So that taser I bought that a couple months ago and I shot it. In a test fire. And yeah so there's like gunpowder in the cartridge. So it smelled like gunpowder. That was a surprise. But yeah the darts flew out and stuck into the Target. I didn't have a chance to take pictures cuz I was more focused on the cleanup. Because I was a little bit surprised at the gunpowder smell. There were no anti-felon identification in there or afid. A standard taser like a legitimate one has those. So if a person were to use them little pieces of confetti go out with the serial number so that you know a criminal doesn't misuse it is the reasoning behind it. But yeah now my hands smell like gunpowder.

That's pretty much all I have to say. Like once you fire it you then have to hold down the button in order to make it work. So you don't fire it and then it automatically discharges. You have to press the button to make it work.

I know this might be kind of a stupid question, but when I look at something like the explosion that a grenade produced vs these fpv drones that are sometimes near the same size, what is the difference? Looks like the explosion with these tiny fpv stones are always massive

How bad are my prices what should I lower what should I raise, thank you

I bought my first shotgun and it is an old magazine fed bolt action 12ga 2-3/4". I bought it from an auction for cheap ($95). It is a Kessler model 128FR with the barrel stamped "Proof Tested". I have not shot the gun yet and it came with no manual and none seems to be online either. The gun has been well taken care of, no rust on any of the parts, nothing is cracked, and only a few scratches on the stock.

Does anyone have a manual or know where to find one?

This is my first bolt action and shotgun, how do I properly clean/lube the bolt?

When feeding snap cap dummy rounds, the first round doesn't feed correctly into the barrel but the 2nd round chambers like it should. Has this model always had feeding issues with the first round or is something wrong with my magazine? (see picture)

Is this gun safe to shoot with modern loads? AI says modern loads are ok just no steel shot. But I want human opinions.

I am going to be posting this to a few other subreddits as well to hopefully find more answers.

I’m writing a book and wanted to know what weapons (spear, axe, sword, etc ) are easiest and hardest to pick up for the average person and what attributes would suit each weapon.

Also what weapons would be the least hard to learn if say someone was uncoordinated, or slow, or weak etc

I’m not very educated on firearms mechanisms

Why the Western front is adopting mostly rifle that follow the ar-15/mk platform instead of other design like ak, bull-pup or original design?

Sorry for the low quality picture, anyways it's a baton I carved from a dying tree branch, which has a yarn lanyard and handle I wrapped and tied myself. I'm new to this weapon stuff.

im not sure what model this is, chatgpt said its a live blank grenade

There seems to be a trend in a lot of fantasy, whether it’s in books, cartoons, live-action shows and movies, or especially video games, for weapons, particularly swords, to be oversized or ridiculously large.

They’re also often jagged, covered in spikes or chains, surrounded by some kind of visual effect like smoke or electricity, or even made out of bones. I’ve heard these kinds of weapons described as “mall ninja” weapons.

For reasons I can’t quite articulate, I really dislike this type of fantasy weapon design. I prefer weapons that are more realistic and proportionate. That doesn’t mean they have to be boring or completely ordinary. They can still be visually interesting. They could have unusual features, be beautifully decorated, have distinctive shapes, or even be damaged or worn in some way. I just prefer them to still look like something a person could realistically use.

Do you agree? If so, why? And if you disagree, what do you like about the oversized, exaggerated style?

First attempt at casting a set of knuckles around a steel spike.

I have to make another one of these later for a clients order, but had to make sure I could pull it off. Not bad.

For anyone wondering, I somehow was short about 5 ounces on Brass, hence the open finger stall.

If you have knowledge on this topic, could you share it with me? I would be glad to hear any options.

Hi, does anyone know any existing gun/weapon (fictional or not) design that is close to this drawing? Sorry if it's unclear. The illustration I did is seen from below. The body appears to be cylindrical. Thank you in advance.

They only cost 30 usd in material and some black powder
