@Pilotmario yes I am That the M1911 was manufactured around the 1900's and I'm from the south we refer to the Browning hi power as the M 1911 high-power because the development was piggybacked off the M 1911 large.

Also, the Browning Hi-Power and M1911 are related, but not identical designs. @Pilotmario

The M1911 was made in 1911.

Gulf war happened in 1991. @Flash0of0green

@Pilotmario The M-1911 H( M-1911 high-power) wasn't made until the golf war...

@Flash0of0green So WWI-WWII stuff.

@Pilotmario I my self like more vintage guns from around and before The golf war and Vietnam. Guns like the M1911 H, PPSh and Mosin-Nagant

I do. @Flash0of0green

@Pilotmario just to change rails I could be wrong but I think you really like shotguns. any opinion on the Maasberg 5000?

@Flash0of0green That is true. The AR-10 and AR-15 are among the most versatile firearms ever made.

I do believe that it is fine that a weapon is specialized, as long as you recognize it's specialist nature and work around it.

@Pilotmario that's the thing there is multiple ways to make a gun versatile..... attachments, ammo variation, alternative parts... when you can turn an M16 into a the equivalent of a sniper rifle with close range capability you know your more or less set.

@Flash0of0green I mean, you wouldn't call a sniper rifle a bad weapon, even though it is easily one of the worst options in close-combat warfare.

@Pilotmario I was hoping you would say something along the lines of versatility over everything else... I mean that's how I think guns are most effective. When you can handle any situation affectively with just one firearm you definitely know it works.

@Flash0of0green What determines its effectiveness is whether it's abilities and characteristics are best suited to the whole situation at hand.

Let's take the scenario of a police issue sidearm. It's a sidearm, which precludes any long arm of any description due to their bulk. It's also going to be mostly worn, occasionally brandished, and rarely fired. So a pistol would be ideal, since although a pistol lacks a lot of firepower, range, accuracy, and capacity compared to something like a shotgun or rifle, it is significantly lighter and handier. Which is important if it's mostly going to be carried.

@Pilotmario good to know... :-/ Please tell me. in your opinion what makes a weapon most effective?

@Flash0of0green The name "lightning" refers to the speed which the weapon's action could be operated.

@Pilotmario good to know.... :-/

The Carlton Lightning Rifle is a top-eject weapon, and their shotgun, the Lightning, is a bottom-feed, bottom-eject, like an Ithaca 37. @Flash0of0green

@Pilotmario you should make it ambidextrous version of this wher the Shell ejectors either on the top or is on the bottom with the mag tube loader.

The scopes are for use with slug rounds. Basically, a giant bullet.

Some slugs need a rifled barrel, where others can use a standard smoothbore barrel. Accurate to 150m. @PhantomBladeCorp

I've seen shotguns with scopes attatched to them. I honestly never understood why you'd put a scope on a gun that's supposed to work well only at short ranges. Your shots will be slightly more accurate but your FOV decreases.
