Gunsmithing (no politics)
GarandMarine:
Holy fuck. That's a cool find Noxx!
ankhtahr:
Huh. It seems like I'll be getting my father's Röhm RG96, a blank replica of the H&K USP. Probably the closest to a real gun I'll ever hold in my hands. As my interest is mainly in the technical aspects, I don't mind that it doesn't propel bullets.
GarandMarine:
That's pretty cool actually. What... is it for? If you don't mind me asking.
ankhtahr:
Well, the purpose they're sold for is self defense. Having a blank fired in your face is supposed to be very disorienting. Also it looking like a real firearm might scare somebody off.
I'm sceptical about that.
What most people use them for is fireworks on new years eve. That is the only day of the year where you're allowed to light fireworks, and if you're on private property then using a blank firing pistol is allowed as well. Blank firing pistols actually come with a launching cup for signalling ammunition over here.
They're also of interest for collectors, as owning a real firearm is very strictly regulated.
Grognard:
off to the sight in range tomorrow.
bringing the inventory, sans the handguns and .22
* I hope I don't get pulled over. but if you hear about somebody arrested on I-95 with an arsenal.........
here is a serious question: will having holes tapped to mount slings affect my shotgun's accuracy?
I really don't think so, but the Son asked. I've never had slings done before: what do y'all think?
