But that takes all the fun out of it! (RIP Yogi Berra)
Quit trying to take the fun out of it.
Two words: safety glasses.
Aaaaand plink
“AAAH! MY EYE!”
Hey that was fun!
Sure, if you care about “safety”…
See pagan gets it.
But you can’t shoot people in the face in LARPing and that takes all the fun out of it.
You can’t hold or LARP with a mod.
Gameface 600. 425 FPS. Double action, 8 shot co2.
Google says Crosman, and 425 fps with .12g BBs.
I have a single shot 12 gauge shotgun.
A .22 pump action Winchester rifle.
2 compound bows.
A ridiculous amount of knives my favorite being the Bowie knife.
2 tomahawks a classic native American one and a modern fusion one.
A civil war military sabre and a Celtic long sword.
Here’s to hoping it’s semi and has a full clip or magazine….
Well, I hope that’s not in one of the states where it’s illegal to carry a handgun concealed while hunting, or at all during “primitive weapons” seasons; either way it seems a bit like keeping a big rock in your pocket to throw at attackers who aren’t imtimidated by the, uh, rifle or shotgun you’re carrying. Personally, if someone presents an immediate threat to me while I’m carrying a long gun… I am going to shoot them with the long gun.
A concealable backup can be important in hunting sometimes if you are approached by poachers. I have heard a story of a guy I know approached by aggressive poachers. He conceal carries now when he hunts.
Concealability is an important factor in roughly 0.000% of legal hunting applications. 6_o
If pure practicality is your primary goal, then sure, a rifle, shotgun, or carbine is usually going to be superior– as the saying goes, you take a handgun if you’re not expecting trouble and a long gun if you are– but anyone who’s ever had to carry a firearm in a professional capacity will tell you that only a fool discounts size and weight; inside of 75 yards, the performance differences become much narrower, and a 3-4lb scoped handgun in a hiking holster is a lot more manageable than an 8-9lb rifle on a sling. Hunters use handguns for a variety of reasons, but the most common are that it’s a lot easier to pack a handgun over distance than a full sized rifle, and it’s just more challenging/rewarding to make a shot with a handgun than a long gun, which is the same basic reason many people hunt with bows or muzzleloaders.
Personally, I carry a .22 semiauto with iron sights if I’m just out in the woods doing whatever and take a scoped rifle if I’m specifically out for squirrels or rabbits, but mileage obviously varies; some people are more about the challenge than the full freezer. I hunt deer with a bow in bow season and a muzzleloader in muzzleloader season, but the moment the regular season opens up it’s a 20ga with slugs or buckshot from the tree stand or a .308 from the box blind, because I’m more concerned with efficiency than “sport”.
As a philosophy of use, if you are going to take that kind of shot, you are better off with a rifle. The whole point of a handgun is to be small, portable, and/or concealable and that scope makes that thing hard to holster and harder to conceal.
Google it; hunting handguns are usually scoped, and for some of the heavy caliber high-end models a 300+ yard shot ain’t nothin’. Deer hunting at 75 yards with a .357 magnum is easily doable with an accurate revolver and good ammunition, but at that range a whitetail’s vitals are smaller than the front sight post; a scope is more or less a necessity.
