The Weapons Stereotype Thread

[Demitiri]

Now, people fought wars back in the Medieval ages over the dumbest things. Guy kills your pig? Wage a war over three continents. Run out of supplies due to a fat man stealing your food? Burn the city down and rape every forest animal in sight.

Oh god I lol'd

War in the middle ages were brutal.

Imagine some huge army rushing towards yours as you are, too, and they have 30 pound blunt warhammers, or sharp longswords that could easily lop off your limbs. In the midst of the two armies attacking, you probably wouldn't survive the brutality, or know where you were or who was on your side. Then, some hulking, sweaty guy stabs you in the lower stomach, dragging your intestines out with his sword, but only after he has inserted the sword into the skulls of a few other people. You then lay there, dying, while getting trampled. No one can save you.

I would rather fight a war today, then live back then.

Also it would be easier to accidentally kill your team-mates back then than today.

Guns have accuracy and you can point and shoot, whereas swords and hammers swing in one direction until they hit something or you let go of them.

[Jorici]

Getting brained with a warhammer would be awful too.

Or getting hit anywhere by one, it would cause such collateral damage and pain, it would literally smash your bones to small fragments wherever it hit you, and damage your organs.

[IkeTheGeneric]

Imagine getting hit with a warhammer and having your armor forced into your skin and smashing you inside of it.

I'm going to my great grand-mother's farm to shoot her .22 rifle this summer. It will be the first (real) gun I have shot, so where do I position it?
Also, does the bullet stab people, or shoot them?
yay, trick questions

.22 rifles have virtually no kick, so don't worry about throwing out your arm.

nailguns have more kick than a .22 rifle, you could fire it one handed if you were feeling stupid.

.50 Caliber is also 12.7mm.

Mind.

Blown.

Blown.

Caliber is a measurement of inches. .50 being a half-inch aka 12.7mm

Funfact: .357 is also known as 9mm (technically .356 but that's referring to the 9x19 parabellum cartridge).

 Guns sound like this.

 Pow*     weeeeew   clang

 Can I be in the gun club now.

How does the feeding system on the P-19 Bizon work?
Why is the Spas-12 illegal for import?
Why is shifting iron sights important as a target move range?

[fred da kiko]

people think that a magazine is a clip and a clip is a magazine. i also hate people who don't understand what a submachine gun is. they don't understand that submachine guns shoot pistol rounds, not rifle rounds.

[Dnitro]

P90 is a submachine gun and it doesn't shoot regular pistol rounds.

[Meekl]

All my friends say the Steyr AUG is shaped handicappedly. Yes, they say handicappedly.
You know what I say to them?
"The AUG is the rifle that didn't want to look like all the other rifles. It's good friends with the P90 and L85."
