Guns

[killa]

As the title says really....

I was going to start this the other week after Stinks, Swords, thread which was very interesting.

I'm not sure about all the technicalities of most guns, but i know what i like from either films, games or documentarys.


The Luger

An awesome pistol, just for the history really.

In service since the early 1900 i think, and apparently able to be used (if well maintained) for 100 years! lol

And if you really need to kill things.....

The artillery Luger

Or Red 9, if your a resident evil fan

The M16

What an ace weapon, an old skool design, accurate, reliable, lightweight and with a grenade attachment has to be one of the best rifles of all time. I am of course talking about any game with it in, or film.

Sounds nasty to

You've got a building with multiple enimies inside, your pissed, you need.....

The Uzi

"The best thing to come out of Israel since Jesus"


If you have any interesting facts or stories about the above guns, go for it...i only know what i know through books and stuff.

I have my personal favs, these above are wicked....i like the MP5 for the usage, the M60 (belt fed i think) for the damage, desert eagle for the stupidity factor....and not forgetting the mini gun.

M107 Long Range Sniper Rifle, Barrett .50 M107.

Not a fan of guns but i did see this beast in the film Smokin' Aces & it is indeed a beast.

Desert Eagle

Like it says, it's a popular choice in video games & judging from what i've seen of em, they're bloody powerful for a pistol.

I'm set.

The Barrett for the combination of accuracy and stopping power.

The XM8 for some futuristic development

...but IMO the "computer room" scene in Rambo, where he uses the M60 single handed has got to be one of the best gun scenes in Hollywood

Dragunov SVD.

Blindingly accurate, powerful and the worlds first purpose-built marksman's rifle.

Maschinengewehr 42, or MG42. 1200 rounds per minute and one of the best looking guns ever made. One day I will have one, it's just a shame that they are going for around £800 at the minute.

Bugger, forgot the Sturmgewehr 44 (MP44, StG44). The worlds first Assault Rifle and the basis for the AK47.

Got to be the M85, for sheer accuracy and simplicity. Not one has failed in the feild since its release.

Watched a documentary on the M16/M4 many years ago. Discussed how horrendously unreliable it was due to the complexity and vulnerability of the firing mechanism. By comparison the AK47 was virtually indestructible with a very simple mechanism.

British issue L98/SA80s are prone to just as many problems as the M16, I had plenty of jams while cocking them, and that was just sitting at a firing range and poncing about on training excercises. I can't imagine having to rely on one when you're in sandstorms, muddy bogs and watnot.

And as sickpup says, if you're left handed/eyed then you've got no option but to shoot it right handed unless you wanna get slammed in the face by the bolt (on the LSW) or hit with the empty cartridge, never heard of them fitting deflectors for the spent rounds. Least on the M16 the cocking lever is on top of the gun.

AK47 for teh win. It's decades old, has survived countless tests on battlefields across just about every continent in every condition and is dirt cheap.

[stinkwheel]

The L85A1 is utter pish. I defy you to pick one up, attach a 30 round clip to it and fire the whole thing on semi-auto without a stoppage. They are overly complex and fragile for an infantry weapon and were made on the cheap. I believe the A2 is improved somewhat.

The LSW is more of the same but is doubly pish because it doesn't carry out the role it was designed for. It is supposed to be a platoon level heavy support weapon. Overwhelming supressing fire with a 30 round clip of 5.56mm? Do me a favour. You want someone to keep their head down, get yourself a GPMG that the LSW was supposed to replace and start spraying overlapping fields of 7.62 on a fixed traverse. Getting too hot? Change the barrel and keep at it.

So my first pick is the GPMG because it does exactly what it says on the tin. With 300 rounds. LOAD. Make ready. 600 yards, automatic fire, at the area to your front... In your own time... carry on.

For a design oddity, the FN PS90.
https://www.lesjones.com/www/images/posts/fn_p90_2.jpg

Target/sniper rifle? Druganov SVD. Refined AK47 firing mechanism, decent barrel, 10 shot semi-auto and 7.62mm.

Meh I could go on for hours and hours about guns.

But if I was to choose just one.

m1911a1 a design which is close to being used for over 100 years, modern 1911 designs are the gunsmiths choice in a firearm when it comes to making a show piece, they look amazing done up, I need say no more.

^^ totally agree.

like the gold ones out of face off, and in the game hitman, with custom grips.


also like the USP and the socom variant.

I have worked all over the uncivilised world, mostly Africa and the Middle East. During my time in these holes I have had to carry various weapons, M16, South African Uzi copie, AK47, various 9mm pistols and other stuff,
I hate guns, I have seen what they do to people, no glamour in them at all. They are made for one reason alone, ripping people to shreds and that aint nice.

Ahhh, this thread is a good place to ask. Can someone explain to me the general male obsession with guns? I don't get it! My BF will happily sit and watch stuff like 'Future Weapons' on Discovery or whatever, whereas I just don't see the appeal. I know they're ingeniously made.... but they're made to inflict pain and death.
I went through a phase when I was a 1st-2nd year film student when I thought guns were cool (which is unusual for a girl!) but I grew out of that pretty quickly, plus I think some of the appeal was that let's face it, I was a student film maker! Tarantino!

I'm with 1930 Ariel (though with no 1st hand experience), I just don't get the huge appeal. Can someone enlighten me?

I wish I knew.

I just like them cos some of them are pretty.
Dunno about the technical stuff at all.

Bit like bikes really, only I've ridden plenty of bikes, but never shot a gun (except a paintball thing at the London Soldier weekend last year)

They're just ... "interesting" - like great white sharks, or snakes: deadly, but fascinating nonetheless.
