3 assault rifles, 5 hand guns, 2 shot guns and 1000+ rounds. I'll try to put pics up when I can.
The recoil is manageable in a rifle, but a lot harder to control in a lighter less grippy handgun, I guess?Lai wrote:

I mean most of the powder will burn after the bullet has left the barrel so the extra pressure is simply wasted. The weapon won't blow up right? Just massive flamethrower muzzle flash.
too much pressure can burst the barrel or blow the action apart
45/70=one of the greatest big bore cartridges ever.FloppY_ wrote:
waiting for further input on the calibers...
.44mag=cute pop gun compared to the 45/70.
A '74 Sharps in 45/70 is on my short list.

Rifle loads are often higher pressure than a pistol can take, if it doesn't blow up performance is likely to be poor.Lai wrote:

Fuck Israel
sometimes you need your pistol to also be a flame thrower.Dilbert_X wrote:

So what's the verdict?
Should I get a Lever Action Marlin in .44mag or 45/70?
price difference is ~$80

Are you new to shooting? the 45/70 is not a beginner cartridge, but neigher is the .44 magnum in a rifle or pistol. Have you considered a lever gun in 30/30?
30/30 are not available here for lever-actionsReciprocity wrote:

30/30 not available? WAT?!
next to .22 that's the most common level cartridge there is!

That may be, but the shop in which I found lever actions they only sell the 44 and 45/70krazed wrote:

maybe they can order a 30/30?
our 30/30 kicks pretty hard though tbh... it's super light though so that's probably why
i need to get a recoil pad for it

I kinda want a higher caliber, I've tried fireing .22 rifles and pistols, and for rifles I think it feels so tame I'd like some kick tbh....krazed wrote:

50. cal only option
yeah i know what you mean, that's why i love my SKS so much... cheap cheap ammo by the crate and you can shoot it all day with no sore shoulders
.50s don't kick that bad

it depends on the shooter, the gun, the muzzle break, AND the two i've shot pushed instead of a sharp kick
Not to mention the fact that the guys in the vid finny posted were sitting in plastic fucking garden chairs rather than lying on the ground like the rifle is meant to...krazed wrote:

Make sure you get a rifle you can find ammo for.FloppY_ wrote:

Ammunition availability and cost are huge factors in all my firearm decisions.
