Jesus Christ. What those guys are doing almost makes me physically queasy.

Anyway, is it just me or does the Beretta PX4 Storm look suspiciously like Deckard's handgun in Blade Runner?

besides being a little rough with the actions, i'm not sure how that is 'not how to handle a fire arm'

it is obvious it is a demo weapon and is empty so individuals could check out the device first hand. although i guess you're going to argue 'Don't point gun at person'

The gentleman points the weapon repeatedly at people in the crowd and the camera man. He places his finger on the trigger when he likely does not intend to fire it. One of the two stands in front of the muzzle more than once. They dry fire the weapon.

All of these things are either stupid from the perspective of taking care of a weapon or flagrant violation of the most basic firearm safety rules.

So wait, what are they doing wrong? I can see that they're being a careless, but that seems to be it.

EDIT: Ninja'd, ignore.

Not everyone knows its a demo weapon.
Acting like an idiot with a gun (real or fake) is not something to take lightly.
"Accidents" happen a lot, and when dealing with WEAPONS designed SPECIFICALLY to KILL, you really shouldn't take any chances by being reckless with the most basic rules.

Suou Pavlichenko presents "Tips for proper lubrication to ensure safe and proper functioning in your PTRD-41"
Step 1: Apply a liberal amount of oil-based lubricants to the head of the barrel.

Step 2: Use a well-rounded surface to evenly coat the lubricant across the length and circumference of the barrel shaft.

Step 3: It helps to have a complete knowledge of your weapon's surface. Practice additional lubrication with other body parts to test your knowledge.

Step 4: Finally, test the surface tension with a quick lick. It should be suitably oily and salty, not gummy.

I hope this has been helpful and you will remember to always properly maintain your PTRD-41.

Probably this. Although I've seen smaller, this one is deffinitly the most effect for it's size. You could easily make a smaller one, but it's usually an achievement to get them near 20 fps.
Douk said:

Definitly. Stickyriess posted a few pictures of a beautiful one in .410 back on the first page (7th post).
Douk said:

Because you can.

Although there isn't much of a point using a scope to shoot buckshot, many people attach scopes to their shotguns for hunting deer in states where using a rifle is prohibited. Of course, they use slugs (one solid bullet) rather then buck/birdshot (many small pellets).

In combat, a scoped shotgun is much like the Ka-Bar Pistol Bayonet, only alot less awesome.

I shot an M4, AK47, sig 552, tactical shotgun, and 4 more handguns that i cannot remember the names of. My cousin (who owns the guns) enforced the rules so well they just became engrained. Hes a great teacher.

The AK47 is very terrifying BTW

5.56 or 7.62 for an assault rifle?
As with many other things, it depends on the situation and your combat role.

5.56mm is a fairly good antipersonnel round. Recoil is generally light so that automatic fire is more controllable. Less weight also means being able to carry more ammunition. The primary benefit to this round is that it tends to stay within the body, curving as it strikes body tissue and ricocheting off of bone, rather than exiting. The downsides are lower first-shot accuracy at longer ranges, a lesser ability to defeat body armor, and poor anti-armor capability.

7.62mm is a much larger round with more powder in the cartridge. It can be considered a better front-line assault round, as it will more easily defeat body armor and armored vehicles as well as penetrate cover more effectively. It is also more accurate at longer ranges. The downsides are risks associated with overpenetration (causing damage to friendlies behind the target), waste of kinetic energy by the round passing through the target, and more powerful recoil during automatic fire.

That's always been my understanding of it at any rate.

One more? Can you put a shotgun type slug (explodes into lots of little balls) into a pistol sized weapon? Or is the knockback too much?

it is a Convention weapon though. it is by default empty, and the firing pin is removed. the weapon could not fire even if the individual holding the gun desperatly wanted it to. it is basically a law of gun conventions to have innert weapons on display as they are handled by several individuals with no capability to do background or security checks on whom ever feels like walking up to your display.

if this was at a field or range. yeah this is not to handle a weapon.
if you tinker with a weapon you do it mag-less.
you never put the finger on the trigger unless you intend to fire.
you never point the weapon at a person unless if you intend to kill.

but this is because at a range or field you have to treat the weapon as it is live as there is the possibility that it is live.

the current smallest rail gun in existance is the 32-megajoule Electro-Magnetic Laboratory Rail Gun which is mounted on an experimental destroyer. examples provided above are of a coil gun. not nessairally the same thing.

yes, shotguns can have revolving chambers. the Striker and Jackhammer shot guns are more modern (the second one a failed experimental) shotgun which has a revolving chamber.


Shotguns can be used to shot more than just buckshot. commonly used shots for a shotgun is also Solid slug ammo and Dart ammo which can reach considerable distances just as easily as a rifle, making the scope a worthy addition. also, you can sabot other ammo types into a shot gun more easily which further makes the addition of a scope a worth while investment.

Neither, 6.5 grendel has much better ballistics than both, the power of the 7.62 NATO and less recoil than a 5.56 NATO, best intermediate caliber EVER
left to right: 7.62 NATO, 6.5 Grendel and 5.56 NATO

striker and jackhammer are traditional semi auto action with a drum magazine (AA-12 takes drums too) I posted revolver action earlier in the thread

even with a weapon that is deactivated as far as you know you NEVER pull the shit they did, a mistake with a firearm can cost somebody their life, and you cant hit the reset button when someone dies.
you.
just.
don't.
fuck.

Yes, sir. Yes you can. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taurus_Judge]
its just too bad the Judge is a massive failure as anything but a snake gun (yes, killing snakes) everything the Judge does, a 9mm semi can do better, with more capacity.
anyways, ammunition like Douk described doesn't exist mass produced AFAIK, the judge is chambered for .410 Ga. traditional shotgun ammunition, it also fires .45 Long Colt
