Hello everyone I have to bother you with yet another (maybe stupid) question. M16 or M4 carabine assault rifles are often chambered for 5.56x45mm NATO ammunition. Is that ammunition on sale for civilians in the USA? Over here in germany such rifles are forbidden to own, so I couldn't get the...

In the situation I am "constructing" for my novel-project a bolt action rifle (hunting rifle) got a supressor, and usual ammunition. Is there any difference in the sound or does that only work with sub-sonic rounds? Max

Hello everyone I read somewhere else, that supressors can be bought in some parts of the US, so I decided to ask about them here. I want to know how a shot fired with a supressed rifle sounds. I "googled around" a bit, but only found out that it doesn't sound like it sounds in movies. Or does...

Hello everone I have a question most of you might find a bit stupid :facepalm: , but being from gun-free germany I couldn't solve it in any other way. Does a modern shotgun, like a Mossberg 590 or simmilar, have a safety catch? Or is there no such thing on these things, and they are ready to...

They didn't kill anyone (luckily, protagonists where inside the house), but they really shreddered the room. Max

Hello everyone It is (once more) a question that came up during research. It's the following situation: At war, the military decides to "shoot a house to pieces". Clearer formulated, two or three rounds empty two or three rounds of ammunition into a room. In a book of the "Tomorrow Series" the...

Hello everyone Our family uses two cars, both aren't the size of yours by far. Car 1: 2009 VW Touran I'm not sure, but I think it's not sold in the US. It's based on the golf, and about a metre shorter than the VW Routan. Ours got a (quite weak) diesel engine, and the same grey trashbags have...

I think the condition in the (made-up) situation are perfect (except for the shooter being no soldier): -Inside a building -Best possible configuration -No wind, no rain, nothing in the way -From one story of the building into the one below Max

Got a new screenshot, quality is a bit rubbish but it's a better size than the first one. Max

I admit it: :shooter: Max

Hello everyone If someone without military education (but with experience on guns) would use an M16 on longer distances, where would be the "end of realism"? On the example of a "human-sized" target. 50 yards, hundred, twohunded, or even more? Thanks, Max

Hello everyone A couple of month ago I read somewhere that real pistoles can be modified to turn them into mock-ups, what means that they are full functional up to chambering a round, they are only unable to fire a shot. Does anyone knows what these modifications are like, and maybe even what...

Hello Everyone I had the idea of starting a thread just to show funny pics either self-taken or foud on the internet. There is already one about weapons related pics, and I imagined this one to be for all funny pics which havn't anything to do with weapons. If this is not wanted, just delete...

Im trying to find out what model the two Benellis on the picture are. IMFDB only gives away the maker, nothing more. Maybe someone of you can identify it, comparing with the model range of Benelli didn't help me at all. For size comparsion, the assault rifles on the right are, as far as I know...

Nice comparsion

I read that these wheights under the barrel are supposed to reduce recoil. That one on the prop might me a bit "Hollywood sized", but reduced recoil is a helpful improvement if a 15 year old girl is supposed to use that pistol. Max

Hello everyone The attachment are two screenshots from the trailer for the new "Kick-Ass"-Film. They shows a revolver, which's Maker/Model/Configuration I try to find out. The quality is quite bad, but I couldn't get a better one legally. Friend guessed it to be a Smith & Wesson 629, but even...

Hello everyone The Attachment is a screenshot from the Trailer to the new "Kick-Ass"-Film. I would like to know what maker/model that gun is, because I want to use it in my novel-project (and just to know it at all). As far as I could find out (comparing pictures) it's a Sig-Sauer P232. But...

This is Mali, our sweet little three years old "family beast". She's a Labrador, basically. But she sometimes acts like a cat, or a cow (eats huge amounts of grass), and she really sleeps like a stone if she wants. On that picture she looks a bit taller than she is, she's about knee-high...

This is my little offroad toy. It's basically a Yamaha DT80MX, but half of it is made of whatever I got if I needed parts. So for example Headlights and tank are not original, as well as the piston, handlebar and about a dozen other small parts. I purchased it four years ago for 210€ over ebay...
