I have, but that is the implication of what you wrote/ the theory in question. Whether you realized it or not.

Nope. Not at all. Read again, & stop looking at it like a court case for which lawyer's arguments & a lawyers' conclusion (black or white, right or wrong) are appropriate.

Sorry, moving on. Don't care enough to rehash.

But they were! :D :lol:

That's a bit homo-centric, though. In actual fact, megafauna of the same scale as giant sloth are still extant in Africa and Asia.

 

But nothing as slow and defenceless as a giant sloth still exists there. There were, however, chalicotheres there until about 2 million years ago (some sources claim c. 800k years) - they would seem to be prime candidates for hunting by H. Erectus.

Back to guns...lots-a-shots shotties, that is.

 

The Firearm Blog has an article about a new one:

Around mag. Same as one of US SPIW prototypes and Swedish Interdinamiks MKS:

A far better idea than that silly revolver mag at the far of a pump shotgun.

The real bad thing about those revolvers is there were much more believable designs [with Noisy Cricketish recoil] three round 12 gauge revolver(s) in Bio-Booster Armor Guyver and iirc Wicked City. Edited by Rubberanvil

Gripping the mag well should be doable, if the thumb is rested on top of the firing hand (think of how older, straight stocked rifles were gripped to keep the thumb from hitting the shooter's face when firing prone). Wrapping the thumb around the mag well would likely be uncomfortable, unless the shooter has a big paw. Reaching the mag release with the thumb might require shifting grip, though.

This is interesting (from The Firearm Blog):

The 1 Pound Pack-Rifle (And Fishing Pole!)

Granted it's a single-shot, but in a survival situation, that encourages making every shot count.

I'd like to see a trigger guard; even if oversized for a gloved finger.

EDIT: Thinking about this little rifle, I believe the terminology got confused; by "single-shot", they meant "semi-auto", since it looks for all the world like a tube-fed semi.

What I thought about was when my dad taught high school shop, and had to watch out for students making zip guns.

ALL.Whatever it's qualities as a .22 caliber rifle I doubt ANYONE who has ever fished with a one-handed short spinning rod would appreciate such a short,rigid apparatus/thing I would hesitate call it a pole or rod. WB

I'm thinking if you had that .22 and needed a fishing rod, the nearest stick would do as well if not better. :)

 

Alternatively, this means we can call ANY long arm with suitable provision for a length of monofiliment, a couple of hooks and a sinker a fishing rod too. So does that make an SMLE a better fly rod than a No.4 - it has a lighter barrel so it should have a superior casting action....

 

Police Officer - Do you have a permit for that Mauser 98?

Citizen - Yes sir, here is my fishing licence

 

... the damn fish was so big it shifted my point of aim 2 MOA!

 

No Judge, that is NOT a combined bayonet stud and flash hider, it is the attachment point for my Paternoster rig.

 

Marlin, big fish call for heavy artillery - the new XLR in stainless.

 

and think of the market for accessories

 

Penn - the best adaptors for all Picitinny rail systems

 

Shimano recommends the use of only genuine Ruger or Weaver ring bases fitted by a qualified gunsmith

My first thought was something like the Henry AR7.

 

I remember seeing one wit everything folded into the buttstock as well as some basic survival gear like waterproof matches, a mirror and a length of fishing line, hook and lure.

 

One I'd love to have a play with would be the Ruger Charger - It has a real 'solution looking for a problem' vibe about it, but it is certainly sweet looking! :D

Let me toss this one in on the topic.

 

A guy named Stewart was a dedicated gun collector with a focus on three different genres:

 

1. Military training rifles.

 

2. 19th century air guns.

 

3. Revolver carbines and rifles.

 

As he aged, he donated his collection to the VMI Museum in Lexington, Virginia.

 

Should you want to see sixty or so different revolver rifles and carbines, stop by the VMI Museum if you have a chance.
