Revolvers, Autoloaders and the BRAIN....

[Confederate]

A number of you may have seen this, but proceed anyway.

I'm curious to see if there's any sort of correlation between what people see (below) and what they prefer in the way of handguns.

In the animated GIF, you will see the image of a young woman rotating clockwise, counterclockwise, or you'll see her go first one say, then the other.



Please do the following:

1. State which way you see the woman rotating.
2. State your preference for revolvers or autoloaders.
3. Do you prefer single action or double action?

There may be no correlation whatsoever, but this is a brain test and it may tell us something!

 

[belus]

Counter clockwise (I can't even force myself to see it the other way)
I generally prefer single action auto loaders.

 

[MrBorland]

Counter clockwise (I can't even force myself to see it the other way)
I generally prefer single action auto loaders.

Are you serious?! I can only see her rotating clockwise. I can't make myself see her any other way. Oh, and I prefer DA revolvers. So far, it's a pretty strong correlation, LOL! I tend to think you'll need an N>2 for any stats, though. I'm gonna keep an eye on this thread. Could be interesting.

CW
SA Auto

Leftie,
right eye dom.

 

[wuluf]

counterclockwise, then clockwise! I like both revolvers and autos and prefer double action revolvers to single action

 

[easyrider604]

Clockwise

DA Revolvers

This is a gag, isn't it?

 

[MrBorland]

Maybe also whether you're a left or right handed and which you shoot with, and which eye is dominant. I'm a leftie, right eye dominant, and shoot rightie.

 

[John828]

CCW
SA Autos

 

[3KillerBs]

Clockwise. Semi-auto.

Right handed and right-eye dominant.

 

[Jorg Nysgerrig]

Eh, this is nothing more than an optical illusion. It has nothing to do with any sort of brain function beyond that.

 

[jhco]

didnt spin either way for me but might just be my computer oh and i like da/sa autos

 

[lee n. field]

counterclockwise.

Preference for autoloaders.

Mild preference (looking at what I have) for DA/SA autoloaders.

 

[Wheeler44]

Goes both ways for me
double action revolvers please, but I wouldn't mind a good 1911

 

[loneviking]

Clockwise, then counterclockwise. I use a DA Colt revolver and prefer revolvers.

 

[xring44]

Counter clockwise, then she stopped and winked at me....I like double action revolvers and 1911s

 

[Eightball]

1. State which way you see the woman rotating.
2. State your preference for revolvers or autoloaders.
3. Do you prefer single action or double action?

At first I saw it CCW, now I can only see is CW.

Revolvers, DA.

 

[Jason_G]

CCW.
I like both, but lean more towards autos, SAO or DA/SA.

ETA: When are you going to turn the lights on in that little box?!

 

[robmkivseries70]

Interesting, I am positively Left eye dominate. With reference to the clock being on the floor with my left eye she goes CW. Your eye is divided into left and right halves, so it might depend upon viewing angle.
Best,
Rob

at first I see her counterclockwise, but if I force myself, I can make her change directions.

 

[Confederate]

Okay, this has nothing to do with left/right eye dominant. It has to do with left/right brain dominant. If you see it going CCW, you're left-brained, analytical and tend to see the parts of a problem. If you're right-brained, you tend to be more creative, imaginative and you see problems as a whole.

I'm not making any claims myself, but those came with the picture.

And I assure you, the image does go either way. Some have thought I was pulling their legs, but right-brained people apparently see the spatial suggestions of this 2D photo one way, whilst the left-brained people see it just the opposite.

I can switch it at will. Some people use this image as a brain exercise.

So far I see no strong correlation, but do continue!

Right Eye Dominant

Strictly Clockwise

Primarily SA Semi-Autos

 

[the naked prophet]

Strictly clockwise.

I prefer semiautomatics for carry, but I love shooting double action revolvers for fun. I wouldn't hesitate to carry a revolver, I just can't reason why I'd carry a gun the same size with less than half the ammo that takes longer to reload. I guess you could say I love revolvers, but carry semiautomatics.

 

[The Bushmaster]

Clockwise and I have an affection toward Colt SAA's. Left or right eye dominant, but have worked to gain only right eye dominant.

 

[RecoilRob]

CW or CCW depends on your point of view, doesn't it? As you are seeing her directly from the side, YOU must decide if she is standing on the clock, or revolving under it.

Or, you guys have crappy video cards and monitors. Cannot imagine her spinning in both directions unless your video is glitching.

So, for me, she is standing on the clock and is rotating CW. My preference goes to guns that function properly. All types are welcome in my safe.
