"Possibily" Stupid Fireams Quotes ?

[Gun Master]

I thought it might be fun to share some funny (possibly stupid) sayings we have heard (or might hear) about certain guns.

Here goes :
"I just bought me a 5 pound .22 LR pistol ! This is going to be my new CCW ! Now I guess I'll have to find a saddle maker for a holster" ? (Referring to the big, heavy, bulky Beretta ARX 160)

One of my favorites from years ago:

"I've got a Smith & Weston (sic) .38 Police Special. Man, that thing shoots hard!"


Bob Wright

 

[GBExpat]

".303British groups tighten up farther down range."

 

[WestKentucky]

5.56 must be pretty powerful for the army to swap from 30-06 to it.

 

[David E]

"I have a Schmidt & Western .308 pocket pistol...."

 

[Sam1911]

I once worked with a dude, the boss' son actually, who wasn't terribly well liked but had various reasons for liking to appear in charge and maybe a little more fringe and tough than he really was.

One day he came into work making a show of rubbing his right shoulder, swinging it around to "loosen up," and wincing. He very un-subtly let our urban-lib co-workers know that he'd spent the last day out shooting guns.

"Man, I put 300 rounds through my AR-15 yesterday. I'm so SORE!"

I about busted a gut laughing.

Cops....

I always wince when I see the clips from the long running "unscripted" series; Cops.
Several times, patrol officers, detectives or troopers would pull out a subject's pistol(a cheap .380acp or a poorly made 5/6 shot .38spl revolver) & say; "it's fully loaded with cop-killers ready to go".
Like all JHP or SWC-HP ammunition will somehow punch right thru a LE officer's vest.
Another gem is the old classic; "if a crook breaks in, shoot them then drag them inside & put a knife in their hands".

My late uncle(a decorated WWII veteran & cop show fan) told me a state police captain gave him this chestnut of advice.

I was at my local big box sporting goods store a few days ago and the guy at the gun counter tell a lady that " a 45acp recoils less than a 9mm". His reasoning was that a 9mm is faster.

"A guy in the gun store told me...."
"A cop told me...."

Neither of these end well or in truth - but are usually funny stories.

Possilbly Funny, But Not Stupid

"Never use 'Bang' and 'Oppps' in the same sentence"!

Excellent advise !

In the service I heard more than once that the Commie guns in 7.62x39 could use our 7.62x51 ammo.

One day when I was a mere PFC a Staff Sargeant ( a decorated Combat Infantryman) was going on about it to the point of claiming to have fired belted ammo for an M60 GPMG in an RPD while in Vietnam.

It just got to be too much so I pulled out my dog tag chain with my good luck piece on it......a live 7.62x39 I kept as a joke as it was the only one I felt I did not have to worry about. I asked the E6 how he managed to get 7.62 NATO in a chamber meant for this.

I only made him mad and made an enemy.

I did learn to let folks show themselves to be fools on their own and not to try to help them do so, but it was a costly lesson.

Glocks must be good they are used by the police.

 

[WestKentucky]

7.62 NATO has a wider bullet than a 7.62x39 which is why it's more powerful, ya know with the fatter bullet and such.

It works like so on deer so it will work the same on a person

If a 12 ga hurts so bad, people should be ashamed for starting a kid out on the bigger 20 ga

16 ga is worthless so they quit making it

I got a junk gun made by XYZ so all their guns are crap

Glock designed their pistol to go through metal detectors

Glocks are built to shoot on their side

Pretty much everything Bill Clinton, Barack Obama, or several other politicians have said

Gun control

NFA act

Magazine clip

Shoulder thing that goes up

Ghost gun

Revolvers are a thing of the past

 

[Hometeached1]

Just work the pump on a pump action shot gun and it will scare the crooks away.

Also, that a J-frame or subcompact Glock is as biggest handgun that anyone can concealed carry.

 

[WestKentucky]

A flashlight on the gun will not show a badguy where you are.

 

[Panzerschwein]

"Black powder revolvers are toys, you can't hurt anyone with them. That's why you can order them through the mail!" and other silliness.

 

[Mooseman]

Unload both shots out of your double barrel without aiming to frighten away the intruder. (paraphrased)

 

[wild cat mccane]

Anyone talking about pocket carrying anything larger than a LCP/TCP/P3AT.

 

[MedWheeler]

"Shoot to slidelock" (when executing a defensive shoot.)

 

[David E]

A flashlight on the gun will not show a badguy where you are.

That's true!

(If you don't turn on the light...)

 

[David E]

"Shoot to slidelock" (when executing a defensive shoot.)

Shoot two (doubletap) then assess....

[Fleetman]

"My .30-30 is my long-range go-to gun. All of my deer have been taken at 500 yards." (a co-worker told me and the lunch crowd this and with no holdover either....with iron sights!)

"A .50 BMG will vaporize a deer."

"Hit a person anywhere with a .45acp, and they will go down like a sack of rocks."

"Recoil is only a state of mind."

"My bullets rise two inches above the bore for about 100 yards and then start dropping." (this one came from a CCW instructor)

"I dip my bullet tips in grease for extra-high velocity." (target shooters of old used to do this....claimed better accuracy at least until the barrel burst from too much grease)

I love my handgun because it gives me false sense of security. It would be funny if it wasn't actually true.

"Just hit a man on his thumb with a .45, and it'll knock him down".

"Just hit a man on his thumb with a .45, and it'll knock him down".

My former associate took .45 slug to torso while at police range. He fell to the ground like being struck with sledgehammer. Thank God he was wearing his vest.
