Ask a gun owner something.

I suppose, I guess a little bayonet doesn't weigh much.

^ yep you're not going to cut yourself on it when it's folded back or anything either.

Slightly more of a game design preferences question.

If you played a game that was very tactics-focused and meant to be very realistic, would you personally mind if the guns involved were in no way based on real life counterparts and didn't even look mechanically possible? (say, some sort of ergonomically-designed shoulder-mounted assault rifle with a scope on the left side)
I just ask because this does occasionally seem to be the rationale for games like Call of Duty to use real guns like the classic M4A1, AK47, P90, etc.

no, i actually like seeing outlandish gun designs although i'd prefer they be somewhat feasible haha.
i don't see why a game has to be realistic just because the weapons are rendered realistically lol. that's often just a style choice?

Not really, its just a game

However, if they base the firearm on a real world firearm then it should approximate the firearm its based upon.

Seriously though why do you own a gun?Is it for hunting or self defence or a different reason?

All the above.
I live 10 miles from the nearest town, police response is 30 mins, calling the cops is not an option out here.

You can also call it a hobby of sorts, its great fun to practice shooting, its really very difficult to shoot accurately.

On the accuracy topic. Do you remeber how accurate you were the first time you fired a gun.

I remeber when i fisrt fired one, me and my step father went down to some old gravel pits and set up a couple of glass bottles. At 20 meters i fired 2 shots out of a Sig P210 (im pretty sure thats what it was) and went just over the bottle and just under the bottle. We would keep shooting but the cops were called.

Second time we went to a shooting range and it was gun nut paradice. We had about 3 .22 rifles, a russian AK-47 built in 1949 before China started mass producing them, a great classic gun, a ar-15, and 2 different double barrels. AT 100 meters i hit 92% of my shots o na 6 inch disk open sight.

That was a good day.

I am a gun enthusiast of my own sort.
I hunt,shoot targets, and the like.
I would just like to know your opinion.
Is there a feasible reason to own a Desert Eagle?

Claiming to be an ornithologist should work.
