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...

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...

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

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?

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...

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...

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.

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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

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.

I don't actually have any weapons on me at all times; I attend college so weapons on campus is a quick trip to the Dean's office; Since the big thing at Georiga Tech even a can of Mace can get you tagged with the right parties. But I do bike around campus alot, since it's a big campus; I've...

I've a question related to this, just sort of offhand. I read that several government agencies had been using .357 SIG as their standard issue round; but is there any truth to this with the prevalence of .40 S&W with LEOs? The .357 Sig is one of those carts that intrigues me on it's concept...

I know I'm not the most up-and-up on gun laws, but the first thing that jumped to my mind was "Hey look, a legal 'Nebraska' Sawed-Off Shotgun." Nonetheless, the concept is a novel thing, but I'm not exactly sure the execution is all that great; at the ranges it's useful for the Shotgun; the .45...

I must say that's a rather pretty piece there. I do really like the mixture of modern technological advancements with the Old West feel, it's got a smooth aesthetic to it I like quite a bit. I'm not a perfect judge of every revolver in the world; what did this one begin life as? Looks a bit...

Thanks for all the replies, Lone Star and 44AMP in particular had some very good tips for a writer in this exact type of 'Low' fiction setting (Which is a term typically applied to 'Low Fantasy' such as Conan the Barbarian or Tarzan, the sort where the uber all-encompassing magics of Tolkien's...
