ORIGINAL: conquer4love I am very sorry MrDiscipline44 but I have to disagree with you. quote:
Oh bullshit!! You are exagerating and you know it. Either that or you don't deal with guns on a real and/or regular basis. I have dealt with guns ranging from a 9mm Berreta upto a 30mm chaingun. They can be made "safe" enough to let a novice handle. If you take a semiautomatic .22 or .25, remove the firing pin and jack rounds through the chamber the gun WILL eventually discharge. Though the gun may be disabled a live round never is. Now .22 and .25 round are well known for going off due to the fact that the entire rear of the casing is the primer so even a small jolt can cause the munition to discharge. The reason I took the time to bring this up is because the orig. poster did not say what type of weapon they intended to use. Now I will have to agree with you on this point: A dummy round can be safe assuming the person does not confuse "dummy round" and "blank". Blanks can still cause injury and death. When dealing with a situation like this I think people should look at the fact that the weapon is of little danger, The round however can be deadly. Guns are well designed to kill people and nothing is as lethal as the mix of ignorance, arrogance, and firearms. .25 auto, also known as 6.35 Browning, he being the designer of the cartridge, is a center fire round, not rimfire. I doubt that there is a group of people on this site who's combined knowledge of firearms approach my own. That isn't a boast, it is a simple fact. I have never heard of a .22 going off simply by being jacked through a gun but the theory is right on and the possibility is way too high for me to fuck around with. I would NEVER EVER consider doing gun play with a real firearm. Remember, people only accidentally kill people with "safe" and or "unloaded" firearms. To me, guns are useful tools to kill people with and I just can't imagine incorporating them into play. If someone asked my advice, I would say, play with the real one as part of the opening scene, let them feel the heft or something, bang it on a table to they can hear the weight and hardness and then play with a lightweight plastic gun but even then it would give me the hebe jeebies. I would also leave any playspace where someone was doing it. If I wouldn't trust my control over fate, I sure as hell wouldn't trust anyone elses!
