Donward Posted February 28, 2017 Report Share Posted February 28, 2017 2 minutes ago, Toxn said: Has there been any research into the number of rounds fired in self defense situations? Because I'm guessing that the average is low. 1 minute ago, Sturgeon said: The usual figure is "3-3-3". Average of 3 shots at 3 feet in 3 seconds. I've seen and heard 1 to 2 shots when shots are actually fired. Now I guess I have to find that info... And as always the majority of self defense situations deescalate quickly after a handgun is presented. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most self defense situations deescalate quickly after Meplat produces an antique firearm firing a functionally obsolete cartridge and uses it to shift some hobo off his property.

Well there was a reason why up until very recently, things like daggers, stilettos, Bowie knives, dirks, and switchblades were the preferred weapon of criminals, thugs, gangs and general low life scum who frequent the back alleys of society. Three inches of steel in the individual you wished to kill was a lot more effective than the corresponding derringers, Bulldog revolvers, .32 and .38 snubbies, gats and Saturday Night Specials.

That’s Suspicious Posted March 5, 2017 Report Share Posted March 5, 2017 Saw these today. Some old bolt guns at our local Cabela's M1903A1, M1903A3, some K98's. M1903A1. Not as heavy as I thought it to be. Converted K98 VZ2008 obviously. Colt M16, specific variant of which I forgot. Some ugly brown thing. This M70 I believe? Also can someone tell me what this sight is and for? Sweet Benelli action. M1897 Nambu, which specific model of which I again don't know. USP 45 And finally, a funky looking M&P 9.
