Supreme Court ruling: guns are people now ~~and they all vote republican~~

[–] Hazmatastic@lemm.ee 5 points 11 months ago

Hey, they're not full people, only 3/5 of one. They can "appease" gun control proponents and it's a convention they're all familiar with.

The only way to stop a bad gun with a gun is a good gun with a gun.

When I was just a baby
My mama told me, "Son
Always be a baby
Don't ever be a gun"
But I shot a man in Reno
Just to watch him die
I hang my head and cry

Now can they put an even tinier gun inside the pistol though?

[–] MisterNeon@lemmy.world 19 points 11 months ago (2 children)

The pistol grip is a derringer.

[–] HubertManne@kbin.social 10 points 11 months ago

and inside that is one of those tube single shot in a pen james bond type of thing.

[–] z00s@lemmy.world 6 points 11 months ago (2 children)

There is only one correct place for a derringer to be holstered, and that is between the massive boobs of a wild west brothel madam

[–] Ookami38@sh.itjust.works 5 points 11 months ago (2 children)

That's way too cumbersome. I have to take a buxom wench with me everywhere just to defend myself?? And I have to pull my gun from between her boobs? I'll just grow em myself at that point.

[–] ironhydroxide@sh.itjust.works 4 points 11 months ago

Maybe this is why a lot of the people way into self protection are gravy seals. They're just trying to grow a place to hide their derringer.

[–] Leeker@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

I’ll just grow em myself at that point.

So that's why they keep putting estrogen in all the food. Thanks for letting me know.

Apparently there is a world war I gun that was given to snipers that apparently is small enough to hide in your mouth. I hope it had a safety.

you son of a gun

[–] EtherWhack@lemmy.world 9 points 11 months ago (1 children)

For the legitimate military, it actually looks like it could make it helpful when switching to a side arm in a single, fluid movement. Unfortunately, with standard rifle harnesses (with the rifle's butt always at the shoulder) it may only makes it easier when switching to and not from. It would also put it in an odd position when just the handgun would be needed/holstered. I also imagine there'd be a learning curve, as most would automatically go to their hip/thigh for their sidearm, like they learned in training.

I'm assuming this was originally an idea intended to slim down the dress (less equipment at the hips) for certain specialist missions.

Nah, it's just like 90% of aftermarket parts for the AR. It's sole purpose is to look cool to guys who are in private militias.

Deployed troops are rarely issued sidearms, and when they are it's primary purpose is typically just dressing for officers. Plus, that wouldn't last a month on deployment, it's held together by a plastic alligator clip and a pin set into plastic. Shit would be flopping open and getting caught on straps all day.

[–] sxan@midwest.social 7 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Plus, in my day, at least, that's where we kept a cleaning kit.

[–] TranscendentalEmpire@lemm.ee 4 points 11 months ago

Pssh, you don't need to clean your rifle. What you need is a couple extra pounds of weight in your stock. I am designing a new attachment for the AR that molds the butt stock into the shape of a rucksack.

This sounds unwieldy and unnecessary, but we've designed your rucksack to be easily stored away in your rucksack for safe keeping.

[–] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

turns out in real life the best sidearm is the geneva convention, if a soldier is ever where a spot where they'd hypothetically need a sidearm the best bet is probably to put your hands on your neck and hope they respect the whole "no mistreating prisoners of war" bit.

[–] TranscendentalEmpire@lemm.ee 1 points 11 months ago

If not I guess the pistol would come in handy? Easier to take yourself out of the equation without having to take off your boots.

[–] owenfromcanada@lemmy.world 9 points 11 months ago

It's a 100% gun-fed gun, for that double gun goodness.

[–] Sotuanduso@lemm.ee 8 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Am I seeing this right? Is this a pistol to rifle adapter?

[–] Buelldozer@lemmy.today 14 points 11 months ago (1 children)

No, it's a pistol holder built into the butt of a rifle stock. They've been around a while they are just stupid and impractical.

[–] Sotuanduso@lemm.ee 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

It's a little bit cool, but not nearly as cool as I thought it was. Granted, a pistol to rifle adapter wouldn't be very practical either.

[–] p1mrx@sh.itjust.works 2 points 11 months ago

If you ever want to build one, just remember bullets don't like going around corners.

[–] Ookami38@sh.itjust.works 2 points 11 months ago

I thought it was at first. They're not entirely uncommon, just giving the pistol a more stable platform. But no, this one appears to be a buttstock holster. Giving me Luger vibes in a way.

I really don’t like guns, but I have to admire this design solution.

[–] merthyr1831@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago (1 children)

that's the free fun the armed officer is allowed to give you since you're a taxpayer

[–] Leeker@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

I mean you are given one of those when you are born or when you officially swear in as an American. But it is always nice when our officers do some community out reach like this.
