I've shot just about everything short of artillery, and laugh through movies with guns most of the time.Natehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11122970078469438967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4912713243046142041.post-6783095024736393832010-06-24T08:48:07.189-05:002010-06-24T08:48:07.189-05:00#2.

Semi automatics that are SAO will typically only need to be cocked for that first shot. The slide cocks the hammer for the next shot during the backstroke.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4912713243046142041.post-59403595032173434462010-06-23T15:27:15.060-05:002010-06-23T15:27:15.060-05:00#2 On a revolver, cocking the hammer makes the wea...#2 On a revolver, cocking the hammer makes the weapon easier to fire with less finger pressure on the trigger.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4912713243046142041.post-6533164109042900502010-06-22T20:33:12.538-05:002010-06-22T20:33:12.538-05:00#5 I've fired a MAC-10 .45 with a Sionics supp...#5 I've fired a MAC-10 .45 with a Sionics suppressor - all you can hear is the clickity-clickity-clack of the action cycling. Because it's subsonic.<br /><br />I also use suppressors on my big guns - a .308 and a .50 . You still get the sonic boom "crack", but the muzzle report is totally gone.<br /><br />This is a real advantage, as the .50 especially is _JARRING_ with just a muzzle brake - limiting a practice session to 20-30 rounds.KevinMnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4912713243046142041.post-34616537086537696992010-06-22T18:05:03.595-05:002010-06-22T18:05:03.595-05:00Item #4-- Years ago cowboys in the movies used to ...Item #4-- Years ago cowboys in the movies used to shoot all day long with a six-shooter.
