Does the rifle have any stampings as to whether it's A B or C or anything like that?

I would say the confusion regarding the Spanish round , the 147 gr one. as a NATO round would be around the fact that Spain was not a NATO country, so that technically it could not produce a "NATO" round no matter how much it resembles NATO specifications .
What have you got? There can't be much chambered for it?
From memory forgotten weapons or c&rasenal did a vid on it a while back

Nice, slow motion is a nice touch
Almost like tracer.
Very easy to see with slo-mo.
What frame speed was that?
120 FPS. I shot the video using an iPhone 5S. @Glycerine just noticed that it looks as if you have a toe for a thumb. :P
you could see it at normal speed as well, very easy light hitting load, kids could handle it! (I assume i don't have any i can experiment with)Quote:
