What about a lowspeed gun story?

[Checkman]

Okay six years after starting this thread I have finally gotten around to reading a few of the Matt Helm novels. They're pretty good actually. And while he is the hero Helm isn't flawless and he makes mistakes.

He also uses a S&W Model 49 or Model 40 more than anything else. Once in awhile he'll grab a plain jane scoped bolt action hunting rifle or a 12 gauge pump action riot-gun. He does not have a limitless supply of hi-tech firearms. I'm sure that this is more of a reflection of the time that the books were written, but it is refreshing.

Thanks for the heads up. Now I'm looking for others at the local second-hand stores. They're fun.

Faster. The rock uses a revolver, killer has semi autos.

Yea a Great movie. Regular Metro sexual guys with old guns attempt to save the day but lose because the opposition has modern high efficiency weapons.

The winners enslave the losers in re education camps were they learn how silly they were for not keeping up with modern technology.
The classes show how the American Indians were perhaps far better at war than the Europeans, but, their bow and arrows just didn't have the stopping power of a .69 cal musket.
The above slaves escape, and use their new found knowledge to acquire new weapons.....but when they requested NEF guns from their under ground contact they got Nerf guns. Not realizing the difference they again engaged the enemy and were again defeated.
No prison camps this time, in fact these guys were put in charge of the re education camp.

IDK in these parts I see far more 'tactical' firearms than ordinary ones, here you're more likely to see a AK, AR or other 'black rifle' than an ol 30-06 or a savage and stevens etc. Most shotgun are 'tactical' too here

they're not set in the 21st century, and most are set in the 19th, but, one of my favorites: Lois L'Amour!

Alas, Babylon by Pat Frank meets the criteria for sure
its about a post apocalyptic semi rural community in Central Florida, that bands together to survive after a nuclear war
has the low key gun usage to satisfy your requirements (young boy uses a 20 ga to defend thier crops, neighborhood militia armed with war bringbacks M16 and Krag rifle, home cut down shotties, and old pistols etc...)

even without the guns, its a killer read
