When you talk about “us moral people” and I say “Moral people? What’s a moral person?” I say realistic, because up until my scenarios, the scenario itself was like every other gun owner’s utopia event. Good guy who’s never been convicted of a crime, a regular pillar of the community, a...

Being new to guns and all, I have no idea what kind of trigger action I should be looking for. As far as I know, there are three types of action: Single, Double, Double Only. Let me see if I am correct about what each one of these terms mean. Single Action: This requires that the hammer...

Rereading this, two things come into my mind more so now than did when I first read it. First, why are you carrying a gun in plane view at work? Wow! Talk about the preverbal slave master brandishing his whip to make sure everyone stays in line. Another thing that just rubs me the wrong...

Now let’s look at this situation from a more realistic perspective. If there were no witnesses, I’d just run. If you’re from Maryland like I am, CCW is nearly impossible. So chances are you’re violating the law by carrying and concealing the gun you used. This is only going to be...

It seems to me that it isn’t a matter of practicing to use a weapon under genuine stress; but to use your weapon while being calm in a situation that ought to bring about stress. Even in something as simple and theoretically relaxing as a video game, I’ve been known to fumble all my controls...

Well, in that situation, I would not have shot him, or drawn my gun. I would’ve stood my ground and taken an ass whoopin. If this guy began whooping me too hard, I would’ve pulled my gun and told him “That’s enough! Just back off! You’ve proved your point, you beet my ass, you won the fight...

LMAO :D I suddenly got this vision of some shaved headed guys sitting around in front of a fire place knitting swastika quilts :D I know what you're talking about. Most self proclaimed neo-nazis are basically the WWII version of a Treky. Instead of dressing up as Klingons, they dress up like SS...

M2 Carbine, let me just say: That's a beautiful gun. Well, even though I don't own a gun yet, I have come across this question in my mind. I think about how expensive a gun is, and then realize that using it will scratch it up, dropping it could really mess it up. So logically I should opt for...

Let me just say this about the Democratic Mafia and the Republican Mafia: Both parties are cut throat gangsters who only wish to quench their own thirst for power. Neither party comes even remotely close to representing America- or at least the same American people that whooped the Indians...

Bullet type abbreviations. What do the following abbreviations stand for, and what exactly is the difference in the behavior of that type of bullet. HP JHP FMJ FPJ RN JHC JSP What does ACP and AE stand for? As in .45 ACP and .50 AE What is a NATO round? What is a Parabellum round...

Rifling, to the best of my knowledge, refers to grooves set inside the barrel that cause the bullet to spin. The spinning of a bullet stops it from tail-end wobbling and tumbling while in flight. The lack of wobbling and tumbling is what determines accuracy. Assuming my above understanding...

Does barrel length affect recoil? Does barrel length affect the volume of the blast? From what I hear, a long barrel, up to a point, increases muzzle velocity. To what point does the length of the barrel cease to increase speed? Meaning, what is the longest a barrel can be before its...

Hey etienne, I've heard of a silencing technique where you wrap a towel around the barrel of the gun. The towel will absorb the "pop" from the gas leaving the muzzle. Of course I am basing that on an episode of the X-Files :rolleyes: I've also had a couple of people mention to me that you...

Dillon 550B new with .45 dies and shell plate= $365 Scale= $40 Calipers= $20 Primer flip tray= $20 Falling in love with a new hobby= Priceless I’m afraid to start reloading. I’ve heard from the reloading forum here that it’s very addictive. It’s a hobby all its own. So take a look at...

this may be somewhat off topic, but in regards to this comment How much sound does the breaking of the sound barrier produce? Or at least how much percent less noise does it make than the "pop" of the gas escaping the barrel? I know that under ideal circumstances sound travels at 761 mph...

Every newbie such as myself is tempted to ask "what's the best gun in the world?" which is a ridiculous question for obvious reasons. So I am going to concentrate on quality and repair issues. A gun is a machine, and thus it is prone to wear and breakage. Craftsmanship, Usage, and...

Ballistics is based on the concept that a bullet in motion will hit the ground at the same time as the one with forward energy. So the myth is a fact. If not, the entire science of ballistics would have to be rewritten. Also, aim high or low? If you were shooting uphill, while standing...

I’ve never heard of Anti’s slipping bullets into guns to promote an unwanted discharge; thus proving guns, even in the hands of experts, are deadly things with minds of their own. But at the same time this sort of behavior really wouldn’t surprise me. It was just a few weeks ago I was reading...

Oh no! I can't believe that wicked lady shot that poor old criminal :eek: Now he's going to be scarred for life, and due to the trauma, he may never be able to rob liquor stores again. :rolleyes: You see! This is what happens when just anybody is allowed to own a gun. How many more criminals...

Well thank you for the answers. When I get my first gun (which I'm really sure is going to be a Double Action Revolver) I will be sure to get a snap cap to practice my trigger pulling with. I never knew such a thing as a snap cap existed. You guys are teaching this newbie well ;)
