|
| | Hello. I am a longtime user of the site. I have remained semi-active on the forums but I haven't worked much on site pages in a number of years. I have however recently decided to offer contributions to the site. I will mostly work on discussions and identifications of firearms as I come across them in my normal observation of movies, TV, and videogames. |

|
| | I am not as accomplished as a lot of other members on the site, but I have worked on pages in the past. I mostly lurk the forums, but I have decided to get back into helping with pages via page discussions and perhaps the new page here and there. |

| '''Model 1911 A1 .45 Automatic:'''
| |

| If you don't like this firearm, you need to quit studying, or you better have a reason other than "it's too plain." You can shave one down for concealed carry, or you can turn it into a carbine. They have models which fire everything from .22 to .50 Caliber bullets, with different internal and external parts to fit your shooting curve. Don't like the safety? Get another one. Trigger's tough? Adjust it. Jams? It shouldn't. If it does, fix your extractor/ejector, or your stance accordingly. Hammer snag? Get a bobbed one. You can do ANYTHING to one. It's been tested in combat and competition and has proven itself in both. Screw Glock and Beretta, this is the greatest handgun of ALL TIME.
| |
| | |
| I personally like the older Colt ones (for the name mostly), the Commanders, and even the Para P14-45 in Stainless. Nowadays, though, Springfields are the best for the money.
| |
| | |
| '''Smith & Wesson "Classic" Automatics:'''
| |
| | |
| [[Image:S&W5906LateModel.jpg|thumb|none|500px|I have one in this configuration. When I saw Tom Cruise use this gun in [[Collateral]] I got all giddy. Take ''that'', USP! ]]
| |
| | |
| I like the the 59 series and 3rd Generations. They are not very recognized, but they will work all day, everyday, no problem. Combat accuracy, bluing for class, or stainless steel for duty. They get the job done.
| |
| | |
| '''Colt Python .357 Magnum:'''
| |
| | |
| [[Image:Colt-Python.jpg|thumb|none|500px|I'd opt for a 4 inch barrel model over a 6 inch because the 4 is more versatile, though a 6 inch is fine for targets and collecting.]]
| |
| | |
| Aside from it's flawless aesthetics, it's got the smoothest action of any revolver I have handled. Colt is renowned for this, and the Python itself, as well they should.
| |
| | |
| '''Smith & Wesson Revolvers:'''
| |
| | |
| [[Image:S&W25.jpg|thumb|none|500px|This is a Model 25 which is quite underplayed. It's a lot more practical that a Model 29, in that it's actually possible to have decent follow up shots with good stopping power. Ironic that they made a Smith chambered in a Colt cartridge, but hey, practically every other revolver cartridge is an invention of Smith & Wesson.]]
| |
| | |
| These gun do the duties the Python is too ritzy to do. Colt revolvers are delicate, beautiful, and elegant. Smiths are beaters that you can shoot without a hitch. The actions are tougher, but so are the guns. If they're good enough for Jerry Miculek, they're good enough for you and I. My favorite models are the 15, 19, 25, 27, 28, 29, 36, 60, 66, 581, 586, 681, 686, basically the popular ones. Can't go wrong with Smith & Wesson, baby!
| |
| | |
| ==Favorite Long guns (in no particular order)==
| |
| | |
| '''AK-47 7.62x39mm:'''
| |
| | |
| [[Image:AK-47.jpg|thumb|none|500px|It's a crying shame I'll never be able to get one of the Russian hybrids like this one, or even a Milled one. Damn import laws.]]
| |
| | |
| As far as the AK/M16 argument goes, I am on the AK's side, hands down, or hands up rather. Accuracy does not mean a damn thing if your gun WILL NOT FIRE. No, it's not an accurate rifle, and you might not hit someone in excess of 100 yards, or be able to kill them at 300, but it's not meant for long range, it's meant for putting as many rounds down range as humanly and mechanically possible. It is a machinegun, and a killing weapon first, and a rifle and target tapper second. If I have to have one feature in a firearm, it's extreme workmanship, and not how far it can reach out and touch someone.
| |
| | |
| '''M16-A1 5.56x45mm:'''
| |
| | |
| [[Image:Colt_Model_733.jpg|thumb|none|500px|This is an M16A1 mocked up as a Model 733, or rahter just a Model 733 since they're all built on whatever can be found. When the zombies come, I want one of these.]]
| |
| | |
| Yes, it has a bad reputation, but it's got personality a plenty. Your dad carried this black menace in 'Nam. Hell, it might have been you. Though it might not work, it does a decent job when it does. Accuracy, lightweight, and lower recoil make it a decent killing gun. Granted the 5.56 round is not too hot, it's designed to apply the maximum amount of damage without a fatality. Thanks NATO. Why kill the guy when you can get him on the floor and have two medics drag him to safety, where he'll most likely bleed out? Politically correct murder, in a triangular plastic and metal mechanical mediocrity. God Bless America.
| |
| | |
| Right now I'd get a Model 733 because I like the shorter barrel's versatility. I'd have to build one myself though, because no one makes this configuration.
| |
| | |
| '''Remington 870 Series:'''
| |
| | |
| [[Image:Remington870NewModel.jpg|thumb|none|500px|I can't wait to buy one of these buggers.]]
| |
| | |
| Namely the Marine Magnum. Seven shells, tight build, lustrous finish, and you can toss it into seawater and it doesn't care. Throw a surefire on as the foregrip and we have us a premium pumper.
| |
| | |
| '''Benelli M4:'''
| |
| | |
| [[Image:Benelli m4 2.jpg|thumb|none|500px|If you can afford it, buy one of these things.]]
| |
| | |
| The sights on it are to die for, and 7+1 is fantastic. Nothing beats this semiautomatic shotgun.
| |
| | |
| '''Remington 700 Series'''
| |
|
| |
|
| [[Image:Remington_700_BDL.jpg|thumb|none|500px|My buddy has one of these from the '60 and he's a crack shot at 200 yards. I'd love one of these buggers for showing off how big of a douchebag sniper guy I am, heheheheh. Those people who ruin the pride of sniping aside, I like snipers, so no offense fellas.]]

| Accurate Bolt Action Sniper Rifle with a legendary bolt and proper aesthetics. If I'm sniping, I'm probably using this.

| [[Image:1911WideSpur.png|thumb|none|500px|This is my Springfield GI 1911 A1, though it's more like a Parkerized Series 70 than a GI or WWII model.
