Boomstick's and shooty shooty bang bang's - The GUN Thread!

I believe the average musketeer can outshoot that. . .

There seems to be literally nothing at all providing projectile stability but raw inertia. It is literally blunt metal rods, with a laser sight bolted on. With sod-all ability to zero it. It's a significant achievement because it's *usable*, even if it isn't *good*.

Like the guy in the video, the metaphorical grandchildren of the gun will be the real deal. If war in Ukraine doesn't start a ww3

This guy was good ...



That's 4 rounds per minute with a flintlock and about as fast as someone can fire a muzzle loading musket.

 

[ShadowArxxy]

Three to four rounds a minute was the *standard expectation* for skilled Redcoats. . . by the entire unit.

True.

The Redcoats were good.

I carry a 9mm. I recently realized that the majority of my ammo stock is ...25+ years old.
And some moisture had accessed the ammo can.
So I have a lot of green ammo that I will be turning into noise this weekend.

Point: Requesting recommendations for best 9mm carry duty ammo.
I was carrying Winchester Black Talons in 147grn. I cannot find a resupply.
Yes. Price is an issue. I'm not paying $2-$3 per round.

Ranger SXT might be pretty close to a Black Talon in terms of performance.

i don't realy go "what is best" type answers on this kind of question.
but you can look at what luckygunner.com has available and take a gander at their gel test results.
you should be able to find some good stuff for less than $1 per

Does Texas have limits to legally resident foreigners owning firearms for self defense?

Not sure, I would probably find a lawyer for that. I think legal foreign residents can own guns, but I wouldn't risk it.

They can, but yeah, consult with a lawyer first to make sure all the i's are dotted and the t's are crossed because you'll get deported if they're not.

I use Federal Premium HST, I think they're about 1.40 a round. I've heard Hornady critical duty rounds are comparable in performance and price.

Awesome! thank you... this was exactly the type of data I was looking for. <thumbsUP>

.... and of course, they're sold out of pretty much everything.

Here's a pretty nice Italian pistol that I hope makes over here to the states:

Black Talons were always terribly overrated. My recommended go-tos are Federal Hydra-Shok and Hornady TAP-FPD, but really, any quality non-gimmick hollowpoint is on tier these days.

you can now be slightly less jealous of the toys available to Americans.

[bintananth]

How the fuck do you actually aim that bit of complete nonsense?

 

[Captain X]

It's not mine.

 

[bintananth]

It's not mine.

Of course it's not because you aren't stupid and, IIRC, you do have military training.
