Guns

So guns. I love guns I like looking at them and shooting them and thinking about them. I don't think of them as killing machines. Some times i think of people as killing machines but not a gun. I was confused for a while about how to read info about guns and what the different numbers and what not meant. At the bottom i will supply a little info for any one else looking at this who may not know. I dont understand why people think having a gun or using a gun or even getting a thrill out of shooting a gun is so bad. If you are being safe and it makes you happy why not. Also republicans should not be the only people who know how to use them . 


HANDGUNS
1. PISTOL- A pistol differs from a revolver because it uses expanding gass to load the next cartridge.
 2. REVOLVER-I think its obvious why a revolver is a revolver.
 3. DARRINGER- I think these guns are cute and are for close quarters here is one that is very nice to look at .    

    CALIBER- Is the dimension of the cartridge i think usually in mm or 1/100 of an inch. 
and LONG ARMS RIFLE- A gun that us long and cow boys used a lot in the movies. 
weatherby 300 magnum

 "The 300 Weatherby Magnum was introduced to the public in 1948 by Roy Weatherby. The 300 Weatherby Magnum cartridge case itself is nothing more than an improved version of the 300 H&H magnum made by blowing out the full length of the case which then sports a double radius shoulder and a long neck. The 300 Weatherby Magnum is a very powerful cartridge, loaded with a 220 grain bullet and delivering 2 tons of energy at the muzzle you can safely hunt all of the north american game animals and most african game animals. The 300 Weatherby Magnum when loaded with 165 - 180 grain boat tail bullets becomes a very effective long range mountain rifle when going after goats and sheep. The 300 Weatherby Magnum is well known for heavy recoil and will make most average rifleman flinch badly anticipating the recoil, a good idea to keep shooting this rifle accurately is to load down into the 130 grain bullet weight range and do some target practice or varminting as this reduces the recoil tremendously on the 300 Weatherby Magnum."

Taurus 605 .357 Mag.[Image] "Made for the very serious business of self-preservation - the 605 is built to the Taurus Zero Tolerance standard - in design, fabrication, fit and performance. Meaning there is simply no tolerance for parts that do not perform as if someone's life depends on them. Using the powerful .357 Magnum ammo - this quick-draw revolver has plenty of muscle to back it up. Features include fixed sights, crisp single-double action trigger and a transfer bar for added safety."  Fixed sights means that the sight  is not adjustable. Single Double Action. means that when the hammer is not cocked you can pull the trigger and it will cock and fire the pistol. you do not have to cock and fire the pistol with the trigger for every shot because the slide cocks the hammer when it cycles. Transfer Bar- THis is a mechenism that makes it so the hammer does not come in direct contact with the cartridge instead it hits a bar that in turn hits the cartridge. 

The tantō is commonly referred to as a knife or dagger. The blade is single or double edged with a length between 15 and 30 cm (6-12 inches, in Japanese 1 shaku). The tantō was designed primarily as a stabbing weapon, but the edge can be used for slashing as well. Tantō are generally forged in hira-zukuri style (without ridgeline),^[1][6] meaning that their sides have no ridge line and are nearly flat, unlike the shinogi-zukuri structure of a katana. Some tantō have particularly thick cross-sections for armor-piercing duty, and are called yoroi toshi. Tantō were mostly carried by samurai, as commoners did not generally wear them. Women sometimes carried a small tantō called a kaiken^[7] in their obiprimarily for self-defense. Tantō were sometimes worn as the shōtō in place of a wakizashi in a daishō,^[8][9] especially on the battlefield. Before the advent of the wakizashi/tantō combination, it was common for a samurai to carry a tachi and a tantō as opposed to a katana and a wakizashi.^[8]

It has been noted that the tachi would be paired with a tantō and later the uchigatana would be paired with another shorter uchigatana. With the advent of the katana, the wakizashi eventually was chosen by samurai as the short sword over the tantō. Kanzan Satō in his book The Japanese sword notes that there did not seem to be any particular need for the wakizashi and suggests that the wakizashi may have become more popular than the tantō due to the wakizashi being more suited for indoor fighting. He mentions the custom of leaving the katana at the door of a castle or palace when entering while continuing to wear the wakizashi inside

S&W Centennial is a family of 5-shot revolvers made by Smith & Wesson on the "J-Frame". Centennial's feature a fully enclosed hammer, which makes them Double Action Only (DAO) firearms. Like nearly all other "J-frame" Smith & Wesson revolvers, they have a swing-out cylinder. Smith & Wesson manufactures "Centennial" revolvers in .38 Special +P (Models 40, 442 and 642), 9mm Luger (Model 940) and .357 Magnum (Models 340 and 640). Centennial models have been made in different versions like PD "Personal Defense", LS "Lady Smith", and M&P "Military & Police"

this is good to have if you want to fire a gun hidden in a pocket, or under a blanket or something sneaky like that.  The external hammer can get caught on fabric and misfire. 

That is a Beretta .25 with a skeleton grip. The skeleton grip makes it possible to fire the gun with a less than perfect grip as the safety mechanism has been taped down. It is the kind of gun James Bond used. Why use as skeleton grip? The Beretta 950 Jetfire is a backup, self-defense pistol that is intended for undercover agents, police officers or individuals licensed to carry a concealed firearm for self-defense. Its considered a Ladies gun I guess. I think its super cool.
