Vy'drach Posted June 9, 2010 Author Share Posted June 9, 2010 I'd like to give a personal review of the P90. Actually i'd just like to say it has a lot more kick then I thought for an smg. A 5.7 is a pretty decnt size. Full auto would be crazy muzzle rise.You've fired an FN Herstal P90?And also, I posted some pics of my last two shooting trips in the "Pictures of the Members" thread.

Vy'drach Posted June 16, 2010 Author Share Posted June 16, 2010 Had to make one for my all-time favourite gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vy'drach Posted July 2, 2010 Author Share Posted July 2, 2010 Sorry for the double post, but gotta bump this with pics of my favourite gun (that I own). My Springfield M14 (M1A).Here she is.She has a military M14 stock, and here's the fire-selector cut-out groove to prove it.I love the stock on this gun, very beautiful. I never did like the SOCOM style M14/M1A with the synthetic stock.Close-up of her grain. Unfortunately, she has a slight nick.Inside of her bolt/receiver, and don't worry, that's a dummy round used to make dry-firing less damaging to the gun. You can't de-cock the M14/M1A, so you gotta dry fire, which damages the firing pin. Sorry, I got some hair on her in this photo.Best image I could take down her sights (my digital camera is not meant to do things like this, so it got a little funky).And the best shot I could take down her range-finding scope.Well, there she is.

Redeemer Posted July 2, 2010 Share Posted July 2, 2010 That is awesome. How did she get the nick? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vy'drach Posted July 2, 2010 Author Share Posted July 2, 2010 That is awesome. How did she get the nick?No idea, probably at the range, or moving her in the gun safe. No idea how she got it, really, too many possibilities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Julius Quasar Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 The first guns came from China, where they were invented (They were called "Fire Spears").It was essentially discharged by lighting a wick, which burned, igniting the powder in the frizzen pan, which propelled the round out the muzzle on the barrel's end. You'd need a torch or lamp/candle nearby for you to use it.Later came the "Wheel Lock" gun, where pulling the trigger rotated a steel wheel, which ground against a flint spike, sending sparks into the frizzen pan, igniting the powder, which propelled the round out the muzzle on the barrel's end.These made their way west to Europe in the days of Marco Polo, and even in the middle ages, where they were modified (especially in Italy, during and after the "Marco Polo" days).In the 1700's, the flintlock gun was invented. The piece of flint was held in the hammer, which was cocked back, and then released upon the pull of the trigger. The piece of flint held in place on the hammer's striking end, was scraped against the frizzen face, which sent sparks into the frizzen pan, igniting the powder, which propelled the round out the muzzle on the barrel's end.In the 1800's, especially near the time of Civil War, the Percussion Cap came into play. The hammer stuck the Percussion Cap, which ignited the powder in the end of the barrel, which propelled the round out the muzzle on the barrel's end.Later, in the late 1800's/early 1900's came the modern day Rimfire guns. Basically, it's like having the percussion cap and powder all in each round you load, no powder loading or wadding required. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rebel_gunman Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 We call that a rifle.Don't make me tell you the difference between a rifle and a gun! I'll show you the way my Drill Instructors showed our platoon... right after they butt-stroke the recruit that called it a gun! O_o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll show you the way my Drill Instructors showed our platoon... right after they butt-stroke the recruit that called it a gun! I know the difference. Heck, at VMI, if you did that "Gun" instead of "rifle" gaffe, they'd humiliate you by making you go to every dorm, and hold you rifle in one hand and your p**** in another hand, and say :"This is my rifle, this is my gun, this one's for fighting, this one's for fun." I'm not kidding, I know some VMI alumni (including my dad and my uncle) who had to deal with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then, we marched back to the squad bay and had to clean our rifles, inspection ready, in 5 minutes. If it was still dirty, even a grain of sand, you went back to the pit!IT WAS AWESOME now that I think about it. Aside from getting butt-stroke!

Guest Julius Quasar Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 That's right.They still beat cadets with rifle cleaning rods there like they did in my dad and my Uncle's day? I heard a few cadets my age say "Yes", and a few say "No"... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rebel_gunman Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 Mmm, I get it.I couldn't get into the military, due to legal blindness, and "psychological discrepancies". I can see with contact lenses, but still... I have some visual problems, but I can see without glasses or contacts to a certain distance. And the military gave me some mental issues... not to bad though. And some joint, back, neck problems that I've been able to withstand. The military adds 5 to 7 years to you. And the Marine Corps adds 10 to 12 years! On topic...I named my Boot Camp rifle 'Vixy', My MCT Rifle 'Foxy', My 1st Fleet Rifle 'Kitty', My Secont Fleet Rifle 'Hope', and My 3rd Fleet Rifle 'Dark Wolf'.Names match the events I went through with my ex.
