Every time I'd be in a big hallway or a dock area I'd always wonder. "when are the bad guys going to get together and have a shootout here" This is when I was REAAALLY little and wasn't aloud to watch action movies, but I'd stumble in on my dad watching them like this one John Wayne one where he was on a dock and dived behind a barrel and shot some dude (McQ I think)

Revolver actions have no more inherent flaws than any other handgun system, especially single stacks. Double stack mags are not part of the firearm mechanism itself, I can't stick a 100rnd drum mag on an AR and claim the Stoner system is insurmountable.

I feel the last strand of hope I was holding onto for a good life beginning to snap. As a kid they tell you all this bullshit about being what you want to be, but they don't tell you about the things life demands of you and how those lofty dreams are unattainable for 99.9% of people who don't have the capital or the help or who haven't been working at it since they were 5. It's feeling numb honestly, like it's infinitely easier to give up, live a regular 9 to 5 office hell with a wife you don't really love in a house that doesn't feel like home, and silence that nagging, juvenile, shonen-esque 10 year old you in your head that's still telling you that you can do it.

Maybe it's because I didn't have enough time we it the rk (valmet to be exact) but it was possibly the most disappointing gun I've ever fired and left me in shambles because it wasn't as magical as the Internet made it out to be. Still a very nice gun regardless.

I lived pretty close to NYC at the time. Then when I got home all the attacks were being broadcast everywhere. I cared for like 10 minutes then went to go play some Sanic Adventure 2 Battle on the Gamecube with my brother.

>>32834341
I saw "gas operated" for the first time in Halo referring to the sniper rifle, which was also referred to as "discarding sabot" and left a long, white tracer streak after every shot.

Up until I was 15 I thought there was a huge difference between 9mm and 45 auto and that a standard M14 was 1 Moa accurate

Up until I was 8 probably I couldn't understand why airsoft guns weren't made auto without using gas or electric

Until I was 10 I thought M16 was called the AR14 because my dad got the name wrong once when I was 5 and no one corrected me

Until I was 12 I thought guns all were pretty much minute of angle accurate

My mate until very recently (hes 22 now) thought that the fire coming from the back of of a jet, missile or rocket was what makes it go forward, like if you put a fire barrel on the back of a car the car would go hundreds of miles an hour.

> Mate: "Hey anon, just thinking, the flame behind a rocket is what moves it, right? Why havent they done that to normal cars?"
> Me: (grimmacing) "Uhm kinda but not really mate, otherwise a bonfire would drill itself into the ground wouldnt it? And they have got rockets on landspeed record cars but they can explode, and the engine does a lot of the work"
> Mate: "Well what does the fire do then, and why is it 'kinda'?"
> Me: "Because the propellant being combusted is throwing matter out the back, propelling the object forward. With combustion, theres fuel and gas, and the gas is usually oxyge- yknow what, fuck it, just assume its the fire."

Its one of those things thats kinda right but for the wrong reasons.

Movies, mostly, but also videogames.

In most games if you're standing still and click on someone, you'll hit them, even if it's a pistol and you're not even aiming down the sights.

Your second or third shot might have a spread pattern to it, but usually the first shot is like a laser.

In movies, people almost never miss with a bolt action or semi-automatic rifle, and only bad guys ever miss with a pistol.

Sights are all perfectly aligned in a universal way so that anyone picking up any gun in a videogame or movie can use it instantly.

Decide to pick up an enemy gun you found near a crater when you've never shot anything but your own issued gun in your life? Don't worry! Just hold it up to your face and enjoy your new instakill death laser!


Meanwhile, a magnum pistol with a scope is basically just like using a rifle, shooting off-hand causes absolutely no instability (unless you're using a scoped weapon, in which case there may be a slight "sway"), and it is impossible to flinch or jerk the trigger.


TL;DR: Before I learned to shoot I believed that The Walking Dead was an accurate portrayal of shooting with a pistol.

Jesus Christ this thread. I've never had emotions be quite so consistently concurrent and divergent. I keep almost grinning, but then it's so fucking sad.

Personally I was six at the time and wasn't clear on what I was looking at, but knew it was some kind of serious business. It was my first real exposure to war and violence, and for years afterward I had almost prepper tier anxiety of a happening but no money or autonomy to do anything about it (being like nine and all) so I felt pretty helpless. It didn't help that, because I liked submarines, I decided I wanted to watch K19 with the family. I held my breath when driving past nuclear reactors for years.

>Not knowing anything about nuclear physics and technology
I was nine and was too scared of it to research much. I was convinced a massive happening could come upon us at any time, and lived in fear of that until middle school. I'm just glad North Korea wasn't really in the news back then; I definitely didn't have the global political wherewithal to know they were basically harmless back then.

Curiously, I always kind of liked the mini-happening of wildfires (Commiefornia). They offered a lot of excitement, a sense of stakes, and gave the appearance of a very dynamic world and life, all without being immediately dangerous close as I could tell, and all built on a mechanism I understood and didn't seem like black magic. I was nine and didn't have anything to loose either. Jam my stuffed animals in the trunk and I didn't really have anything to do but get out of school for weeks on end and watch ash rain. It made it seem like big things were going on. Katrina captured my interest in a similar way, though probably because of how far away it was. To date I have an affinity for severe weather.

>>32837400
>Because of the fire
This is actually almost exactly correct, just poorly understood on his part. A rocket is pretty much the same thing as a bonfire. You could run a rocket (poorly) on a log or plank of wood if you really wanted to. Combustion still results in waste products being expelled with the energy liberated from the material. A bonfire does have a little bit of thrust, it just isn't directed at all and doesn't amount to much because of how slow the combustion is. Rockets are impressive because they apply oxygen directly to their fuel and contain the result in a chamber so a high pressure is attained and all the reaction mass goes one way (or as much as possible). Incidentally, that's why rocket engines have bells on them. Bells improve the directional containment of exhaust gasses when operating in a vacuum, so less energy is wasted and specific impulse (energy derived per unit fuel) is higher. Rockets do generally use different fuels (with a focus on energy density, weight, and specific impulse) but all combustion rockets (not ion, arcjet, yadda yadda) are basically bonfires. All you need is something that burns and a way to meet the demands of the fire triangle. SpaceShipOne, for instance, burns rubber with a nitrous oxide oxidizer. Some hobbyists use packed sugar and a potassium nitrate oxidizer. Wood would work if you wanted. It just has a shit tier energy density/weight. The first stage of the Saturn V was Kerosene and liquid oxygen. Liquid hydrogen/liquid oxygen is fairly common too.

You're right in saying it's the result of expelled matter, but in this case "fire" is expelled matter, or at least the process of liberating the extra energy.

>>32838594
Fair enough, thanks for an in depth explanation, I have fairly rudimentary knowledge of rocketry but I knew any in depth physics would go over his head, hence why I told him it was pretty much the fire.
I assume youve seen the Mythbusters episode where they use salami as rocket fuel, since I saw that I got more interested. And I assume for a 'bonfire rocket engine' to work it would need to be contained and have the expulsion of matter directed through a small channel, like a steam piston engine without the piston. Cant imagine itd be very good though, as you said, the combustion rate and output for the quantity needed would be pretty shit compared to better combustables.
Thanks for the knowledge friend.

>>32838764
My bet would be SpaceShipOne, but instead of a lump or rubber it's just a fucking log. The combustion rate could peobably be afforded with an oxidizer, but the fuel would be gone fast. Starting to move into conjecture though and less things I'm certain of

I mean, handgun ammunition is less lethal than rifle. But it still kills things dead

don't most milsurp bolt actions have a higher muzzle energy than modern assault rifles anyways?

>>32843840
Yeah, but not because they're bolt action. A semi-auto M1 garand has as much energy as any of the bolt action rifles of its day. The bolt doesn't magically make the gun do more damage the way videogames have taught us they do.

>>32838372
Kinda similar here.

I didn't think about terrorist attacks or prepper-esque SHTF stuff, but I legitimately thought that the Iraq war was being fought in the US and that we were fighting off an invasion. I was scared shitless for years thinking I'd get killed by Iraqi bombers coming over the Canadian border or that I'd see their soldiers marching down the street any day. Any kind of warning sirens still freak me the fuck out for a few seconds before I figure out why they're going off.

Fucking yes. I'm pretty much over it, but sirens still send shivers down my spine

When I was a kid I knew muskets were basically handheld cannons where a gunpowder was detonated behind a ball

But I had no idea how modern guns fired bullets at high speed. I thought the entire cartridge was the bullet, you pull the trigger, and magic that replaced gunpowder happens.

>>32843840
An "assault rifle" is an intermediate cartridge select fire rifle.

The key thing to take from that in regards to your question is that a .30-06 or a 8mm mauser is going to be a more powerful round than a 5.56mm or 7.62x39mm.

When I was a kid, I would see AK's on the news being held by Taliban/insurgents. For some reason I thought that the reason the stock was wooden was because they had to make it themselves due to lack of resources.

I had some silly thoughts about guns as a youngling
>Thought bullets traveled so fast that they weren't affected by gravity, and shooting one in the air made it travel indefinitely in a straight line
>People died instantly when shot anywhere
>Thought shotguns were cones of infinite death and killed everything infront of the shooter and were the most powerful guns out there
>thought marines were cool

>recoil from full-size rounds is tooootally controllable in full auto
>everything with full fun was a machine gun
>anyone can take a sniper rifle and make 1km shots
>dual-wielding handguns is perfectly valid
>cover and body armor aren't a THING, are they?
>bullets to the shoulder, arm or leg are nothing; to the chest and guts hurts; to the knee, you're not walking; only headshots or 9-10 chest shots kill
>headshots and kneeshots are super easy, guiz
>Americans can own machine guns whenever they want (Canuckistani)
>missile launchers are all anti-personnel
>there's only one kind of 7.62mm/.50/whatever
I was a dumb fucking kid.

adjust your expectations u fucken ridiculous piece-a'-shit. your mammy said you could be an astronaut but it turns out you can't. boo fucken hoo. do you reckon your grand-pappy got his dick all bent out of shape because he couldn't be a rock star? no, because he grew up workin 12 hours a day on a farm. that sonofabitch was genuinely thrilled to not die of pneumonia.

being rich and famous and achieving your 'dreams' won't make you happy. you think it will but it won't.

You're doing to your life what neckbeards do to women- putting it on some unattainable pedestal and bitching about how you can never have it, how it doesn't jump into your lap like you want it to.

But he's not wrong. Tiny ten-year-old inner me is still screaming at me to join a wind orchestra or go be a doctor or a physicist, or even a soldier. But I'm in fast food Hell because I haven't played in years, don't have much of a work ethic, and am frankly a coward. I wanted to make something of myself, but I know it probably won't happen. Realizing that hurts, anon.

I own a Montero so it's a wanky video for me, watching the thing drive through waves of ash while fire trucks burn.

Holy fuck .30-06 yes. Also .50 caliber civil war guns being powerful as fuck. I did a report on weapons of the civil war and said that.

You are a silly girl. Have you no self mastery?

Sirens don't freak me out because they convey information. Learn warning signals etc and turn your stupid childish reaction into disciplined response by studying civil defense.

But longer barrels ARE more accurate, but only if it means you have a smaller sight radius as a result

Yet beaners with no resources sneak into the US, work, and often succeed.

YOU are the barrier to your success. Stop blaming circumstance unless you are severely physically disabled.

The only things I can think of that revolver has over a modern semi-auto are reliability and the ability to cjamber powerfull rounds like .357, .44 or .500 if you want to go that far.
