Weapons

[Romsca]

I learned a trick when i took archery. Turn your arm so the bow is parallel to the ground and then straighten it by twisting your wrist

Yep, that's what I was trying to explain

I hope I can make a wooden dirk tomorrow my dad said he would help now he's saying we don't have anything to cut the curves even though I suggested using a jigsaw like they did on YouTube but he didn't listen

[Redwaller]

Cool! I think this summer I'll make a bunch of weapons.

Soon, I'll be making some wooden guns for my siblings.(maybe one for me too  )

[Mattio]

ha will they work?

[W0NWILL]

No, wooden guns would explode when you fire a shot. Basically, a gun ignites gunpowder, and the gunpowder explodes. The kinetic energy from the explosion shoots out the barrel, bringing the amuition with it. Gunpowder explodes fairly weak, for an explosion, so an iron or steel barrel is able to direct the explosion. And there's so many parts to a gun, an untrained person wouldn't be able to make one.

[Mattio]

oh I was joking anyways

[Redwaller]

Lol! It's just wooden guns!  Without anything to fire or stuff.

[W0NWILL]

I figured, but I wanted to go geek.

[Mattio]

throw a match down the barrel

As I understand it, it's not kinetic energy, but expanding gases that take the path of least resistance, that is, the bullet or musket ball or shot or whatever you're firing. my weapon collection consists of a small one-edged knife, a long "arkansas toothpick" throwing knife (made by me), a much smaller double pointed throwing knife (also made by me), a non-sharp foot and a half long bladed shortsword, a longer left-hand parrying dagger with a basket hilt lined with red crushed velvet, a buckler-like shield, a compound bow with 4 arrows, a black leather chestplate (made by me), a short zulu-esque leaf bladed double headed spear (made by me), a wooden scimitar, a leather sling (made by me), a metal hook on a metal shaft (made by me), an all-metal spear (made by me), a whole bunch of assorted foam weapons (mostly made by me), a long wooden katana (made by me and my mom), a small hatchet (made by me), and finally a small carbon fiber handled knife with a sharp edge and a serrated edge (made by me). the funny thing is: I'm a very nonviolent person!!

[Mattio]

are all the ones that you didn't specify what material they are metal?



And I'm feeling awesome with my sword and my sheath my dad and I made today.

[Romsca]

How did you make weapons with metal?

[Mattio]

 I didn't its wood my brother made one too I just finished making his sheath outta duct tape. Now I'm wearing his too. They're not swords the ones we made are dirks

[Romsca]

Oh ok.....I was kinda asking Rusvul there...
