@kwo51 That's what I want to find out. My parents are the most anti-gun people in the world, yet still we find ammunition in an old drawer. Then again, the cupboard it was in is really old, from my grandparents' first shared flat. So it could be that the ammo is from them or their parents even...

Thank you Jo6pak The fourth from the left is not a hollowpoint, it's just a flat top. I measured the diameters at the widest points, but I could only measure mm, no imperial units. The way they're lined up on the photo (left to right) they measure: 1st: 6mm 2nd: 6 to 6.5mm 3rd: 9mm (I'd guess...

Thanks for the fast reply. Wonder what calibers they may be, so I could get an idea of where they come from. Also, strangely, one of them (pistol round?) seems to be spent. But still, thanks for the reply

Hello everyone While moving some furniture, I found a few small objects that could be ammunition, or spent rounds. My father says it could be ammunition from the Bundeswehr (german military), from around the 1960s or 70s, but he's not sure. What's suspicious is that the objects do look like...

Hello everyone In the Movie "Lone Survivor" I saw some soldiers mounting small red-dot sights on top of their long-range scopes, so they could still engage targets at close range. Is that actually done in real life, or is it something the armourers made up and "patched together" for the movie...

Hello guys I don't know if you noticed, but right now, the german press developed the "G36 affair". The german Bundeswehr seems to have accuracy-problems with their new Heckler & Koch G36-rifles, which has, as part of a series of equipment-problems, called the defense-minister into action, and...

She doesn't need the supressor in that situation of course, she'd let the water run out and then she'd put it back in her pocket. This was just about wether or not the supressor would still work afterwards, or if it'd be destroyed/damaged. Max

Thanks for the answers. The gun is really in the water for mere seconds (character jumps into water, dives a few yards distance while she waits for enemy to stop shooting (30 rounds on full auto out of an AKM doesn't take long), and resurfaces). So it seems like the water really shouldn't be a...

@Viper Jeff: I thought that the water, even if the contact lasted only about a minute, could've soaked the propellant, keeping it from igniting when the hammer strikes the primer. About the supressor, as far as I know it is "made up" of several smaller chambers, which would fill with water. I...

Hello everyone So, in my novel-project, one of the protagonists carries two H&K USP45Cs as sidearms, one of which with a threaded barrel and a suppressor, which, when not mounted, is transported by stuffing it into a pocket. Now, during the final shootout, the protagonist is forced to take...

The son died "unspectacular" (sounds wrong) of cancer, and the father had been honorably discharged just a few years prior. I had read that the class A's are worn were civilians wear "black tie"-clothing, so I thought he may wear the basic bit of the uniform the blue suit. Because I've seen...

@Palmerwmd: The person who died is the former soldiers son, and wasn't in any military. And yes, it's a civilian funeral

Remember when the "Matrix"-movies were filmed? The armourer says the producers asked for "the biggest gun you have that is not a rifle". They got the Deagle in .50 AE

Hello everyone First of all, this is probably the wrong place. If it is, please tell me where to put this post. In my current project one character used to be Major General of the US Airforce, but was honourably discharged a few years before the events of the novel. Now, there is a funeral in...

Over here there's a saying: Signs made to forbid something are only put up after someone did just that. Wonder how the nuclear weapons made it onto that sign... Max

So, firearms are forbidden. Ok. But how about Tasers, the ones who shoot those little darts? After all, they still shoot something. Max

So, the way I understand it, I can't buy/own, say, a 9mm Glock for home protection? Max

I'll (try to) mayor in journalism, don't know what specialisation yet.

Creative and honest: direct upload It's from an online-hunting show, forgot the name. Max

Hello everyone It's been a while since I've been online. The following may turn out a little complicated, but I'll do my best: In June next year I will graduate from "Gymnasium" (german Highschool), and, from how things are looking today, go to the USA on a student visa to attend university or...
