My best would probably be my hunting rifle. I can hit a man-sized target consistantly at 500 yards all day long. I'm also fairly good at trap and sporting clays, so a 12 gauge would be good.

Noe.

It is all about risk mitigation. Those people saying "Well if everyone was armed. . ." are forgetting that it is actually quite rare for a concealed carry civilian to actually stop a crime not aimed at themselves. (off duty police are FAR more likely to.) Further, the 1 in 57 number...

Not exactly. . . When a bullet hits a target it sets up a shockwave that moves stuff around. It also creates a permanent wound channel and a temporary crush channel. (Oddly enough, bullet injuries are crush type injuries.) While crush injuries are ugly, they tend to seep rather than spurt...

I'll stick with my Remington 700 in 30.06. .3 MOA out to 300 yards. (Haven't got a range longer than that to test it on.) I have a Carl Zeiss variable power scope on it, and it is a dream to shoot. Thing is? Gets a bit boring 'cause you never miss.

How would a dead zombie get sugar to its muscles in order to keep moving? If most biological functions are shut down, piddly things like muscles and nerves would stop working. Further, one thing all "zombie" movies have is that zombies don't attack each other. If they did the story'd be...

Can't believe I'm the first to say "Nick Cage"

Soooo much bad information in this thread! It isn't "What car shouldn't exist" it is "what car don't you like?" The Smart, in europe at least, makes a lot of sense. Smaller, easier to maneuver, easier to park, and without all the 19million tons of american safety equipment, better gas...

I have to say that Morrowind was far from perfect when it shipped, but with the stability patches, fixed content patches, and graphical update patches from the community, it is damn close. Also: Homeworld & Cataclysm. Homeworld felt more epic, and was the original, but Cataclysm had better...

Hrrm. Star Control II Master of Magic MOO2 Alpha Centauri+SMAX Starflight 1&2 Dune 2 I like Sword of the Stars a lot, but there are just enough holes that I can't include it in the above list. With a little more thought: Wing Commander: Privateer, and actually virtually everything...

The nature of the equipment is "tool" Anything more than that is giving it mystical powers, which guns patently don't have. As I stated before, you are treating guns as a talisman, not as simple inert lumps of metal and composite plastic. That is a form of "Magical thinking" you know...

Which are happy to switch to knives and baseball bats, and have in areas they can't easily get guns. Fortunately collateral damage from knives and baseball bats tend to be less than from firearms. Some food for thought on the subject: One of the main problems with America's "Gun culture" is...

I am neither religious nor anti-religious. I have more space in my flat dedicated to my aquariums (I have appx 1k litres of aquariums) and books than I do to my arsenal. Raising tropical fish is hardly something you'd expect of someone in a "modern dungeon surrounded by instruments of pain and...

There are a couple issues in the "gun debate" that I think get glossed over. "Gun Grabbers" as the pro-gun people like to call the antis, generally tend to lump all gun owners together rather than looking at the risk factors. You are far more likely to be shot with certain classes of...
