I read this off of wikipedia's listing for desert eagle-

"A popular misconception with the Desert Eagle is its recoil. Many assume it has an unforgiving kickback due to its high caliber and large size; however the Desert Eagle's recoil itself is not the main problem, since the weapon's weight actually softens the impact of the discharge. The slide on the weapon fires back violently and resumes its original position with authority (the "click" and "clack"), which produces the harsh recoil-like action."

Smith and Wesson, .38+p Airlight revolver, made of aluminum and titanium. Mine is a little dif from the pic, its hammerless, but other than that the same.


Thats mine. I like it cause its the lightest .38 revolver on the markey. 11.2 oz. I like it cause its really light for backpacking. The downside- the kick is pretty harsh, and after 15-20 rounds it starts to get uncomfortable (its rated for +p, but I don't have the guts (or hands) to fire it like that).

ya thats pretty true, but you cant deny the raw power. The barrel is i would guess about 10 or 11 inches, i'll measure it when i get home, cocked back like I had it is about 13 to 14. The gun weighs 5 lbs, and its a 7 round clip. The bullets are about 2 inchs long and they have a little bit larger diameter than a marble. So myn, If you ever come down here towards Miami let me know, we'll go shooting one day. My only advice if you get the chance 2 shoot the DE is lock your arm and have a sturdy stance. My friends gf shot it and almost fell over, hahaha. And scooby, whatcha mean +p? I never heard of that or maybe im just retarded, lol.

Ammunition with extra powder than a regular round. I'm not sure how many extra grains it is, but I know it adds more power.

Wow.. 6GC is scaring me lol

I wonder if its true or just me.. a .38 Glock has more kickback than a .45 Springfield? I always thought that the bigger the number the harder it kicks back lol

Ive shot a couple handguns in a close range before and I suck. Bad!
Maybe Ill go again this summer and "practice some" lol

if u guys ever get a chance, shoot a glock 18. Its probably about as accurate as u can get with a fully auto hand gun, its just fun as hell 2 shoot. And if I was ever getting robbed, just knowing that in 2 seconds u could unload 18 rounds into someone is pretty cool, lol. I think it was 18 rounds, i cant remember, only shot it once.

Glock 18 has a 33rd clip. At least, now they do. It's exactly the same as the Glock 17, except for the fully auto selector on the slide. So, you can actually use the 33rd clip, on the Glock 17. However, I don't know how "legal" that is. Also, Glock 18's are not legal for 'citizens' to own, I don't believe. If I ever find one, I will do my best to unload with it. smile.gif.

if im not mistaken the 33 round clip is its extended clip, i could be wrong tho.

Actually, two strips (32*2) plus four reserve = 68. That's 3" framing nails. 2 3/8 = two strips (35*2) plus four reserve = 74. The gun stops firing at four nails. You'll be happy to know that it can cycle at 10 rounds/second. It weighs 8.5 pounds and is only limited by your air hose.

i guess you need electricity for that, but to operate the nailgun of that type it is done by compressed air.

That, my friends, is most certainly an air nailer, not an electric one (though many compressors are electric) though you are forgiven since the fitting for the the hose is on the other side of the magazine and you can't see it.

You're right... The you will never be able to buy a G18 unless you're law enforcement. However, the G17 is just as good after a simple addition/modification:
http://wannabegt4.myftp.org/Glock/index.html

33rd clips are easy to find and can be purchased by just about anybody. They aren't illegal so long as they are the pre-ban magazines.

My collection of modified Glock 17 videos:

http://wannabegt4.myftp.org/Glock/autoglock.mpeg

My favorite:
http://wannabegt4.myftp.org/Glock/Glock 298rd.wmv
The intro is wrong on this video... it's obviously just a modified G17.

Fine folks... I'm not the one who enjoy firearms, I was just "involved in" short time of my life. However, anyone of critics here, do you ever fire one shot from AK47 (or SA58)? wink.gif I don't how AR-15 or M4 (I have never touch those), but I can tell you we have trained shoot targets 200 meters (about 220 yards) far with those garbages wink.gif. No problem. This garbage has strinikg distance 1100 meters (cca 1200 yards), harms throughout... Dust, sand, water, nothing is the problem for that... garbage. If you have any more questions, don't hesitate and ask biggrin.gif. Don't forget Czech Republic (Czechoslovakia that time) was part of "Eastern block" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eastern_block) so I'm familliar with those "toys" better biggrin.gif wink.gif .


mr third world, brush up on your firearms before you talk. garbage. you said it best... "toys." the ak-47 is a third world gun and is used by iraqis and people apparently in the CR. 220 yards is not impressive. i can hit center mass 220 yards with a 12 gauge shotgun.

ha, i've never tryed anything over 50 yards, except skeet shooting. And I tryed at about 1300 ft. with some sniper rifle, but i sucked so i gave up, lol. But anywho, my point is i know nothing about what u 2 are talkin about so im not gonna put my .02's, all I know is i'd rather own an AR than an AK

"mr third world"? Do you thing I'm from third world country? Brush up on your geography before you talk...

Anyway, I'm not telling you AK or SA is the best, I'm telling you this garbage is more dangerous than your ar-15, m4 because it's 'dumb proof', not faulty, "cheap" and works all the time (sand is no problem for that gun). You know what I'm talking about? That's (one of many reasons) why all stupid terrorist over the world use them...

Just FYI.: one quaint persistence test was made. 20000 shots was fired from those weapons (when cartridge was empty, just change and go on...), after every 3rd cartridge was whole weapon sank into canister with water for a while (cool it down). No problem... try the same with ar-15 or m4. I have nothing more to tell...

i know you arent from a third world country. if you were you wouldnt be using a computer. i was just giving you a hard time.

the conversation stops here. i am an avid firearm user as where you are mild to low training. i have shot all of the above and you have not. MOST guns could be ran through sand, etc and still operate. ive shot multiple AKs where they they have a failures in mutiple regions related to the gun (extract, eject, feed). its why the terrorists are losing. if aks were as good as you hype them to be they would be in the hands of all the american soliders and law enforcement around the world. the ak 47 is not used in the us mil and very very limited in law enforcement.

i highly suggest trying out some more guns before you say the ak-47 is the greatest thing since sliced bread.

fyi: i've shot ak-47, akm, ak-74, and ak-101. they ALL suck.

as far as reliability goes your definatly right, the ak is 'bullet proof' for lack of better words, only other weapon thats as reliable that I can think of are glocks. AK's are not bad weapons at ALL, there just not my style, if i was in a situation where I had 2 worry about my gun jamming, I would choose the AK, if I was in a situation where if I missed my shot, something bad would happen, I'd go M4 hands down.
