Post Weaponology talk
Haven't seen a topic too closely related, so I think I'm safe to post this-

Anyone want to discuss some favorite weapons, armors, fighting styles that they have seen? Anything ranging from the ordinary arsenal like short swords and the typical rifle all the way to the most unusual and exotic creations to mind. Maybe some other kind of technology that has revolutionized the battlefield.

Anything in regard the above can be discussed here. Come share your knowledge, learn something new, and maybe become inspired Image

Well apart from that you could probably predict that I am quite found of bows. The strength and precision that goes into wielding one is such a pleasure. The only thing is that you cannot fool around with the real thing so that is where the bamboo comes in :lol: . Works better indoor.

Not really related, but I'd like to get a plain recurve and some arrows so I can dress up as Katniss for Halloween. :) Not to mention I've always wanted a bow. :)

Bows are great, no denying it. And I have wanted to see the film adaptation of the Hunger Games. Read the books and fell in love with them almost instantly.

On a side note, a tad off topic, but a welcome side track.

Lol, whatever Jay :P I could hide, you'd never see me and end up walking into your doom. Or should I say the range of my bow. Your rifle and pistol are invalid. :P

Pshuh, you wish I couldn't find you. All's I'd have to do is turn Rosie loose, and she'd find you. If there's anyone nearby that could possibly throw a ball, she will find them out. :-P



I just saw this smilie, and I want to use it now. So. :o

Lol, whether or not you have any balls with you is not a problem, she also plays tug-of-war and frisbee. :-P

:o I know! It's a shame! :(


My mom is seriously considering buying another .410 to replace the one she sold a few years ago. We've been having some problems with dogs around our house. They killed my grandparents pigs, some of their chickens, are attacking cars as they drive by, and harass one of our neighbors when he rides by on his horses. I don't approve, but something has to be done or someone is going to get hurt.

So my question is: .410 vs. 20 gauge loaded with salt rounds, which would you prefer?

Whelp, all I have to say is this; meet Gustav, a 800mm WWII German railway gun.

Which proves that having the bigger gun in a fight doesn't matter much. Have the bigger stick helps, but it matters a lot more who's swinging it.
