Looks like the Intervention Sniper Rifle, just without the stock, scope or even iron sights.

I like Rarity’s method with the pump-action here
What is this called when you load a round before each shot? I’ve never seen this before.
She is so cute <3

Load a round before each shot? I dunno, almost looks like she’s slam-firing it though.

Largely. The pattern of shotgun pellets spreads approximately 1” for each yard it patterns–or, if you prefer, approximately 3cm for each meter. With the larger “buckshot” type pellets, each pellet is about the size of a pistol bullet and they have to be stacked inside the shell in a certain pattern or else they won’t all fit. From a shotgun, buckshot is lethal out to 40m+ and can be used for suppressive fire out past 100m.
There is also “slug” ammunition, which contains one large individual bullet instead of many pellets. A highly skilled user can get over 200m effective range against man-sized targets from slugs, though hunters generally prefer to stay inside 75m with them.
On the other hand, a highly skilled user using a centerfire rifle and a telescopic sight can go out past 600m, maybe past 800m, depending on his skill. Shotguns have less effective range than rifles, but not many hunters try to sling lead at deer from 600m. And in combat over 90% of rifle fire takes place within 200m, well under 100m in urban or jungle environments.
Is it true that shotguns’ relative short range is actually BS?

Example: the M90 Shotgun from Halo CE.
Full-auto, 12 shells of 8-gauge buckshot firepower, insane range, and can delete Banshees.

I’ll take the KSG from Call of Duty Black Ops 2. Took skill to use, but that thing was a sniper rifle.

Effective range of revolvers and pistols is similar - about 50 m. If you are skilled, you can hit a human silhouette at 100 m with a handgun.
When it comes to theoretical range, revolvers have a disadvantage because some of the gas pressure escapes through the cylinder gap.

You are your worst enemy
Here’s a scenario: Imagine you lose your weapons in, say, a boating accident. How would you prepare your weapons beforehand in the unlikely event that you found them? How to protect them from the environment and disuse is what I mean.

There may or may not be a company that makes waterproof storage capsules for that unlikely hypothetical event.

Vacuum-sealed bags, cosmoline, and deoxygenators are your friend. It’s how we lost all our guns over here last year.

hey everyone, I know it’s been a while but I’m back now. I blocked derpi to get over my porn addiction, but I feel I trust myself now. Anyways, I got a Type 56 Chinese SKS rifle a few days ago and cleaned it. It was made in 1968, and has all matching numbers.

Very nice. Are you going to shoot it? 7.62x39mm ammo has gone up in price due to demand but it can still be had.
