I recently got a good bow, but haven't had a chance to take a picture of it yet.  Have actually never bow hunted, so it will be interesting to give it a shot next deer season.

 

Dave Spritz: People don't throw things at me any more. Maybe because I carry a bow around.

EEk, a Luger? Dude, I don't even......

(Actually, I can't finish that, because I'm not a gun owner :( )

its 9mm luger is just another way of saying 9mm. A 9mm parabellum and 9mm luger are the same thing just different names.

I actually didn't know that.

9mm Luger, 9mm Parabellum, 9x19mm, and 9mm NATO are all the same cartridge with slight differences in chamber pressure when fired. There are others that are not the same though, such as the 9mm Makarov, which is 9x18mm and wouldn't be compatible with a standard 9mm handgun chambered in the common 9mm cartridge.

Do 9 mil revolvers exist?

As you mention a difference that to me suggests it's slightly too short to fit in the magazine...

(so in theory it could be fired with a nato standard weapon?) <machine tolerances>

It would probably fit in the magazine. The problem would present itself in the chamber of the pistol when it is set to be fired. Its circumference 0.26mm larger, so it probably wouldn't seat into the chamber properly and would be very dangerous if fired that way.

 

And yes there are 9mm revolvers. Ex: http://www.taurususa.com/product-details.cfm?id=329&category=Pistol

ah, ok, I got my measurements mixed up, and assumed it was the other way around.. (smaller)

 

(lol at the irony, a handgun that's dangerous when fired)

I like my SIG P250's because with module changes they can convert to shoot 9mm, .357 SIG, .40 or .45 and do the swap in <2min - without tools. Going from .357 SIG to .40 in the subcompact (see my sig) is just a barrel change, which can fit in a small pocket or wallet.

Also like my SIG Mk25, a version of the Navy SEAL P226 with special coatings for seawater etc. It can swap from 9mm to ,40.

no it's not my is off google

 

Yeah you can find just about "anything" nowadays to fit on picatinny rails.  I'm not particularly fond of the rail set I have because they are open and let dust in and onto the barrel, so I actually run just the standard A-2 style grips.  Have been eye-balling a bipod that snaps onto my bayonet lug though.  Might as well put that bit to use since I don't plan on fixing a bayonet on there, and it would give me a bipod, which I've wanted for steadier shots, without putting on the rail system that I don't like.

The atlatl (say at-latl) is fun and easy to learn, and depending on the projectile length and mass can reach out to 250 meters. Anything from an arrow to a 3 meter spear. You can also spearfish and hunt with them in many locales. We're trying to get them approved for Michigans archery season now that the crossbow effort is finished..

Never illegal but until the last few years you couldn't hunt with them unless you were a handicapper. Now they're allowed.

As to the atlatl; we cannot hunt with them yet. We can, however, hunt with a slingshot firing either a ball (usually steel) or an arrow. Quite a deadly sniper weapon.

    • Poll: Grand Theft Auto VI price predictions, cast your vote

      Poll: Grand Theft Auto VI price predictions, cast your vote by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe After years of waiting, Rockstar will be solidifying the launch date of Grand Theft Auto VI with the launch of pre-orders next week. While the studio has confirmed a date for this occasion, it is yet to attach a price to the highly anticipated game. So let's see what our readers think it will cost at launch. The Grand Theft Auto VI pre-orders will kick off on June 25 for digital and physical editions. Unless some last-minute changes happen, the release date will be November 19, 2026, across Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5. Unfortunately, there's still no information about a PC version from the developer or the publisher Take-Two. Now the question becomes, how much will Grand Theft Auto VI cost at launch? The game is predicted by some analysts to be the biggest launch of an entertainment product ever. With the amount of hype that has been built behind it and with ballooning development costs, Take-Two may price this Grand Theft Auto entry differently from other AAA titles. The current price of a AAA game is $69.99. That norm almost rose to $79.99 before calming down. But with such a massive release, Grand Theft Auto VI may be the game that pushes the boundary again. It's also possible that Take-Two keeps the price relatively low to increase the number of players that jump in early and keep them hooked on Grand Theft Auto Online to spend on microtransactions for years to come. Keep in mind that the below poll is asking for a prediction of the standard edition price, not a deluxe or any other special edition that Take-Two will introduce for additional benefits. Also, there is the chance of the company splitting up the campaign and online portions. If you think that will happen, put your vote on what you think will be the total cost of the two. Poll Poll: How much will Grand Theft Auto VI cost? $59.99 $69.99 $79.99 $89.99 $100 or more Submit Vote If you have a very specific prediction in mind, sound off in the comments below.
