"All of my guns, not just black powder, discharge at will."

By "at will", can I assume you mean that you consider all guns to be autonomous?

I was referring to dogzter's term, but then was asked to define it.

I certainly don't consider guns autonomous... but some P320 owners might.

I grew up with guns, got interested in reloading, eventually made my way to gunsmithing classes, and am currently considering a dealer's license.

I was also around before the Internet so I remember when people actually had conversations instead of making everything a measuring contest.

I went all the way back to April of last year in this thread - first mention I saw of "at will" was from you.

As to the P320 - I don't own a Sig of any kind, but I do like factual information. Especially where safety issues are at play.

From the following link:

"In the Nightline version, Bagnell says, “Firearms are not subject to federal regulation."
~~
"There’s also an un-named Texas gun shop manager who says a P320 fired “as he cleared the weapon, blowing off one of his fingers. The weapon was out of battery when it fired.”


Can a firearm discharge if it's 'out of battery'?

Only thing I care about is accurate information. I'm certainly not one to be comparing 'measurements' - unless it involves valve grinds or torque or a horse's height and the such. ;)

why were a bunch of guns and bullets lying around for anyone to mess with?
Who put them there?
As for getting camera angles right etc why not use toy guns or laser ones or whatever?

Sounds like sloppiness all round. So I suppose you can´t blame this tragedy on only a single person.

You still haven't told us what black powder guns of yours discharge without you pulling the trigger.
Or which smokeless models of yours either.
You nave made a couple feeble Google's that were immediately shown to be incorrect.

Any cap and ball.

You have just showed your hand in your assumptive accusations.

It's probably worth noting that you have yet to find out that I am indeed correct.

I find it also of note that you presume, and as such will remind you that I said this:
I can shoot your cap and ball without pulling the trigger.

You can too if you want to.

You only need to prove it to yourself.

It's because you never asked.

I don't shoot any caps without using the trigger but I can if I want to.

You have spent some time not understanding what you can show yourself...

I think it's hopeless to spend much else on the thread at this point.

I've said what I need to.

Good luck out there!

:tiphat:

Let's say I'm having a little get-together at my house of my NRA-trained gun friends. We're in the game room, there's a game on the tube and some great tunes coming out of the speakers, and four of us are playing doubles 8-Ball pool. Somebody starts showing off a new gun purchase, and it goes around the room in a kind of show and tell. Nobody 'clears it', including me.

I point it at someone and pull the trigger and BANG! My friend dies as a result.

Who's ultimately at fault? Nobody involved in this very fictional account bothers to clear the firearm, because we all assume that 'the other guys' have already cleared it.

But only one person pulled the trigger.

OMFG

I can't say that a gun can discharge without the trigger being pulled without you hearing that it wasn't a person's fault.

You fellas are super charged and polarized for bear.

Argue over BS if you need to, but it's BS.

I think it's probably gone unnoticed that I said that Baldwin is likely lying.

Frothing and champing the bit but no substantial conversation.

Would you let me point a cap and ball at your foot and bet me I can't shoot your foot without pulling the trigger?
