Right?

ive got a 40 s and w thats ambidextrous

Does my ar9 count as handgun lol

atf says no

lol

I wonder how strong you can get the 45-70 before a case blowout.

Good thing I dint listen well

One of you got it right

BP is pretty obvious

It's blackpowder

BP is not very powerful like a 36 ball wont penatrate a thing lol

BP is perfectly fine

It doesn't break bone

It shatters it

Just gotta load hot

Anyways

Why is it "Pretty Obvious" when Black Powder has been obsolescent for a hundred years?

Anyone got any good cleaners for BP?

Obsolete militarily, but if you want to make the intruder suffer then shoot em with a BP rifle

Plus how embarrassing is it to die from a BP revolver?

I will grant you that I could have looked it up, but I thought it was a good conversation starter. So when you said it was "Pretty Obvious" I was like *hey, that's not called for.* Sorry.

It's still very common up here

You live in Canada?

We use it to get around carry laws in Canada

Ah.

BP revolvers are common while hunting since no one wants to write a letter to the head Armourer of Alberta and wait for a yes or no.

Stupid handgun carry laws

Absolutely. Something else you can do to get around gun laws for self defense is (and I know this is going to sound slightly insane) is a crossbow.

It might not be a firearm, but it's better than a baseball bat.

Well I need something that I can draw quickly while holding a rifle.

Makes sense.

Lead balls absolutely shatter bone.

If you shoot someone in the leg with a BP revolver they'll have to cut that leg off.

I grant that they're more than adequate for a single intruder.

Or 6

Well, wait, scratch that.

You *can* theoretically kill six people with a single revolver, yes. If everything goes right.

But that's a huge assumption to make.

If you have two you can kill 12

I think Doughnut Operator detailed the story of a police officer who carried 300 rounds with him after getting into a gunfight and finding out that 100 rounds was not enough.

That's because you Americans can't hit shit
