What are your main interest in firearms?

Is it historical interest? Defensive and competitive shooting? Or do you enjoy shooting out of plain fun?

Killing niggers

>>33715237

I'm interested in more future warfare stuff. Stuff that's on the horizon and stuff that's more scifi - I like my space warfare.

I'm a noguns so most of my interest is just reading. Researching stuff so I can design my own scientifically accurate space battleships.

Mechanical interest, because cars are boring
>>
I just like things that go boom
>>
>>33715237

Like >>33715451

Mechanical, I like taking things apart seeing how they work putting them back together and making my own things, cars are guns are great for this interest.
>>
>>33715237
Technical interest, historical interest, and a perfectionist/completionist streak

My main interest is in controlling firearms and who has them and who doesn't.
>>
I live to collect slavshit
>>
Really firearms in general. I have a soft spot for wacky designs, new concepts, gimmicks, failed designs.
IM also very fond of the self defense aspect, the sheepdog concept, and minutemen.
I don't have much interest in hunting personally, I wouldn't ever see myself stalking a deer and taking its life. I could see myself taking out pest animals though, boars and coyotes.
>>
I'm interested in military history.
Also A E S T H E T I C S.
>>
>>33715237
it doesnt matter mr. BATFE, its my right now bugger off.
>>
I like owning guns in a society that hates guns. I.e Canada
>>
>>33715237
I'm probably a collector above all else. I also love having a caliber for any mood I'm in but stick to the main 5 nata/slav calibers plus 22, 12ga, and pellet rifles.
And I really go for things that please the eye or are interesting or unusual vs what I've grown up seeing.

>>33715237
The feeling of operating and shooting guns makes my weewee feel funny.

Same reasons I like cars and planes: mecha-autism, mastering operation, and aesthetics.
>>
>>33715237
owning guns I see in anime and naming all the guns I own after anime characters.
>>
Collecting. They're weapons of war and should be respected as such. Tired of this new sheepdog trend where everybody buys an AR15 and takes classes and buys gear hoping that they'll get to kill people without actually enlisting. People who concealed carry too. They all either have hero fantasies or are hoping they'll get mugged so they can legally shoot somebody.

Mechanical and historical.

Talked to him about it, and despite not knowing it was up there he refuses to part with it.

It sparked an unstoppable interest in the interworkings of firearms that I have to this day.

Mechanics, history, aesthetics.

Not necessarily in that order.

pic related + 2 Walker replicas and a .22 lever action plinkster

love shooting guns, collecting guns,learning about guns, love how they look, work,everything.

it isn't really my main interest, but i have guns for defensive use.
>>
>>33715237
Shooting is just plain fun, however, I do enjoy knowing I can defend myself whenever the need arises.
>>
>>33715237
A combination of the history and mechanical interest. Most of my guns are milsurps.
>>33715420
Well, at least you're honest.

That shit would never work. The rest look okay though.

Fanatical acquisition of all firearms through any means.

>>33718230
Using a wound sheet spring to apply force to the follower?
Check Ian's video on the SPIW prototype magazines.

>>33718230
>no 5 won't work
>somehow no 7 will work better

Do you not know how to mechanical forces.
>>
>>33718230
>>33718357

I doubt any of these concepts would work.
>>
>>33718401
No 4 and 8 work.

>no 8 for Ruger 10/22 style rifles
>no 4 famously used in Spectre SMG

No 8 is also what 50-60rd AR mags are.
>>
>>33718401
I have seen working examples using similar mechanisms to 4, 5, 8, and 12.
>>
>>33715237

In order of importance: political, mechanical, historical, and sporting.
>>
Gun make big boom.

Me like big boom.

New Jersey -fag here.

>Historical interest?
Sure, to a degree.

>Defensive?
Absolutely. I avoid getting firearms with no defensive value, don't have the money to throw around on stuff like tricked-out AR's when I can get good with a Hi-Point carbine for a third of the price. Most of my defensive practice is with a 12-gauge pump shotgun and a Hi Point .45 carbine.

>Competitive?
Not really. Competitions are stressful.

>Plain fun?
Yep! I teach a lot of other people to shoot too, recognizing the value of certain points since I had to teach myself. I try to teach people who otherwise wouldn't get that experience (particularly minority individuals whose families avoid firearms), and start them on a .22LR rifle in order to give them a good starting point. I practice most of my fundamentals on a Mosin-Nagant M39 (pic-related) due to the need for trigger discipline, the open sights, the recoil, high accuracy, and the crisp trigger pull; it's kind of a perfect training rifle for disciplining both techniques and habits and really good for a lot of purposes in general.
