Bad Publicity?

Effective firing range of a glock is considered to be 50 metres. Though they could manage further.

For black powder pistols to semi reliably hit a 6 inch grouping i have found repeatedly the figure of 50 feet to be quoted. So 15 metres effective range before it can wizz off of the intended target (the magic of rifling).

So yes.  Glocks are more dangerous in range.  And lets not forget the rate of fire improvement...

This kinda agrees

Again, no school shootings in Europe using black powder guns. Why? Not cool?

 
Most firearm altercations happen at 6-7 meters distance (I remember that from a Police Academy training movie) so I think still a Billy Kid revolver wins over a knife or machete and may win against a modern firearm if drawn faster. But the point is, why people don’t kill themselves using black powder guns during road rage if they are so easily available? Because they are not cool? C’mon man as Sleepy Joe would say.
I wouldn’t trust a word Steve Guttenberg  says

At those ranges then according to this bastion of science. A knife would do better





 
Not sure I understood your responses but if the only argument is that black powder guns are not cool, then there’s no sense in continuing this conversation. Is such revolver less deadly than a glock?
I don’t think people are saying that. I think the point that they are making is as a viable fire arm for use they aren’t very good. 

 
And I'm sorry but Joe public will not be as well trained as professionals, and professionals still make mistakes.
I know only well and fairly trained ones. Do you think a mandatory training every once in a while would do the job?

I don’t understand why. White people conquered America and half of the world using those. I’m pretty sure a concealed BP Derringer can be a life saver in some situations.

Awful amount of red tape to own something that people in the uk have done without for so long.

Really? Because.... https://m.novinite.com/articles/197383/Two+Injured+in+School+Shooting+in+Poland

 
Did you read that? They don’t say what was he shooting with. Also, is that all? Wow.
Lets see when the last school shooting in the uk was 1996... 

So thats a point towards pro gun control.  One injury is too much. Every death a tragedy.

And by the by. If your going to debate. Do research.  He was armed with.  You guessed it. Black powder guns...

"Examples include school shooting in May 2019 when a student wounded two people using an unlicensed black powder firearm and some fireworks"

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gun_laws_in_Poland

it quotes polish news sources if you check the citation as i know wiki is not the be all.

either way. Try again

I think we really should finish this whole debate now. What a great range of views we have and some absolutely smart people. Well done all Now can we go back now to chuttering about KM and calling out over priced pew pews? 

 
People who cant handle being shot at airsoft with snipers from beyong the minimum engagement distance shouldnt play. Km seems to be a dickhead from all im seeing but a 1 joule limit is sad. At the start of everygame to play everyone should be hit by a sniper in the hands of marshall so they know what it feels like and can get over it. I hate headshots but its the price to pay for my enjoyment when i hand them out (not intentionally but when thats all i can hit). Chrono'ing should be taken seriously by all sites though and done properly everytime and rechecked when needed.

As for real guns dont know how you guys got to talking about that.

Its a very complicated issue that has no point coming out of my mouth considering i live in a country of people who are disarmed. Is this good or bad, its not affected me but is it whats right for the rest of the world? You guys can debate that lol 

Back to KM used to watch his videos unsubbed after all this drama, he needs to grow up. This person trying to enforce a 1 joule limit is silly as well has he never wanted to play with a DMR or a VSR 10? he wont be able to if he gets his way.

 
“Ex soldier owns everyone” namesnicco? KM’s sidekick NamesNicco? Nah never heard of him ?
Haha so I recently thought, "I can't tell if it's me, but these videos aren't great" To put it politely.

No Idea who KM is at this point. Discover KM through this lovely thread. And boom stumble across a video with KM and namesnicco. 

All of a sudden it made sense ?Not a fan of either of their styles.
