Wondering if you all would have an interset in something

(1/3) > >>

Galvatron:
I chit chat about the use of guns in fiction quite a bit, and find that loads of folk dont have a deep knowdlge of the subject.

What I'm wondering is this, how many of you would find a basic writers guide to handguns helpful?

If there is no interest I wont go further with it, but if people seem to want it I'd be happy to type something up.

Figured I'd offer at least

LizW65:
I'd be interested, specifically in vintage weapons from the 1930's - 1940's era. I get most of my gun info from my SO, who is an enthusiast, but a second source is always a good thing to have.
My male protagonist so far has a Luger (his brother-in-law took it off a SS officer), a 1930's vintage police-issue Colt, and a double-barreled, sawed-off Remington (since confiscated.) My female protag. has an unspecified .38 handgun.

Galvatron:
Liz I sent you a PM with some factiods on those weapons.

I think I'll put out a guide that will discuss calibers, the guns, and some popular ways to carry them as well as some of the things I see authors flub up constantly.  Prob post it later today, hopefully some folk get some use out of it.

CenturionsofRome:
I have a character who uses a Berretta 92F alot, however the gun is excceedingly old and occasioinally breaks due to age. Note: the character only has access to ammo that is subsonic, though just barely. What would be the first things to go in a gun that is rated for several tens of thousands of rounds before failure?

LizW65:
Galvatron, your PM didn't go through for some reason. I deleted a bunch of old messages; maybe that will help.
