Q: Pistol, rifle, or AK47?

Which has served you best.

Also, while I have your attention: what is the best way of putting out a lit fuse wire?

Obviously all have their uses in general, but the pistol is the only one that's really useful for metropolitan civilian life. Owning a gun will rarely ever protect you from crime if you don't carry it on your person at all times, and that's simply not practical in the vast majority of cases.

The rifle is probably better if you live way out in the sticks though, since you can use it for pest control and hunting far more effectively than a pistol. Better range, accuracy, and stopping power makes for cleaner kills.

@BlueVeins I have a .38 snub nose revolver and a concealed carry license because I live in an urban environment. Havent had to use it yet, but I have shown it to get a guy to stop following me once.
BlueVeins · 22-25
@Straylight Yeah, definitely a good thing to have. It's one of those things where it's very rare to need, but when you need it, you [i]really[/i] need it... 😬 Personally, I'll probably go for a pepperball gun when I get the chance just because I like the functionality a little more.
Straylight · 31-35, F
@BlueVeins Yeah, I've seen those.

@BlueMetalChick lol re the potatoes and windows, this takes me back soooo many friggin years to when I was 12, my first Russian lesson. I was named ‘Slava’, and invited numerous times to answer the question “Shto eta?” (pointing at the classroom window). “Eta okno!!” says I triumphantly. I actually went on one of the first post (?) Cold War school trips to Leningrad (now renamed back to the original St Petersburg of course) and Moskva. I got arrested for jay walking, had all my chocolate bars taken out of my suitcase, and I could have sold my jeans 4 times over. Happy days? Probably.

@BlueMetalChick I was also toying with these for profile size. [image deleted][image deleted]

@Straylight I recognize that second image because it actually used to be my phone wallpaper when I was in community college 😂😂

Ak’s are notoriously inaccurate . For close up I would prefer our UMP45 . It’s full auto and suppressed . It’s so fun to shoot
Valentine · M
@TexChik ....tell me, do you sing, look beautiful and play country geetar, by any chance?? Any two will do, btw. If so, Alright if I pop over and buy you dinner?... 🤓
TexChik · F
@Valentine I don’t sing, unless we are calling coyotes . I sound like a dying rabbit . No guitar . Hubby thinks I’m pretty 😁
Valentine · M
@TexChik ahhhh, there was the killer word... “Hubby”. My guess is he’s got lots of guns too, and doesn’t care too much for English types sidling up to his missus, [i]especially[/i] when he’s called [i]Valentine [/i].... Take care now, y’all 🤠

@Dlrannie How would I recognise you?

@Nimbus Knowing I’m 5’9” and usually wear 1950’s dresses might help 😂😂🙂😘

I carried a pistol most every day for 45 years, served my country, my community and me well. I carried a rifle some during that time as well. The rifle helps feed me even now. I have no use for an AK, but do own two AR's that have served me well too.

I have no idea how to put a fuse out...cut the lit part off and let it burn out away from the explosive.
Valentine · M
@bowman81 Thank you bowman.

Re the fuse addendum: You understand I was talking metaphorically, worrying in advance about asking such a Q... 😂😂😂
FreeSpirit1 · 51-55, F
I have a pistol and a rifle.
Only shot the rifle while hunting and only shot the pistol at the range, so they served me well.
Spit in it the stomp on it
Valentine · M
@FreeSpirit1 ok. I’ve got it now. [Repeats many times] I am a man of action. I [i]am [/i]a man of action. [i]I [/i]am a man of action. I am a[i]man[/i] of action. Yayyyyyy. Got it!! 😊😇 🤦‍♀️
FreeSpirit1 · 51-55, F
@Valentine boom
Valentine · M
[image deleted]My dream gun....and case of course !!!
BlueMetalChick · 26-30, F
@MarmeeMarch True, there's the grandfathering in of the older ones.
@BlueMetalChick Not grandfathering - you can buy them legally - however they are expensive 8 to 15 K for one... And like I said you need the right permits..
BlueMetalChick · 26-30, F
@MarmeeMarch Yeah that makes sense, I know some of those older guns can be really expensive to buy. Or the precision ones. Shit like PGM Hecate or PSG-1 sub minute-of-angle rifles cost a fortune.
4meAndyou · F
Well, I do like to rifle through my drawers when I've lost something. And I've been told that I'm a pistol. But I detest that AK sound...AKAKAK...sounds like my cat bringing up a hairball...😹😹😹
Valentine · M
@4meAndyou Lol...admit it my friend....you don’t know the first bally thing about ‘guns’, do you... fur balls, cats and an AK47 all in the same oblique sentence. Mary Poppins would have said such.... 🤦‍♀️ (Tee hee!! 🤫)
4meAndyou · F
@Valentine 😂I am an expert on rifling...as I told you...and as MAF would tell you, I know absolutely EVERYTHING about EVERYTHING!! 😂 And you said [i]nothing[/i] about guns...but I am a pistol, for sure!!! 😂
Valentine · M
@4meAndyou You’re lovely. 🥰😘😍❤️🤗
Straylight · 31-35, F
I like my revolver because I have a concealed carry permit, so I can bring it most places.
BlueMetalChick · 26-30, F
@Straylight And this is why we need to draft common sense Nerf reform 😂

No lie though Nerf guns are a ton of fun.
Straylight · 31-35, F
@BlueMetalChick They have gatling guns and shit. I didnt get this stuff when I was a kid.
Valentine · M
@Straylight CCW. *note to self* don’t mess with Straylight.... 😳
Pistol for protection, rifle for hunting.

RPG and M4!

Let's kill some terrorists!

🙂
BlueMetalChick · 26-30, F
@SoLeRiMix You misunderstand me. I have far, far more hatred and aggression towards terrorists than you do. I grew up around terrorists, not peaceful people. What I'm trying to tell you is that if you want to stop terrorists, then stop giving them money and weapons. Stop funding them, stop arming them, stop being their friend.

A Purdey 12 gauge does a good job and it is classy too especially if it is a heritage one.

I have a Bow and 14 hunting arrows and hit what I aim at.
Valentine · M
@Thevy29 Yeahhhhh, just like I was Champion of England at Archery.....
Valentine · M
@Thevy29 ....you didn’t come back to me. I was in truth England Archery Champion. I too can hit a tennis ball off a stump at 10-15 feet. I did once anyway. 😎
Thevy29 · 41-45, M
@Valentine Oh, I wasn't sure if you were being serious or not.. A tennis ball off a stump at 10-15 feet you say. Not bad shooting. How are you when the target is a might further. Say 75 metres?
SW-User
I have a pistol and rifle. I was going to get a shotgun but then my friends stopped going to the range.

I kind of fell out of shooting as well.

@Harriet03 Thanks. I supposed I sort of got it, but couldn’t quite believe some would get a sexual pleasure out of them. Though, now thinking about it, I can see many common features, firing bullets, firing blanks, locked and loaded, lubricating the barrel, ooooo, I geddit!!!
