Fairly simple question. So far I’m the only one posting, others are welcome if not encouraged to do so too. But I’ve been trying to cover a variety of materials to see what people like.

Is there any time period, type of design, kind of post, etc that you want to see here?

Leave a comment here and I’ll try and find at least one post’s worth of whats interesting to you.

Want stuff from a given conflict? Want to learn more about the guns of a specific country? Do you want to see more unique mechanisms? Love big bore cartridges? Let me know!

    I like the ones with unique mechanisms, e. g. the one with the cat which shoots around corners.

    Are there mentionable weapons from famous people? Had Elvis a golden pistol?

    Thank you for keeping this community alive.

      There’s no shortage of failed designs with unique mechanisms.

      And I can definitely find you some some mentionable things from famous people.

      If you’re interested in some of the more personal stories I’ve got one about the 1st US President Washington, and how he almost got killed that’ll post soon.

      I’d also recommend you watch this video on an incredible story of a WW1 soldier who had an odds defining journey with his rifle that he was punished for carving. I posted about it a few days ago and it didn’t get much traction here, but I think the story is incredibe.
