Common Gun Myths....

[Aceman]

Threads like this never turn into a pissing match debate between pro-gun control people and anti-gun control people.

That was smooth!

You should love America and its gun laws, you can whine and moan all day about how you don't like them and still have the right to not buy one...awesome isn't it?

Wouldn't it suck if you were forced to own one?

Think about that when you suggest they be taken away from others.

Sad but true...the intent of this thread is really to have a laugh at all the misinformation out there...

Ok.... slight derail!

Boat guns

I'm thinking anodized or stainless
Any opinions?

[stratobastard]

And yes, it will be a tool!
A tool for sef defense!
If I happen to put some holes in someone with it, it will be because that was the most suited tool for the job at the time!

I never said I want to take them away from others in my post. That's an assumption on your part.

I do wish there were fewer of them out there but our culture is what it is. They are't going away so strict punishments for using them in crime and reasonable rules for ownership and use are just good sense in my opinion. My step father had many guns and most of my friends have them, some several, but all of the above kept/keep them safe and unlikely to be used inappropriately or stolen so as to enter the illegal gun market.

And even though I don't own one, I think they're absolutely fascinating. It's just that I'd rather spend the money on another guitar. But I really think they're... I'll say it... cool. The history, the lore, the tech, the craftsmanship, the amazing skill in their making and when they are used well.

And I'm glad I've never had to direct one at another living creature so far.

Guns help Frank Lee achieve and maintain a full, firm erection.

Effective on the range = Unstoppable during a shootout

Bullets turn people into pulp

Entirely non-metallic guns exist

Guns fire when dropped

Bullets make metallic things spark on contact

Silencers make gunfire sound like a barely audible little "fwhip" (unless it's something like a .22 or 9mm with a wet supressor, those are pretty quiet).

Machine guns can fire forever and turn one man into an everlasting murder machine

Bullets make things explode

Bulletproof vests just let you laugh off gunfire

You can cock your firearm dramatically before you waste somebody after a gunfight and not drop a fresh round to the floor.

You can shoot for 2 minutes without reloading...a handgun....

12g Mossberg 500 in Marinekote, assortment of slugs and buck and birdshot. Get some flare rounds too.

Ammo in a dry box w/ dessicant is the bigger issue.

Thanks man, is marinecoat available on anything?

Here's what I was thinking...
Mossberg
Mini, or ranch 30
2 handguns

If you're the good guy in an action movie, all or most of your shots will connect with "bad guy" targets, while every one of their hundreds and hundreds of automatic-fire rounds will fail to hit anyone.

[JollyRoger523]

Just about every gun related thing seen in a movie = myth.

[stratobastard]

What??? You've never pumped a loaded shotgun every 3rd step, without ejecting anything?

[Jessie's ghost]

Yes, that's true. If you're a bad guy with a pump shotgun, you have to rack the slide before and after every shot. At least.

[formula73]

The racking of the slide thing in movies drives me absolutely nuts. So does pulling back the hammer on a 1911.

Most of these have been covered here, but these articles are still a pretty funny read.
