For the sheer sexiness factor.

And besides, she could always have a rifle back on her horse. Her lucky, LUCKY horse.

Maybe she's got a Winchester at home for when she's on the road and carries extra rounds simply out of habit? Just a thought, but it works, no?

Maybe she's got a .308 Casull

What's one of those, pardon my ignorance?

I have a 99 year old Colt 45, and a 125 year old Granny Pistol...

It's a pistol that was built to handle rifle ammo. There is a modern version, the .454, that's an automatic. The old .308 is a revolver.

AKA a good way to take your hand off at the wrist

...see, all i know is the Casull is partnered with the Jackal, and then you have Alucard, the Hellsing bishie vampire.

Alucard's Gun here is a custom Casull .454 automatic. The .308 was an old custom revolver chambered for the .308cal Winchester rifle round, much like the modernRuger SuperRedhawk .44 Mag, which can also be chambered to use the .454 Casull cartridge, all the way up to .480, which may as well be a rifle bullet.

Jeezu Christus, but those things make Desert Eagles look like pop-guns.

Hehe... yeah, I know. I loved it in Dirty Harry when he claimed the freakin' .357 mag was the "Most Powerful Handgun" in the world. Hell, it wasn't even as good as a Walker .44, and those were black powder originally. For a sense of scale, go here for a short .mpg of someone test-fireing a mockup of the Casull/Jakal. It's appearently an air-compression BB gun... well, more like Ball Bearings in the case of the Casull. Man, I know why they don't sell those things in the states.

Sorry, my firearms knowledge get's the better of me sometimes... I was singled out in my group to help create the stats for guns in a homebrew rpg we were working on.

Ah, the joys of understanding the magnum.

The .50 Desert Eagle isn't a pop-gun by any stretch of the imagination.
Guns like the Casull and the DE are designed for stopping power i.e. delivering as much kinetic energy as possible into a small area, making the person you shoot seriously reconsider their position on attacking you.
The rounds are low velocity, but hit like 10 tons of bricks. Course, they also kick like 10 tons of bricks. One of the reasons those guns are so beefy.
Being a beefy guy myself, I find that I'm pretty comfortable with the .50 DE and the .454 Casull. I can handle the recoil, and the grips just melt into my hands. They are not, however, my weapons of choice. I'll take a good ole 1911A1 any day of the week, followed by everyones favorite 12 ga. shotgun.

I like the 1911A1 because the design is almost 100 years old. It has been worked, tweaked, and refined over the years into one of the most reliable firearms you can get. With a slight bit of customization, you can fully expect jam-free operation, even in bad conditions, up to about 1000 rounds. Added to that .45 ammo is avalable for a good price, in a variety of different configurations (fully jacketed, hollow point, penetrator, +P, hard ball, soft ball, fragmentation, #4 dove and quail shot, #2 duck shot, #00 steel buck, regular, AND unleaded) all over the world. While not as popular in other places as the 9mm, you can still find it.

The 12 ga. mmmm... this is the prefered weapon for defending just about anything. When I was living in a bad neighborhood in Florida, my apartment got broken in to, and I caught the guy trying to carry my TV out the window. All I had to do was rack the pump, and the theif stopped in his tracks, climbed back in the apartment, set my TV down, and layed down next to it with his hands on the back of his head.

When you start using exotic guns like the .50 and the .454 you run into all kinds of supply problems. A lot of ranges will not allow you to fire them because they deliver too much energy to the backstops, and fining ammo.. jeez..

heh
Americans
all you have to do is say the word handgun and they either get wood, or get wet, depending on gender.

You're just jealous cause you can't have guns anymore

I swear, those kind of stories are among my favorite gun stories!

just made a recent purchace of a magnum .500 (I will admit I have a love for large handguns) only problem is that it costs 45 dollars for a box of 20 rounds and I have to go out into the boonies to shoot it

Infinity-Iz-Blue · Post by **Infinity-Iz-Blue** » Thu Oct 07, 2004 4:46 am

Ah, the humble shotgun. Over here that's about as deadly as it gets, but EVERY farmhouse in the country has one. It takes years to earn the right to even own a handgun, but to get a 12 bore all you need is to fill in the "occupation" slot with the word Farmer, and they give you a double-barrelled hand reloader, (the kind most usually made into sawnoffs, see "Lock, stock and two smoking barrells") a large bag of shells and wave you off with shout of "Happy hunting!". Were would we all be if the Shotgun had never been invented?

Squidflakes · Post by **Squidflakes** » Thu Oct 07, 2004 6:56 am

My father was in Vietnam during one of our more botched 'Police Actions', and in addition to his rifle, he had a back-up shotgun. They weren't issue weapons, but they could be obtained..

Anyway, he credits his trusty pistol grip Remington for getting him though in one piece, and he's still got it. It hasn't chambered ammo in probably 20 years, but he keeps it clean, and I bet it would still work like a champ.

THIS is the reason I like guns. Not because they are tools for killing, or because my American culture has taught me to be a raving, gun-hoarding, sister-fucking, militia-joining, compound-building, minority-hating, gay-bashing, xenophobic fruit cake, but because they are examples of fine craftsmanship, and near mechanical perfection.

i still say a better example of mechanical precision and artistry would be an R.R.R. prototype. can't accidentally kill children who don't realize dipshit dad left it loaded..... gives orgasms...... great for parties ^_^
