Well, no, but can you turn a AK-47 into a .50 cal rifle?

[Harmony Ltd.]

Well, there's this...

And this page tell me there is something like this :

B94 (Semi-Auto Rifle 12.7 x 107 mm)

But google won't give me more details.

On another hand, this is interesting.

[jacky2734]

A coworker gave me a gun to fix up for his son-in-law.

It's an FIE Tex .22 cal revolver based off of the Colt SAA.
The cylinder doesn't lock up unless you jerk the hammer back real fast, there's a substantial gap between the barrel and the cylinder, the push tab for the ejector rod is broken off, the finish is subpar and worn away, and not only was FIE an importer known for importing poor quality firearms from Europe, but they went out of business in the 1990s and replacement parts are virtually impossible to find.

[Harmony Ltd.]

Did you try turning it off and on again ?

[jacky2734]

What?

[Harmony Ltd.]

(joke about computer helpdesks, and how the first thing the operators generally ask when people call for a problem about their computers is if they tried restarting it to solve the issue. So in meta terms it was [obvious and unhelpful advice].)

[jacky2734]

You know, you meant that as a joke, but I went and flicked the safety lever off and on a couple of times and now the cylinder's locking into place, the barrel-cylinder gap's been reduced, and it's even hitting the target dead on now.

I AM A GUN PSYCHIC

[RoboRed]

...I don't even...

[Frost]

I knew it. Harmony's not really French, he was born in Georgia. That's how he knows so much about guns

[Harmony Ltd.]

Harmony [...] was born in Georgia.

Now you are insulting me.

[Frost]

You fled to Europe because everyone made fun of you for being so short

[Harmony Ltd.]

I am not short, I am simply slightly smaller than average, is all.

[Frost]

Over here we call that "short". Alternatively "midget", "mutant", "pigmy", "deformed freak" or "stunted little fucker". Mostly 'short' though

[Harmony Ltd.]

All these adjectives, of course, can apply to your dick.

[Frost]

Eh, not like I'm using it

[Harmony Ltd.]

As I was saying...

[Frost]

I'm not quite sure what you were saying. Something about how you're not really a dwarf

[jacky2734]

I'm just going to jump right in here and change the subject.

What's the biggest gun you've ever fired?
The biggest one I've fired would have to be the Browning M-2.

[Harmony Ltd.]

@ Frost : Something along those lines

[Ironmonger]

Biggest gun I've ever fired to date is an old 20 gauge which can burn in the fires of hell.

[Harmony Ltd.]

What's the biggest gun you've ever fired?

Compressed air pellet carbine

[Admiral Stoic Rum]

biggest bullet diameter wise is the .45

biggest blast/recoil 12 gauge shotgun

largest sized weapon would be the 30-06

[Guest]

12 gauge.

Can't remember how old I was just that I wasn't in school yet. My dad had been hunting recently and thought it would be fun. So he got me all set, told me what to do and then I got knocked on my ass.

[Frost]

Depending on how you define 'biggest', either a 12 gauge or a 7.62*54R

@Harmony: "error loading video"

[Harmony Ltd.]

@ frost : search "zardoz speaks" on youtube.

[RoboRed]

What's the biggest gun you've ever fired?

My Remington 1100 12 gauge.

[Admiral Stoic Rum]

mines a remington 870... it has the shorter barrel...

[StoneSlinger88]

And there's been another shooting. Out in California this time. Sad, depressing yes. But...

I can't take listening to either side of this bullshit anymore! They all need to shut the fuck up! This is really getting annoying. "Stupid hicks" "Commie hippies" goddammit five people are fucking dead and they're using it to push their beliefs on others. Not by writing to their senator, or their representative, who might actually be able to do something, but to clobber each other over the head with the fucking rhetoric like fucking wiffle bats! Jesus Backflippin' Christ forbid they do something fucking useful for once in their miserable fucking lives instead of giving politicians fodder to grab panic-votes by promising one bag of bullshit over another bag of bullshit. Fucking shitbag motherfucking assclowns. God damn.

I need my coffee.

[Admiral Stoic Rum]

Oh my.
