    Ping Pong ball gun

    http://www.popsci.com/technology/article/2013-02/watch-supersonic-ping-pong-ball-smash-through-ping-pong-paddle I found this pretty interesting. Not firearm related per se but gun related physics and its really just a big air gun launching ping pong balls to super sonic speeds. I want one!!

    Haggling

    Do you haggle on your gun purchases? I would say I haggle on about 80% of my purchases. I want the guy to make some money and I don't want to beat him up so bad he think gah I don't wanna see that guy walk through the door again. I also want a fair price. So I try to balance the two things...

    What cant I polish??

    I have been thinking about taking some metal polish to some of my stainless revolvers. Is there any parts or places that I should avoid polishing or any particular polish that is best to use or best to avoid. Also a cloth that is best to use. I am NOT a gun smith so I will not be cracking...

    Best Value

    I have been asked a lot lately what the best value is in an "all around" shotgun. Something that can be used for field use and basic home defense from critters and other unwanted guests. I generally recommend Benelli Nova. I have always had good luck with Benelli. Any other suggestions for...

    Home made exploding ammo

    I was talking to a guy at a party last night who swears up and down that he jams primers in hollow points to make his own explosive ammo. I told him I thought this seemed absurdly dangerous and while I don't know I would assume that they would go off in the chamber. Where do people come up...

    3 must own handguns?

    For people looking to get into gun ownership what are the 3 must have handguns? My opinion would be. #1 22 revolver. Arguably the best to learn on. No magazines which get expensive and tend not to be durable. #2 1911 in whatever form fits your need. #3 center fire revolver. In whatever...

    Tack Driver?!?

    I would like to pick up a nice revolver in the thousand dollar range. I would like a .357 or .44 mag. But could be convinced of a 460 due to the ability to shoot 454 or 45 colt through it. I know that's a huge range. Main uses would be hunting and target shooting. I'm guessing smith or...

    model 94 double action trigger

    I just brought home a model 94. 22lr. 4in barrel. Its polished stainless and flawless. Best looking Taurus I have ever gotten. Works flawlessly as well. Trigger is smooth as silk and the single action trigger is a crisp 4lbs. Cocking it about breaks my thumb though. Double action trigger is...

    1st black gun

    I swore when I left the navy that I would never get one as I liked AK and SKS platform so much better. Since I have a gun safe filled with them already I thought it might be time to get an AR. I have no brand loyalty or even much knowledge of makers I just know there are to many to count To...

    too many options

    I would like to get a 30 cal high powered rifle. Around $1k after scope. Prefer bolt action. Capable of 800 yard shots. Something big enough for moose and elk but not to big for midwest deer. Can I do all that with one rifle in or around that price range? If so what brands and rounds should I...
