Joerg Sprave already made it, it's a commercial product now.

I like how there's literally no reason for such a thing to exist, yet it does. That's my kind of company.

personally i keep a brace of 15 flintlock pistols loaded with silver balls on each arm just in case a witch attacks me

If i go and buy one and provide a receipt pic will you close all your accounts and never come back?

So you want to buy it out of spite to prove a point? Real responsible gun owner mentality.

If you knew how to read, you would see that i planned on buying one anyway. Getting rid of a hater at the same time is what is called a "bonus".

Limit to 7 round Clips with 2-fins only for your Crossbow Bolts and more limited tip selection.

But that's the limitation for having a Built in Magazine for Crossbow Bolts.

The repeating crossbow has been around since at least 4th century BC.

I know that guy was joking about the flintlock pistol but that would be cool as hell to own. Maybe a musket or blunderbuss, too.

I always wanted a kentucky rifle. I would bet my soul that someone makes modern repos and lead casting kits and all that jazz. Just the novelty of such a thing would be totally worth it.

i'm just that guy, not even worth quoting

But they aren't loaded via single packet Clips!

Those are manual loaders where you have to load each bolt 1-by-1

Loading a single Clip is MUCH FASTER =D

And did you honestly plan to buy one before last week or is this a sudden urge?

Bro there are plenty of gun control threads and threads about the shooting to go virching in. We get it. You don't like thing.

You think you would enjoy that, but cleaning Black Powder out of the bore of your Flint Lock isn't fun.

The oldest tech I would go with are "Single-Shot Remington Rolling Blocks".

At least they use Smoke-less Powder and it's still enough fun.

Those things are so goofy lol. I heard it takes like a minute just load one properly.

Since we're talkin' weapons and whatnot... I've always wanted a Bronze Age Greek Apa

Look at that bad boi.

It's a common misconception that bronze was replaced with iron due to hardness. In fact, they're both very similar. In fact, weapons-grade bronze is about 3x harder than weapons-grade iron.

Bronze was replaced with iron because iron is literally everywhere, whereas bronze requires two fairly rare metals (copper and tin). In 1200 BC the Bronze Age Collapse (a bunch of cultures all collapsed around the same time) resulted in a complete disruption of international trade, and nobody could get the metals.

Yes ive been wanting one for months now. I post in topics about guns and give people advice on them on a regular basis. As i previously mentioned, ive been holding off on actually getting one due to ammo shortages and price hikes.

Things have calmed down on some of those fronts so now is the time.

I was curious so I went look at the archive site and he posted about buying a new gun about a month before the shooting. So I mean it's not something he doesn't have a history of posting about.

Those things look like they would wreck someone to this day. I know i wouldnt want to get clipped by one
