Remington's Argumentative Essay: Why Box It Up?

Gangsters would use a 12 gauge double barrel sawed off shotgun to deal devastating blows up close. The sawed off would come in handy when they would need a quick escape because

Rifles with Minié bullets were easy and quick to load, but soldiers still had to pause and reload after each shot. This was inefficient and dangerous. By 1863, however, there was another option: so-called repeating rifles, or weapons that could fire more than one bullet before needing a reload. The most famous of these guns, the Spencer carbine, could fire seven shots in 30 seconds.

During the Civil War, rifled muskets were all the rage. The Rifled Musket was adopted by the U.S. Army in 1858. These new type of muskets had grooves inside of the barrel, meaning that if this gun was partnered with the Minié ball, it would increase both the range and the accuracy of the bullet. The smooth-bore musket (the previous generation of muskets) did not have grooves in the barrel. This means that the bullet is not spinning as it exits and there is a margin of error depending where the bullet exits. This severely reduces the accuracy of a smooth-bore musket. The farther the bullet goes, the more off-target it travels because of the aforementioned margin of error. The Minié ball had grooves and had

Mr. Deaner said that “If your rifle doesn’t have a good base it doesn’t matter if your barreled action is perfect or not, it still won’t shoot to its potential. By the same token, if your barrel is a stinker all the glass bedding in the world won’t do much good.” I agree 100% Once I know my barrel is good to go, the first thing I replace with an aftermarket mart is the stock. I currently run Boyd’s stocks on two of my bolt guns and I love the way they fit my hand. I never even though of shooting accurately beyond 100 yards with a .22lr, but after doing a little work on my Savage FVSR in a Boyds stock I’m shooting sub MOA groups at 100 yards… I was very impressed with what I’m able to do with this gun after utilizing some of what I’ve read in our coursework.

One of the worst weapons I have certification on is the shotgun. The shotgun is a very powerful and intimidating weapon, but you must have a proper fit and stance. A shotgun and its stock are designed based on the dimensions of an average shooter. It has an average length of pull that is measured from the trigger to the center of the recoil pad. A shotgun, needs the proper fitting of a comb, length of pull, cast and drop to meet a comfortable shooting experience.

Taming slug guns; this is a very interesting article to me as I have shot single barrel shotguns in my youth and know all too well how much they kick, however, I have never seen a shotgun with ported holes drilled in it to reduce the kick. This has truly opened my eyes to how there are so many ways to modify guns to fit the person using it. In my opinion, I would think that drilling holes in the top of the barrel would cause the gun to lose some power/distance of the projectile(s). By releasing gas out of the top of the barrel the pressure that is used to push the projectile down the barrel would lose velocity.

Infantry used the M-67 recoilless rifle to destroy bunkers. It was a breach-loaded single shot rifle (much like a bazooka and other

A Mossberg 500 is a series of pump action firearm manufactured by O.F. Mossberg and the sons. The 500 series comprises widely varying models of Hammer less repeaters, all of which share the same basic receiver and action, but differentiate in bore size,barrel length,choke options,magazine capacity,stock and forearm materials. Model numbers include the 500 series are the 500,505,510,535 and the 590. Made in 1961, all model 500's are based on the same basic concept designed by Carl Benson originally using a single action bar,that was known the bind and even break, but this was changed to a double action bar in the 1970's,following the expiration of Remington's patent on the double action bar design. A single large locking

Both are considered long guns because they are shot from the shoulder and held with two hands. One of the major differences between the two is the barrel. On a rifle the barrel has a thicker wall with a smaller bore and rifling. Rifling is a thin grove or ridges inside the bore to give a spin on the projectile, which increases accuracy and distance. Shotgun has a thinner wall with a smooth bore. Specialty shotguns may have a choke in the bore, which adds a narrowing about 1½ inch from the end of barrel, to control the shot as it leaves. Another option for a choke is a screw on choke. When using a screw on choke one must be cautious about using the correct threaded choke, such as a Remington choke with a Remington barrel. A second difference is rifles use a cartridge and shotgun uses shells. Cartridges are measured in calibers and shells are measured in gages, except .410gage, which is acutely a caliber and would be equivalent to 68gage. Both rifles and shotguns have different types actions, such as single shot, semi-automatic and

At this time, a fresh round comes out of the magazine tube and hits the carrier release, then the bolt is driven forward by the action main spring. The carrier then lifts the next shell to be chamber for the following shot.

The bolt-action rifle operates by a rotating bolt system. This system features a single bolt that when rotates it ejects, cocks, and reloads the rifle for the next round. To operate this rifle, first you rotate the bolt upward which engages the primary extraction cam. This primary extraction cam is located on top of the rear bridge. This grabs the spent shell by the grooves at back and begins to extract it from the chamber of the

Even if it is the handler that makes a gun shoot accurately, sometimes it’s the quality of the weapon that makes every little difference. Working with low-quality equipment is difficult, especially when your job requires you to make every shot count. That is why GunCo.

First of all I am going to describe what exactly a shotgun is. A shotgun is designed to be fired from the shoulder. The shotgun fires a shell that holds numerous spherical pellets, also called shot when buying them from stores they are classified by the amount of

Along with centerfire bullets and guns came another advancement that we still use to this day in almost every common military rifle. The vertical fed magazine at first they were integrated into the gun itself. Meaning you loaded the bullets from the top of the gun into the magazine that was attached. This was very common during WWI and was even seen into WWII. The advantage of these vertically fed magazines was at first not recognized. The tube magazine was still the most prevalent for quite a while even after the invention of vertical

There are a lot of things about shotguns, so I'll start with this, "Few things in the world of modern firearms can compare to the combination of power, versatility and effectiveness of a shotgun. Since the early 19th century, the scattergun’s ability to adapt to the ever modernizing world had lead to applications in hunting, military, shooting sports, law enforcement and home defense. " This is saying
