The last thing you bought?

Hahaha! I thought, at first, that my computer was acting up when I saw that wall of text and took a screenshot of it! Good stuff! :laugh:


The last thing I bought was a Crosman 1377 pump-pistol -like the pneumatic guns in metro- for $65 (50.3 EURO, 2425.31 RUB). I was originally going to buy the 1322 model, which is a .22 caliber pellet version of the 1377 (1377 is .177), but none of the stores I went to had it; so I got the 1377. It's a pretty fun gun to use, but I have had a lot of trouble adjusting the sights and aiming with it. Either me or the gun is off, and I don't really think it's me.

Spoiler

There is a big modification community for this specific type of model and what people have done to them reminds me of how merchants modify their guns in Metro. Have a look (there is a black or a brown version to choose from, I picked the black one):

Nice, and those mods looking awesome.

 

My father actually borrowed one of those from a friend some months ago, I remember standing in the back yard and trying it out. The lever, you don't actually pump it like you do with a shotgun, but you whip it down from the barrel and pump it like the Tihar in Metro, right?

By the way, do you have any problem with your eyesight? Because I have a friend who's better than me at almost everything, except for target practicing - and he's got pretty bad eyesight.

Also, it's amazing how a small gun like that in the first picture can end up looking like the large one in the second picture.

 

I'm going to try making my own shoulder stock out of some wood.

Yes, that's correct.
The hand which I use to pump up the gun (left) was really sore the day after I had first used it.

I don't have perfect 20/20 vision -it's only very, very, slightly off when seeing things at a far distance- but it's good enough to where I don't really need glasses. I've been to an eye doctor once and he gave me an eye exam. At the end of it, he said that my eye sight was good enough and it wouldn't be too much of a difference in clarity if I got glasses. Anyway, my prescription results were -.75. I don't know how that converts to the 20/20 standard -maybe 20/75?- but I decided not to get any.

I've figure out how to adjust the sights correctly now, though. The rear sight moves from left to right, up and down, and I had to move the sight all the way down while, at the same time, fixing it as far left as possible -with a slight angle. So instead of having it rest at exactly 90 degrees, I moved to move it to about 92 degrees, to the left. Now its spot on.

Right? Turning an air-pistol into an air-rifle; and the good thing about it is that it does not require any CO2 canisters to operate.

 

You're hitting the target now? How far are you shooting from? Because you know air-pistols usually have a very early bullet-drop. Or should I say pellet-drop?

Makes it cheap to use. That's why I've wanted to get an Air-Sniper that you pump with a bolt-action handle to put in a new pellet. Bolt-action just feels so damn awesome everytime before you take a new shot
But with pistols, I prefer C02 because you can go BAMBAMBMABAMBAMBAMBAM instead of having to pump and reload every damn time you take a shot There's also the Blowback which gives a feeling of recoil and power, especially on an air-gun with a slider in steel, or preferrably heavy iron Sucks when there's little C02 left though, so the bullet just goes *plop* out of the barrel and lands 5 meters in front of you. And they're not too cheap either.

 

Yeah, I can hit targets now without having to guess where the pellet is going. I have tin cans hanging from string, on a tree, at 33ft 7in (a little over 10 meters). I've read on several air gun forums where people say the gun is accurate, at ten pumps –which is the recommended max you do on the pistol- for 30 meters before you may start to notice some pellet-drop or the pellet being tumbled off to the side(s) due to wind. Others say 20m…. For now, though, that's almost as far back that I can go before I would have to hop over to the neighbors yard to be further away from the tin cans. At what Distance do you usually do target practicing?
There is this modification where you change out the standard piston and valve –which is what holds air in every time the gun is pumped- with a flattop piston (because it’s flat rather than looking like a cone, at the end). Apparently, with the flattop piston mod, the power of the pistol becomes notably stronger. Instead of having to pump the pistol up ten times to get full strength –like with the domed piston- they say that you would only have to pump it up six times to get the same results. Though, I’m not sure if it would be recommended to pump it up more than six times if it yields the same power as ten pumps, which is what they say is the max you should do for that gun. Just to say, "it would safe to pump the pistol ten times," with the mod installed and without damaging the pistol, I imagine the pellets would be able to travel twice the distance than before and with no pellet-drop for about the same distance.
Here is a picture of the two kinds of pistons:

Spoiler

That would be great! I've never seen a pellet pump rifle before (then again, I never really looked ). I only know of the bb version. What kind of air rifles/pistols/bb guns do you have? I remember you posted a of picture where you showcased off a lot of them, but I don't recall what they were.
I had a friend who had a CO2 powered, semi-automatic, pellet rife -which held ten shots- and basically after he had gone through the ten pellets and would reload, the new round of pellets would plop out as well. :laugh:
------------
One more thing: I know you've tried one like the one I got, but just in case you might have forgotten a little what the power of the pistol can be at 10 pumps (as well for the sake of others who read this), it can clear through both sides of a tin can at 10m. Though, there are a few times where the pellet doesn't penetrate all the way through, but that's because it entered at a weird angle.

 

I bought recently a Dark Souls 2 Black Armour Edition, luckily I was able to find it, also bought an DS2 artbook which was in the CE, I ordered from eBay.
This is a little cheat but finally arriwed my Survarium Veteran Founder Pack, I waited so long for that.
One more thing, I ordered a Dark Souls Design Works from The Book Depository, which is an artbook as well. I really love artbooks, too bad that the Metro serises do not have any.

 

That's pretty cool. I like the badge. Are you able to pin it to your cloths or use it as a key chain?

 

I don't think so, it is too big for both of that, and to be honest I don't vant to risk it to damage.

 

Just bought Jedi Morning Robes

WIIIIIILSOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON!!!!

Anyway, I ordered few things from ebay which are didn't arrived yet.


I ordered a simple black mug.





This is not that big as Artyom's, but this is the closest one to that.

Also arrived this week this:


Without dustcover:

 

A very nice collection indeed! I hope to see many pictures of these when these arrive so I can be much jelly.

 

Yes, indeed. Very neat stuff you've got coming in, Mr.Wanderer. Bullet lighter is a must.

Yes, yes, and we can't forget about Wilson. I remember when Cast Away came out in theaters and you would go to a story (grocery, game, cloths, whatever), they would have a huge pyramid of Wilsons' at every entrance. :laugh:

 

I will post pictures when theese arrives, the mug and the medallions should arrive on monday, or thuesday, the lighter comes from China, so it takes a little bit longer. You can buy it for cheap, it was 3$ and free shipping.

Awesome collection indeed, much jellyfish.

Hahaha, I laughed :lol:

And thanks for the link, Wanderer.

I've bought a few pairs of military boot (two used, one brand new). I'm not the kind of person who buys shoes -of any sort- and has them stored away for future use, but they were really, really, cheap and military; so I said, "why not?"
I got two black pairs that look like this:

And the khaki colored kind that was used in Afghanistan (I was never into the color, but they're frickin comfortable):

Thoose are nice boots sir .

Some update about my orders, it seems to be that the medallion is just shipped out in Friday, which means I won't be able to show to you. MAYBE I will get the mug tomorrow, but do not quote me on that one. I want to drink my warm tea from that cup though.

Update:
I have no idea where is my cup, seriously, it didn't arrived yet. I fear that the post will be sending back, because I was work when the postman arrives. But did arrived today something else which I would like to share with you guys.
