ITT: misconceptions we had about guns when we were younger.
>thought you threw away magazines after using them once
>thought shotguns worked like they usually work in video games, i.e. the most destructive thing in the universe under 10 feet but totally useless beyond that
>thought people who held pistols with both hands were weak
>thought bullets traveled in a laser-straight line until they hit something
>thought bulletproof vests made you totally impervious to all gunfire and you could just calmly walk through a rain of bullets without giving a shit
>>29478590
I thought the mp-412 was real and not just vaporware.
I thought ak's literally never had to be cleaned.
I thought all gangbangers used gold deagle brand deagles.
I thought Russian guns instantly equals bad guys.
I thought American guns instantly equal good guys.
I thought lmgs were all comfortable to fire from the hip.
I thought all snipers could kill at like 5 miles away.
Holy fuck I was a baby autist as a kid.
>>29478590
I thought war was cool, and that gunfire doesnt hurt your years
>thought shotguns worked like they usually work in video games, i.e. the most destructive thing in the universe under 10 feet but totally useless beyond that
Does anyone remember the "The shotgun. An often misunderstood weapon" copypasta that finally got HM to leave this board?
Thought magazines were called clips.
>>29478590
>thought people who held pistols with both hands were weak
So does the government. That's why a pistol made with intent to be held with two hands is actually a rifle.
thought full-auto is more useful than semi-auto for riflemen.
thought 556 has no recoil.
underestimated the weight of everything.
had no idea ammo is expensive.
I used to think that "gas operated" meant that the rifle had a little Co2 cartridge in it, like an Airsoft gun.

Technically couldn't you nigger rig a pair of binoculars to be a scope for a rifle and just do that?

Basically. Read up on 'Murrica's "No Fun Allowed" act. Everything that's not fudd as fuck requires special taxes or federal prison time.

>>29478672
Nope
Post it

>>29478797
Better than me. I used to think it meant the gun ran on gasoline.
These aren't misconceptions.
You guys are really really stupid to belive those things.
When I was a kid I didn't have any of those ideas because I actually had a functioning brain.

literally depends the situation
>thought 556 has no recoil.
The first time I fired a 5.56 rifle I was expecting a lot more recoil. It honestly felt about the same as a 22.
The only thing I can possibly think of that I misinterpreted is the importance of a good scope and how to effectively zero a rifle.
>>29479441
TO BE FAIR
A swat team with an armored vehicle and a shit ton of ammo would wreck shit. Put a mounted 50 on that shit and I guarantee they would break the lines.

I mean, we're talking about duct taping binoculars on top of a rifle here.
>>29479667
what is that shotgun ?
I thought the ak was reliable.
I thought full autos were legal but you had to have either a police approval or been a former soldier
I didn't know what a bullpup was.
I thought the m16 round was huge.
I thought the m14 wasn't an unreliable, inaccurate POS.
I thought Australian gun laws had stopped gun violence completely.
I thought the NFA didn't exist.
NFA repeal when? We can start with the HPA
>>29478590
My dad was a cop so I had a pretty good handle on guns but

>>29478820
>any fool can just casually walk into a gun store and buy select-fire/suppressors/explosives
mfw people(liberals) still believe this
I thought guns were bad. Grew up in a fuddly family too. Don't get me wrong I wasn't a nogunz but I didn't like the idea of people being killed. I'm much much wiser now
>>29479722
Have you ever fired a gun nigger? Do you have any idea the type of hardware it takes to make sure a scope stays the fuck where you want it to? Even the slightest of shifts will make it completely off. This is why you have to zero your gun constantly.
I don't even know if the internals of binocs would handle the shock of a rifle. It's going to take more than just a bit of fucking duct tape and a sharpie for that to even work in the slightest.
Why do you think most early scopes were so tiny? Do you even know where you are right now faggot?
>>29479939
>I thought the ak was reliable.
It is though anon. Especially for it's cost.
That doesn't mean you get to neglect the thing but they wouldn't be as popular as they are if they weren't pretty good rifles.
>>29479939
>I thought the ak was reliable
But it is
Not even a slavaboo but the AK is the Honda Accord of rifles
They're everywhere, they're not that special, kind of boring really, and there are plenty of models/platforms that out-perform them but they will never ever quit on you.
I thought an Uzi was the fastest RPM gun
I thought all semi auto rifles where "Machine guns"
I thought revolvers had the most power.
I though a magazine was called a clip.
Later I thought a clip was a speed loader for a magazine
I thought Full Metal Jacket meant a full magazine.
>>29480516
>I thought all semi auto rifles where "Machine guns"
I was watching a stream the other day on twitch out of boredom and the chat was talking about guns. Why guy with his amazing knowledge let everyone know "That is a machine gun you guys, it is clearly an assault rifle"
And I died a little on the inside.
>>29478672
>Good out to 10 yards (reliably). An intimidation weapon.
>Ask me anything.
(or something like that)
>>29478590
When I was really young, like 5 years old I thought 1 gunshot could never kill anybody while 2 gunshots meant instant certain death.

>>29482911

I thought ammo was inexpensive

Ah, that explains why I never see them in desert conflict regions like Iraq or Afghanistan or Libya or Syria or Palestine or Sudan or Pakistan or Jordan or Somalia or Côte d'Ivoire or Rwanda or

>implying the people in those regions can choose the best weapon and not just whats cheap and available
>>29478820
>>the whole cartridge comes out of the barrel
That's 60% more bullet, per bullet.
I thought that any firearm was basically a M2 and even one shot could just turn someone into pink mist.
i also thought cleaning guns just entailed washing off the exterior like a car, no insides involved.
>>29483239
They still get fucked up easier than most modern rifles like the AR.
AR fares waaaaay better in the desert than the AK. AK has large open spaces for sand to ingress and fuck up the weapon.
Sealed systems do way better in mud or sand. Look up the abundant torture tests where the AK fares horribly.
Its a third world conscript's gun
>>29480404
Holy shit nice fucking autism kid.
He said you could, theoretically, use binoculars as a scope on a rifle.
No fucking shit it'd work like ass, hence him saying it'd give you a black eye, just to name one problem.
Uninstall life.
> Used to think that bullets fired by the hammer alone.
> Drum magazines were just bullets all jumbled up inside.
>>29483382
I witnessed the birth of that meme! Simply epic!
>>29478915
some binos have rubber gasket things for comfort, that could minimize black eyes.
as for the reticle, would you put the full reticle on each side of the binos or one side vertical and one side horizontal?
sure, it's slav-tier, but it would probably work on a mosin.
cheapshit on cheapshit, works every time
>>29478672
was it this, or something more?
>An often misunderstood weapon. Excellent for close quarters. Good out to 25 yards. An intimidation weapon. Ask me anything you want to know.
>>29483163
and I thought ammo was 1$ per round, probably because of video games or something.
>>29484358
It is for some really rare types of ammo. .45-70 for example is ~$0.50 per round if you buy by the box.
>people getting shot with high powered rounds dont just fall on the ground like wet sacks of potatoes, but fall backwards as if they slipped on a banana peel
never was retarded enough to think shotguns would throw them across the room and pin them to the wall, though, but nasheed vids really helped me understand physics of a body getting shot
>>29479228
I thought that too, but with liquid-gas-filled hydraulics that worked the action
I used to think that SMGs were just two pistols stuck together like this
>>29478590
>thought the ak variants was made by the Islamic terrorists
>thought that the case and projectile shot out the barrel
>thought a .50 cal pistol shot the 50 BMG round
>thought you put you eye right up against the optic
>>29478788
>thought 556 has no recoil
It does?
I thought you can fire smaller caliber cartridges out of bigger guns that were not designed to fire them if needed.
>>29479939
Nigger look at Sydney there's a shooting like every month
>>29478942
I need this to make every gun 20% more Slav.
I thought "gas operated" meant it was powered by gasoline.
>>29487512
To be honest, I thought it meant that certain calibers were filled with pressurized, explosive gas that the primer set off.
When I was young I thought all that was needed to make a "space gun" was to make the "gas" in the rifle a split case with fuel on one side and oxidizer on the other, down the centerline so the primer would go off and let them mix.
...I liked guns when I was little, but I knew more about how spaceships worked so I just kinda pushed the two things together.
When I was a kid, I used to play MGS3 a lot. I was confused when Snake called his M1911A1 an automatic, so for a while I thought the 1911 was a machine pistol. I spent a fair amount of time trying to get it to fire automatically.
>>29487640
so why did he call it automatic?
>>29487672
Some people call semi-automatic pistols automatics for short, I guess. I've heard it used a few times since then, mostly by older people.
>>29487672
because it loads automatically.
automatic doesn't strictly mean automatic fire
>>29487672
Back in the day when semi automatic handguns were relatively new people often referred to them as automatics.
>bullets that go through the enemy, cause more damage

Bruh, my condolences. Mine was back in middle school, so desu none of the curriculum really mattered so I just ended up going to high school. Kinda sucked cause the debacle meant my friends all sort of got told to avoid me by their moms because I was a bad influence and a seedy bastard or something. Became a social Exile, grew up and now i'm here. Still got a BJ though, so it was worth it I guess.

You are beyond hope.
For those who are not aware, in the Half-Life games there's a SPAS-12 that if you right click fires "both barrels".
I never saw anything wrong with that until I learnt about guns.

Grew up in a noguns neighborhood but I had a child boner for napoleon wars and read a lot about the rifles of that time so I had a pretty decent understanding of how things worked, but it also caused me to believe that firearms didn't work well with water unless they were specially designed spec ops water proof firearms etc.

Semi-auto pistol?
Nigger why?
They say it because it's an automatic reloading pistol. An auto-loader for short.
>thought you had to pull on the forward assist to cycle an AR-15
>thought it was just some plug that was attached to the bolt carrier via some sort of cable
I was 12 when I was handed a real AR-15 at a gun shop, and had to be shown how to cycle it by the kindly old shop owner when he saw me futilely tugging on the forward assist for 30 seconds.
Fuck you Counter Strike. You lied to me.

Well you're not wrong.

>>29489872
Red blooded, meat eating, gun owning, pussy destroying American. That is correct.
I like all self contained cartridge guns. Muzzle loaders and cap and ball revolvers are a bit boring, but I don't care if other people enjoy them.
Case in point I probably own more guns than you.
1 nugget
1 shotgat
2 ARs
1 M1 Garand.
>>29489889
I would even say the best rifle ever objectively made is the AR-15 or rather one of it's variants.
So an american rifle, but to say the M1 garand is objectively the best rifle ever made is just plain bullshit.
And yeah, you probably own more guns than me since I'm a eurofag and I can't own semi-rifles and handguns until I am 22.
I currently only own a Lee Enfield and a CZ455 Thumbhole, so nothing fancy.
However I've shot the SIG MCX and some Colt AR-15, so maybe my opinion on the gun is not as sophisticated as an american who has shot it countless times.
>>29489797
>Assuming my post was malicious
>Assuming I'm a ledditfag
Relax dude.
>>29489932
I pity your europoor status, but we're all going to make it someday man.
The AR is good, I really love both of the ones I own, I want to get a third one with a 11.5" barrel at some point. I'm also interested in the X95 Tavor.
But my Garand is definitely my favorite rifle. Is it the best rifle to fight a war with? Nope. Is it the best bench rest MOA queen? Nope. It's just a great rifle and I love shooting it. I'm thinking about getting a second one in .308.
Tell me about your Enfield. I really want to get a nice one before they all disappear.
I took this photo just for you.
>bullets go 100 km/hr
More like 3000
>>29487983
No, loose tolerances mean it has a large margin for error when manufacturing dumbass
>>29490031
Yea it's pretty okay, in one year I can get a handgun and a semi-automatic rifle (most preferably a Tavor, too).
Never shot a Garand, unfortunately. I'd really love to.
Pic related is my enfield, I'm not on my pc so this is the only pic available to me right now.
It's a No3 Mk1, was built in 1916 so it's 100 years old now, it was in India around 1950, because the receiver has an ishapore stamp on it, no idea how it got there, but seems like the metal parts were refinished or replaced there, but it wasnt rechambered to .308 like the ishapore rifles.
It is in very good shape, better than most enfields made in the 1950s, I was very surprised by that actually, I assume it didnt see much action, but I want to know what the fuck it did in India, and how it ended up here.
>>29489860
Yes, I was.
The Garand is an awesome rifle don't get me wrong, and I'd even venture to say it was one of the best rifles of its time, but there are plenty of guns out there that fill the role once occupied by the M1 and do a better job of it
>>29490088
Could have been involved in some "Kings Rifles" type BS. May have wound up there on the way to fight against the Japanese in Singapore and what not.
You have good taste friend.
My Garand was made in early 43. It's got a Springfield receiver, barrel, and trigger group. My elevation adjustment is HRA and my op rod is WRA.
If you ever get the chance, shoot a Garand. The ping is the most rewarding thing on the planet I swear.
Isn't it weird wondering about where these old rifles have been? About who carried them?
>>29490133
I agree with you that it has been surpassed.
And refer to >>29490031
It's just a wonderful piece.
>>29487539
Something like that is basically how the gyrojet pistol came about.. it didn't work
>>29490139
>My Garand was made in early 43. It's got a Springfield receiver, barrel, and trigger group. My elevation adjustment is HRA and my op rod is WRA.
Nice, my Garand is a hodgepodge of 7 different rifles because my Grandfather forced his brothers and sons to go get CMP Garands with him so that he could assemble one very nice Garand and sell the other 6.
>>29490242
Sounds like turned 7 good rifles into 1 great rifle and 6 mediocre ones. What a jerk.
As mentioned already, I too thought Desert Eagles shot .50 BMG and couldn't figure out how the cartridges fit. I also thought .357 Magnum was the most powerful round in the world. I thought shotguns only shot birdshot and thats why it was completely ineffective on a person beyond 15 feet.
I thought the calibers of larger guns like 25mm and 120mm was actually the range.
All worked out because I was drawing mobile suits and jotted down weapons like 300mm rifles, 250mm rockets, and shit like that.
Also believed for a time that all guns were fucking a billion tons after my dad handed me his Mossberg 500 and I was like 4 or 5 years old.
>>29489574
To be fair, this is straight vidya, not that big of a deal that you messed up anon
>>29490276
It was the 70's, Garands were hardly a collector's item and he was the only one of the 7 who shot.
Worked out well for him, and worked out well for me.
>>29478590
My father engaged in black powder shooting matches and taught me to shoot on a black powder rifle, so when i was young I thought that guns always put up huge clouds of smoke. I didn't even realize that smokeless powder was a thing until like 2 years later.
>>29490488
Fair enough.
I'm debating getting a second one in .308 so I can just feed it M80 ball that I hope to also be feeding to other toys in the caliber. Makes more sense than needing a lot of 30-06 and M80.
I dunno if I should get a CMP or Fulton armory one though if I'm going .308.

>>29488521
Are you actually retarded or do you not know what tolerances are?
>>29490665
I'm actually not on either side. I really like both systems. But to say the AK isn't reliable is stupid and to say that the tolerances that were built in by design ti make it reliable are just indicative of le shitty Soviet manufacturing is spouting bad history. It's made pretty clear in most researched histories of the AK pattern rifle that the tolerances are a feature of the design. The idea is to sacrifice accuracy for reliability. It generally works. As far as I've been able to tell, both systems work pretty damn well. People who feel the need to shit on either don't know much about guns.
