The point of this question is to get off topic votes to establish that discussion about gun /politics/ is not within the scope of a firearms stack exchange. – shemnon Jun 30 '10 at 2:33

@Peter - he probably does – Gnoupi May 31 '10 at 18:34

Yes. I was aiming for really bad. Oddly, someone seems to think it's appropriate. – Jaydles May 31 '10 at 23:15

@jaydles: Its a troll voting opposite everyone – Good Person Jun 3 '10 at 18:19

Air guns are not firearms. – Geoffrey Chetwood May 27 '10 at 18:41

rephrased to remove "pellet/bb" for something like "to learn shooting fundamentals" might put it back on-topic? – John Gardner Aug 24 '10 at 22:08

Given localization this is a good question. – TheHurt May 27 '10 at 20:49

only concern I have is keeping it up-to-date with locality law changes – warren Jun 17 '10 at 14:48

I think all paintball should be off-topic. At the same time places like Australia (and many other countries) where the firearm laws are very strict and penalties can be quite harsh, this might be on-topic...hmmm – TheHurt May 27 '10 at 5:09

How do people acquaint 'firearm' with a gun that shoots projectiles with compressed air? Where does the 'fire' part come in with a paint ball gun? – Geoffrey Chetwood May 27 '10 at 22:28

and technically paintball guns are markers. – percent20 Jun 2 '10 at 23:27

	This could be one that is not wanted. – Troggy May 27 '10 at 4:37
	I think being able to identify and appraise firearms is a good topic. There is a lot of minutiae involved in identifying origin of older firearms and those details have a huge impact on value. – TheHurt May 27 '10 at 4:56
	On topic, but potentially to specific to time. Professional and expert enthusiasts in a given niche will have this info and it's a really long tail. – kbyrd Jun 2 '10 at 20:59
	I agree - good idea .. but valuations change semi-frequently – warren Jun 17 '10 at 14:40

This should ABSOLUTELY be off-topic as it would encourage unsafe gun handling practices. – TheHurt May 27 '10 at 4:47

"DON'T DO IT!" would be the right answer :) – Ladybug Killer Jun 2 '10 at 20:39

Scary question to delete. If someone wanted to learn how to do this, I would want them to find the overwhelming screams of "DON'T DO IT!" – Präriewolf Jun 22 '10 at 20:40
