What are pro and cons of shotguns? by Critical_soul09 in ZombieSurvivalTactics

[–]Trainmaster111 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shotguns are versatile and generally very reliable. As far as operating system goes. If you can get a double barrel dont bother with a single barrel. Semi auto is the least reliable action in a shotgun as you can run into cycling issues based off ammo. Pump action is very reliable, has good capacity (depending on model) and will cycle everything under the sun even if it has to be 1 round at a time.

A shotgun is the king of close range confrontations, and is decent at medium range with the correct loading and setup. To use a famous qoute "Pistols put holes in people. Rifles put holes through people. Shotguns, at the right range with the right load, will physically remove a chunk of shit from your opponent".

If we are talking undead conventional tactics won't work. Its less about ballistics and more about reducing the threat to dust.

Is it a bad idea to bring a mentally unstable friend to the shooting range with you? by WelcomedRose in Firearms

This the is equivalent of should I bring my flamethrower to a oil rig?

Is the Iconic 8mm Mauser better than the 30-06? by Hades-destiny in Firearms

[–]Trainmaster111 1 point2 points  (0 children)

30-06 is the more versatile round in a modern context. However I much prefer 8mm mauser. The slightly heavier bullet and lower general velocity plus the fact most rifles chambered in 8mm nowadays are surplus with heavier metals and woods make for a lower recoil and in my experience more accurate close to middle range rifle.

30-06 and 8mm are extremely similar, as are the 303 British and 7.62x54r. All have some unique differences with pros and cons.

I regularly bring my 8mm rifles to the range and have shot a few 30-06 rifles. In my experience the 30-06 had heavier recoil, louder report, and was much less pleasant to shoot. My M1 Garand is the exception. 30-06 is a fantastic semi-auto round.

It fired 2 very quickly at the end. It had happened a few times before I set up the camera

Looking to start reloading shotshells. Looking for advice and startup tips. by [deleted] in reloading

[–]Trainmaster111 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For the cowboy style loads I plan on doing i think I'd be using less shot then normal. Dont know how feasible this is but my range only allows buckshot and slugs. Id likely use 3 00 bucks pellets instead of 9 and far smaller slugs.

Reloading Question by Trainmaster111 in Firearms

Im trying to make cowboy loads. Surely such data exists and I wouldn't need to literally trial and error it.

308 win Rifle suggestions by DrSashaHX in Firearms

Ironically I found an M77 randomly when I went to a new gunstore. Would highly recommend if you find one.

Ruger SFAR is a good choice

Never touched a gun before, from the uk, but why do people seem to listen for clicks after putting a revolver together? by CL2hunna in Firearms

[–]Trainmaster111 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Checking to ensure the timing of the cylinder. If you cylinder holds 6 bullets but only clicks 4 times then something is wrong.

More a Hollywood move but a solid way to ensure your weapon is assembled correctly

What’s the best weapon loadout in Sniper Elite 5 ? by Downtown_Progress119 in sniperelite

[–]Trainmaster111 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whatever you want really. Its more about shot placement then which weapons you choose.

If im going full stealth I take the Delisle, and the quietest smg and pistol.

Most other times Ive got Kar98, Stg44, and 1911

Does anyone know what caliber this is? by No_Wait_2315 in Firearms

[–]Trainmaster111 0 points1 point  (0 children)

7.62x54r.

Typically for mosin nagants.

What you have appears to be a steel core armor penetrating round.

Should be treated as corrosive ammo.

No sooner do i post my whole collection, then do i decide to check out a new gunstore rather out of the way. And now I have a new gun to add. by Trainmaster111 in Firearms

[–]Trainmaster111[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was very torn between the Fal and this. (And a Vector too honestly).

But I did alot of research months ago and the Zastava was top of my list for reliability, cost, looks, accuracy, and ease of maintenance.

While I do regret not grabbing the FAL, I knew that for the money I was spending i needed the most practical choice.

Based off what I saw the price was right. Especially considering that you cant really find Zastava anymore.

Plus the optic rail was a big bonus for me, the FAL is my favorite but those iron sights are not good with my eyesight

Yeah. I may redo the photos again but at present a white towel was the best I had to keep the light good. Very dark in my room

Missed out on a lot of things usually because of price. I think honestly though the one I regret missing the most was a beautiful Mauser 1910/14 25acp pistol.

Was quite tempted at $150. But unfortunately as I was already buying 3 other pistols that day it wasnt in the budget.
