Coincidentally, its maximum accurate range and its penetration depth are about the same distance

Wym, you have a whole 5mm of barrel to work with after the chamber, I'm sure it'll make it 50cm before dropping straight to the ground like a looney tunes cartoon.

Obrez usually has at least a forward grip (the thing's basic incarnation was just somebody sawing the barrel and stock off of a mosin to make it more discreet), yes

I can't imagine holding it like a normal pistol

Hey gun nerds rather unrelated question. 9mm standard pistol bullet's case is not much bigger than its bullet diameter. But rifle bullets and bullets in this picture have a diameter increase beyond bullet. Why? Why they don't just make the bullet cases longer to store same amount of gunpowder?

Case shape funnels the explosion through a smaller area, allowing them to achieve more force with a smaller amount of powder.

Maybe to ease extraction? Standard bolt action rifles have much differing action
