    Would a .44 mag travel 300 yards and kill?

    Ok, So that's a specific round, yeah? Still, we've got the question of what kind of wall that is. My apartment itself is pretty solid, brickwork over concrete; with the typical drywall and aluminum siding. I wouldn't expect it to stop a high-powered round, but I wouldn't expect that same round...

    Would a .44 mag travel 300 yards and kill?

    I wouldn't count my chickens until they release the exact gun. I'm not doubting the .44's power on this, but depending on the kind of wall it has, at 300 yards I'd be starting to doubt on it's through and through trajectory; .44 is powerful, not doubt, stupidly powerful: but it's not built the...

    ______ gun ever?

    I'm going to say the most over-hyped weapon ever is the Desert Eagle. Used by every movie toughguy for shiny and bing.

    Top Five Submachine Guns

    Trying swinging that extra 11" or so around inside a Tank Cabin, or the back-seat of a fully-loaded medivac Humvee and then rethink what you've said. The P90 was primarily design as a PDW for vehicle crews, but also proved just as effective for SpecOps working in heavily urban areas. Think...

    Good Jehoozists Al; happen to have friends in the SPETZNAZ by chance?

    The Webley Mk. IV Revolver - A writer's Query.

    Just a quick note to Lone Star; Low Fantasy denotes different from High Fantasy based on subject matter. Tarzan and Conan are Low Fantasy due to the more earthy, brutal subject matter, while Tolkien is the archetypical High Fantasy due to the level of pristine 'Perfection' and attribution to...

    Top Five Submachine Guns

    Hardly the same approximate size. 19 inches compared to 27 inches in length is a significant difference in exchange for loss of magazine size, as well as the addition of indeed, true 'bulk' from the standard 5.56 NATO magazine and the height that feed mechanism. The F2000 and the P90 both...

    Top Five Submachine Guns

    Clearly someone needs to read up on the FN P-90; and it's signature SS190 cartridge, then re-evaluate their position on 'Bulky' or 'Weak' SMGs.

    Let's educate Mitt Romney about Assault Weapons Bans

    I'm surprised nobody's bothered to email him the fact and figures that state that more then 70% of gun-related violent crimes are done with small-frame automatic pistols in calibers smaller then .45. Afterall, it's rather hard to stuff a SKS or AR-15 with Bayonet lug and Pictnanny rail into...

    This is for everybody who continues to insist that anyone in their home is a threat

    Jesus. You'd think people would learn. I'd give a shiny new england nickel to know what the hell was going on with the 'Burgler's mind that made him think that was a bright idea. I'm throwing in my lot with the consensus; act stupid and expect to be rewarded as such. I mean; just never a good...

    Is .40 S&W on the way out?

    Spiffy, Thanks Finalizer. The .357 SIG cart caught my eye for the concept of .357 Magnum in an automatic; before you had to hunt down a Coonan .357 for the same thing. Not that I'd mind having a Coonan, no siree...

    Newbie: best grips for 357 security six

    While everyone here is going to recommend specific models; bear in mind you should definitely try a couple to see what kind of shape feels good. If you've got a buddy or a friend at the local gunshop who've got some re-gripped Speed Sixes; pick em up and get a feel for the grips, see what rubs...

    Which is a better pistol make

    I'll vote for Smith and Wesson as well, simply because they're a classic. I think everyone should own or have fired a M29 at some point in their life; good enough for Dirty Harry, after all. However there's a difference in preference, I like Sig and Springfield better then Glock, but I dislike...

    Phasers On Stun

    A gun's a gun. Phaser's on stun when they live through being shot.

    Looking for a nice knife

    I'll second both the Cold Steel and the KABAR. I've had a chance to use both, and damn near chopped off my finger with the KABAR. Solid, durable knives, good feel in the hand too.
