I just want to thank everyone for their help in letting me achieve my impossible dream. I couldn't have done it without you. You've just... you've all been so good to me and I feel frustrated that I can give back but a fraction of the love you've shown me.

To celebrate post #454 I give you the following cartridge: the .454 Casull.
(http://i.imgur.com/gut8zLf.jpg)
It's an extremely high-pressure round designed specifically for revolvers, and enjoys a bit of popularity for handgun hunters either going after big game or who are restricted by handgun caliber size to something over .45 (namely, rounds with a diameter greater than 0.45 inches) for hunting in their state.
Now peep two guns which shoot it. These are the major two; there are some other manufacturers out there but none of you care.
Taurus Raging Bull (on top of a Best Buy circular for Marley & Me). That porting on the size of the barrel near the muzzle isn't just for show—stand next to one of these things when they fire and you can feel the concussion blast in your sinuses.
(http://i.imgur.com/seFbukP.jpg)
Ruger Super Redhawk. Yeah the barrel looks retarded but it's got an unfluted cylinder and I think unfluted cylinders look awesome on revolvers.

Title: All Right, Nobody Else Heart or Punch Me
Post by: Yossarian on March 06, 2013, 11:29:26 pm
Its preferable to something that would fragment and throw chunks of itself inside the animal, or not kill it right away like a 5.56 might. Granted that's not a round for hunting squirrels.

To celebrate my 500th post, have another gun post thing. This time, of course, I'm showing you the Smith & Wesson 500.
(http://i.imgur.com/MMttNEx.jpg)
The S&W 500 (not to be confused with the S&P 500 (https://www.google.com/finance?cid=626307)) is a double-action revolver developed to fire the—you guessed it!—the .500 S&W Magnum cartridge! In this picture, it's the cartridge all the way on the right.
(http://i.imgur.com/772lJyK.jpg)
The big-game hunting variation was even used in a video game...
(http://i.imgur.com/DqOm4sW.jpg)
...that game being Resident Evil 5.
(http://i.imgur.com/k7WXsbY.jpg)
The round and the revolver both went on the market in 2003, and aside from curiosity, novelty, and the occasional moron trying to look like a badass, it hasn't made much of a splash.
This may be due to its insane recoil...
(http://i.imgur.com/yQpOjAg.jpg)
...or the fact that a single cartridge costs nearly two dollars at the cheapest...
(http://i.imgur.com/tf1LEV4.png)
...or that it has the nasty habit (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SIArhxHVZmM) of double firing (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C4OE78spknk) when you limp-wrist the recoil... who knows?
The important thing that it is a big gun with big bullets that make a big boom.

I have a couple of questions, if you don't mind. One, at what number of posts will you run out of gun references? Two, how is four-ten a reference to shotguns? When I mentioned to my psych teacher that 4'10" was my height, he immediately dubbed me "Shotgun" and refused to call me anything else, and I certainly never complained, but I never got it, either. I would have figured it was because I'm loud and blunt, but it was specifically the height thing.

Post #762 will be a doozy, but after that I'd probably have to stretch to exotic whiz-bang cartridges or get contrived through the use of gun model numbers. We'll find out together!
Two, how is four-ten a reference to shotguns? When I mentioned to my psych teacher that 4'10" was my height, he immediately dubbed me "Shotgun" and refused to call me anything else, and I certainly never complained, but I never got it, either. I would have figured it was because I'm loud and blunt, but it was specifically the height thing.
"Four-ten" refers to .410 bore, a shotgun chambering. How "bore" in shotguns differs from "caliber" in firearms with rifled barrels is that the shotgun shell itself is measured from inner wall to inner wall (the space the shot occupies), but for rifles and pistols, only the bullet is measured. This is why a .410 bore shotgun shell fits flush into the cylinder of a .45 Long Colt revolver.
Here's the size of a .410 shell (left) next to a 12-gauge shell (right).
(http://i.imgur.com/ORGhzJX.jpg)
.410 is a popular chambering for youth shotguns and killing animal pests too small to warrant using anything more powerful. It's the second most popular shotgun chambering behind 12-gauge, with 20-gauge in third place.
(http://i.imgur.com/bB6uBlr.jpg)
Taurus and Smith & Wesson have both come out with retarded smoothbore revolvers for stupid people which chambers the .410 in a convenient flipper-baby package which serves no purpose other than being a dumb gun only a buttface would want to own.

Because "automatic shotgun". Like I wonder how hard it would be to rechamber a MAC-10 to handle .410 shotgun shells, because that would be a completely idiotic gun that'd be a lot of fun to dismantle junk with at a backyard firing range.

The MAC-10 design wouldn't lend itself at all to firing .410 shells. Rechambering one is the least of what would have to be done to make it work. Just sitting here thinking about it I've pretty much concluded you'd just have to design and build a gun from the ground up, and when you were done it wouldn't at all look like a MAC-10 anyway so perhaps it'd just be better considering an alternative gun which can sling .410 out of the box.
The Saiga 410 is semi-automatic, but that's still pretty good, right? Being a much larger round than the .45 ACP or 9mm that MAC-10s use, the clip capacity tops out at about 15, though. Pictured above is only a 5-round clip.

To commemorate me posting over seven hundred and sixty-two times in this forum, let's talk about the 7.62mm cartridge.
Now, as we all know, there are many, many rounds with a bullet diameter of 7.62mm. This also happens to be the measurement of .30 caliber! Without a doubt, the 7.62mm rounds ruled the 20th century, and only in the past 30 or so years has there even been much effort to move away from them in service rifles.
Towards the beginning of the 20th century, we had World War I. During this war the US service rifle was the M1903 Springfield. What did it shoot? Why, .30-06 Springfield ("thirty aught six"), measuring 7.62×63mm.
(http://i.imgur.com/l9XYQbF.jpg)
Here's a picture of .30-06 packed into an en-bloc clip for use in another famous rifle...
(http://i.imgur.com/xs5bi2x.jpg)
... the M1 Garand, the US service rifle in World War II. The Garand featured semi-automatic operation in a battlefield still dominated by bolt-action mechanisms.
(http://i.imgur.com/wQQgovE.jpg)
The US wasn't the only country using 7.62-diameter bullets, though! The Soviets had the 7.62×54R for their standard-issue rifles. Remember, folks: the "R" stands for "rimmed," not "Russian." That's a common misconception, but now you know!
(http://i.imgur.com/ABJRO7I.jpg)
The 7.62×54R was the Soviet Union's full-size cartridge, used in the ubiquitous and dirt-cheap Mosin Nagant.
(http://i.imgur.com/DKP0t1M.jpg)
It's still in use today by the Russian Federation, most notably in the Dragunov marksman rifles...
(http://i.imgur.com/XpCjPyJ.jpg)
...and the PKM medium machine gun.
(http://i.imgur.com/PivND1q.png)
The Soviets also developed the 7.62×25mm pistol round for use in their WWII-era TT-33 pistols.
(http://i.imgur.com/2n2ZV8l.jpg)
There's the boolet, and here's the pistol:
(http://i.imgur.com/CcXCs7G.jpg)
The TT-33 design was widely copied throughout the USSR, with each child nation making their own versions of the same basic pattern.
What discussion of 7.62mm would be complete without the 7.62×39mm round? In the postwar period, the intermediate cartridge began to rule the day, and this round is more or less what ushered it in.
The 7.62×39mm feeds a couple of obscure guns you probably haven't heard of, like, oh I don't know, the SKS...
(http://i.imgur.com/LcF0QNh.jpg)
...and the AK-47 and its more-prevalent offshoot, the AKM.
(http://i.imgur.com/6Pg3Sw5.jpg)
And, just for Montrith, the Finnish Rk-62 also uses the 7.62×39mm!
(http://i.imgur.com/TTRfAkU.jpg)
But wait! There's also .30 Carbine!
(http://i.imgur.com/kl2HPeY.jpg)
This round didn't get too much love, but its dimensions are 7.62×33mm, and it was used in the M1 Carbine as an alternative to the Garand for soldiers who needed less weight and more mobility in the course of their duties.
(http://i.imgur.com/QUK0qkH.jpg)
The western nations had their own 7.62mm round, though! Here is the 7.62×51mm NATO cartridge, or simply 7.62 NATO. Its dimensions are identical to that of the civilian-market .308 Winchester round, but very minor differences in headspacing and powder charges mean that the .308 and the 7.62 NATO are not 100% interchangeable, though most modern guns which can shoot one can shoot the other with no problems.
(http://i.imgur.com/8UpNioc.jpg)
Pretty much all you need to know about this one is that it was used in the FN FAL, legendary among militaries. It goes by the names "the first black rifle" for widespread use of polymer furniture and "the right arm of the free world" for its ubiquity in western-European nations and the countries which received arms shipments from them. The FAL is still in use in many former colonies of Great Britain and France.
(http://i.imgur.com/cxacQIY.jpg)
The US made their own 7.62 NATO weapon, the M14. While it only had a short stint as a standard-issue rifle until the arrival of the 5.56mm and the M16, it does enjoy a place on the modern battlefield as a designated marksman rifle.
(http://i.imgur.com/Mr1D5uB.jpg)
The 7.62 NATO was also used in the M60 light machine gun...
(http://i.imgur.com/2bfrMaz.jpg)
...and its modernized replacement, the M240B, commonly called the "Bravo" in the US military.

As a bonus I will close with an illustration of the dangers of home gunsmithing.

You might find this funny. In high-school, I went to hang out at a friend of mine's house, and he started to very excitedly tell me that he'd just purchased a real, honest-to-God M1 Garand at a yard sale. He showed me the rifle; when he handed it to me, I flipped it over, and low and behold there was a clip well on the bottom. When I pointed this out, my friend didn't see what the problem was.
My friend was an idiot.
Title: All Right, Nobody Else Heart or Punch Me
Post by: Isfahan on April 30, 2013, 03:32:26 am
So your friend bought a semi-automatic rifle? At high-school age? At a yard sale? I'm pretty sure two or three illegal things happened there. And he didn't even know what rifle he was buying? If the looks confused him then it must have been a Springfield Armory M1A or some other M14 clone, but those are expensive. There's also the possibility he bought a cheap but shitty Auto-Ordnance M1 Carbine, which shares the M1 designation but is radically different. Both of those guns use detachable clips.
I'll refer you to the photos I used in the previous post. Did the rifle look more like this...

Fucking brace for it; my friend got held back I think twice, and this was right around when we graduated, so he was probably of legal age.
The bottom one more than the top, but my recollection's not great because this was, good God, a decade ago. You'll also enjoy this; he didn't get a clip with the rifle, and he didn't test-fire it before he bought it, so he didn't even know if it worked or was safe to fire at all. I think whoever he bought that rifle from just had an old rifle laying around, and when he saw that fucking brain surgeon walk up, he figured he had cash in hand.
Oh, God, I remember his SKS, too. He had an SKS that he bolted all kinds of shit to. It had a flashlight, a scope, a bipod and a bayonet. All on it at the same time. And I seem to recall that he handed it too me with the barrel pointed at me.
That guy was amazing. He also bought out storage-units that where past-due. Sometimes they had guns in 'em, so he got him a stack of pistols that way. He stored them loaded (in the cases he found them in, but unlocked) in a stack of shit he shoved in his closet. I went shooting with him once; once was all it took, without going into the gory details, this was not a guy who practiced great range safety.

Sounds like he's on track to blow off a finger, and I can only hope that finger doesn't belong to someone else.
Tapco'd SKSes are a special breed of abomination and misunderstanding of why rifles are designed the way they are. For the price of an SKS and then all of the shitty injection-molded plastic crap and horrid non-feeding clips and generic scopes not marked for the ballistics of the round and whatnot, you could just purchase a proper Kalashnikov, which is apparently what the Tapco SKS purchaser wanted in the first place.
AR-15-style collapsible buttstocks on rifles which don't have a buffer tube is just the worst.

Most of the dudes who are anti-bacon aren't looking for a snappy gun, they're looking for something cheap and effective and functional. AK-something, that should do it, they're everywhere and from what I recall, have a reputation of being essentially bulletproof (ha ha).
A person who wants a gun-barbied-up SKS or whatever-the-hell is also the sort of dude that'd write elaborate screeds extolling the virtues of bacon. So give 'em what they want--a stupid gun, coated in stupid bacon, charge 'em obscene prices and make up some story about how it's thermal jacketing or something.
One more thing: "Smoke added" products are basically given a light spritzing of creosote after being cooked. That's basically what it is, chemically speaking. "Tac-bac" is seriously of the devil.

I'm really afraid to ask how much that much gun costs.
Isfahan, have you ever fired two guns whilst jumping through the air? Failing that, have you ever fired one gun whilst jumping through the air?

That's unsafe too—uh, the firing-a-gun-into-the-air-part, not the going-aaaaa part. I've gone "aaaaa" before.

Since the idea was brought up in the Sherlock episode, have you ever fucked someone up the ass with a loaded gun? How safe would that be?
Edit: If you don't answer in detail I swear I'll heart or punch you. One of the two; I'll decide with a coin flip.

No. Since the answer is "no," I'm not really sure how much more detailed I can be.
As for how safe it would be, well... it wouldn't be safe, even if you didn't fire the gun once it was up the ass. To put it another way, it would be about as safe as jamming any other large metal object up an ass.

To paraphrase the late, great Victor Borge, never stick something up your ass unless you are sure you can get it back out again.

I'm not sure, but there's no revolver out there right now who could lift you up bodily by shooting it downwards. Besides, the human wrist transfers force poorly, and a revolver of sufficient force to lift you off the ground would instead just take your whole hand off and send that up into the air.

Simple physics, brosef.
Let's give you a mass of 70 kilos. (This is for simplicity's sake, but it gives you a mass of about ~160 lbs or so, for reference's sake, for you non-metric weirdos out there.)
My reference bullet is a .38 jacketed hollowpoint, which according to wikipedia has a mass of 7 grams and an muzzle velocity of 300 m/s. If you fired that gun straight down, using some simple conservation of momenum, you'd be launched upwards with a net velocity of .03 m/s and an airtime of .006 seconds, presuming you were a perfectly rigid body. (Insert your favourite boner joke here.)
Let's just assume you want a little hop. 1 m/s will get you around 0.2 seconds of airtime, just a little bip--and about 20 cm of height. Assuming the same general properties of that .38 jacketed hollowpoint bullet, the bullet would need to have a mass 33.3 times greater than before--233 grams, or nearly half a pound. If you kept the bullet's general proportions roughly the same, it would be 1.22 calibre.
I frikkin' love stupid math tricks.

O fuk Isfahan has 1911 posts? YOU KNOW WHAT TIME IT IS
(http://i.imgur.com/tJgEYTM.jpg)
The M1911 pistol was designed in—you guessed it—1911 by John Moses Browning and originally produced by Colt. It served as the US military's service pistol for over 70 years, with it still in service today, over 100 years later (though not as the primary issue pistol, as it was phased out for the 9mm Beretta M9 pistol in 1985). Improvements to the design arrived during the interwar period as reports from soldiers revealed several ergonomics and safety issues with the pistol, particularly for shooters with large hands, and in 1924 the M1911A1 became more or less the design still used and loved to this day.
Aside from the desert-beige moly resin coating, the laminate hey-look-at-me grips, the commander-style hammer, the forward slide serrations, and the accessory rail (RRRAILZZZ), this pistol is still recognizable by its 100-year-old silhouette.

The M1911 fires the .45ACP cartridge. It was designed specifically with the M1911 in mind: after all, the "ACP" stands for "Automatic Colt Pistol."
(http://i.imgur.com/jvyt6dK.jpg)
Here it is again in a size comparison with other popular cartridges. The .45ACP is the short fat fucker in the middle.
(http://i.imgur.com/y89l7SX.jpg)
The .45ACP round has advantages and disadvantages. For one thing, in terms of bullet speed it's a very slow round—normal propellant loads for a .45 will not be able to get it to supersonic speed. As a naturally subsonic round, however, the .45 lends itself well to suppressed firearms. Being a fat, heavy bullet, the .45 bleeds its energy more quickly than many other pistol bullets, though extremely close up it hits very hard and suffers less from overpenetration that smaller, faster bullets might have to worry about. The .45's notable stopping power is offset by its size, which limits firearms like the 1911 to a relatively low clip capacity, especially given its slim grip design will only accept clips with the .45ACP cartridges seated directly atop one another in a single-stack configuration. Of course, double-stack 1911s have been made to address the low-capacity problem, but .45 is still a heavy round and its fatty-fat-fatness destroys some of the ergonomics of the pistol, as seen here:

That's a double-stack 1911 at the top, and they are only comfortable to shoot if you have freakish gorilla hands.

That doesn't count because, if I understand correctly, at any given moment there is about a fifty-fifty chance that Jack Chick is spamming metal links at someone. As a Dread Priest of Metal I'm pretty sure he has advanced far enough in the favor of his Dark Lord that he can now subsitute spamming metal links for sleep.
I'm into metal too you know...
