Cool photos - the colors look a bit dull though. Was this shot on a cloudy day maybe? A little bit of PP might help give them some "pop"


Also .. what's that gun in #6? I see what looks like a shotgun shell ejected from it?

It rained all day. I did saturate the colors a bit. Maybe a bit more?

The reason that it looks like a shotgun shell is being ejected from that gun is because it's a 12 gauge magazine fed shotgun called a "Saiga-12"

Terrific series - looks like fun. #2 is really neat - start them early, teach them right.

The perspective and timing of #3 rock.
Other than that, the only I think that lacks pop is number one. The rest are fine IMO.


Canon T1i, 28-135/IS/USM, 50 1.8.
If someone wants to buy me the ef-s 10-22mm, PM ME... Just sayin'.

Nice can party! I hope our state's AG will issue an interpretation of our laws so we can have silencers too. They're so common in other countries it's odd that they're so heavily regulated here. Frankly, I just think of them as mufflers and their use as being a good neighbor.

What's that bolt action chambered in?

It looks like a Ruger bolt action, and it's wearing Ruger scope rings. Except for the straight bolt handle it looks like a Ruger rifle. (Ruger bolt handles curve rearward in kind of an S shape.)

The stock isn't original either. It's probably something built special to accomodate the silencer.

Out of all those guns ,the one I'd like to shoot most is the rifle the kid is holding in shot number 2.

It's a Ruger all right. It's a 77/44. (.44 magnum) Shooting 300 grain projectiles at just short of supersonic speeds. Pellet gun quite but hits like a ton of bricks. By far my favorite gun there. I must have one...

Real guns scare me so much. :( Are they really as loud as they are in the movies? I can't imagine using such a thing. The gun in number two is only a toy right?

Yes, the rifle pictured in #2 is an air gun. It might puncture a soda can if close enough.

Not to get off topic, but I have to ask why firearms would scare you?

wow, is that MP5 full auto? Do you need special licences for those in Oregon?

Nice collection, I collect airsoft guns for military simulation, so I can appreciate your arsenal.

They just seem so violent in the movies and video games. People flying through the air after getting shot, and blood squirting everywhere and all. Not to mention they just seem so loud and frightening. Projectiles moving at such high velocity = scary. :(

Yes, it's a MP5SD select fire. It's owned by Oregon Research Labs, Inc. here in Oregon. It's real nice.
