Author Topic: The Weapons Stereotype Thread  (Read 118248 times)

I call bullstuff on reloading. Lets take a look in a videogame: You run out of bullets in your rifle, so you take off a hand reach into your ammo pouch, pull out a mag and slip it into place within a matter of 3 seconds. In real life: your rifle is out of ammo so you take a hand off your front grip making you holding a rifle in noe hand, not very heavy, but it can hurt your wrist after a while. you then have to get a magazine out of where ever you keep your magazines then eject the old magazine and put the new one in. then if you want to have more ammo at a later battle, you put the mag in a pocket of something. This would take close to at least 5-8 seconds. So I think they over exageratte reloading a bit in games.

I also hate how some people call a shotgun a rifle. (I know some shotguns are rifled)
There is a huge difference between a shotgun and rifle, alot of shotguns have smoothbore barrels, Meaning it doesn't send it's projectiles out with a spin.

A rifle or rifled shotgun have barrels designed for spinning the projectile, keeping it from going all over the place.
Weapons without rifling tend to hit places other than where you are aiming at. The guns used during the Revolutionary war did not have rifling. (I could be incorrect about this)
For example if you aimed and shot directly at a British soldiers leg, the musketball would either hit his leg as planned or somehow end up in his chest or end up missing him completely.


Shotgun =/= Rifle (Unless the shotgun is rifled)

Not really, it's not that hard to reload in 3 seconds if you're experienced. There are techniques to reload quickly.

You're partially correct, the rifled musket wasn't introduced until later in the war but they weren't produced in great numbers until end-after the war. The whole thing behind Smooth-bore and rifled is Smooth-bore has more power to it, but less accuracy, while it's completely different if it's rifled, less power, more accurate. Such as in Tanks. The M1 Abrams series of tanks have Smooth-bore guns but it's such a large projectile you'd hit it anyways, the British Challenger 2 has a rifled gun on the other hand.

Also your hate on knifes is bullstuff.
Blood isn't going to go SQUIRTING OUT AND SPLATTER ON THE FLOOR
I've seen videos of people being decapitated with a hunting knife, the blood does not go flying out, and the noise was minimal because he was gagged.
In fact I think the most noise was from them trying to sever his spinal cord with it, which they did pretty badly.
And just because the gun laws in your state are strange, it doesn't mean that everyone does that.
Also double barreled shotguns are pretty common for break action shotguns, bro.
You realize your blood is still pumping even when you're dying right? The heart creates a lot of pressure, so when you cut a main artery like the carotid in your neck, it gushes out, violently. You can ask a doctor or surgeon about this. Whatever you're watching is extremely inaccurate and probably fake.

Magpul's make everything easier.

They do but, none of those 3 people are using them. Which proves it isn't impossible or even that hard to reload quickly without any type of magpul/ranger plate/etc.

Haha, right.
No.
The heart is not powerful enough to make it go spurting out, unless you somehow stabbed them right there.
Think about that for a second.

Yes, yes it is actually, the heart is powerful enough to squirt blood at a distance of about 30 feet.

Basic Facts about the Heart

How well do you know your heart? These facts may surprise you:

    * The heart weighs less than one pound. The average weight for women is eight ounces and for men, 10 ounces.
    * Your heartbeats with enough strength to shoot blood a distance of 30 feet.
    * Your left lung is smaller than your right one to make room in your chest cavity for your heart.
    * On average, a million barrels worth of blood is pumped through the heart in a lifetime.
    * Every year, your heart beats approximately 35 million times. That is 100,000 beats per day and 70 beats per minute. Over the course of a lifetime, that adds up to an average of 2.5 billion heartbeats.
    * Your heart is made up almost entirely of muscle. It is strong enough to lift approximately 3,000 pounds – roughly the weight of a compact car.
    * The blood vessels fed by your heart are more than 60,000 miles long. According to The Cleveland Clinic, they could wrap around the world twice.
    * Clench your fists and put them side by side. This is roughly the size of your heart. A child’s heart is approximately the size of on clenched fist on an adult hand.
    * Women’s hearts beat faster than male hearts.
    * The human heart begins to beat as early as four weeks after conception. Scientists believe that by eight weeks, when the embryo is only an inch long, the heart is fully developed.
