    Looking for murder stats - US is more violent in general? Punching?

    I remember bumping across an argument that the US has such high homicide rates not because we are awash in guns but because we as a country are just more violent, and then data was shown that our murder rate for punching/kicking was higher than other countries. I am having zero luck finding...

    Can one powder be used for both rifle and handgun?

    You don't have to worry about me going off and blowing my hands off trying this. This is theory only. Is there any powder that is multi-use enough that you could make it work in a centerfire rifle and a handgun? I suppose if you back up all the way to blackpowder era, you could have a 45...

    Lawsuit vs Katie Couric...what are the chances?

    Per the title. Under the Gun documentary by Couric falsely placed a 'pregnant' pause after a question to imply the participants didn't have an answer, when in fact they jumped to respond. They are now suing http://fortune.com/2016/09/13/katie-couric-lawsuit/ Do they stand even a small...

    If I don't have a grenade launcher...

    If I don't have a grenade launcher...then why do I need a thin section on the barrel of an AR-15? Seems to me a barrel of consistent thickness would handle heat better, seems to me the thin part would heat up more/faster, and any changes to POI due to barrel warming would be magnified as that...

    Popular handguns in the UK

    The UK has some draconian gun laws right now, especially handgun laws, but this wasn't always the case. Does anyone know what handguns were popular in the UK for personal protection from, say, end of WW 2 until the draconian laws kicked in? You have the obvious Webley Mark IV, Enfield No...

    Weaver Classic V

    I picked up a Weaver Classic V in 2-10x38 for a bolt gun. It didn't come with lens covers, which to me is quite unusual. Is this an oversight or is this the new thing?

    Thunder plus...how thick?

    I had a Bersa 380, got it for a really nice price, and sold it to a friend later for a few bucks less. I always intended to get a replacement (sold it as more of a favor). I never got around to it. I've been thinking of getting one again now that I have a CCW. I see there is now a double...

    22 magnum size

    Question for you guys. The other day I went shooting bringing along a few 22LR rifles and my uncle brought a 22 magnum Smith and Wesson revolver, probably 1950's or 60's era. We cleaned the guns afterwards, but I couldn't pass the jag of the generic 22 cal cleaning rod down the barrel of...

    Mosin Nagant recoil pad

    Okay, I just got one off of ebay, but the thing is as hard as a rock. Now, I think the extra length of pull will be a good addition, but i don't know how much recoil will be absorbed That's what I have. Anyone else have one? Is it hard rubber or soft? Like or dislike?

    Scope ring quality?

    Okay, I thought about putting this in accessories, but I figured General would be good too to catch more people's experience. I am picking up some medium height weaver rings, I checked Midway USA and prices range from $6.39 to $98.99 Now, I am not putting this on a SHTF self defense...

    calculating recoil/kick

    Okay, we all know that kick is subjective, with factors like shooter tolerance and stock fit playing a big part. But there are parts that can be predicted and measured, such as actual recoil forces. So here's my question. I googled a rifle recoil calculator up, and it asked for grains of...

    When are we getting the Thune Bill?

    My understanding of the 'National CCW' act that didn't go anywhere in the Senate was that it was an amendment being tacked onto an existing bill, which is why a 58-39 vote didn't carry. What about a stand-alone bill that does the same thing? There 58-39 will definately carry the day. I am...
