My new toy..., Here's mine, let's see your's... Options

[confucious]

my dad has that gun, and it takes it everywhere.

it rubs the lotion on its skin it does this whenever its told

[Mynzeyes]

not bad, but you completly missed the target 11 times, lol. Oh and what I found out to be helpful is dont lock your arms (unless its the desert eagle cuz then the gun will kick back and hit you in the face) lol. Last time I went shooting i had a casing discharge right inbetween my eyes, had a halfmoon shaped cut. Oh and if you ever get serious about shooting, you might wanna get a gun with a longer barrel, makes it more accurate. My p22 is 'fairly' accurate, but I wouldnt put my life on it 2 hit a target. Its got a 3.5" barrel, and I got the 5" conversion also.

well, a couple of those are double-hits. it's hard to see in the pic, but i did miss a few times. but again, first day with my handgun. kinda excited, and 50' isn't exactly a walk in the park. i'll get better though. .

My dad has one of those... he's asked me if I want it when he dies. I'm assuming that its worth taking?

[BlackCelicaGT94]

desert eagle? heck yes its worth taking!

[saleeka]

this is such a lame question I know, but what exactly is a desert eagle?

Edit- nevermind, thanks google... On another note, i would love to know why my dad even has a "hand cannon" in the first place...

look at the 2nd pic on the 1st page, thats a 50. cal desert eagle, i'll do a compairison later so you can see how big it really is. Its not really a handgun, its more of a personal cannon, lol. But ya Myn, you did do pretty decent for still being 'new' to shooting. Whats fun to do is setup a target at about 25 ft. away, and make little red dots in certain places on the body to see if you can hit em. I like close range targets better than long range, simply because handguns arent made to be long range weapons.

Yeah, I vaguly remember how big it was from when my dad had it out of the gun safe when I was a kid. What did stick out in my memory was how heavy it was...

[Mynzeyes]

Yeah, the desert eagle is quite a bastard. i've never seen one in person, but, they are intimidating enough in pictures. i never realized they were different cal's though, i thought it was just 50cal. anyway, i'd love to get my hands on one some day, just to shoot. how long is the barrel on that thing blood, and what does the clip hold?

oh, and blood, this is at 50', just because the range literally 2mins from my work is that length. it's indoors, so they kind of want you to put it against the wall, or near the wall, so that the round goes into the collectors, etc. so, until i head to the country to my granddad's land, i'll be working semi-long range.

the heavier the gun the less kickback
unless the bullets coming out are getting heavier at a greater rate

[saleeka]

I read this off of wikipedia's listing for desert eagle-

"A popular misconception with the Desert Eagle is its recoil. Many assume it has an unforgiving kickback due to its high caliber and large size; however the Desert Eagle's recoil itself is not the main problem, since the weapon's weight actually softens the impact of the discharge. The slide on the weapon fires back violently and resumes its original position with authority (the "click" and "clack"), which produces the harsh recoil-like action."

[ScoobyDooCruiser]

Smith and Wesson, .38+p Airlight revolver, made of aluminum and titanium. Mine is a little dif from the pic, its hammerless, but other than that the same.


Thats mine. I like it cause its the lightest .38 revolver on the markey. 11.2 oz. I like it cause its really light for backpacking. The downside- the kick is pretty harsh, and after 15-20 rounds it starts to get uncomfortable (its rated for +p, but I don't have the guts (or hands) to fire it like that).

ya thats pretty true, but you cant deny the raw power. The barrel is i would guess about 10 or 11 inches, i'll measure it when i get home, cocked back like I had it is about 13 to 14. The gun weighs 5 lbs, and its a 7 round clip. The bullets are about 2 inchs long and they have a little bit larger diameter than a marble. So myn, If you ever come down here towards Miami let me know, we'll go shooting one day. My only advice if you get the chance 2 shoot the DE is lock your arm and have a sturdy stance. My friends gf shot it and almost fell over, hahaha. And scooby, whatcha mean +p? I never heard of that or maybe im just retarded, lol.

Ammunition with extra powder than a regular round. I'm not sure how many extra grains it is, but I know it adds more power.

[jdg371]

Wow.. 6GC is scaring me lol

I wonder if its true or just me.. a .38 Glock has more kickback than a .45 Springfield? I always thought that the bigger the number the harder it kicks back lol

Ive shot a couple handguns in a close range before and I suck. Bad!
Maybe Ill go again this summer and "practice some" lol

[Akimbo]

never fired a semiautomatic. just a snub nose pistol. ive fired lots of rifles and all different types of shotties, 50 cal muzzle loaders, etc. my uncle has a good collection i get to use. just no pistols.

[bloodrain]

if u guys ever get a chance, shoot a glock 18. Its probably about as accurate as u can get with a fully auto hand gun, its just fun as hell 2 shoot. And if I was ever getting robbed, just knowing that in 2 seconds u could unload 18 rounds into someone is pretty cool, lol. I think it was 18 rounds, i cant remember, only shot it once.

Glock 18 has a 33rd clip. At least, now they do. It's exactly the same as the Glock 17, except for the fully auto selector on the slide. So, you can actually use the 33rd clip, on the Glock 17. However, I don't know how "legal" that is. Also, Glock 18's are not legal for 'citizens' to own, I don't believe. If I ever find one, I will do my best to unload with it. .

Handguns...PFFFFT....The AK-47, when you absolutely positively have to kill every motherf****r in the room, accept no substitutions

[j0e_p3t]
