Zu den "Plagiatsvorwürfen" habe ich mal ein wenig recherchiert. Der gepostete Link bezieht sich offensichtlich auf die Firma GS Custom Bullets aus Südafrika.

behauptet der User "Gina Schultz" Herr Möller habe nach seiner Rückkehr von einer Afrikareise 2003 und dem Ansinnen Geschosse von GS Custom Bullets zu vertreiben selbst solche zum Patent angemeldet und dann in Deutschland vertrieben. Die gemachte Aussage insinuiert unausgesprochen Möller habe wohl nur das Design im wahrsten Sinne des Wortes "Abgekupfert".
Gemäß dem alten Motto "audietur et altera pars" habe ich auch mal nachgesehen was Möller selbst dazu schreibt. Das ist alles hier nachzulesen:

Für allle die sich nicht durch Seitenlange Fotos von Artilleriegranaten wühlen wollen noch mal hier das wichtigste:
Ziatat Möller:
In 2000 I wanted a better Hunting bullet, than available on the Market. The Industry was not interested at all. Gerard Schultz / GS Custom / South Africa already made Copper bullets. So I approached Gerard for Bullets. He in turn wanted an aerodynamic Design for a .50"BMG Bullet, that I delivered on 6th July 2001 as a Drawing + Meridian dimensions for the Haack minimum wave drag nose....
und weiter
....Gerard later said, those Bullets went to Arabia and performed well, much better then all others. I have no Idea or Control on who got those Bullets and what was done with them....
....It was Johan Loubser who first outlined to
me and Gerard Schultz the Dependencies between Engraving forces and Combustion space dynamics. I immediately understood the great Potential to increase Bullet speeds within Pressure Limits from Findings with the added Benefit to reduce Barrel heating fro Series Fire as sport shooters. Again, I applied only used available Knowledge.....
When You look at GS Custom Bullets though, You may notices, they do not benefit from Loubser's Wisdom. Apparently Gerard in Practice did not follow his good and
free Advice.
Copper alloys, are for hollow pointed Hunting bullets the Material of Choice. Unfortunately Gerard never delivered Bullets in Time, even though I helped him to procure electronic control modules for his little broken CNC Lathe, that he had a Problem to do himself. Even after the got the Lathe up and running again I faced no Bullets for my 6,5x65 Heym SR20N when I visited him in 2003 for a Hunting trip in South Africa. Consider this: You travel ¼ around the Globe to test some Bullets You ordered for Hunting and when You arrive they were not there. I was offered a 7x57 Mauser. Gerard had a box of uncleaned Brass of various Manufacturers, so I had to pick some and load and go. We measured the Speed and sighted the Rifle.....
....The Idea for the LM-105 long range bullet was a logical Step to utilize the Possibilities of turned Bullets, as You make those longer than pressed Bullets. To shoot very long Bullets ( 6 - 7 Calibers long) You need steep Twists, up to 9 degrees or 20 Calibers long. Those were not easily available at that Time. So I founded a Consortium to design, make and use them in a Competition. Rheinmetall asked for 10 Days Engineering to answer my Question on cm', so I rejected the Offer and designed the LM-105 with my then limited Capabilities aerodynamically by myself.
Gerard did the Drive bands. Dr. Frank Walther / Lothar Walther agreed to supply Gain twist Barrel. Penttii Louhisola / Sako agreed to supply a TRG-42 to carry the Barrel and assemble the Rifle. Hans A. Bender / Schmidt &Bender agreed to provide PMII Rilfe scopes and Janne Pohjoispaa / Lapua agreed to supply .338" Lapua Magnum Cases. Tom Marstii and later Jari Purannen agreed to shoot the Rilfe. We won the first Time we appeared on the Lapua Sniper Cup. Other Folks with other Guns still win Sniper Competitions, but those are internal Events in the Military between friendly Nations and no Publicity is wanted or will be tolerated. So I know, what I deliver and it's good.
As Gerard never reliably shipped ordered Bullets, I made my own. Her some come
Ziatat Ende
Wenn ich das richtig verstehe, beschreibt Möller die Arbeit an dem Geschoss als eine Art Gemeinschaftsleistung, wobei er doch ohne wenn un aber zugesteht, dass Gerard einen Anteil an dem Design des Geschosses hatte. Nämlich die Adaption der des Führbanddesigns aus dem Bereich der Artillerie hin zu Langwaffengeschossen. Wenn Möller aber wesentliche Beiträge zu dem Gesamtresultat beigesteurt hat z.B. Aerodynamik, Materialmischung die Schwarze Plastikkappe, etc dann handelt es sich nicht um ein Plagiat.
Plagiat ist nämlich der schlichte, exakte Nachbau eines Geschosses. Das scheint ja gerade nicht vorzuliegen. Es scheint ja wesentliche Unetrschiede zwischen den Geschossen zugeben. Für diese These spricht im Übrigen, dass sich Herr Möller ein Gebrauchsmuster hat eintragen lassen welches hier zusehen ist.
http://lutz-moeller-jagd.de/Geschosse/M ... schoss.htm
Hätte Herr Schultz ein seinerseits ein Patent gehabt und innerhalb der Einspruchsfrist reagiert hätte Möller das Gebrauchsmuster nie bekommen.
Etwaige Plagiatsvorwürfe scheinen mir daher unbegründet zu sein
