Escapist Firepower

[Lemon Of Life]

We have some air guns, but nothing big. We have a hatchet, a chainsaw and many knives though, I reckon you could do some damage with those

Depends on what you're hunting, and the ranges of the shots you have to take. People use them for elk in the western US (the Rocky Mountains), and I don't think i would feel comfortable hunting grizzly bears with anything smaller.

Huh, I imagined a .50 bullet would completely ruin the meat.
And shouldn't you be able to take out bears with regular hunting rifles?

No. You'd just piss one off with a small caliber rifle.

i own a CZ 452 .22 long rifle. im also going to to be buying a 12 or possibly a 20 gauge benelli or remington pump.

TO MY CANADIAN RIFLE/SHOTGUN OWNERS HERE ON THE ESCAPIST: parliament is voting on scrapping the long guns registry!!!!! cross your fingers it gets scrapped!

im fairly certain bb guns dont come in "calibres" as far as i know, bb guns ( all ) use compressed air. but if someone is to prove me wrong, so be it. .....but im darn sure about my statement.

Kitchen knives, swiss army knives, and a crowbar... nothing special, welcome to england

I have a small caliber BB gun back at the parents. All I have here is a knife I made myself. I'm actually quite proud of it Lemme see if I can get a picture of it some time.

My stepdad owns a Persuader 590 Shotgun, A semi-automatic AR-15, and a couple handguns whose type I cannot recall.

The AR-15 is called Alice.

No firearms, but I do have a small amount of things that could work as improvised weapons, like a fist-sized chunk of quartz and a slab of malachite the size of a medium book. I also have a Swiss Army knife above my desk.

Edit: Here's the malachite:

Yes, one would think it would ruin the meat, but i didn't say I used one for hunting. And yes, you are able to take a bear with a regular rifle, and I could take one with my .270, but all I said was I dont think I'd feel comfortable using anything smaller on bears, not that you couldn't.

Mine actually uses a spring I think. It fires .177 pellets, which are apparently good for pest control... doesn't .177 signify a caliber? I'm not that big a connoiseur

It's okay I won't tell anyone

My most powerful gun is a Winchester Model 70 chambered in .30-06, however, I couldn't go without mentioning my tacticooled WASR-10 (Romainian AK47 varient).

Spoiler: Here's a picture

Just this

 

[Kwaren]

I was reading through a reloading magazine and a thought struck me. What kind of firepower does the Escapist pack?

It isn't my only gun but it is my biggest. It's my Noreen .50BMG single shot rifle with a x22 scope. This isn't a pic of it, but it is the same model.

Spoiler

Just curious; what do you need/use the gun for?
Is it only for fun?

I got it just for the hell of having a .50 and making fruit and prairie dogs explode. There is no such thing as overkill.

Firepower? Not a lot truth be told. I have a Springfield XD Sub-Compact (.40 S&W). I have owned other firearms in the past but when I decided I only had the two hands, I figured I should choose the best compromise between stopping power and size.

I also have a handful of legitimate (i.e. combat worthy) swords that I won in various fencing tournmanents. Strangely, even though I fence foil, not a single one of these was a small sword, dueling epee, rapier or court sword but rather a few examples of sabres and what I suspect is a very small incarnation of a katana (it's blade only measures 37" - a mere one inch longer than that of a foil - hardly requires the use of two hands I'd say).
