tune time

get the kids 22lr. If the humble 22 could hold off the German army, it could hold off looters. link in a bit. i am trying to re-find that article i read on it. Basic story is the German army attacked a French military school and the teen cadets only had 22lr. They held off the German forces for a few days and were only beaten when tanks were brought in.

Oh, boo hoo.

Been around guns since I was 6 or 7, and had my first .22 semi auto rifle since I was 8. Hunters safety course, plus being taught by responsible adults on how to use them, etc.

still looking. One "special" person on another forum where i am asking for info about the battle wants me to say "the proof is self-evident in the round." as to the effectiveness of the 22lr. I will try and find some better proof.

outside of warfare, the lowly .22 rimfire has killed more people than any other round. the first fixed ammo firearms were s&w .22 revolvers. they were incredibly popular during the civil war, and for decades afterwards. big bore power means nothing if it misses. as for "what firearm should i get for my wife, kids, dog, goldfish, etc.?", how the fuck would any of us know? we don't know your family, nor have we gone shooting with them. build and appearance mean squat. ive known big husky bruisers that couldnt shoot a .22 without flinching, and tiny little "frails" that could clip a nickel at 25 paces with a .45 all day long. for long guns, stock fit is more important than caliber. measure from the middle joint of the strong side index finger to the inside of the elbow joint. that's the "length of pull" that will fit, as a general rule. subtract for beefy pecs or shoulders, or bulky clothing. if it shoulders quick and natural, and your cheek tucks into the comb without contortion, then it'll be a "natural". those old english game guns were built to specific dimensions for individuals for that very reason. for handguns one that actually fits the individuals grubby paw, and points as a natural extension of the forearm line will be a "natural". avoid sharp checkering on "kickers". in short, there are no pat answers, and anybody offering them is just shit talking.
