Whom had the worst job?
The guys of beach or those who fall back in enemy lines?

Paratroopers, I´d say.
Apart from Omaha Beach, all the landings were quite quiet affairs I think. The bombers just missed their targets at Omaha, which is why the Americans had such a hard time there.

Why aren't model 3's more popular in cowboy action shooting? Like I see just a bunch of single action army clones as the most popular?
Why is .45 colt more popular than 44-40 winchester?
And lastly, why does no one make a Merwin & Hulbert repro?

The answer to both of these questions is the same: availability.
A decent SAA repro is cheap. A decent Model 3 repro is expensive. .45 Colt is readily found everywhere. .44-40 is not.

.45 Colt is significantly easier to reload. .44-40 is bottlenecked and relatively thin-walled at the top.
also fudds love them some .45 and some Colt
>>
Model 3's are more awkward to use and generally a reload is not required during a Single Action match, at least not under time. They are also significantly more expensive.
.45 Colt is easier/cheaper to reload and still a modern cartridge. .44-40 has been replaced by .44 special/magnum in all but CAS.
Nobody gives a hot gay fuck about M&H.

I have the impression the sherman is a little taller than the tiger.
Why did they rate the Tiger as a heavy tank and the sherman as a light tank?

Because the tiger is heavier?

Do you not see that the tiger is like 1.5 times as wide?

Get a Wheeler screwdriver set first, then some brass punches and a small ball peen hammer, then after that you can move on to to more specialized stuff.
Get a decent gun rest if you haven't already got one.

I own a SW Shield 9mm with the external safety for conceal carry (poorfag, but I digress). It's not my first gun but my first pistol.
I was hoping to read some thoughtful insight on if you personally should carry one round in the chamber with safety on or not while carrying.
On one hand, it would make me feel a little more assured on the cheaper gun that the safety wasn't the only thing potentially stopping a ND. But on the other hand, in a life or death situation, pulling down the safety and pulling back the slide could cost me valuable seconds.
What say you, /k/? and thank you in advance.

If you think you'll always have both your hands available in a life-or-death violent encounter, you're a moron. Carry chambered.
>>
>>33912935
chambered with safety on. if you practice drawing it won't slow you down and frankly it is safer than cocked and locked with nothing but a long trigger pull preventing a ND.
>>
all modern pistols have firing pin blocks. Gun don't go bang unless trigger pulled all the way back.

What firearm would be the best to fight a 6-12 month Civil war in the United States with? You don't have any access to repair tools, ammo is scarce and so on and so forth.

AR-15 because parts and ammo would be standard on both sides no matter who is fighting who.
