Bench rest & shooting from a bench - what's the difference I'm not sure :S There is an outdoor long range shooting range somewhere in Sydney that I could take a trip to every now and then. Also I've never seen a revolver action rifle except in a display collection, which means it would have...

I'll start looking for a good .22 LR rifle/revolver combo. Maybe a few months down the track I'll get the .357 magnum rifle/revolver combo Thanks for all input everyone :D

I do indoor target shooting from the bench rest position, that's basically all I can do at the range. I got about AU$3,000 in the bank. Wasn't dreaming of spending that much lol but I'll have plenty of options. Also me and my friend go shooting together with his .22 and we take it in turns...

My main problem is that I've only shot two rifles, both were .22's. I've shot dozens of different handguns of various shapes and sized and found the ones I like. The range I shoot at has a lot of guns for sale on display, do you reckon they'd let me put a few rounds through some of them before I...

Yes, those sorts of rifles are available here. That actually sounds like a good idea: I can have a .357 magnum revolver and a lever action using the same bullets :D

Thanks for you suggestions guys! Most brands are available here but semi automatics are severely restricted, including pump action shotguns. Gun's I can get include: • break/bolt action rifles & shotguns • lever action rifles and shotguns • pump action rifles • handguns with barrel longer than...

Im thinking of buying a rifle in the next few months but I have no experience shooting rifles, so I don't really know what's a good rifle to get. I live in australia so it cannot be semi automatic, and I'd be using it for indoor target shooting at roughly 50 meters. My first thought was to...

Very nice gun pics guys. I'd like to see more pictures of FAL's, particularly close-ups's of the gas adjustment controls near the front sight. I was doing a bit of study on the FAL and was intrigued about the gas feature. The articles I've been reading dont give any pictures, so if anyone could...

I remeber watching starship troopers for the first time a few years ago. In the entire movie, each individual soldier must have put a few thousand rounds through their guns easy, but you only see one of them reload once... that bugs me :D And in another movie with Wesley Snipes, him and this...

Fascinating stuff, thank you guys :D also, mete, I'd like to learn more about these vibrations and how they influence accuracy, if you know a lot of detail about all that stuff. Thanks :)

I'm sure I initiated this thread earlier, but I think something went wrong and it never got out, so I'm just gonna make a new one :) Anyone who knows a thing or two about any rifled firearm knows about the lands and groove in the rifling. We all know that calibers are confusing. Is .30 cal...

The original concept of the carbine was effectively the weapon of a carabineer - which was like a knight in shining armour - but instead of using a lance, his primary weapon was a carbine. It was shorter that the usual arquebus or musket, probably because that'd make it easier to reload and...

Nice. I will be sure to remember the advice next time I go to the range. Last weekend I did a pistol saftey training course. It was necessary for me to do it in order to get my pistol license, and now I have a trainee permit for shooting at my local range. YAY! I've been putting it off for...

I probably should have read more before I initiated this thread The PDF I was reading where I found the target analysis explained later on what I was confused about...oops :D Terms like "heeling" the gun, "breaking' the wrist, I understand now what all that means. p.s. thanks for the...

Hi all I'm on my way to getting my pistol license (at long bloody last), and I was studying for safety and what not. I came across this picture of a target, and it was labelled "Target Analysis Guide". The concept is pretty straight forward. The target is divided into arcs to show why you...

hmmmmm... I'd go for a small SMG, maybe a scorpion vz.61. It's a .32 ACP, blowback operated, I've never even seen a real one with my own two eyes, but I'm thinking it'd have very little recoil. And it can be kept in a holster like a pistol. It's sometimes refered to as a machine pistol. Not...

Thanks for the support guys. No doubt, the biggest obstacle in changing the gun laws is changing the mindset of those who think these laws are reasonable. A while back, I started a little debate somewhere on this forum. Those who politely opposed my semi-anti-gun mindset changed my mind...

I have recently registered to become a member of the Sport Shooters Assosiation of Australian (SSAA), which is the first step to legally becoming a shooter in Australia. The Assossiation sends letters and gun magazines (books, not clips ;)) to their members. Lots of it is just junk mail, but...

Thanks guys. I don't know if people are still looking at this thread anymore, but I have some more questions, this time about the barrel length of a gun and how it affects recoil... I heard once that the shorter the barrel, the more recoil you'll feel. Is this right? If so, does that mean...

I'm familiar with how the direct gas impingment system works in AR's. Adding a piston to the mix would make it more reliable as the gas wouldn't contact the inside of the reciever and so you wouldn't have to clean that part as much... ...What if you put in a short-stroke piston? Would it be...
