Hey /k/, part of a writing group and in writing up an assassination scene. I had this idea for this group to use Wadcutter rounds at point blank range. Seemed interesting to me but thinking about it I'm not sure if a wadcutter would have enough force and power to effectively kill someone or at least not as effectively as other bullets. The only redeeming factor I could think of is using overpressured rounds hand loaded from scrape shells in order to avoid any sort of forensic bullshittery from linking my character to the attack.

Am I being autistic /k/? Or am I just over m thinking all of this? Should I just go with something like .327 or .357 and avoid all the handliading bullshit here? Or is this possible in a realistic setting?

I used to do volunteer work with the police chief of a large suburban city. We used to talk a lot about what he did as a rookie, and one of the subjects was the sort of firearms he carried. Apparently, back before hollow point bullets were a thing many cops carried wadcutters.

I'm not sure what the justification was (memory is a little hazy), but professional LEOs did carry them at one point; that's a point in favor of your proposed narrative.

Well, I don't like the large crossbreed style because My pants don't seem to want to stay up when I wear them.
I don't like pancake holsters or OWB because they don't conceal as well.
I do look like the desantis insider because it's just like yours but sits lower.

Some dudes like skinny girls, some like curvy girls, some like redheads, some like short blonde hair, some like long double french braid brunettes, some like their girls with penises

what if you use your gun and then need to reseal it?

I want to buy a double barrel shotgun. SxS, O/U, I'm ok with either. I'd love a pump down the road, I'm just new to gunz, have very little experience shooting shotties- and what experience I have I fucking LOVE it. I wanna buy used and a double because I like going hunting small game in the woods, don't have a ton of money, and a double seems like a cheap/robust/hyper-shtf option, and a pellet gun suck (outside very still hunting), probly will buy a pump down the road just don't wanna worry about it now cuz I haven't made up my mind/ can't afford anything decent anyways..

Where's the best place- new or used- to get a shotty for my purposes? Where should I look if used is best (pawn/gunbroker/show)? What should I look for? Bear in mind I'm not looking for anything remotely fancy, just something to blam squirrels and eat them.

stoeger double defender,if you want to go more traditional they make hammerless and hammer coach guns,as well as long double barrels.prices range from about $450 to $1,000 depending on what you want
>>
You can check a pawn shop or gun shop if you'd like. Look for something with a break action that locks up tight, with a clear intact barrel with minimal pitting. Look out for cracks, bulges, or dents. All are bad news. The rest of the gun should be in good well-taken-care-of condition, with no structural cracks in the stock. Make sure the barrels dont wiggle

New double barreled shotguns are expensive. If you are shooting squirrels you may be fine with a single-barrel.

check your local laws about shooting and eating squirrels. There is likely a season.
>>
>>32996309

just go to local gun store or nearest Cabelas, Bass Pro, or Gander Mtn and check out the used racks.

you hvent given us a price range, so idk...my experience with o/us ranges from ~$600 to over $25,000 but because I shoot clays competitively and get to shoot a lot of other peoples' guns.

mossbergs silver reserve and ruger's red label are considered bare minimum for an o/u for clays, but at that level id recommend a semi auto. But you said youre just gonna blam squirrels so just go check out any used no name scatter gats.

make sure the lock is as tight as can be. Trigger should be fairly stiff as well and have crisp reset.

worn out springs have a tendency to give light hammer strikes so theres a potential for hangfires

Did you ever get to find out if you were as good at something as you thought? I did, playing football at Fort Scott CC. Every day I lined up against Cliff Frazier, all 6’683;, 265 pounds of him, only to be reminded that I was merely a good football player.

At 682;, 210#, Cliff tossed me around like a rag doll. Later an All-American at UCLA, he was selected in the second round of the NFL draft by the Kansas City Chiefs. Traded to the Philadelphia Eagles because of stalled contract negotiations with the Chiefs, his career was ended by a broken leg in his first regular-season game. There’s no doubt he would have been a star.

I got to test my mettle against an NFL player every day, and was reminded I was a good football player, at best. On days when Cliff was unmotivated I could have argued that I held my own, although that was inaccurate. More correctly, on those days he didn’t kick my ass as bad as on the days when he came out on fire. I never truly prevailed despite my best efforts.

It begs the question, what do these teabagger militia groups believe will happen to them in the event they choose to exercise their “Second Amendment remedies” against professional soldiers?

We’ve seen the pictures of a bunch of hillbillies from Bumfuck, TN, wearing camo-fatigues from the Army surplus store and carrying their best hunting rifles on weekend “maneuvers.” They’re preparing to defend themselves against the tyranny and oppression of the United States government. It’s a proud group whose leaders were probably career military NCOs, although they may have served as cooks or supply sergeants.

You have to wonder if these “defenders of freedom” ever considered with whom they might be fighting. I believe they envision evil socialists like me, a middle-aged, overweight, unarmed man with knees ready to snap like twigs, in their cross-hairs. But is it the likes of me they would fight, or would they find themselves doing battle with a far more formidable opponent?

Let’s assume the worst-case scenario. Two dozen of these yahoos get liquored up and head into Knoxville where they firebomb Democratic headquarters and shoot half a dozen staffers fleeing the building. On their way out of town they burn an Islamic Mosque and gun down dozens of worshipers. An emergency call goes out to all 150 militia members to meet at their secret location in the Great Smoky Mountain National Forest.

Local police and the FBI arrive within an hour, taking descriptions of the perpetrators and their vehicles. The president is notified, and he and the National Security Council decide to view this as an act of domestic terrorism. Federal troops are dispatched.

This isn’t any military unit, it’s T-Unit, an elite force comprised of 500 special forces personnel trained specifically to deal with domestic terrorists. All are seasoned combat veterans, having served minimum two tours in Iraq or Afghanistan. Our Second Amendment heroes have no idea of what they set in motion.

Using drone surveillance aircraft and infrared satellite technology, the militia is quickly located. T-Unit is flown by helicopter, along with mortars, semi-automatic weapons, shoulder launched missiles and advanced communications equipment to within 5 miles of the target. They arrive at 18:00 hours, establish a perimeter around the militia, and wait until nightfall.
>>
At 00:00 hundred hours, T-Unit uses GPS satellites and computer targeting technology to fix their mortars on the militia’s position. Allowing for wind conditions, these mortars are accurate to within a 20 meter radius. Soldiers outfitted with night vision goggles move within 100 meters of the militia camp.

At 00:30 hours all hell breaks loose, and the 20 mortars lay down a barrage lasting 5 minutes, dropping 200 or more shells on the militia’s position. Utilizing satellite communications and infrared technology, survivors are located and teams are directed to their exact locations where they are eliminated with extreme prejudice.

At 00:45 hours, 15 minutes after the first mortar was fired, all 150 of the militia “freedom fighters” lie dead. T-Unit has only a couple of minor friendly fire casualties, because not one militia person ever got off a shot. It’s the government making the statement; “I got your Second Amendment remedies, right here.”

What’s just happened? This is like a bunch of self presumed tough guys from your neighborhood forming a football team and believing they can take on the Pittsburgh Steelers. These soldiers are professionals, practiced at what they do. They’re highly conditioned, they conduct maneuvers daily so they are expertly coordinated in their movements, and they have the most advanced combat technology in the world at their disposal.

So that’s your what militia might look like should it exercise its Second Amendment remedies. The decimation would only be limited by the military’s discretion, and nothing else. It might sound like a good idea on a sunny afternoon at a teabagger rally in the park. The reality on a cold, dark Tennessee night on a mountaintop, surrounded by a superior force with superior technology might not provide the romantic moment and victory for which the militia was wishing.
>>
They fought the law and the law won. We saw what happened with the Hutaree Christian militia in Michigan, and how other groups folded like cheap tents the minute they were questioned by the FBI. They couldn’t wait to throw their “comrades” under the bus. The professional military understands that their comrades will be there for them, no matter how dire the circumstances. After the first militia group is routed, the rush of members to FBI offices around the country would resemble a stampede. The ones that remained would have no idea who they could trust.

So go ahead, exercise your Second Amendment remedies. It might even be me that you kill before the military dismantles you, but the last I heard the mortality rate is 100%, so I’m going to die from something anyhow. Why not this? The only reason I hope it’s not me is because I want to watch your Viagra-induced boners go instantly limp. Four-hour boners? Hell, you wouldn’t even have four-minute boners before you’d be rushing to narc out your militia buddies. Hardened combat veterans will take your Second Amendment remedies and stick them far up your asses, and maybe then we can go back to being a normal country.
