Poll: Firearms F.A.Q. IRL Edition (read first post if you are entering thread for the first time)

[Stickyreiss]

I don't even know what to say, you have some of the most convoluted logic I've seen, it's late at night, I've been studying for finals all week, and I am too tired to continue this. It is my choice to concealed carry (I don't now, but might after I graduate) and It is your choice not to. lets leave it at that.

actually it's not convoluted at all.

here's how it works

if you are aware of your situation, you stay away from bad places and out of trouble, you'd have no need to have "protection" as you'd never be in danger. by that piece of logic you no longer need a gun for "protection"

pretty simple logic really

eh
I just got finished with a research paper, and was starting on a physics project, my brain was broked

UPDATE: The answer key will be made available to anyone (that i trust) who is out of tries or wants to forfeit the tries they have left, submitted attempts will still be valid

top score so far goes to Koeryn with a score of 14/25 or 56%

EDIT: the Musket pistol must be identified by the action
EDIT: upon further inspection the first one is actually incredibly difficult. there is one telltale sign however.
EDIT: 3 Attempts, the best of which will be counted

Hmm, so if there were battles that theoretically took place in space, full vacuum with no planetary gravity well to speak of, wouldn't the idea of a sniper rifle become little more than a gun that just shoots bigger bullets, since aside from the accuracy of a gun, theoretically any rifle or even a pistol (yeah right) could have huge firing distance..?

Yes, the bullets would travel pretty much forever with no significant deviation in velocity. The problem is that you still have to hit whatever you're aiming at, so a sniper rifle with a scope would still be more accurate for the same reason it's more accurate on Earth, because you can see what you're aiming at better. On the other hand, in space, pretty much any hit would be fatal. The blood from wounds would be literally sucked out along with the air from the suit. So unless the person got a suit patch on in seconds, he would be dead.

Another inquiry, what's the most dangerous thing ever happened to you with firearms?

Military training, a full day at a firing range with our service rifles (SAKO Rk-95 Tp [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rk_95_Tp]) when one utter idiot managed to turn around with his loaded rifle (live ammo of course) and almost point to the rest of us because..... well, we never were too clear on what he was thinking. Me, and my friend on the other side, we managed to react fast enough.

Engage safety, put our own guns down on the mat (pointing towards the targets) and grab the weapon of the guy about to put 20+ guys into potentially mortal danger. Luckily, the instructors had seen it as well, calling for a halt and running towards us.

The guy who we disarmed.... we don't know what came over him. He was just messed up, like if he was on drugs, or sleepwalking or something. He was under no medication, the MPs who came to the scene with drug dogs proclaimed him clean (pending a blood test, which would have had to come back clean as he was not discharged) and he wasn't in fever either.

Nevertheless, we never again saw him in the firing range. He had been forced (well, coerced, as no one can strictly legally speaking force that decision) into switching to weaponless service.

The rest of us, we were damned glad. After over 3 weeks of cold-practice and gun safety training and excersices, he really should have known better.

I think I've heard of something like that happening more than once. Some guys just aren't compatible with firearms.
When and where did you serve? I was in Parola, 99-01. BTW RK-95 is the best. EVER.

I'm going to take a random stab in the dark but is #1 the AK101?

I might can get a better pic for you in few minutes, It's not mine its my dads so I need his permission

Woah... that barrel is...
Woah.
I don't think I've ever seen a firearm with that long of a barrel.
Is that even practical?

And on a light note, I now feel I can fully love the Escapist now.
Mainly because we now have a reasonable discussion about firearms now.

yeah its practical. it has the barrel for duck hunting I believe. I've shot it before. Kicks like a mule, but it gets the job done I assure you.

I agree, some people should never be handed a working gun and live ammo. And I served in Vekara, 04-05.

And I agree, Rk 95 is extremely good. Rk 62 wasn't bad either (had a chance to use it for a few weeks), but 95 is just so much better. SAKO really did good work on that one.

7.7 mm? Maybe? I have no idea what that is.

Let the police handle it, and its better that less people die then that more people will feel safe with owning gun for threatening situations.

from http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2004/may/10/20040510-122711-8996r/

The statistics, contained in the department's fiscal 2005 budget performance report, show that the average response time for the highest-priority calls -- Priority 1 -- was 8 minutes, 25 seconds in fiscal 2003, up from 7 minutes, 19 seconds in fiscal 2002 and 7 minutes, 47 seconds in fiscal 2001.

think about what an intruder in your home, or a mugger on the streets can accomplish in 7 minutes. A weapon takes seconds to draw.

That argument comes up a lot, and I always think that it is very unlikely that the ordinary citizen would be able to effectively defend himself or herself when faced with a criminal with a gun, AND if the country's prohibition laws work properly, the average criminal will either not have access to a gun or would not use the gun to rob an ordinary citizen.

heroin is highly illegal right? most people who use it aren't exactly MENSA status, yet they can circumvent the system. I'm unable to find a real statistic, but I would estimate that just the sight of a gun drawn on them will cause most street criminals (the most common varieties) will flee. And in 47-49 states a CCW license is required to carry, and CCW permits require a class on self defense from a certified instructor.

... and God, I fucking hate guns.
I can understand why people like them: they are designed so they look good, they're manly, and owning one gives you some sense of safety and power.
But then again, they're all for the same purpose: to kill. Usually another human. Which means that whatever fucking argument you try to bring, is pointless and a waste of time. Don't even try.

So why did you take the time to post on what is obviously a pro-gun forum? I respect your opinion but I'm confused as to why you would need to post here.

If I remember right, as long as it doesn't hurt others, I can do whatever I want to do.

 

[hittite]

fair enough

 

[RabidusUnus]

Without an atmosphere to evenly spread heat, the guns would freeze and sieze up when not in direct sunlight, and they would overheat and seize up when in direct sunlight. A space firefight wouldn't last more than a few seconds before it became a space fistfight.

 

[ElTigreSantiago]

I am a fellow firearms enthusiast and/or expert. I just think that videogames portray guns in such a terrible way that it's funny. Call of Duty is the worst offender, putting a silencer on anything that fires projectiles, guns with no recoil, and shotguns with a 20 foot range. And I can personally guarentee you, if you get hit ANYWHERE with a sniper firing .50 BMG, you will not be one piece anymore. And you can't just fire that thing from your shoulder with no recoil. Same with the Desert Eagle. A pistol firing .50 Action Express doesn't make for an accurate high rate of fire.

But whatever, Call of Duty. You can stick with your auto-turrets and heart beat monitors.
