Ask a gun owner something.

[Mathurin]

I am a gun owner and I think sometimes people dont know things about guns and want to.
So, ask away.


As this is a game forum I expect to receive lots of FPS gun related questions, thats fine but recognize that im not up on every single game, so if you are going to ask me if gun X from game Y is real, maybe post a link to a site describing it.

Also, im not really here to get involved in a gun control debate, if that is what you want to do then please PM me and I will link you to a political discussion forum with a gun control discussion board that I post on regularly. Or if you only want to engage me in such a discussion then we can do it through PMs.
I just dont want to clutter this post with that stuff.


So, go ahead, ask me anything and I will answer you to the best of my ability.

Can you hold your gun sideways out of a moving Cadillacs window and still hit the old lady across the street?

 

[MetalDooley]

Does firing a gun give you wood?

Seriously though why do you own a gun?Is it for hunting or self defence or a different reason?

Holding a gun sideways is a silly and inaccurate method of firing a firearm.
I cannot speak to anyone's accuracy in such a situation, I have never done anything similar to that.

Shooting at old ladies who are not threatening your life is illegal and immoral

Does firing a gun give you wood?

No, unless there are naked women nearby, but then its the naked women and not the firing of the gun that gives wood.

Though I suppose shooting at villagers and demanding wood would bring one wood.

 

[sidereal_day]

sort of guns you got?

 

[Caleb Banta]

what type of gun do you own

 

[JRCB]

Why do you personally own a firearm? And what kind?

Because it's a right and they are fun to shoot. I don't hunt so I guess out of your two options mostly just self defence .

Hmm... what do you think about revolvers for pure badassery?

How many times do you need to get shot in the head to think recruiting Conrad Verner as a spectre is a good idea?

All the above.
I live 10 miles from the nearest town, police response is 30 mins, calling the cops is not an option out here.

You can also call it a hobby of sorts, its great fun to practice shooting, its really very difficult to shoot accurately.

 

[Skuffyshootster]

How many people have you killed?

And don't lie, I know it's at least one.

 

[Mathurin]

wat if dat old lady was frontin hard and u gots to give her the business

This means absolutely nothing to me.

What gun(s) do you own?

I have about 12 or 13, though several are very esoteric guns which I never use, but which selling would gain little and I might need them again someday. (its like getting rid of that old console you dont play anymore)

My mainly useful firearms are

a semi-auto .22 for plinking (informal target practice)
2 semi-auto pistols, a small one for concealed carry when I decide to get a license, a larger one because its more accurate
a russian bolt action rifle from WWII for longer range target practice

Nothing wrong with revolvers, little thats more badass about them than any other firearm

None, unless you count wild animals or video game characters

How does one commit murder with a gun, without getting caught?

 

[enzilewulf]

Did you get it for fun or for protection...or did you get it for fun then just tell people you got it for protection....If you got it for security did you hear of brinks?....

 

[Optional Opinion]

How does one commit murder with a gun, without getting caught?

Join the army?

If you shot a gun horizontally from the earth and dropped a bullet at the same time/height which one would land first, if wind and curvature weren't an issue.

and... pictures of your guns please.

DO you hunt or collect?

Also why do bad cowboys always win?

 

[Zaksav91]

What is your favorite gun? Any gun it doesnt have to be one of your own.

 

[blipblop]
