Ingram M10 (MAC-10)

Magazines hold 30 rounds of .45 ACP
1,145 RPM (Rounds Per Minute)
little over a second to empty a magazine...

     Ingram's Military Armament Corporation 10 (M-10 or MAC-10) was produced in the beginning of the 70's with versions made by other manufacturers still today. Originally firing a heavy .45 ACP round and then later the 9x19mm Parabellum round.

("Si vis pacem, para bellum" is Latin for "If you want peace, prepare for war") 

I don't have much to say about this firearm, Canada has banned it by name along with all variants. If there was a solely semi-automatic version of this historic firearm it'd be immediately classified as prohib anyway because it looks scary to the people who write the laws... all the while, a semi-automatic Czechoslovakian version of the Skorpion vz. 61 called the CZ 91 is A.O.K to buy. Here's the kicker about that gun; it's been classified as a 'rifle' so magazines can only carry five rounds... of .32 ACP... It was classified as a rifle because the "Skorpion pistol" is prohibited, calling it a rifle changes it's classification.

Here's a link to a list of prohibited firearms

MS Paint... Fun fun fun...

     Long ago when I was a wee caterpillar, I drew comics. This festered into a thing called Stupidity Ltd. (Limited). The original comics were hand drawn, and soon I switched to a more digital medium. I didn't have Photoshop back then so I had to use what was available. The coolest trick I learned while using the program was making gradients, as seen above.

Here's a link to Stupidity Ltd. (it's on Facebook)  

looking back at it all... ugh...

SIG-Sauer P230

     The Swiss made SIG-Sauer P230 is a compact pistol usually utilizing the .380 ACP round. Capable in firing SA (Single Action) and DA (Double Action). Production stopped in 1996, replaced with the P232. The P230 has no real safety, the but does has a "de-cocking" lever, and has the ability to be left on a half-cock (a feature in most DA pistols).

     That's about it actually...

     What, Were you expecting some long write-up about this firearm? Then uhh, it was originally chambered for .32 ACP but then that was dropped, probably because the police using it wanted to do more than tickle the bad guys... Um, it was used twice in one of my favorite T.V. shows called "The Unit".

Ruger 10/22

     What can I say about the loveable Ruger 10/22 (Ten Twenty-Two)? A versatile, semi-automatic rifle that popped up in the mid 60's. Many, many, many shooters have either used one, has one, or grown up with one. This rifle is great for shooters of all ages and skill. New shooters will experience a quality semi-automatic rifle with negligible recoil, and older shooters can fire and cheap, multiple rounds downrange.

     One hindrance the rifle has is the bolt release; The factory bolt release's internals has a wee bit of a lip or hook, because of this, releasing the bolt can get quite hard to do. One would have to pull the bolt back and forth and finagle the small blade at the base of the bolt release. Most shooters can and will file that hook away. This Auto Bolt Release results in a nicer and quicker reload. However, smacking the receiver or dropping the rifle can cause the bolt to close if it was originally open. If a loaded magazine was already inserted that would mean that the rifle is now "hot" and you've just done a dangerous thing...

     I made this awhile ago but just fixed up the texturing and overall model recently, the original textures were not good (at all). Immediately when I turned 18 (July 26) I got my firearms license. The following Christmas I received a Ruger 10/22 with some sort of forest floor coloured synthetic stock.

     Another one of my favourite shooters: 22plinkster, does a variety of trick shots mainly using .22LR rifles and pistols. He's split cards, cut floss, shot though a hole in a CD (while it was spinning), shot an eraser off a pencil, and skipped bullets off of water and hit a balloon.
