Legal consequences of AD's / ND's?

Ds J — Sun, 09 Aug 2026 08:22:58 +0000

What are the legal consequences for accidental or negligent discharges, or what could they be?

I mean specifically for cases where there is no injury, harm, death etc, but rather just a dead toilet, holed dishwasher or broken tiles.

Hostage situation: shoot or not?

Ds J — Fri, 17 Jul 2026 17:04:37 +0000

In the movies one often sees the bad guy with his gun to a hostage's head. Depending on the intended outcome, the hero either puts down and wins later, or shoots the criminal and wins immediately.

I know that movies/TV etc has very little to do with real life, therefore I have questions for the experienced guys:

1. How little/often does this occur in real life? Ie: is it even realistic to prep the brain for such a situation?

2. Is there anything one should keep in mind in preparation for such a situation?

(For us here in SA, we would probably be facing a seasoned and hardened criminal, or a drug addict, or a combination of both.)

Pitted barrel bullets question

Treeman — Mon, 06 Jul 2026 19:32:40 +0000

I have a badly pitted 7x57 rifle that shoots 2 touching holes and then one flyer. Repeat repeat.
I am wanting to try a different style bullet to perhaps beat the pitting.
For a pitted barrel, should one try a harder mono bullet or a softer deforming cup and core bullet ?
Should one aim for shortest bullet or longest style bullet of same weight.
I am thinking hardest bullet in shortest style with longest bearing surface to beat the rough bore, though some may suggest shortest bearing surface I believe the longer bullet support would be better.

Was looking at Classic Arms Auctions and notice a few P14's at very reasonable prices
I know that Oom Driepoot has a 7x64 based off one
Anyone else have / use / modified a P14 ( .303 ) or M17 (30-06)
