Entire cartrides would exit the gun barrel, not only the projectile, but all of it including the casing still mounted to the projectile

After learning the truth I had an obsession with shell casings, keeping spent ones and throwing them out beside my toy guns when playing with them. Wierd, I know.

I though the only countries were Russia(Top of the world) USA(Middle) and China(Kind mid bottom) and Antarctica (Thought it was a country knew it was at the bottom)

Thats fucking awesome and I almost wish I was stupid enough to believe that happened.

Due to playing Counter Strike as a kid I thought for a long time that you charged an M4 by pulling the forward assist out backwards, thought the Desert Eagle was called Night Hawk for many years, thought silencers made guns shoot further.

Fucking counter strike.

Bullets were more powerful and deadly coming out of a bolt gun than a semiauto

I hated pepperoni as a kid (still don't like it but grudgingly accept it). Every fucking event that had food usually had pizza, and that pizza always had pepperoni. Rarely was there a cheese pizza. Even on my own birthday, my grandfather ordered only pepper fucking oni pizza. When will people realize that pooperoni isn't the end all topping?

>>30986955
silencers do add muzzle velocity so yes they can make guns shoot further. There is a vickers video about it on long range shooting floating around somewhere.

I used to think that gas operated firearms used a co2 container to actuate the firing pin kinda like an airshit gun, which was why u had to be 18 to buy co2 for airshit (in CA at least)

I remember my Great Grandmother showing me a fraternal sword thingy my Great Grandfather got off of a German in WW2 when I was 4 or 5. I assumed that this was what his enemy carried into battle and that my great grandpa was so old that he fought in a medieval war several hundred years ago.

It actually functions smoother as a club than it does as a gun.

I had no fucking idea how AR's worked prior to building one. The exterior betrays very little of the actual function of the gun.

Ausfag here.

I thought you charged an AR by pulling the forward assist backwards because counterstrike. Sadly have still not shot an AR but came to understand this was wrong after wanting an AR15 and looking on American forums when I was a young teenager.

"Gas operated" guns actually had little c02 canisters in the handle for some reason.

I used to belive in politicians adhering to the constitution. Yeah, silly of me i know

>>30987293
Well, technically some power is used for the action in a semi auto, so for the same round a bolt action has more power available...

I used to think uzi was pronounced U-tchi, like a sneezing sound.

I also thought the M60 was meant to be used with a ammo belt backpack (i blame the Shellshock PS2 game for that one)

"gas operated" meant it used gas like a weed whacker or some shit and that guns had a weed whacker gas tank on them.

then i thought well the ones in movies and stuff must have had the tanks edited out because it doesnt look cool. i probably wouldnt have thought this if i grew up in a country that call gasoline "petrol".

nonetheless, its funny hearing grown adults misconceptions on firearms.

Not me, but a friend of mine who is *most likely* going to become a Ranger thought that the M16 fired 7.62x51 and that was the major difference between it and the M4 carbine. He also told me that the jackass at the gun store told him you had to buy a Colt AR15 if you wanted to shoot .300 BLK out of it. Heh.

I remember when I was really really young, I believed that countries were separate planets. I was only 3 or 4 and I'd never seen a map, I only knew certain countries as these distant things you needed to use aircraft to travel to.

I actually remembering being ultra-disappointed that all countries are in fact on on this one planet and there are no other habitable planets anywhere near our solar system.

I used to believe clips were what you called magazines when they were for pistols, and magazines were for everything else, because of DooM.
