    Ammo Apps - App Store will not allow...

    I wonder if this is some kind of 2nd Amendment statement or if it has to do with how Apple takes a percentage of all sales that go through an app. I know Apple has cracked down on Apps that advertise prices but don't allow the purchase through the app to avoid paying a percentage to Apple. Also...

    Unsafe gun handling during Rand Paul Photo Op

    The ones being unsafe are those trying to get a photograph. Rand is surrounded by people, being told to take aim and then told to fire. Who should have been in charge of the situation? The instructor. As for those at 10 o'clock, well it is hard to say, if the camera being used as a wide angle...

    Whataburger bans OC in TX restaurants

    Which restaurants do you go to that allows you to open carry? When was the last time you were carrying open in a restaurant? I am anxious to see if any of the listed restaurants are big name chains or are they something else. I don't care if someone is going to boycott, but can you share that...

    Whataburger bans OC in TX restaurants

    Last time I was in Texas I went to What-A-Burger. I thought the locals were telling me to get a water burger, and I am like, "A water burger, what is a water burger?" It was a good burger. I see no problem with any company saying no guns allowed, or saying open carry. It is a private business...

    M855 - 5.56 Pistol Ban?

    Yes, this is "discussion" fodder. That is why I ask what people think. Seems several do not think that they would attempt to classify any handgun that shoots a rifle cartridge to be a short barreled rifle. I am intrigued by the idea that it might be easier to go after any handgun that shoots a...

    M855 - 5.56 Pistol Ban?

    First of all, I think they would be happy to ban all pistols, well everything actually. Having a law or directive that is loosely defined is right down their alley. If you can ban any ammo that can be fired in a pistol that has equal or greater penetration to the already banned "cop killer"...

    M855 - 5.56 Pistol Ban?

    I am starting to believe that the path will be to classify any pistol that shoots a rifle cartridge will be classified as a short barreled rifle. Has anyone discussed this before?

    .308 brass - strange shoulder after firing

    Seems that a conclusion to this is that FN SCAR 17 chambers are made such that the "ring" or "extra shoulder" is normal. I found some old posts showing this from two years ago. So, if you have a SCAR 17, and you notice your brass is like the photos above, others have seen the same thing and it...

    .308 brass - strange shoulder after firing

    From my understanding it is new ammo. About two years ago someone else posted this: The brass on the left was fired out of a bolt gun, the right out of a SCAR 17. The cases have to be forming to the chamber and there has to be some extra angle in the chamber, I mean look at how crisp the...

    .308 brass - strange shoulder after firing

    I don't know enough to say if there is a problem. But it does create questions. Where is the shoulder supposed to start? Is there a standard that a chamber should be cut to? If so, is this chamber cut to the standard? Maybe this is a lot of hoodoo about nothing, but the one guy saying they...

    .308 brass - strange shoulder after firing

    I was on another forum and someone posted this picture of .308 brass after firing in his semi-auto rifle. Another guy on the forum says it is normal, and yet another guy posted and says his rifle does it to and when he tried to reload the brass with a full length resizing die it doesn't...

    Ignorance behind "Shot placement is key" fallacy.

    I think this is thread is more about the old saying, "Correlation does not imply causation". To say that shot placement does not matter then means that shooting someone from the front through the nose is no different than shooting off someone's finger. To say that penetration doesn't matter...
