/c/TenForward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!

Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.

~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.

~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.

~ 3. Use spoiler tags. Use spoiler tags in comments, and NSFW checkbox for posts.
This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.

~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.

~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.

~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.

~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'

~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.

Fun will now commence.

This is not my experience. The 12ga shotguns control the recoil a lot more and although they weigh a bit more, are easier for smaller people to shoot.

Ofcourse, if you are going to buy something you should try to rent it at a range and try it first. Only buy something you are comfortable with.

I decided on a Beretta a300

A 20g is smaller than a 12g, I don't understand how a 12 is going to control kick more?

Edit: Google says heavier gun=less kick with a similar payload. I typically only use 2.5in shells in my 20 and yea it still kicks like a horse. I don't own a 12g but figured bigger round=more kick, but there's more to it than that, including how choked the barrel is and mine is full choke

Yes it is. So are the guns themselves. What my family experienced is that the larger 12 ga reduced the recoil a lot more than the smaller 20 ga gun. I suggest you shoot 2 mossbergs (one that's 20ga and then one that's 12ga) and see for yourself.

Also of note is that there are greater ammo options for a 12ga.

I'm not an expert however, I literally just got into guns a year ago after I asked myself what would Picard do, and I realized he would be armed.

[–] JoeBigelow@lemmy.ca 2 points 3 days ago

Picard would be armed.

All of my firearms have been inherited/gifts, I'm not hot on purchasing more. The shotgun is a 20g single, great for birds and some asshole coming up the walk. After that it's a 10/22 with 5 10rnd mags and a 25. I know I know .22lr isn't a lot. I'm banking on them being dissuaded from continuing by the knowledge that I can put a lot of metal down range for a few minutes if need be.
