Just started watching tonight. They are doing a great job so far. Lead actor has the character nailed.
Why'd ya hafta go an' say that name in this thread?100% better than Cruise
It comes later in this book. Has to do with blind Blake.Wheres the wokeness? I missed it
I caught that and told my wife.."here we go... "8 minutes in & Reacher’s informing the cop that a 9mm 95g is subsonic.
🤨
Well, Beirut was 40 years ago. They also did away with his aversions to a phone.Yeah I was confused when they said he was injured in Falujah. Wasn’t it Beirut? I guess Beirut is forgotten…
@Gaston didn’t you do a 95g 9mm speed experiment?8 minutes in & Reacher’s informing the cop that a 9mm 95g is subsonic.

80 gr. @ 1500 FPS I think. Still got a couple hundred of them loaded it. They're too expensive to shoot. 😂@Gaston didn’t you do a 95g 9mm speed experiment?
At the end of the final episode, his aversion returns... it's a practical aversion, set aside during a life threatening investigation.Well, Beirut was 40 years ago. They also did away with his aversions to a phone.
It is the top viewed show on prime right now, I'll bet that earns another season.We watched it all Friday night. When it was finishing up is when my kidney stone started hurting so bad. Thought it was pretty good. Any one know if they have plans for more seasons?
Correct. You might be able to tell if you had audio and video. Or from a wound channel. Or if you knew the point of origin and the barrel length and were able to follow the parabolic trajectory along with the bullet's mass you could extrapolate that it was indeed subsonic. Or simply knowing that the industry standard is 147 grain and assuming it was subsonic, even though technically you could load it hot so it was just a heavier bullet.Finished over the weekend. It has already been renewed for Season 2.
As is typical of Hollywood, there are technical errors in the script. At least in my own limited knowledge seem to be mistakes.
Referring to 9mm 95 gr as subsonic is wrong. 147gr is typically subsonic. And there is no way to tell from the bullet whether is was a subsonic load.
Feel free to correct me if my assumption is wrong.
I was looking on Magtech's web site. Muzzle velocity for the their 147gr and subsonic 147 are actually the same. Same load. So I guess they charge more for "certified" subsonic.Correct.

Watching this now.
First, Officer Roscoe is a cutie!
Second, Reacher almost sounds like he has Aspergers or something. But a badass form of Aspergers.
Looking forward to the rest of the episodes.
Yep,I was looking on Magtech's web site. Muzzle velocity for the their 147gr and subsonic 147 are actually the same. Same load. So I guess they charge more for "certified" subsonic.
The show was trying to say a 9mm 95 gr was subsonic, implying that because it is 95gr it is sub. But 95gr, from the few I looked at, are the JSP target marketed for states than ban hollow point. Higher velocity for energy, but less penetration and this less chance of pass through.
I believe it's not intentional, just that screenwriters are arogant jackasses who think they know everything. They wrote it, so it must be true, physics be damned.This show was better than I thought... but I also had some pretty low expectations. lol I was glad there wasn't people slobbering all over each other to appease the woke gender confused crowd. There isn't a single series that I watch on regular abc, cbs, nbc channels these days cause I feel like they're attempting to program my mind.
Wheel of Time was overall a good show. I only downloaded one episode the first night cause I just assumed I wouldn't like it but it was alright... except for one woke scene.
I think Hollywood these days deliberately get things wrong like the 95gr subsonic for unknown reasons. Obviously someone had to have known better. And many shows will show a guy getting rid of a gun just throwing it in a river, beach or lake front just a few meters out... as if to program the Low IQ out there that if they ever have to get rid of a gun, this is the way to do it... so LE can find it easily. lol There was a Unabomber series a few years ago and all the packages had smooth packing tape around every single edge of the boxes so finger prints would be left no matter where you pick it up.
I'll definitely watch a Season 2 of Reacher. Looking forward to another season of Snowfall.
