To the gun nuts in this thread...

*There Will Be Blood Spoiler*

What was the small wussy gun that Daniel Plainview used to kill that guy? It looked like the most wimpy gun ever made.

I own one deactivated shotgun that was bought as a prop, but I have at least 3 cricket bats spread around the house at any given time so zombies had best beware.

God help you if it was a mother with her little ones hidden nearby; the bitch wont quit until either her or everything that qualifies as "threat to her young" is dead and torn to pieces.
Also, I have seen a grown country man jump on top of a charging boar and cut the throat of the beast with his knife.
So yeah, the John Locke method works in real life, but only if you're one mean and tough bastard.
Hunting them with a shotgun can be disastrous as well. I've heard of a story of a friend's brother who unloaded a round of buckshot into the side only to see them glance off it's hide. He had to scramble up a tree to save himself.
That's enough to make me worry if any handgun will be effective enough as a last ditch against those things.

I'd say it depends on the handgun, but the real issue is your ability to fire at a charging target...no amount of accuracy at the gun range will help you when something big, angry and with killing intent charges at you (BTW, thats why the hunters I've meet carry sharp, strong knives when hunting; that boomstick aint gonna help you for shit at close quarters, pal).
The shotgun problem, as far as I'm concerned, is that people keep assuming they have high stopping power; sure, they do, but at close range or depending on the type of shell you're using. The shotgun is used for hunting birds because of its spreading shot, allowing you to cover a large area.
Against a boar or any other large animal, a shotgun is crap unless you're at close range and have the right, which isnt a good idea in the first place unless you're an experienced, focused hunter.
BTW, I'm not a hunter at all...this is all family/work experience, I actually hate hunting unless its necessary hunting for food or to help control a plague on an ecosystem....which sadly is a common necessity.

Shotguns are exceptionally effective at making the things you point them at die, but solid slugs are preferable against most game animals. More so than 00 or 000 buckshot. It also depends on how the shotguns barrel is "choked". A full-choked barrel good for popping a fat Canada Goose at 80 yards with #6 shot, is not going to be as effective against larger game. Contrariwise, a cylinder-bore riot shotgun used with slugs is not going to get you your Christmas goose.

My fiancee is terrified of handguns, so much so that she leaves the room when I clean them after a day at the range. However, she shows no fear at all of the Benelli M4 that I keep next to the bed. Go figure...

Exactly! Although one of the hunters i've meet always told anyone interested in hunting to "Never believe in the killshot", as he put it...in less zen, he meant that you should never, EVER, grow confident with your gun's power; just because a solid slug dropped a charging boar a couple times before doesnt mean you wont meet the one mean bastard who'll keep charging at you even after having half it's mug blown off.

Come on, you own a "backup"?

On the other hand...

Quote:
LEBANON, Pa. - A soccer mom who gained national attention when she openly carried a loaded gun to her 5-year-old daughter's game was shot dead Wednesday along with her husband in what appeared to be a murder-suicide, police said.

Meleanie Hain and Scott Hain were pronounced dead Wednesday night at their home in Lebanon, a small city about 80 miles west of Philadelphia.

Meleanie Hain made headlines after she attended a children's soccer game in a park on Sept. 11, 2008, with a handgun in plain view holstered on her hip, upsetting other parents.

The county sheriff, Michael DeLeo, revoked her gun-carrying permit nine days later.


Hain sued DeLeo in federal court, alleging that he violated her constitutional rights and prosecuted her maliciously when he took the permit away. She said that because of his actions her baby-sitting service had suffered, her children had been harassed and she had been ostracized by her neighbors in Lebanon, which has about 25,000 residents.

I'd love to see someone "John Locke" this:




Hey now!



ETA: Hate to spoil the "fun," but in the interest of disclosure, the above "wild hog" was of course, revealed to have been a rather sweet animal that was raised by a farmer. Apparently, it played with his grandkids (!) all the time. Four days before this photo was taken, he sold it to a game preserve in... surprise surprise, Alabama. The little redneck chub hunted the poor thing down in a fenced in area.

But still... it proves that through some chance, you COULD come across an actual wild/feral version of that fucking thing.

Javelinas = the worst. I grew up with a dude who was out hunting once and had to climb a tree and hang out there for an hour or two until the little shits finally left. Then he packed up his gear and gave up for the day.

I kinda would have liked to see nature get the upper hand, especially with that sadistic weirdo.

Been there, done that. One of the scarier experiences in my life. I wasn't even looking for the guys. Pack came walking up on me while just walking property in West Texas. It was a mad dash back to the truck.

i feel like he meant that it was only that gigantic because it was farm-raised, and that it probably would not have gotten that big on it's own in the wild. but i don't want to speak for joey

Horrid's just trying to force his own perspective on us. Horrid tries to seem big and bad, but it's a trick.

Yeah, it's been said that they used forced perspective in the pic as well. Certainly looks like they did. Nonetheless, that's a huge fucking hog anyway you slice it.

I just posted the "disclosure" because it makes the twat lording over the beast look like a little bit more of an Alabama twat. A real badass who hunted down a sweet farm raised pig in a fenced in hunting preserve. What a BADASS.

I took my wife to a gun range last Friday to shoot for the first time. My Lodge was doing a '2nd Amendment Friday' (we usually do these twice a year) and I finally talked her into going along. Over the course of 3 hours, she shot a .45, a 9mm, a .357, and an automatic shotgun.

She's a natural: she got a fucking BULLSEYE with the 9mm. She had so much unexpected fun that she's actually talking about buying a 9mm and going again.

I'd better not piss her off anymore.

To be honest Stelios, any women who really wants her husband dead won't need a gun to do so. Just cut off the sex. He'll die from the inside, or from the divorce after he cheated on her from the lack of said sex. It's much more cruel than a gun.

I dunno man...the temptation to shoot the tip of a penis off from afar might be too much to resist.
