I was considering getting a FAL. I'm aware of only 2 manufacturers of FALs, DS Arms and Entreprise Arms. The DS Arms one looks nice, but is pretty expensive at 1,700 bucks. Entreprise, on the other hand, has 2 models, a "government" model and a "standard" model. The only difference I see is the...

both 9mm and .45 are VERY close in energy (averaging about 500-some joules). the thing is, .45 has more area and doesn't penetrate like 9mm

I don't consider myself a libertarian because I don't believe in an unregulated economy. plus, libertarianism seems unusually dogmatic for a political philosophy.

maybe integrate it into social studies. while learning about the american revolution, some period actors can demonstrate the muskets in use back then, then when learning about more modern wars, do the same with modern weapons, along with the safety rules.

I like to look at everything through a scientific perspective. firearms are just tools that uses a chemical reaction to propel a projectile, nothing more. I think alot of people don't like guns because they let irrational feelings get in the way (the loud noise guns make is scary!). it's the...

how does castle law apply to the situation? I don't know the legalities, but could it be said you have no duty to retreat because you're cornered?

do you mean as a sort of defense cannon if ships enter "earth airspace"? i'm a little rusty in science but since gunpowder relies on a chemical reaction, I think it is limited to the speed of sound. gauss and rail guns are theoretically better, but there hasn't been much luck with them.

ruger 10/22?

reading up on cartridge statistics, it has around the same energy as +P 9mm and .45

Cz 75!

as a history buff, i've always had an interest in swords and am considering getting one. however, searching the internet all I can find is "fantasy swords" like from star wars, lord of the rings, video games etc. I don't really have a special type in mind but am leaning towards a katana...

the 1890's steyr pistols. those things are PRIMITIVE!

such a shame the HP isn't more common. it's like the 1911 of europe, you'd think more companies would make more copies.

nice, OP. I wrote them a letter myself in the past but all I got back was "please visit our website to learn about the ACLU" or some such BS PR response.

thanks for the welcome guys. I don't intend for the CZ-52 to be a self-defense gun, just what are the thoughts on it's cartridge.

Anyways, to make the discussion firearms related, i'm looking at getting a CZ-52 (I love Czech guns). What is everyone's thoughts on the 7.62x25? Do you think it is still a viable self-defense cartridge (using JHP of course)

Hi everyone. I'm sort of new here (I registered a few months ago to make a post in a topic). And yes, I know i'm probably in the minority here being left of center :p but I assure you, I think the 2nd amendment is just as important as them all.

i meant if you CC your gun you don't need to remember if the safety is on or not in the heat of battle.

have you guys seen this? http://www.m1911.org/loader.swf
