what is that weird hat on your head

I'm nooooooot sure what you mean!

hi guys

Ahoy OA! How did work go?

Im bored in class... this quiz sucks...

What's the quiz over hyjin?

calculus... its awful

Oh man. Math. Math math math. Math was never my strong point. Mostly because it wasn't something I could worm my way out of.

I missed 4 questions. 3 were correct but the test counted them wrong

Aw man, that sucks! Was it an automated or electronic test?

Electronic test

Eee, I'm sorry. I really don't see how those are supposed to work for anything math.

I dont either lol. Bc most of the time it will only accept 1 answer

Alright. Allllright. One last question for now. Sadly, my Rune reserves are nearly depleted. So we're going to make this a tough one!

Most movies show revolvers being able to utilize a silencer. This is, for the most part, hilariously incorrect. However, the Nagant M1895 can.

Why can most revolvers not make use of a silencer, and what makes the M1895 different?

Answer both portions to win 30 Runes! Until I build up my supply again, this will be the last Rune giveaway, and I'll have to jump to other things.

Im gonna let someone else win this one.
Im trying to find someone that will make me a custom kigurumi

The problem with silencing a revolver is the gap between the cylinder and barrel. Unless in the case of the above mentioned exceptions which seal the barrel to the cylinder in the fire sequence, there is enough "BLOW BY" of high pressure gas that leaks out of this gap to make a considerable noise. Since this gas escaped faster than the speed of sound in most cases, it makes a sonic boom by itself. The rest of the gas fills the chambers of the silencer then escapes after or as the bullet leaves the silencer. The silencer will reduce noise for a revolver somewhat for it does absorb a lot of the high pressure gas then releases it under lower pressure, but not as well as, say, if used in a closed system such as a semi auto hand gun or rifle.

Most revolver cartridges don't push the bullet faster than the speed of sound (1100 ft/sec approx.) in the first place so there is not sonic boom as the bullet exits the silencer, however, .22 jet SW, .357mag from a six inch barrel or more, (snub barrels most often don't permit enough time for the powder to burn fully resulting in a much lower muzzle vel), some 44mag and .41 will exceed the speed of sound if using factory ammo. If you reload then you can buff down the charge to something under the speed of sound. But all in all, silencers don't work well attached to a revolver. Also, revolvers have a front sight which doesn't permit threading of the muzzle unless a gunsmith moves the sight back about an inch to permit barrel threading. Some barrels are not round, they have a sight ramp or rib and that must be machined off to permit threading. Bottom line, select a semi auto to silence if you want a silenced hand gun.

Uh oh I think I went a bit too much into context >.>

Obsidian Artist gets it! Good show doing the research on it. 30 Runes to you!

yay thank you, in two weeks I can afford my own.

I read all of that and im like wha... It would be silly for a revolver to have a silencer.

True, but there are a few that can. I've seen a few Nagants that had a suppressor at my old job. A lot of people do it just because they can.

Silly yes, but can be useful depending on the task at hand.

pew pew pew

So the person about the custom kigurumi contacted me and said it would be roughly 300... but they wont be sure yet

You and Nagants. Seriously, Salone >.>

I've owned and worked extensively with them. The Nagant is pretty much the redneck poor man's high powered rifle. The M1895 also still sees considerable range use down here, despite the scarcity of bulk rounds for it. I've had quite a few come across my counter back in the gunsmith days.

and the googly eyes are back

Mwahaha! They never left!

Sometimes I put on the Googly Eyes, but keep them at the very bottom of the layer. That way no one can see them but they're always there.

Oh that is evil

Hi there, may I join in?

Well, I've had to put the trivia charity on hold until I build back up my stock. However, I would keep your eyes peeled towards the future...there's some chances for items coming down the road!

Thats fine. I just want to chat. Wow, what item is the blood on the ground?

That is...Wicked Abomination. In fact I have a spare if you want one. Have to answer a Trivia question though! And with the spirit of the thread...

What famous fictional detective character was the star of many books written by Raymond Chandler?

so i know nearly nothing about guns XD

That's something I do know about Choco.

and salone hm...

Seeing as I love books I should know this one. *thinks for awhile*

Hm...well seeing the characters that were portrayed I would say "Philip Marlowe" but then again I'm not 100% sure on that one.

Get this and get it straight! Crime is a sucker's road and those travel it wind up in the gutter, the prison or the grave. There's no other end! But they never learn...

From the pen of Raymond Chandler, outstanding author of crime fiction comes his most famous character as CBS presents...the Adventures of Philip Marlowe! And now, with Gerald Mohr starred as Philip Marlowe, we bring you tonight's exciting story...the Medium was Rare!



I love Philip Marlowe. Especially the old radio shows with Gerald Mohr. I used to listen to them while doing deliveries. And yes, you got it right by the way. One Wicked Abomination for you!

ah thank you, I just finished my sketches on this site.
