    Decibel loudness comparison of various guns?

    Hey guys, Over the years, I have seen lots of people make casual mentions of how some specific guns are much louder or quieter than each other, depending on the model. For example, I have seen a lot of people say that the absolute loudest gun they've ever shot was some specific model of...

    Where can I see/learn/research about older models of revolvers, by year of model?

    Hey everyone, So, basically I like the look of the more old fashioned "skinny barrel" revolvers, the way they used to look a few decades ago (the ones that look more "cowboy" style rather than "tactical") The problem is, I am only 25 years old, and worse still, I have only just recently become...

    Quick question about a knife sharpener I got from Turner's yesterday

    So I was browsing guns at Turner's Outdoorsman yesterday and ended up picking up a cheap knife sharpener on my way out. Those of you who shop/browse there a lot might even know or have the one I"m talking about. It's by Lansky, and it's a small, red, two-sided sharpener that has both a...

    Is .38 special recoil from a gp100/sw686 similar to 9mm recoil from a glock/xd?

    I heard that semi-auto pistols generally have a slightly lessened recoil as a result of their slides getting blown back by the recoil as part of the action, which absorbs some of the kick, with all else being equal (like, if you were comparing a revolver vs a semi-auto pistol and the lb/ft force...

    Why are ruger/s&w revolvers almost always .38/.357mag/.44mag and not 9mm or .45?

    Hey guys, So, a little background first, just so y'all don't get too mad at me for being kind of a n00b lol (if you are impatient though you can skip down to the bottom where I ask about the ammo thing for revolvers compared to auto pistols, no worries): So, I have a couple of bolt action...

    WASR-10 Ak-47 magazine release issue/abnormality?

    I recently bought a WASR-10 ak-47. When I look at pictures of other people's WASR-10 ak's on the internet, the magazine release trigger shaped thingie between the back of the magazine and the front of the trigger guard is just sitting there out in the wide open air, easily accessible with...

    What exactly keeps the Glock's (or similar pistols) barrel in place during firing?

    Although I have a lot of experience with bolt action rifles, I know very little about pistols. Since I am thinking of buying a Glock pistol or something similar to it at some point in the near future, I was browsing some youtube videos to see how to field strip various semi-auto pistols, to...

    I just bought a WASR AK. Any tips I should know so I don't blow myself up with it?

    Hey guys. Like most guys of my generation (I'm 24) who grew up playing 1st person shooter video games, ever since I was a kid, I always dreamt of owning my very own AK-47 (lol, corny/retarded, I know, I know). So, when I saw that Turner's had WASR ak's on sale this week, and my friends...

    What's your favorite cheap military service rifle clone/replica of any kind?

    This isn't just limited to the civilian versions of U.S. military service rifles, but also all other countries' ones too. So, for example, the semi-auto AK-47 clone/replica things that are civilian legal and only cost like $500 or whatever would be one example of the types of guns I am...

    Buying a fully automatic gun in the U.S.

    Hey guys, Recently, I have had the good fortune of having cash to mess around with, and, so far the only guns I have are a couple of single shot rifles from about 12 or 13 years ago, and a cheap ruger .22 semi auto pistol that I picked up on a whim a couple years ago, and that's it. So, of...

    Where can I find shot group accuracy charts for .223 vs .308 for 100m, 200m, 300m etc

    Well, first of all I guess I should say hello, and introduce myself, since this is my first post on here. I'll put my introduction of myself and my current experience with guns and shooting in italics, so, those of you who aren't in the mood to read that stuff can just skip down to where it's...
