonna be striker-fired). But Browning died, and the French did their usual thing of complaining about various features until the pistol got shrunk down into something they found acceptably-sized, whereupon they walked away entirely and adopted their own shit domestic design. 100 years later modern FN produces the cursed OP bullshit and taints the name for all time.

It's a compound barrel for economy using a MIM breech block like the Walther PPX. If you didn't know the Hi Power was also a two piece compound barrel.

>>64324630
Top one is a safety bottom one is a mag release.
>>
>>64324179
>What did they mean by this?
its called the highpower because its 13-round capacity was double their other semi-auto pistols at the time, 6 or 7 round guns barely better than a revolver
>>
>>64324688
Pretty much. So the idea was to take the paddle mag release and make it infinitely worse. Genius move really.
>>
>>64324179
Its high powered compared to fuddy five

Yeah Browning should have called it the "Lo-Power" so the Fat Niggas could call this new abomination the "Low-Power." Or maybe the "Adequate Power" based on how 9mm fanboys like to describe it.

Please tell me that 20-piece servings aren't a regular thing in the Republic of Burgeristan. Surely they mean 2 sets of 10-piece servings.
If 20-pieice servings are a real thing, they're meant to be shared, right? Right? RIGHT!?!

it's specifically a family-sized-meal thing
I have seen a number of people order it as a "yeah this takes care of all three kids" deal

an adult man needs like 2k calories for basic metabolism, more if they're physically active

Was JMB a fucking time traveler or something, he designed a wonder 9 like 60 years before the term would even be thought of
>>
>>64333236
imo he was autistic enough not to be constrained by "le heckin military tradition", which leads to superior firearms designs. Same thing with Glock, Kalashnikov, and Stoner
