About a third of the people I have taken shooting over the course of the last few years have ended up purchasing firearms. The rest have walked away from the experience with a very different opinion of guns and gun rights then when they started the day. Keep in mind I live in a very densely...

A friend of mine working for Campus Reform wrote this article, and it is nice to see that some in academia are rational about firearms. For those that don't know, the ideas behind free speech zones is that students may protest solely within the confines of a predesignated area. Timing and nature...

There are a multitude of manufacturers of the AK pattern rifle out there, and I have read negative opinions of many of them. I have heard bad things about Inter Ordinance, Romanian WASR Rifles, and some others. Are these actually bad rifles? Who makes the best AK pattern rifles on the US market?

I recently have come into possession of .54 caliber cap and ball pistol. I don't really have much intention of doing this myself as I have minimal experience, but has anyone made their own black powder and lead projectiles? Please be specific as to what you made, how you did it, how well it...

gpb that is really interesting, one of those really esoteric flash in the pan calibers. manson, im fully aware that the ten gauge exists, i was just commenting on the other gauges that the fox model b was produced in. Though i failed to mention the .410 as it isnt strictly speaking a gauge...

thanks for the help guys, i saw something that appeared to be a 5 and it confused the hell out me. turns out the zoom function on an iphone plus a magnifying glass yields a much more 6 like digit then i previously thought. it was that gap that baffled me, and a broken die makes a hell of a lot...

Update: It is a fox model B, from Savage, I am not sure of the year it was manufactured but we did take a picture of the marking in question. It might be a strange sort of wear pattern considering how the 5 looks, as most all of the original blueing gone, but it looks like a 5, and it looks as...

I recently came across an older shotgun, marked Fox 15 Gauge. Now I assume this old gun, a side by side, is a Fox brand gun, but i have never heard of a 15 gauge and I cannot find any mention of it online. From what I have seen the Fox guns were manufactured in 12, 16, and 20 gauge. I am...

I've got a question, in the episode Double M16s, they take two M16s and mount them together on a small patrol boat, supposedly at the behest of some Navy sailors looking for a weapon system to boost their firepower. My question is what the hell is the point of jerry rigging a couple of M16s...

I think here in the northeast there is something of an anti gun sentiment that is, if anything, based on ignorance of firearms. I'm in RI, and I have found that most people are somewhat anti-2A, but the thing is that when most are confronted about the topic they don't know much about it. If you...

Not all folks who work at gun stores are pro gun. I had a guy in a Massachusetts Dick's say that Rhode Island is the reason for all of Mass' gun crime because we don't have a permit requirement for long guns, just a seven day waiting period.

The third pic looks like an HK MP7.

A great thing to do would be to mount them on ships to replace the Phalanx rotary cannon systems. While I do thing that the rotary cannon is one of the coolest things in the world they do take time to spool up, whereas this thing is ready to fire at full rate immediatly. In a large enough...

The American President, Bowling for Columbine Elephant, and Runaway Jury are four that really come to mind, and three out of four of those I was forced to watch in school.

I had to watch that in a government class a few years back, we also watched the American President and an Inconvenient Truth before that. By the time the teacher announced Bowling for Columbine I almost lost it, I got into a heated shouting match with the guy and called him out on being a...
