    lol not everyone knows what a trigger is. My ex girlfriend was with me at a gun shop (big mistake) and I was looking at a beautiful Colt 1911. Blacked out with white trim and inlay. I was gonna take her home and name her Sheila. Well my ex pointed at the trigger guard and asked what the "squeezy pull thingy was" Me and the guy behind the counter laughed so hard at that. I laughed myself out of the store and never got Sheila. I dumped her about .45 minutes later (see what i did there?)

    Love the mention of the Marlin 25! My first and favorite firearm is a 1978 25 Glenfield that was given to me by my favorite uncle when I was 12 in 1997, I bet I've easily fired 300,000 rounds through that little rifle and, after having the bolt worked on once or twice and doing some trigger improvements it's still an absolute tack-driver. They cost nothing and are just AMAZING rimfire rifles. I don't know about the newer 25s, I assume they're great, too.

    • @benschuster5480
      @benschuster5480 9 лет назад

      A pistol must have only one barrel so it is kind of debatable weather the cylinder counts as multiple barrels. For example any Gatling style gun definitively has multiple barrels yet only one is used at any given time so therefore there it isn't clear what a revolver actually is : p

    @Orthrus 12 лет назад

    Clips feed ammunition into magazines. Magazines feed ammo into the receiver. Pretty much, if it has a spring, then it's a magazine.
    Clips are things like the stripper and en-bloc clips that were used to load Mosin-Nagants, the M1 Garand, and so on. Stripper clips are still used today to quickly load military magazines - we used them in training to speed up loading. Afterall, we had to get 180 rounds into 6 magazines and no time to waste doing it.

    Modern sporting rifles are bolt,pump,lever action, single shot or semi-auto, cal. include anything from .22 and up. Assault rifles are select fire(full auto three round burst) mid power rounds(5.56x45mm Nato and 7.62x39mm). Battle rifles are full power rifles(7.62x51 Nato(.308) 30-06 7.62x54R. They can be semi-auto(M1 and M1A1) or full auto capable(M-14 with selector switch installed).
    These are just some examples, and bare in mind that battle rifle can include any full power rifle.

  • @mst3k4evur
    @mst3k4evur 12 лет назад

    It depends on your price range and the range you think you'd be shooting. You can find a good used Marlin 336 for less than $300 but you will be limited to 200 yards with standard ammo and 300 yards with Leverevolution ammo from Hornaday.
    For a hundred dollars more you can get a good Savage Stevens 200 and substantially greater range.
    After that, you have the the Ruger Hawkeye and the Remington 700. Both are simply wonderful guns but will cost you about $700 each.
    Hope that helps.

    "Clip" is a valid term it just is a different thing than a magazine. A clip is usually a metal piece that holds rounds used to load an internal magazine. Some of the old military bolt action rifles like an Enfield use them.

    I have a US manual for '50s on small arms describing many foreign models and "assault rifle" was used to describe the MP43/StG44.M2 carbine (pistol replacement cartridge), BAR(full power), etc. technically would not fall into definition while M1918 Ribreyrolle(8mm bullet fitted to necked down .351 Winchester case,full auto, 35rd magazine) would easily meet definition.When "officially" designated I'll take your word, but military used term much earlier, and concept around even earlier than that.

    A clip is a piece of metal designed to hold a limited number of cartridges for reloading the internal magazines of various rifles such as an SKS, a Mosin-Nagant, an M1903 Springfield, an M1917 Enfield, and for detachable box magazine such as those used in an M16/ M4, an AK-47, an M1 Carbine, and an M14. Now the device to load an M1 Garand is also a clip is ejected from in the case of the M1 Garand the top when the last round is fired. This clip holds eight rounds and is inserted into the Garand.

    depends on the ranges you think you'll be shooting at, if you're taking longer range shots go with a 30-06 or .270 but if you're shooting around 150yds or less you can't beat a lever action in 30-30, its short and easy to handle, has good power for deer sized game (i shoot moose with a 30-30) and is really accurate at those ranges and ammo is cheap

    Fun history fact: The term 'lock stock and barrel' comes from the old black powder days and refers to the three parts of a musket: The flintlock or matchlock, the wooden stock and of course the barrel.

    Good video. I have one quibble though. The word "pistol" refers to ANY gun designed to be fired from the hand alone rather than being shouldered. If you don't believe me, look it up in the dictionary. I understand that many people today only use the term to refer to semi=automatic handguns, but this is not really specific, and could lead to confusion. The terms "revolver," and "semi-automatic," are more specific if one wishes to denote the type of loading mechanism. I always make the distinction and say "semi-automatic,", or "revolver." As a further example, what word would you use for a hand held dueling flintlock made in the 1700s? A dueling PISTOL, surely.

    Hey guys. Just wondering if you could do a video on firearms optics. What to consider when purchasing optics. Anatomy of scopes. Is spending more on optics than the rifle itself worth it. What's the difference between a $1000 scope and $100 scope. Thanks for taking the time in producing all your other videos

    Very good vid that I would like my family to watch.
    Beg to differ on one thing, this video isn't "long" in the sense that you probably intend it. It was worth 16 minutes of my life.
    I had no problem watching it because =you had enough content= and weren't rambling or saying the same thing over and over. I've shut off 4-minute vids because that's all they were doing.
    Keep up the good work.

    Check out "Gun Gripes Episode 8: Negligent Discharge". They talk about many accidental discharges. Barry also talks about the guys who shoot themselves in the butt with their 1911s. Great episode. In fact, all of them are!

    The term "clip" refers to a very simple device made from one piece of sheet steel. Clips are used to store ammo securely and load it easily into the magazine. Using the term "clip" to describe the magazine is like using the term "jerrycan" to describe your car's fuel tank.

  • @madengine5805

    the 1911 from Springfield incorporates a 38 Super firing pin and spring. making it drop safe. the 38 Super firing pin and spring have so much tension on such a light weight pin, only the hammer has the strength to launch that pin. that's thanks to the extra powerful main spring that pushes the hammer.

    Have y'all ever thought of testing a trick people have talked about that involves making a match head slush to fill in a hollow point bullet and testing it on a ballistic gel to see if it changes the effect of the bullets damage? The match stick slush is suppose to make a ignition on impact that causes a small burst of fire. Was just wondering what the effectiveness of such a round would be.

    44mag DOT com offers a "parts kit" service on many of the magazines they carry, including Pmags specifically for sale to ban states. Some other retailers might do that as well.
