Man, you're such a bro. It's funny, I'm been a gun-nut and a military otaku for so long that it doesn't even occur to me that so much of this stuff isn't common knowledge. YOU'RE DOING A GOOD THING HERE MAN KEEP IT UP.

I'm just gonna add here,

Anti-tank rifles are usually shown as capable sniper rifles in fiction. For the most part, they suck at this role but where frequently relegated to this action only because they sucked a lot harder as anti-tank rifles.

Dude, we need to hang out sometime.

I live right by West Viriginia and their gun laws are ridiculously lax so it's easy to go to a range and rent out the CRAZIEST weapons.

Also, as an addon, it's legal to hunt deer in North Carolina with anti-tank rifles.

You should do one of these for swords and "shinobi" types.

That's a really good idea.

There's a video where these Germans showed off the differences between a longsword and a katana by whacking it against a broadsword. The katana bends and chips but does shit to the broadsword while the longsword breaks that shit in half.

Because a katana is made for stabbing, son. And European metals tended to be a bit harder than Asian metals, I believe. \o/

A katana is definitely not made for stabbing. Its curved shape and thin blade would make it bend on even leather. It's a slashing weapon, through and through.

Awesome, and informative post! So going to my bookmarks. Especially if I ever want to draw a comic that involves guns...

Gun overheating, the moderate horror of nearby gunshot noises, and the recoil impact on your arm are also frequent victims of "lol wut is research" writing-wise, sob.

Making a note to add this stuff when I get home. THIS GUIDE WILL BE PERFECT.
