Gun wankery

Any idea what the thing in the bottom right corner is?

 

[DanAngleland]

Not me, but it looks like a low-fantasy computer game idea of a gun to my eyes. From my perspective (a layman with no experience of handling loaded guns), it doesn't look like there's a good place to put your supporting hand when firing it, with the barrel being so short and the magazine so long and close to the trigger guard.

 

[BenKenobi]

Nah, it is a long rifle that, however, lacks a barrel with a handguard, upper parts and a scope.

Finally identified as a Romanian PSL rifle

So, half of a wannabe Dragunov?

effectively, yea

Ah, it's appearance makes more sense now.

How do you like that 6.8 SPC?

I haven't hit a pig with it yet, I was using a 6x45 but wanted more punch.

...crocks/sandal style flippers with socks?!
Yeesh.

It is the way.

 

[Seff]

I'm not familiar with either, but 6x45 sounds like it'd just be higher velocity.

It's just .223 necked up to 6mm. I was shooting 87gn VMAX in an AR.

 

[Seff]

Sounds easy to shoot.

Edit: Broken link aaaah.

M1 Garand goes ping, didn't **** up my thumb, it was fun.. Not my gun, unfortunately. It is one of my swords though

 

[Seff]

I took my Garand to a shooting cinema, and proceeded to double tap a bunch of wild boars far faster than my 20 year old cousin, who hunts far more than I do.

 

[Baguette Eater]

Shooting cinema?

 

[Seff]

It's a big wall that can sense hit placement, and they they project a video onto it, that can show the hit placement. Typically running boars or elk.

 

[Baguette Eater]

Neat, sounds fun. We have something similar at work, a virtual shooting range with sensors and ****.

 

[Seff]

Danish army only has ranges with moving targets for AT work, so I never got to train that part with a rifle. It was fun.
