The only one I can remember now was calling the lebel cartridge La Belle (it came up on screen) but there were definitely quite a few other technical errors in the machine gun and tank episodes which are the only two I've seen, I was really disappointed they didn't cover the BAR either...

What about a dry lubricant What about using some kind of "dry" lubricant like S&W's "Cerflon", anyone have experience using them? Glennser

No Excuse for Cruelty I can't really see the point in killing them either, for one thing you'll never eradicate them completely and if you leave pet food outside some wild animals are going to come for it no matter what you do, and it is true that cats do more damage to wildlife than pretty...

I don't know? I'm sorry but I definitely would not like to get a set of sights, especially tritium that had been installed and then removed, without a box, what exactly are Midway going to do them? I guess the guy made a mistake saying he would take them back but I feel you have a bit of a...

Having grown up in Ireland I can tell you that there is next to no gun culture, as a kid all I ever wanted was a bb gun or air rifle but they're under the same class as rifles, which are limited to .22lr and next to impossible to get. No private ownership of handguns at all, shotguns are...

I'm really saddened sometimes by the holier than thou attitudes sometimes expressed on this site, the OP was kind enough to share his experience with us, in no way was he condoning or encouraging unsafe behavior, we all make mistakes and should feel comfortable sharing with others so we can all...

Wow this thread has really wandered... Rugerlvr ""The female officer's actions were covered up, and she was promoted to detective for her gallantry. all in the name of diversity" This kind of sexist BS is not highroad. The shooter could have just as easily been a weak-willed man as...

Magazine Safeties I've no personal experience but I have heard complaints about mag safeties having a negative effect on the trigger pull of BHP's. Personally I think they're a good idea, I've heard arguments that any safety device on a gun leads to a false sense of security and is therefore...

Saddam's Pistol " What a'bout President Bush owning a "war trophy pistol" that belonged to Saddam Hussein? Are not the laws written with every U.S. citizen in mind; or does he get to keep that famed pistol that we Americans saw repeatedly on TV, of Saddam firing into the air from his perch...

Thanks for the suggestions Thanks for all the suggestions guys, that pic of Dillinger's hardware is wild, especially that 1911, always amazes me how few truly new ideas there are. Cosmoline, the director doesn't want me to give away the title publicly, he's coming into town in the next couple...

I've been asked by a close friend for suggestions of "machine guns" for a possible remake of a pretty famous gangster movie set in the '30's. I know the first thing everyone thinks of is the Thompson but I thought some of you might have some more unusual options (BAR?), what do you guys...

Not much to add, simply that I understood "Rooking" took place when the young birds where out of the nest but too young to fly, making a great, if cruel, shooting gallery for local villagers, I was originally told that heavy slow bullets were used to limit their range. Glennser

Danger of ammo. In a recent thread on cooking off rounds someone mentioned that steel cased rounds acted significantly different to brass (and plastic presumably). Of course I should have asked for more details then but have been thinking about it since. Can anyone elaborate? I haven't seen...

Just to clarify I wasn't talking about a government snatch of guns, I was thinking more along the lines of an armed populace being a serious deterrent to an invading army. Glennser

In fairness I don't really think an armed populace would be much deterrent for a modern, well-armed military, they would just adopt a scorched earth policy and destroy any buildings that offered resistance, they'd have all the advantages unfortunately and anyone who put up direct resistance...

Home Defense - not hyopthetical It does kind of bother me that the guys were leaving when he shot at them, if nothing else they managed to return fire on him, I for one want to avoid a gunfight if possible, I believe you have the right to protect your property and have no sympathy for the...

Shot at while walking home I live in LA and early afternoon Christmas Eve a couple of years ago we heard about 10 shots coming from the carpark of the School/RC Church next door, heard a car screeching away and thinking it was over went out while dialing 911 on cell phone, we saw some young...

Self-Winding Watches Although not really self-winding I did have one of the Seiko Kinetic watches that have a similar weighted pendulum in the back, although they charge a battery instead of a spring. Anyway about 2 years it broke, it had a glass back so you could see the weight spin and it...

Hollywood and Guns I thought the majority of deaths were caused by .22? Not even by a small margin either. The majority are accidental rather than intentional but it's pretty high in murders too. I know it wouldn't be most of our choice but availability must be a big factor. I also thought...
