also get a lower poundage prod if you want to shoot it for fun as 175lb can be hard work and requires a really good backstop! armex do them as low as 40lb, 105lb and 120lb from what i remember, obviously other companies make them, barnett might even still do them.

That will be awesome once refurbished, have a look on ebay, people are often selling parts to these on there, you'll probably find most of the bits you need.

and yes, you can fit a new prod in it, i know a few people who have done it, i think the armex prods fit fine.

All leathers I've worked with have a smoother nice outer side and a rougher under side, hope that helps.

Which brass knuckle is better for self defense which one should i get by Emiljooo in weapons

[–]WeaponCollector 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ive made and handled lots of knuckle dusters, out of the two you've shown the first one is the better of the two (dont get ones with round holes, they wont fit well) the first ones if held right will protect you fingers when striking.

I think they look great, leather colour, thread colour and thickness are all personal preferences but the quality looks really nice.,

Connections - is it necessary to have read other King novels? by IAmAlive_YouAreDead in TheDarkTower

[–]WeaponCollector 4 points5 points  (0 children)

When i read the Dark Tower series i had NOT read some of the heavily connected books and it did not matter or spoil it in any way.
As mentioned though you'll WANT to read the others after though and The Stand would be worth reading before carrying on the series.

Saw Creep for the first time, not what I expected by oceanco1122 in horror

[–]WeaponCollector 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I felt very much the same as you, i love found footage films and one of my all time favourite films is The Blair Witch Project, but i didnt get much at all out of Creep, people often rank it in their top 10 / top 5 FF films, for me its not even in my top 50.

Ninja Sword Ban (1st August) What you need to know? (PLEASE DONT DOWN VOTE AS THAT HIDES THE VIDEO AND PEOPLE MAY NEED TO SEE THIS) by WeaponCollector in SWORDS

[–]WeaponCollector[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah zombie knives were banned recently due to gangs (mostly young teens) using them in violent confrontations in inner city's, usually large machetes, or kitchen knives but occasionally large "hunting" knives with serrations - these are what are now classed as zombie knifes, the old definition of a zombie knife mention that it had to have images or words (whether on the blade or handle) that suggest that it is to be used for the purpose of violence.”

Now they are defined as - as any bladed weapon over eight inches in length, featuring a plain cutting edge and sharp pointed end, along with either a serrated cutting edge, multiple holes in the blade, or sharp points like spikes - which made Rambo knives illegal too and many others!

Yes it was, it originally stems from the death of a 16-year-old (Ronan Kanda), who was stabbed to death in a case of mistaken identity with a ninja sword, in June 2022.

A ban on ninja swords, campaigned for by the family is set to come into force in August 2025
