top score so far goes to Heeman89 with a score of 8/25 or 32%

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.

Excellent thread. Pleasure to read from someone who really knows what they're talking about as opposed to 12 year olds who learned about weapons from Counterstrike or Call of Duty.

I've got a question for you that hopefully you can answer. I've used the Diemaco C7A1 & A2 (Colt M16 variant) for a few years, and as you know that entails stripping & cleaning it a lot. Last time I was doing this, as I stared into the trigger mechanism, I wondered: how the hell do three round burst settings work on rifles? I know how the automatic and repetitious modes work, but can't figure out how a burst would.

EDIT: I probably won't be able to check back for a bit. Could you quote this post so I can find it again quickly? Also, that's a hell of a list above. I can recognize a fair bit, but I can't name enough specifically to take the cake.

There's a rotating cam in the trigger mechanism that engages the disconnecter after 3 shots. The problem with it is that if you release the trigger after only 2-shots, you're only going to get 1 shot the next time you pull the trigger rather than 3. IMHO, it only adds a lot of unnecessary complication (and parts that can break) to the M16 trigger group and is one of the worst ideas the US Army ever came up with.

Do guns kill people... or do ninja pirate zombie robot vampires from outer space kill people?!

I need this information.

Quickly.

do the ninja pirate zombie robot vampires from outer space have guns?

 

[Idlemessiah]

Gun control in the UK annoys me at times.
Namely cause I now want a revolving shottie

How much of a badass would I look when firing a gold plated, blinged-up Desert Eagle on its side from the waist?

Wouldn't that screw up your arm? Not exactly sure I understand how you would fire a handgun from the waist unless it was holstered. Either way, the recoil will drive up your arm or into your leg.

Not to mention Desert Eagles have a frightening tendency to stovepipe without superb motion control.

Thanks, Counterstrike.

/has DE, chambered .357 for target shooting
//fun but impractical

That thing is just too damn huge.

OT: Justify the right to bear arms in the USA when the firearms murder rate is substantialy lower in countries where the average citizen cannot own a gun, and specifically handguns.

majorly simplified answer: If owning guns is a criminal act, law abiding citizens will not have them, the majority criminals however will not be stopped. Then, how do we defend ourselves in a threatening situation? I can go on if you want, thats just the one of the strongest points IMO.
*EDIT*
My most recent paper was actually about the firearms policies in america, and i can post excerpts if requested

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.

I think the last point is key.

And to answer AlexTheBucket I was talking to a judge yesterday and he said that most countries have constitutions (he was talking about how the UK doesn't have a constitution).

Examples of Nations where prohibition laws have or are working properly:
Nazi Germany
Communist China
North Korea

This might be a too broad question, but I wouldn't mind at least the general answer..

How close to the real deal are weapons in CS acting?
