[rec.guns] Walther PPK / auto actions

Folks, I made a booboo.        

In my post describing the differences between full and delayed blowback, I 
listed the HK P7 as being an example of full blowback.  Of course, this is 
false.  The P7 is an example of one type of gas operated action.  A good 
example of a full blowback gun is the Ruger MkII .22 auto.  It absorbs 
the force of a round being fired only with the weight of the bolt, and 
spring resistance from the mainspring.  Sorry about that, thanks to 
those that pointed it out to me via email.
