I mean like plastic, cap guns, squirt guns, etc. A BB gun would be a real gun. I don't think Toy guns are a good idea because it encourages bad gun handling (ie pointing guns at people you don't intend to shoot). I think it is wiser to take kids shooting at very young age with BB gun and...

Just wondering if this would work? Has anyone tried it yet? If so what were your results? Think this would work, bullet wts would be about the same as regular slugs. And IIRC sabot loads are usually using a .50" slug.

New to shotshell loading. Don't own a shotgun press or any shotgun loading manuals yet. I would like some suggestions. Will be loading slugs and buckshot only (for three gun type practice). Would also like to load sabot slugs for rifled shotgun. Thanks.

What loads do you actually shoot and carry in a ~12oz 357? Anyone actually practice with 357 ammo?

On page 70 of the Nov/Dec 2002 issue of Peterson's RifleShooterthere is a picture of a AR with a spare mag on the right side of the butt stock. Looks like an aftermarket buttstock with mag holder molded into it. Does anyone know name of company that makes that stock? And what they call that...

Can anyone point me to sources on "Scottish model" of sword fighting? I read somewhere that Scottish model used longer swords and smaller shields vs the smaller swords and larger shields of the Roman style. Would like to do some study of it for ideas about weapon retention (thinking shotgun...

I am wondering if pushing 220 (hornady) or 255 (barnes original) bullets designed for 38-55/375 Win to 2300 fps would work for deer. These bullets are designed for about 2000 fps I am wondering if pushing thes bullets this fast would cause bullet failure? Can anyone recommend better...

Which is better medium?

I haven't attended a combat match were shotguns were used, but I have read about them several places. One thing ALWAYS puzzles me. Why does the range get to tell the shooter what to shoot (ie buck or slugs) for anything other than safety concerns? There are lots of different techniques for...

Has anyone used the plastic training bullets Speer has? They just use a primer IIRC. Been thinking of getting some for my 629 so I can get more live fire in...I moved into farm country, the landlords don't mind if I shoot but they live close enough I don't want to annoy them with noise of...

Wondering if anyone has used the Colibri (SP?) ammo they have in handguns? It is a weak load 20grains @ ~500 fps IIRC Wondering if it shoots very well out of hanguns? I am thinking of getting a 22 revolver soon, since I have several spots on the "back 40" were I live now that I could shoot...

I am leaning towards full power 180 Gold Dot for hunting. For security blanket in the friendly out of doors (and for hog hunting) I am thinking of using Cor Bon's 200 FMJ, but I am wondering just how tough a bullet they use in that load. Is it likely to deform if it hits heavy bone?

I know people here on TFL and elsewhere that have stopped Goblins with guns, knifes, or even empty hands. Or simply thru attitude. I don't know anyone who has ever used 911/cell phone to defend themself or someone else. I think it probably does happen, but I wonder just how commen it saves...

Should I go with the SW 317 because it is light wt and I can run faster? Or with a 500 Linbaugh?

Do you use front pocket carry? If so what type of gun and what caliber and load do you use? 38 snub? 357 snub? a 32 auto? How heavy is your gun?

Are there any carbines in 10mm? Anyone use one? I would like a MP5/10mm but that is class III :(

Any G29 fans out there? If so, what ammo do you use for CCW? I am guessing Silvertips and Cor bon main choices. Anyone use it for hunting or insurance shots on downed game? What loads did you use?

One of the ways I waste time is thinking about what gear I want/need to carry with me. Not just for goblins, but for dealing with the challenges in life. What I should have in the car, what in the house. Training and skills are important, but if you NEED a fire extinguisher you need it (or...

http://www.jerrypournelle.com/reports/jerryp/infantry.html Thought the above might be of interest to many here at TFL. Wondered if we might add anything to the discussion.

I am looking at getting a Ruger Mini 30 for several reasons. I want a low recoil cheap plinker. I have owned a SKS in the past, I like the cartridge but didn't like the dismal sights and pratical accuracy of the SKS (my smoothbore 12 gauge did at least as well using slugs at 50 yards). IIRC...
