I'm not sure exactly what the rules are regarding own-site shipping, but I'd say it DOES relate to firearms.

http://crimsonsguns.tripod.com

I've added some stuff from firefly/serenity and removed all the images I "liberated" without permission from world.guns.ru, replacing them with images in the public domain (thank you Wikimedia)

I might add that I will quite happily add any weapons to the site that you request, provided;
-you give me an image and/or some information regarding them
-they are not standard weapons, I don't have room for EVERY gunslinger with a 1911 or beretta 92, exception are for very notable anime characters like Rally Vincent (who I am a bit ashamed of not having... Yet)
 
Fixed, mistyped my Url.

Can't say much about the content of the site, but it certainly has more popups, popunders, ActiveX controls, and full-page no-exit advertising than I've seen in the last year or so.
 
ABTOMAT

You can thank Tripod for that....they used to be a fairly decent free host (I.E. little or no intrusive code added to your web page,) but over the years they've piled on more and more crap...

I used to maintain a MOD music site there some years back.
 
Really? that many pop-ups.

Thanks for telling me, normally my pop-up blocker gets them,

though to be fair to tripod, they haven't disabled my site even though it's running about a gigabyte over the supposed bandwith limit
 
I got three or four popup windows, three full-screen popups with no title bar, and three or four windows prompting me to install malware.

FWIW, I'm running a clean, fresh Windows install with no spyware or other problems. It's all Tripod.
 
I dropped tripod as my site host a couple of years ago because of all the trash they started appending. I guess it hasn't gotten any better.

Pops
 
Popup blocker must have caught everything...

RE the site, I liked it. Nice little factoids on Cowboy Beebop and the guns of the Firefly universe.
 
why I'm not really into the anime of game stuff. That is some good work you have done. Very cool stuff.

If you were to ever get around to it I would love to see something on the guns used in Sopranos.
 
Can you use images captured directly from the DVD video?

I have images and info for several different/obscure anime guns.
 
"Can you use images captured directly from the DVD video?

I've yet to see the studios make a fuss about it, by all means.

I don't have anything I can take decent screen caps with, otherwise the site would probably be larger
 
Are you pointing that out because the info is inaccurate, or because he said 'bullets' instead of 'rounds'?
 
Lots of bad info. Tons, in fact. Every other sentence, almost, not counting the rampant use of "bullet," "clip," etc.

Mateba cylinders swing down like any old revolver. Only the one in the anime swings up.

Almost all derringers use tip-up barrels. A few (mostly single shot ones) swing to the side instead. Almost none are breech loaded. The Liberator and the Deer Gun are the only breech loaded guns I can think of, and they aren't exactly derringers.

Standard C96 Mausers were not available in full auto, that was the C-96 model 712, which used a detachable magazine, and were only produced in very small numbers.

Full moon clips are not the same thing as speedloaders. Speedloaders release the rounds after they're loaded. Moon clips stay attached, and go in the gun with the rounds.

.45 Long Colt does not give "similar ballistics to magnum ammo." Standard .45 LC is more like .45 ACP. Low pressure, low velocity. There are some "Ruger only" loads that get pretty hot, but those will destroy a weaker gun.

Having the barrel on the bottom chamber will not make the gun recoil down. The bore axis is only moved down about as low as the bore axis on a Glock. The barrel would need to come out the bottom of the grip for the gun to recoil downwards.

Since when are deer "large game?" Large compared to a bunny, maybe.

A long barrel does not increase inherent accuracy. Actually, long barrels are inherently less accurate than a barrel that's identical in all respects other than length (up to a certain point), because of vibrations. About 1 to 3 inches is the "ideal" barrel length for pure accuracy, since that's all that's necessary to stabilize the bullet. Of course, velocity would suck.

P90s are prized only by weird people. The 5.7mm's penetration is "formidable" only when compared to pistols. Absolutely any real rifle blows it away.

MGLs typically do not use double action triggers. They're single action, with a spring powered clockwork type action rotating the cylinder immediately after a shot is fired. Usually, anyway.

Only some compensators have ports that point up only. It's very common for compensators to have holes all over the place. Most muzzle brakes for high powered rifles have ports that point directly to either side. It's a myth that the port direction makes any difference at all. Compensators reduce recoil mostly because of transferred momentum of propellant gas smacking into the leading edge of the compensator. Also, they can increase accuracy because gas is blown off to the side, instead of directly behind the bullet.

True double action only guns can fire if dropped, if they have no firing pin safety. Either inertial discharge by dropping barrel first (off a two story building), or discharge by dropping on the hammer, if it doesn't use an inertial firing pin.

Yeah, right, you could hit a zombie in the head with the first shot, because the gun's that accurate. I want a gun that's so good it'll make me actually shoot better. Also, if de-cocked, Berettas have about an 18 pound trigger pull for the first shot. That's 8.16 kilos, or 80 Newtons.

Since when are M4s not high stopping power? 5.56mm is great at close range, even from the short M4 barrel.

Recoil on AR-15/M-16 type pistols is extremely low. http://www.gunblast.com/images/Bushmaster-Pistol/Mvc-017F.jpg

"it's likele it also has a small rocket moto to help propel it." Dude, why do you think they're called rocket propelled grenade launchers?

"Hammer down speed?" What the hell? Just the type of hammer makes no difference to hammer velocity. Commander style "ring" hammers are not inherently lighter than standard hammers.
 
That link is full of pop-ups and a trojan (Gokar worm/web.exe). Bad form. Remind me never to click a link from a new member again...or at least not one from a so-called "free" hosting site. :banghead:
 
Alright, I'm in the process of revising it, and CONSTRUCTIVE criticism is appreciated, no one likes to be shouted at, and some of those articles were written years ago, before I was particularly knowledgable.

Lots of bad info. Tons, in fact. Every other sentence, almost, not counting the rampant use of "bullet," "clip," etc.

Which i got from other paces and but together and haven't had time to revise yet

I know

You already know what I'm going to say about this don't you?

This I didn't know at the time but thank you for bringing it up, it's things like this that help because due to geographical cause I have no PHYSICAL experience with firearms, and I'm trying not to be like the counter-strike kiddies who believe that that dealta force equip their members with desert eagles

This has been brought up before and I haven't got aroung to revisings it, thank you for reminding me


Since when are deer "large game?" Large compared to a bunny, maybe.

Since for reasons covered above, I neither hunt nor have any experience with hunting, and they do look kinda large aroung here where you get activists screaming down your ear is you hunt a bunny rabbit

This is advanced rifle physics, which I was not aware of, thank you for informing me


P90s are prized only by weird people. The 5.7mm's penetration is "formidable" only when compared to pistols. Absolutely any real rifle blows it away.

The fact that it has low weight, recoil, muzzle flash and sound compaired to most reifles has nothing to do with it's effectiveness as a pdw weapon among untrained personnel, how foolish of me, and I believe I alreay removed the P90

MGLs typically do not use double action triggers. They're single action, with a spring powered clockwork type action rotating the cylinder immediately after a shot is fired. Usually, anyway.

And I guess the hammer magically re-cocks itself then does it?

Again I wrote that before I was aware of that, uch of the information I have to dig through to find anything is writter by people who believe that could use a .50 caliber short carbine... as a back up

Recoil on AR-15/M-16 type pistols is extremely low. http://www.gunblast.com/images/Bushm...l/Mvc-017F.jpg

Again, thank you, I couldn't possibly know this myself


"it's likele it also has a small rocket moto to help propel it." Dude, why do you think they're called rocket propelled grenade launchers?

You think half the people who end up reading it even know why firearms go boom when the trigger is pulled? not everyone on the internet knows these thing, though I must admit if I made that typo it's unforgivable

"Hammer down speed?" What the hell? Just the type of hammer makes no difference to hammer velocity. Commander style "ring" hammers are not inherently lighter than standard hammers.

1. That what the official literature said, whether or not it was translated by someone in Tokyo
2. I guess all those custom race guns with the fancy hammers are just there to show of then huh?


Now regardless of my website's flaw it is the largest, and, as far as I can tell, Only, website of it's kind on the internet.

Well, that's good anyway. And physical experience isn't required to call the thing on .45 LC. .45 LC was originally designed as a black powder cartridge, and black powder pressures are very, very, very low compared to high powered smokeless cartridges.

Since for reasons covered above, I neither hunt nor have any experience with hunting, and they do look kinda large aroung here where you get activists screaming down your ear is you hunt a bunny rabbit

Well, the standard is that small game are the size of a small-medium dog or smaller, medium sized game are about the same weight as people, and large game are more like the size of a cow or horse. .454 Casull is really better suited for animals on the large size of medium. Though some people do use them for large game, just because.

The fact that it has low weight, recoil, muzzle flash and sound compaired to most reifles has nothing to do with it's effectiveness as a pdw weapon among untrained personnel, how foolish of me, and I believe I alreay removed the P90

Plain old pistols have low weight, recoil, etc., too. The good old Sten gun is a little heavy, but otherwise fits the bill. Same with the M3A1 Grease gun. Really, the 5.7mm cartridge has no place on the battlefield, and only a limited application in law enforcement. On the battlefield, the main types of armor are either light flak jacket type fragmentation armor (which a pistol bullet will usually go through), or heavy rifle armor, which will stop full powered, armor piercing rifle rounds.

And I guess the hammer magically re-cocks itself then does it?
Depends on the design. Some may use a double-action trigger (but still the clockwork cylinder rotator), some may use the spring power to re-cock the hammer. I'd check Milkor's site, but it's down. In any case, the mechanism isn't just like a revolver.

1. That what the official literature said, whether or not it was translated by someone in Tokyo
2. I guess all those custom race guns with the fancy hammers are just there to show of then huh?

1. The official literature is meant to sell you stuff, not actually inform you.
2. Pretty much. Race guns are a lot like "high performance" cars. You've got a few people that actually know what they're doing, and add on practical parts. The remaining 90% just throw on whatever has the coolest sounding advertisements. "Increases hammer down speed!" is up there with "cooler air is denser air!" (some kinda crazy air intake for cars that puts the intake below the engine, because hot air rises and cold air sinks) May actually be true in theory, but the actual difference is like 1%, if that. And the actual effect of the part is usually detrimental to functioning.

Also, the standard commander style hammer (which is pictured) weighs about the same as a standard spur hammer. It's actually those skeletonized, titanium, whatever, ultra-light hammers that are supposed to have a higher speed. What they actually do is cause light primer strikes, due to reduced mass.

Now regardless of my website's flaw it is the largest, and, as far as I can tell, Only, website of it's kind on the internet.

So you should really work on factual accuracy. You don't want to contribute more malinformation to those counterstrike kiddies, right? Try reading gun info on gun boards (with a huge bag of salt), maybe some online gun magazines (with all the salt from the Atlantic ocean), and maybe OEM websites (I.E., Colt's website instead of some aftermarket part maker's website; once again, with a hefty dose of salt), instead of product advertisements, and anime/video game/whatever boards. I'm suddenly reminded of this really bizarre anime that someone sent me a clip of, involving women bouncing cartridges off their breasts, into revolvers. :scrutiny: Do those people actually think that kind of thing is possible? :scrutiny: Definitely stay away from the anime boards for factual information about anything...
 
Seems to me like you forgot the difference between clips and magazines as well as bullets and cartridges.

Also, Grenadier was the anime you saw the clip from...other than the very hogey gun handling in the show...it wasn't all that bad...
