sorry...

A lot of twaddle coming out of people here... Yes you can fire a 44 magnum, or my 357 magnum, only they need to be lbp ( long barrel pistol) format

Here is me with just such a tool


And no, it isn't loaded in this picture before anyone kicks off!

Yes handguns are banned but as above I think they count as a rifle if the barrel is sufficiently long... and so can go on normal FAC

Or you can still shoot blackpowder revolvers. That will definitely show you the big muzzle flash/loadsa smoke/20 minute reload thing

Good the bad the ugly was 1800s or something so probably blackpowder cartridges rather than modern nitro centrefire stuff.


Rimfire blackpowder catridges of that sort would be under same law as centrefire revolvers... rather than as black powder since despite not being nitro they use self-contained ammunition.

Why is that YC seems to know everything about anything?

I swear he gets payed to read books and Wikipedia


Sent from that magical device in my pocket.

Or I've been shooting all sorts of stuff since I was 12 or so

I don't know about the shooting laws in this country, but, as said, get over to Thailand and you've a choice of all sorts of guns. There's even places in Cambodia where, if it's your thing, you can fire RPG's at cows. I was contented with a few rounds of a glock though, at a target of the non animal/human variety!

Went to NC and shot everything from full autos to .50 cal desert eagles. Not cheap but loads of fun.

Homemade potato cannon?

You can shoot shotguns over here without much trouble.

Hehe always fun. Like ones that run on various welding gasses and are made of steam pipe.

What I'd really like to make is a burst disc cannon. Charge an accumulator up to 5 bar or more of stoichiometric gas mixture, ignition blows the disc out and fires the projectile FAR faster than pure combustion

However, in a somewhat related fact to the "what you used to do as kids" thread... I do not play with this stuff any more lol.
