gun questions and stuff

[A-BOMB]

I have a question, does anyone here know how much weight it takes to fire a #209 shotshell or #11 musket primer? And I found this site here that sells all kinds of .50 BMG bullets(AP,API,APIT) <a href="http://www.okiebigbores.com" target="_blank">www.okiebigbores.com</a> . And there was some other things I wanted to say but can't remember so I'll put them in later. Well I remember what I wanted to say now. First Anthony, I wanted to know the foot/pounds or inch/pounds of power I would need to fire a those primers so I wouldn't have to waste time and money trying out different springs to find one that will work in some grenade fuses I'm making.

Do you mean like a static load on the primer, or an impact? The first would be to put a firing pin against the primer and slowly and gradual increase the weight on it until the primer fired, I'm willing to bet it would be rather inconsistant. The second would be better rated as a unit of energy, e.g 0.5J fires the primer reliably.

Without knowing what you want to do with it it's not quite clear what you mean?

I have a gun question, for you hunters out there.
I'm thinking about buying a gun.

I live in Canada and gun control is strict. And I want to legally own the gun, which limits me to hunting rifles, and shotguns. What I want to know is which hunting rifle would best fit the purpose of an "improvised" sniper rifle? Of course I would buy a real expensive scope to put on the rifle. Which hunting rifle shoots the farthest and the straightest?

I would love to own a .50 sniper rifle.

Personally, I'd choose a high quality .303 British. My grandfather had one and now my dad has two of them. They are my rifle of choice. They are extremely accurate, with the right ammo of course. One of the rifles that my dad has had the barrel cut a few inches shorter and has some weird stampings on it. The stamps on the receiver, barrel and trigger guard all have different dates (oldest being 1917, and newest being 1941 I think). It's a nice rifle though, with the original long range open sights (I forget what they're called, but you always see them on old vintage guns), my uncle managed to score a head shot on a young elk at over 350yrds with it!

One I've had experience with is 8mm.06 (30.06 Casing necked out to fit an 8mm Mauser bullet) it's a wildcat in my area but I've read about it in a few smalltime magazines. The flight path is very flat and the rifle I owned didnt get any major dropping until 500 yards or more.

The only downside is if your not set up for reloading your ammo the price of $1.00 a round is outrageous. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="frown.gif" />

00Buckshot, you can get a restricted firearms license and buy AR15's and handguns too, its not that hard.

Thats strange, maybe my eyes are fucked up, but I thought that this was the *IMPROVISED WEAPONS* section. There are plently of gunBBs out there, ask at one of them, theres bound to be a Canadian one out there. Topic CLOSED!
