Ask a gun owner something.

[gbemery]

have you ever come across a gun that shoots shurikens and lightning?

 

[Indecizion]

um yeah is it worth it? ive been thinking about getting a gun liscence and a pistol for the last few years and just never got around to it and now im rethinking it after moving to london but yeah is it worth the hassle?

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

As a hypothetical?

The same way one commits murder with any implement without getting caught.
Do it to a complete stranger, then dispose of the weapon completely, and never do it again in the same fashion.

Most murders are committed for a reason, that reason above all else is what ties the murderer to the victim.

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....

Both, they are not mutually exclusive

If you got it for security did you hear of brinks?....

Yeah I have, the cops are 30 mins away, brinks wont do anything for me.
Out here in the woods we have dogs and guns, and amazingly little crime.

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

REAAAAALLLY tough call, just as in games guns are highly specialized, so its hard to pin down one single one.

Probably a battle rifle, like the M-14

Though the FN FAL is pretty damned nice

And i really like P90s

how accurat is a grenade launcher if you would want to get rid of those pesty little squirrels in your backyard???

I dont have a grenade launcher nor have I ever fired one, they are not firearms, they are classified as "destructive devices" and require extensive licensing and taxation, so I cant answer this question.

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.

Exactly how qualified are you to do this topic? Just wondering.
Like did you inherit your grandpa's .22 or do you target shoot, hunt, etc. things like that?

 

[Mathurin]

have you ever come across a gun that shoots shurikens and lightning?

No, but I have fired guns that are awesome

um yeah is it worth it? ive been thinking about getting a gun liscence and a pistol for the last few years and just never got around to it and now im rethinking it after moving to london but yeah is it worth the hassle?

I really dont know, I live in Kansas, in the US, and we dont have to have licenses to own firearms.
Your best bet would be going to a shooting range and talking to local gun owners.

I dont know everything about England gun laws, but I am pretty sure you cant get a pistol at all.

Have you or any of your aquintances ever suffered a case of Glock Wall?

If so what were the consequences and was said outbreak actually caused by a Glock?

Uhm right, hypothetically... *shifty eyes*

 

[Latinidiot]

aren't you afraid that you'll one day have to use it and kill a man?

 

[Chicago Ted]

Does having a gun instill a sense of safety at the thought of a possible zombie apocalypse?

I do not target shoot competitively (as in I dont go to matches) but I have purchased several of my own firearms, and fired a large variety of firearms. I know a good amount about firearms history and firearms law.

I have hunted, but dont do so religiously


If you have a question and I dont know the answer then I will tell you that I dont.

I dont know what a "glock wall" is, could you be more specific?

 

[XJ-0461]

How do you reload a handgun? It can't be as simple as pulling out the magazine and sticking a new one in.

 

[HaraDaya]

I'm kinda disappointed in all the "joke" posts already in this thread. Felt like I wasn't on The Escapist for a moment.

I'm a bit of a gun nut myself, but sadly I don't have much experience being from Denmark and all. Firearms are not allowed. You can get a hunting permit but that only allows hunting rifles or whatever. No sidearms.
I did fire an M4 in the army though.
I would like to see pictures of your collection too. I love esoteric/weird firearms.

 

[Shurikens and Lightning]

What does "zeroing in" mean when you are adjusting a scope?

 

[Mathurin]

aren't you afraid that you'll one day have to use it and kill a man?

No, I would be more worried that someday I might need to defend my life someday and have nothing but a baseball bat.

Does having a gun instill a sense of safety at the thought of a possible zombie apocalypse?

Yes, zombie apocalypse would be fun for most gun owners, at least the slow kind of zombies.

 

[Alphavillain]

I'm sure you get asked this all the time, but do you give your guns names? If so, are they guy names or girl names? I always think a gun should have a nice short, curt name, like Sean, although I'm quite partial to Louise. The obvious choice would be Bonnie and Clyde for a matching pair.

I'm not sure on the protocol of calling a very phallic object a man's name other than one's own, unless gun owners call their pieces by the nnames they give to their penises. And I don't really want to dwell on that.

What's with all the guns?

 

[Cryo84R]

How many people have you killed?

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

Lot's but never with a gun. No not my bare hands either!

What's with all the gun hate people? Guns are a useful tool. My wife knows her way around one almost better than I do and we keep a couple around for home defense. Why is that so terrible?

 

[Mathurin]

What does "zeroing in" mean when you are adjusting a scope?

It means making the crosshairs match approximately the point of impact of the bullet.

In a way its like a game, you must install it on your computer, then you must adjust the graphics.
