    Wondering what I have?

    Not trying to be rude, but it looks to me like a pretty fancy bottle opener. I don't think I'd be tempted to try and use it as a knife .... in fact I'd be inclined to make sure the edges aren't sharp at all.

    Oddball goofy sword question

    It looks to be essentially a falchion derived from a falcatta. The single edged falchion was commonly issued to archers and other troops in medieval times because its a slashy, hacky kinda weapon that doesn't require a great deal of finesse to be effective, but can be very effective indeed...

    Italian Gun Laws

    Compared to ....? Compared to the UK, some aspects of the Italian gun laws don't sound too bad. Compared to Australia, some aspects of the Italian gun laws don't sound too bad. Compared to New Zealand, some aspects of the Italian gun laws don't sound too bad. It all depends on your...

    .30-06 EBRs?

    So, back to the original question, "Why aren't there many 30.06 EBRs?" Probably because the .308 cartridge (or 7.62NATO) has similar ballistics yet is a shorter overall length. The rifle's mechanism doesn't have to move so far to extract, eject and feed another 7.62NATO round and that means...

    Non-USA members

    The attitudes to guns in New Zealand have changed a lot over the last 50-60 years. I remember my father telling me that when he was at school during WWII the boys all had compulsory rifle training (SMLEs) at school and were taught how to field strip and maintain Bren guns ... along with...

    "Why do you NEED a silencer?"

    Here in New Zealand there are no restrictions at all on sound moderators (or silencers or whatever else you want to call them). A lot of people who have .22s also have a moderator on them or at least for them. They're reasonably cheap and easily purchased ... in fact more easily purchased...

    Non-USA members

    Thank you Dope! I've been a member of this forum for a few years now, but I really don't post very often because of the derogatory comments that get posted about other countries and their gun laws. You can just about guarantee than anytime the UK is mentioned, someone will start the Brit...

    political cartoons re: Heller outcome?

    Well, that one is implying that gun owners and 2a supporters are nuts ..... that's why the guy in the NRA hat with the open carry T shirt is being carried by a bunch of squirrels to be stored with the other nuts. Not exactly a positive image, pro-2a sentiment really. :scrutiny:

    Curse you, Cold Steel!

    Joe, why buy a Cold Steel knife that isn't exactly what you want, when you can get what you want elsewhere (probably cheaper)? Try Track of the Wolf http://www.trackofthewolf.com/(S(dcnyyoe3cm1buhqqvb1wq3u5))/categories/partList.aspx?catId=9&subId=58&styleId=224&PageSize=10&Page=3 or...

    Briton cracks down on knives (even more)

    I believe that the OP's intention was to inform fellow THRers about this particular social phenomenon in the UK and the official response to it, however, I also believe that within a few posts the usual Brit bashing will commence. It goes right along with the French bashing, California bashing...

    Chaps my behind

    Literally that means something like "a fisherman makes candles with difficulty" I think (though my Italian is still not very good). Man I have so much to learn about Italian. Spinner

    Animals - natural self defense mechanism

    Ocotpus (and squid) ink is a distraction rather than an active defence mechanism. The idea is that a sudden cloud of ink distracts and disorientates the attacker, but won't actually harm anyone or anything. The human analogy would be releasing a smoke bomb if a mugger attacked you and...

    Step aside: Pink Panther stepping up !

    But why bother? All you gotta do is buy a XYZ brand shotgun, bolt a bunch of stuff like shell holders, lights, lasers, ghost ring sights, etc onto it and stick a bunch of whatever the guy at the gunshop says is the best ammo into it and you're good to go. It must be true, I read it on the...
