Seems common in the gun industry that people will have no or few issues with a firearm, but once one popular blogger or youtuber gets the one that has issues everyone bandwagons and shit on it. I vaguely remember it happening with Faxon's ARAK-21, although that mostly dropped off due to pricing and offending both side of the AR/AK debate. Faxon's kinda-sorta down the street from where I work, good people, amuses me that Ohio is home to both Hi-Point, kings of cheap firearms, and Faxon and Ohio Ordnance, who you'll need to sell a kidney to afford their fancy stuff.

I wonder what they're shooting, cartridge and/or powder-wise. Visible debris and flames aren't really normal, much less when they just lazily fart out like that. No recoil either.

It could be some new shells the Russians created specifically to target drones.
I've heard the Russians even made this new jamming gun that can bring drones by jamming its signals.
But the uniforms tell me they're likely DPR/LPR forces rather than Russian regulars.

Also, thought you all might get a kick out of this. For reference, my land was settled just a bit after the Revolutionary War and kept in the same family to this day. The house I live in was built in 1910, and we have oooooooold shit everywhere. Found this in the gunsafe built into the wall. It is turning into dust, I need to scan it eventually.
Just thought you all might like to see that, yes, you could always buy a cannon. Even the cutting edge gatling gun. And you used to just fucking mail order catalogue for it. You want a musket used in the Revolution? That's gonna run you $12, rich boy.
Makes me sick looking through it, though. I can see the X's where the man who built the house, we'll call him G (gun nut and militaria nut) marked off things he had bought. According to FIL, some not so good family ransacked G's house after he passed and sold everything that wasn't nailed down. Civil War pistols, suits of Armor, Muskets from the Revolution, Swords used in the Napoleanic War, ammo, outfits, etc..... I was lucky to have found his WW1 pistol he was smart enough to put under the floorboards after having it nickel plated. I coulda accidentallied into a dream collection. Will end up scanning the rest of this once I buy a cheap scanner, will upload it somewhere for kiwis to browse through at their leisure.

You should donate the catalogue to a local museum after you have it scanned. I think they are going to know how to preserve something like this.

It is a real shame that G's collection was mostly looted by foul creatures. Mayhaps the tides of fortune will turn and you will somehow get his collection back.

That's actually a good idea. We have some pretty nice war and arms museums nearby.
And yeah, I wish. But easy come is easy go, never come, you'd never know.
I'm happy about what he left already. His war pistol and a beautiful home he built by hand for his wife. And a trillion other things from all over the world. To be fair to the scavs, 'hoarders' would not be an incorrect assessment of all the property and all the houses on it. One of my favorite things of his was an original "Mind Your Business" fugio cent. That's in the lockbox for the future kids to enjoy. I guess the scavengers didn't bother looking at the pennies when raiding his coin collections. FIL tells stories of the family finding thousands of dollars tucked in shoes, sewn into clothes, in the vents, folded into books, behind his paintings, behind the bricks in the fireplace, silver and gold melted into nails and hidden in the woodwork, Great Depression habits, etc.... He says G buried a box somewhere in our woods that nobody knows what was in, but I think he may just be poking fun at my autism to go through all the stuff. We're restoring the house, will let you know if I find any other wicked guns or crazy stuff hidden somewhere.

Until you posted this, I had never read the poem on the cover. But I think you're right.

"When Virgil sang of Troops with arms disabled,
He little dreamed in those old times gone by
How Bannerman today, if promptly called
With arms the Roman legion could supply"
-Dedicated to Frances Bannerman
by Louis Bedoe, July 1905

I volunteer at a war and arms museum close to where and I live and we have a nice collection of old books and vehicle manuals that are currently stacked in those massive opaque rubbermaid containers with lids inside a military radio truck that is sitting in a field with dozens of other unrestored military vehicles.

How big is this property? It sounds like it is over 100 acres.

Was the house not locked? Was there no one living on the property?

I presume you are not a direct line descendant of G but your wife and child(ren) are?

Scanning the woods with a metal detector might be worth it.

I look forward to your next update on what you find in the Land of G.
 
Statistically, you're more likely to be involved in a mass shooting than have your Sig go off by itself.

But you're right, I do own a 365XL. I don't know if that is why I don't use shitlib logic when it comes to the P320 though.

I personally do not trust the safety mechanism of the P320 because I've taken one apart myself to see how much force is needed to disable it (barely nothing touching the trigger) and for an expensive gun, you would at the minimum expect to receive it with a trigger safety........like any other striker fired handgun currently on the market that can be had at a lower price with competing quality.

It's also worth mentioning that Sig did their own investigation into the Montville, CT incident to shift blame away from themselves, and in the process, referred a TQ as a holster retention hood.

In the same way that most police will blame the gun to shift blame away from themselves?

Look, you don't like the P320 that's fine. But stop acting like every Sig, let alone every P320, is just shooting itself when that absolutely is not the case. It's a tired meme as it is, but it also makes the people who make the claim look really ignorant when the actual statistics are taken into account.

I got no beef with Sig or Sig owners one of the smoothest shooting tack drivers I ever tried was an x-five legion no my issue stems from the rumors of them using parts outsourced to India.

Never underestimate the will of a Fudd with too much time on their hands and a garage full of tools. It's how we got the Owen SMG, the AI sniper system and that guy in England who created a gun out of hardware store nuts and bolts

Here's what Gun Jesus had to say on the matter:

TLDW the problem happened when you dropped it on the rear sight at a specific angle, and there are still unrepaired P320s out there, because some owners either haven't heard about the design flaw or don't think it'll happen to them.

A lot of PDs have adopted the 320 because the military did.

Full disclosure: I own a P320, and bought it last year, so I'm not worried. They addressed the problem on their newer pistols; they'd be in deep shit if they just ignored it. I'm not necessarily a Sig fanboy, but until I see evidence to the contrary, I'll assume those incidents were cops having N.D.s.

Those guys are anti-Fudds. Fudd is a learned-helplessness state of mind, not something you can have imposed upon you against your will.
 
I'll throw my non-sigger opinion in that a inspec 320 is probably fine but the design lacks any failsafe so if it's not inspec you have a high chance of a whoopsy daisey. So long as Sig's QC is up to standard it is most likely fine, of course that's the problem.

You could also go after market to add some actual failsafes to it.

Huge drama in the 3D Gun world
TLDR: Basically Cody Wilson of DEFCAD (the netflix of 3D Guns, you pay a subscription and get access to all the files they host, totally obsolete, huge issues with the site, only exists due to some State Department bullshit) has been taking files that were created by and hosted and distributed freely by persons than people other than himself and putting them on DEFCAD (which you need to pay to access) without the permission of the creators.
1706717167648.png

Respone of "PLA+ Boi" (creator of the above mentioned suppressor designs)
"Looks like im back on defcad. Defcad sells my designs without my consent. Reminder that all of my files are FREE and always will be"

DEFCAD is also falsely claiming to be "the home" of "The Gatalog" (Formerly Deterrence Dispensed), The Gatalog is an independent organization with it's own website and file hosting repository
The personalities involved The Gatalog are in fact extremely opposed to Mr. Wilson and his organizations on both a personal and philosophical basis
1706717543104.png

Ivan The Troll, the most prominent figure in the 3D Printed gun world aside from Wilson, wrote a very long post summarizing his feelings on the situation

In Russian Military and PMC circles, there is a popular song called "Summer and Crossbows" when pronounced in Russian it is "leto i arbalet". That kind of sort of rhymes with what is pictured below, Zenitco and Bayonet

Why do so many people into guns not understand the concept of quality control? All of the people declaring that "guns never go off on their own" are just as irrational as people who always blame their ADs on the gun. Anyone remember the Remington 700 debacle? Why is it so hard to believe that a firearm could have a manufacturing defect that affects only a certain percentage of production runs? "Hasn't happened to me" So? Would you say the same thing if your car got factory recalled?
