    Electrical wizards - could stun guns be lethal weapons if manufactured specifically..

    with the intent to kill? No particular reason for the question, except I just saw a video of "Chad Vader, day shift manager", and it made me question if we have current technology that is "light saber" equivalent in terms of lethality. To restate the question, could you put the...

    I hate gun cleaning - there, I said it

    Consequently I've got a bunch of filthy guns (handguns mostly) Thinking about ways to make this chore easier. Would disassembly and soaking parts in Hoppes for a few hours in advance help? Would it damage any parts/finish? What if I never did anything other than a soaking, a few runs...

    Springfield Champion sights and trigger replacement/adjustment?

    Let me start by saying I don't have any experience with gunsmithing/repair, except for basic items like stripping down to clean, replacing a few H&R revolver hammersprings - and firing pins in Thompson center .22 rifles. I am handy with a wrench, but if what I'm asking about is beyond my...

    What is the value of a Sears/Roebuck Ted Williams single shot lever action .22?

    Let me start you out with a little history. This was the first gun I ever was a (part) owner of. Approximately in 1985, my older brother and I convinced my father to let us purchase it as a yard sale, for the princely sum of approximately (could be ten bucks either way) 40 bucks. I put in...

    Paintball caliber? .410 rubber, plastic, wodden bullets, ideas?

    I need an idea of what to construct painful but not likely lethal or injurious bullets for a 410, with the construction material being very painful but non injurious when applied to the butt of a medium furred large dog, even at close range. What caliber are paintballs? What about whittled...

    ARRRRR Pirates! - Barges in intnl waters - shooting meccas - arms lockers - gun sales

    O.K. the 'arrr pirates' thread gave me this idea. It seems to me that there are a lot of super wealthy yachters that spend a great portion of their lives sailing the seas, forbidden in many areas from posession of defensive arms. I'm sure a lot of them simply break the law...

    Extraction/non extraction causes on autoloaders?

    In this particular instance it's the beretta .22 I bought yesterday which doesn't have an extractor. It ejects fine with one brand of ammo and rarely, if at all with another, pricier (CCI) brand of ammo. I'm wondering the cause. Is it the casing rims, the power of the load or what?

    Springfield Armory 1911

    I'm looking for a 1911 style .45, and I got some recommendations here for the SA. I was looking at the gunshow today at Colt brand 1911's and I saw that I think I like the looks of the 'commander' model better than the standard GI model, it seems to have a shorter barrel, and seems a nicer...

    Holster for a Beretta bobcat?

    I got myself a beretta bobcat today for a plinker/kit gun. I'm looking for a holster for it. I want one that is worn on the belt outside the pants, with at the very least a tie down strap. A full holster with an overflap (like the old 19th century military holsters) would be even better as I...

    Canada backs Sikh dagger rights

    Not really "gun rights", but a tiny step in the right direction regarding religious freedom and issues pitting the illusion of public safety vs personal security. Keep in mind that many 100's of years ago the dagger was the equivalent of a pistol. ****...

    Suggest a *reliable* 1911 style .45 at the lower end of the price

    spectrum. I wanted one for a carry gun (primarily car carry). Doesn't need to be pinpoint accurate, or have a 'trigger like melted butter', but should be counted on to fire every time I pull the trigger.

    super small/light kit/trail .22?

    Lately I'd been wanting another mouse gun, just for plinking and such, and wished they had a kel-tec in .22 caliber. Another post made me think about the berreta bobcat. Any thoughts?
