Hello everyone I know that there are less-lethal "beanbag"-rounds for shotguns. But do less lethal rounds also exist for rifles or pistols, or do they only exist for shotguns? Thanks in advance, Max

Hello everyone When looking around another forum, I saw a picture of a quite futuristic rifle. I couldn't ID it in any way, so maybe one of you guys can. I only know that it's NOT a Steyr Aug, and that's a civilian one. Thanks in advance, Max

Hello everyone I wondered if there's anyone around here who owns a Steyr AUG, preferably the A3-version. I just wanted to know with which attachments people set their AUGs up. So, photos would be great. Thanks in advance, Max

Hello everyone A few days ago some teenagers/young adults broke into a car-workshop with an adjacent private home. The owner, a competition-shooter (who later claimed to have seen a gun on the attackers) shot one of the teenagers, who then proceeded to run, and made it to the street corner...

Hello everyone After having quite a hard life as a research-tool (which did leave marks) my airsoft-USP is, at least for now, retired. And because I couldn't have it just lying on my desk, but would't stuff it back into the box and put it away somewhere, I decided to just put it on the wall...

Hello everyone I came across the IMI Tavor/X95 Bullpup-rifles, the "professional" ones as well as the civilian version. I wonder if there are actually a few of these rifles in private hands, or if it's a rifle that gets very rarely bought, like the Barrett M107. I personally only know of one...

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...

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...

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...

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...

(Sophisticated) German News just a minute ago: "Heavy rainfall has hit a large part of the US-American Northeast. For example, in the State of Washington, several rivers swell up and caused floodings." I might be wrong, but wasn't the State of Washington on the west coast? Because I know...

Hello everyone On early monday morning, a german police officer was attacked by a person he was supposed to arrest, and, after he failed to stop the person with peperspray, fatally shot the attacker. Now the german police considers ending the use of firearms alltogether (apart from special...

Hello everyone First off, if this is the wrong part of the forum, just tell me where this belongs.F My airsoft-USP (which I of course know is as far from real firearms as it gets) runs on magazines which are made by the same standards the magazines for the real USP are made by. Now, after...

Hello everyone The photo in the link shows a perfect example (from a TV-Series) as of when you should give up your gun. http://www.imfdb.org/images/b/b6/BurnNoticeoshi.jpg Max By the way, of course it's not meant entirely serious.

Hello Now, this is an idea of a new topic that can either fail big time, or get quite interesting/funny. But nothing in between those two extremes. It is about (live action) television (and movies) showing dangerously stupid gun-handling, or very, very obvious mistakes. Most recently, a...

I know it includes long periods spent waiting around, but it combines clay shooting with squirrel hunting. And adds a new kind of challenge to both. Billybobs squirrel removal service. - 9GAG Max

Hello everyone Can someone tell me if the S&W 629 "Stealth Hunter" (or the 629 in general) has a manual safety of some sort? Or is it ready to fire the moment the top chamber in the cylinder is loaded? Furthermore, does the rail on top of the barrel accept attachments (like sights) made for...

Hello everyone, it's me again. First of, I promise (!!!) that I'll ask less questions in the future. So these two may be among the last few (I'm doing final detail-work on my project). During that detail-checking two questions came up which I couldn't answer via google and colleagues. 1.: How...
