1. Based on the CO2 revolvers I've looked at, they all utilize flimsy materials (brass/aluminum valves, copper tubes, tiny CO2 puncture-pins, etc.). Yes, I am probably exaggerating since such materials and designs would not be ubiquitous if they are too weak; however, my experience with these...

Hey Doc. I'm just interested in practicing the skills for personal pleasure; no, I am not interested in any legal matches.

Sounds like the model. One more question, though, dealing with Webley Single Action+Double Action. Would the airgun version of the Webley allow for hammer-flicking*?( *Hammer-flicking: As the trigger is being pulled without releasing it, the cylinder still rotates as one is pulling back the...

I want to practice my cowboy action skills but - due to the internal valves and tubings - virtually all of the airguns I have found were not suitable for such a task. Unlike the cowboy action revolver seen in the video below, the couple of air-revolvers I currently own have harder-to-reach and...

Thank you!

I'm curious: are there any historical/reproduction cap and ball pistols today that use a break-action style of reloading like the Webley revolvers?

:what:I guess my reality has been reset again. Thanks for the book recommendation, will read.

Thanks a lot guys. It seems like I have been listening to myths again.

Hey guys. I'm not sure if this is the appropriate sub-forum, but I do like hiking and it seems like hunters should know what I am talking about. Furthermore, you guys seem pretty good with metallurgy. I am currently looking for food cans that are of the original type: steel plates coated with...

I know Nom, but most of these are non scholarly articles. I'm just not sure if this info is a common misconception/legend or actual fact.

That is very interesting, edd. If anybody can confirm this, please do so. I think there should be many scholarly historians on this forum.

This is indeed a good point. I am glad I am not the only one to consider single-shot shotgun pellet rounds to be "high capacity'.

I think private civilians can definitely continue to own hand cannons and grenade launchers, BTW. :D https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n6N2IJccZy4

And that is a good point. A blunderbuss, however, is easier to reload while on a moving platform. I think this one is rather standard. The 7 Key Founding Fathers are John Adams, Benjamin Franklin, Alexander Hamilton, John Jay, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, and George Washington. The 55...

Blunderbusses can fire "shotgun" rounds - in other words multiple pellets. This is more than the common anti-gun position that only single round muskets existed back then. The founding fathers can certainly own firearms for fun and hunting. To clarify again, I am only interested in the gun...
