Weapons? What do you own?

Got me a used police issue Glock 22 gen 3 today, can't wait to shoot it. By the looks of it and by what the gentleman that sold it to me said was it wasn't used much, just got wear on the outside from a paddle holster. Checked it out real good when I got home with it and it appears to be pretty mint on the inside.

thats a beautiful gun Doc. I have a friend trying to sell me a lever action 45-70 govt. debating on if I should buy it or not.

I LOVE mine, it's a lot of fun to shoot and doesn't cause excessive pain after 10 rounds like my .300 Win Mag.

The ammo for it is really expensive though isn't it? Before the whole gun ban scare went down it was expensive. I can only imagine what it costs now.

Yeah, relatively I guess. It's cheaper than .300 Win Mag, which is my other choice since I only own those two. It's about $32 for a box of 20 online right now.

A pair of scissors

A paper stapler

Rocks

 

 

Sheldon Cooper: Ooh, I don't think so. Anecdotal evidence suggests that in the game of rock-paper-scissors, players familiar with each other will tie 75 to 80% of the time due to the limited number of outcomes. I suggest rock-paper-scissors-lizard-Spock.

Raj Koothrappali: What?

Sheldon Cooper: It's very simple. Scissors cuts paper. Paper covers rock. Rock crushes lizard. Lizard poisons Spock. Spock smashes scissors. Scissors decapitates lizard. Lizard eats paper. Paper disproves Spock. Spock vaporizes rock. And as it always has, rock crushes scissors.

When you have a pump shotgun do you store it with or without pumping it first. Technically couldn't you just store it with one in the chamber and the safety on?

And can someone finally tell me what sabot is good for. From what im gathering it looks like a different concept for hot loading smaller projectiles out bigger barrels

try not to store loaded! you could forget about it ... bullets could deteriate.... if the gun jams cause of a muck build up that will hurt...

Besides my firearms, I have some big knives and acouple of tomahawks and a couple machete's.

i just got a tomahawk a few weeks ago ;D and a chain whip (with a spike on the end)

I never store anything with a round in the chamber.  I may keep a magazine in it, but I don't keep any of my weapons charged.  Not just for safety purposes, but for the life of your firearm.  Think about it like this.  Your firing mechanism is spring powered.  In an AR-15 for example, when you chamber a round, you also lock the hammer back.  In a bolt action rifle, the firing pin is locked back against a spring inside the bolt that throws it forward when you pull the trigger.  Tension is held on that spring until you release it by pulling the trigger.  Leaving it cocked back with tension on it for a long period of time "could" weaken the spring and cause it not to strike the primer hard enough to actually fire the round when you need it most.  If you practice with your firearm regularly, it will only take you a fraction of a second to charge it, not to mention the psychological impact on would-be assailants of hearing a pump action shotgun being brought to bear.

 

Edit: The only weapon that I would store loaded might be my revolver, because it's double action so I don't have to prepare or charge anything for pulling the trigger to fire a round.

If I ever save up enough money im going here, one of a few places you can train with navy seals and law enforcement.

For the love of God, don't pick a James Yeager course. That man will lead you to your death. He just is too hot headed and that's a risk in itself.

As far as training though, I'm thinking about going the video route with a company called Panteao Productions. They give you a bunch of videos from professional instructors and I'm the type of person who can do well in a classroom so I'm thinking about giving them a try.

    • Password Safe 3.72.0 by Razvan Serea Password Safe is a password database utility. Like many other such products, commercial and otherwise, it stores your passwords in an encrypted file, allowing you to remember only one password (the "safe combination"), instead of all the username/password combinations that you use. Once stored, your user names and passwords are just a few clicks away. Using Password Safe you can organize your passwords using your own customizable references—for example, by user ID, category, web site, or location. You can choose to store all your passwords in a single encrypted master password list (an encrypted password database), or use multiple databases to further organize your passwords (work and home, for example). And with its intuitive interface you will be up and running in minutes. PasswordSafe was originally designed by the renowned security technologist Bruce Schneier and released as a free utility application. Password Safe 3.72.0 changelog: Fixed bugs Improved font scale handling - should resolve font size issues on high resolution displays. GH1749 In the Master Password Setup window, "Show Master Password" is no longer truncated on some displays. GH1092, SF1595 Size and position of main window is now correctly restored on scaled displays. SF1630 Keep password expiry date when both password and password expiry are changed; don't clear a non-recurring expiry when the password's changed. SF1628 Custom values can now be copied to the clipboard in read-only mode via Ctrl-C and right-click->Copy Value. New features GH1196 Dark display mode support: Password Safe now supports the system display mode, as well as setting the mode directly via Manage->Options->Display->Display Mode. This change also updates the general "look & feel" of the app to the current Windows theme. Known limitations: The Date picker and keyboard shortcut controls do not switch to dark theme The Customize Toolbar dialog does not switch to dark theme Custom Field support has been added to the more advanced features: Filters XML and Text import and export Comparison, Sync and Merge databases SF938 Custom field values may now be selected by name and copied via a "Copy Custom Field Value..." submenu in the entry context popup menu. SF936 Notes and Custom fields layout now overlap, selectable by tabs, resulting in a more compact and less cluttered layout. SF935 Autotype: Specifying '\v{name}' in the autotype text will cause the corresponding value to be autotyped.

    • I've got a SoundBlasterX G6 that I use in my streaming setup. Sounds great to me and I've had zero issues with the ancient software package so far in Win11. That G6 has 7.1, Dolby, fully working SPDIF and since it's a USB device it's outside of my rig so I don't have to worry about EMF distortion. Looks like for now this is a pass for me as I think I have better hardware....
    • How do you connect 5.1 Speakers to this thing?
    • I agree with both of you... It's absolutely imperative that science is completely based on actual proven facts and hard evidence and is not considered dogmatic in any way. Science is not a religion and it will never be, and that's exactly how it's supposed to be.
