Which is more deadly 7.62 nagant or 9x18 mak

[arbud]

Which round would be the more deadly round. Properly placed of course. Any opinions. Thanks

Stand downrange. You tell me.

Neither is as deadly as the gaseous emissions produced by a steady diet of borscht, cabbage, shchi, ukha, and of course lots of vodka.

That warrants the use of incendiary rounds from a distance.

Any projectile is deadly if placed correctly, even a piece of gravel. Weird question OP.

Whichever one can fire these -

They don't even have to hit to kill you...

Prolly not much difference.. IIRC they are of similar bullet weight and the X18 is only slightly faster.

and bring a camera?

Only if your name is Jim or James though...

9x18 has significantly more muzzle energy, much more than a .380 and roughly on a par with .38 Special. 7.62 Nagant is a relatively weak round. Though to be honest, I wouldn't want to get shot by either.

 

[mopar92]

Exactly the point of my post. Head shot either or. Body/center of mass 9x18 Mak.

 

[BradMacc82]

I'd lean towards the 9x18, easier to find ammo..., although I may not be looking hard enough for nagant ammo...

OP I'm sorry for the harsh tone of my initial post. I came across as a d!ck. The reason being I picture someone wanting to kill somebody but not knowing which gun to use. Then picking the one that matches his shoes.

I have a weird sense of humor.

Pretty sure the Mak will be more lethal, don't think I have ever seen much testing on the Nagant but it's pretty weak.

As luck would have it, it looks like Southern Ohio Gun just got a large supply of Russian surplus 7.62 Nagant ammo: http://www.southernohiogun.com/ammo/russian-7-62-1895-pistol-ammo.html

That's a pretty good deal. Someone used to be trying to sell 14rd boxes on GB for $28 or something like that. I thought it odd you could but the revolver for less than $100, but the ammo used to cost a fortune, even though it was kinda obsolete as a military sidearm round.

I know if I was forced to play Russian Roulette, I'd choose the seven shot Nagant over the Makarov.

As long as you're not the one going first...

I know. I bought one a couple of months ago. Also bought 4 boxes of ammo.
I have more invested in the ammo than I do the gun!

9X18 by far.

7.62 Nagant is a horrible cartridge with terrible ballistics.
