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
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
Each mag carried something like 18, he was carrying a full-sized glock.
If you can't do it in one then don't do it.
