I have a republican uncle who is pro gun only because the party is. He's more of a closet anti. The first (and only) time I showed him one of my firearms, his hands shook like leaves the whole time he held it.
It was a Ruger MKII.
I think his problem was that he couldn't see it as...
Hey Boom Stick,
At the risk of becoming personna non grata in the UK, it sounds like it's time for a good shake-up over there. I know there's no constitutionally protected right over there to stand on, but flat out denying a person the right to defend himself seems downright totalitarian...
Airsoft seems made for deterring nuissance animals. I would definitely go that direction. The long haired hippy in me says it's better Karma if you can stop annoying behavior without causing harm. Not to mention the fact that your neighbors will probably like you more. Heck, they might even...
YES!!! I KNEW someone had thought of it before me! Now I don't feel half so bad for wanting to do something so, well,.................... OK it's a Darwin Award type thing. :D
I think I'm going to have to work up a paintball load one way or another. Cast foam sabot and all. It'll be...
It's a darn fine round. One whizzed past my head a couple weeks ago took a chunk out of a stone wall after going through a sandbag. When we checked the POO on the map, we figured it had traveled over a thousand yards. In the right rifle you can definitely reach out and touch someone with it. I...
I agree. Hence the title of the thread.
I started thinking about it based on the simunition model, but that has a lot of safety measures built into the hardware so you can't shoot a real bullet out of the gun when it's in sim mode. I think it would be too risky to do for any purpose other...
Thank you. You just took me to a really scary visual place. The whole duel thing would lose a bunch of its cool points if you had to wear the goofy camo mask on your head. I won't even mention what most of us would look like in late 18th century garb. :D
.62 cal potato slugs? :eek: That would be do-able though. For that matter, you could use bean-bags too.......or.....:uhoh: Everything's starting to look like a projectile now. :D
Im envisioning really tiny charges of FFFg. I like the idea of a foam wad. I'd been thinking about cardboard, but TP might work even better.
Now to find somebody that makes smaller paintballs. I know there are airsoft paint balls. THey might work really well in the cannon........:evil:
Naah, I've got a pair of flintlock navy pistols and I had this wild hair that says it would be cool to be able to challenge folks to pistols at 10 paces with paintball in stead of lead.
Question number 2: Does anyone make paintballs that would fit in a .62 cal smoothbore? I can't believe...
Has anyone tried shooting paint balls out of BP firearms? If so, what did you use for wadding, and do you think it could be regulated to small enough charges to be as safe as pneumatic paint ball guns?
I understand that this question flies grossly in the face of the entire concept of...
Logic 101:
If Most terrorists are Military aged Male Arabs(MAMA's):
Does it automatically follow that most MAMA's are terrorists?
NO.
And here's why: because you need to take into account what proportion of the total MAMA population is made up of terrorists. Given the number of...
Opinions:
I though the kid was the trigger man on most of them. I was decidedly unimpressed with their marksmanship, especially considering most shots turned out to be from under a hundred yards.
Facts:
I wouldn't want to get hit by a 5.56 anywhere.
Most of our guys hava a variety...
