Firearm Comparison
18 years ago
General
Here's the first of what I hope will be a continuing series of side-by-side match-ups between firearms.
If this ends up being popular, I may expand upon it, or make it a regular (as in, every Monday or every first Monday of the month) sort of deal.
The format will be this:
I'll post the names (and Wikipedia links) to a pair of differant, yet simaler weapons and you - the posters - will discuss which would be the most effective or the most ineffective in actual combat.
Keep in mind that not all weapons were made to operate under the same conditions.
Also, I'm not a firearms expert, so I'll more then likely accidently post an unequal matchup from time to time (potatogun vs. ICBM) and in that case, forgive me, but feel free to discuss their respective merits/drawbacks anyway.
And if anyone has any additional suggestions for matchups, feel free to send me a note and I'll add them to the queue.
As far as you, the posters, there really aren't any rules except those guided by common sence; the highest of which is to BE CIVIL.
Everyone has an opinion - some may be more informed, or more fluently put forward, but all are valuable and should be treated with respect.
Even if someone is deliberatly being a "poopyhead" that doesn't mean that everyone else has to be.
Keep in mind that I'm doing this for fun and for perhaps a bit of education. Feel free to be a bit goofy, or serious, or technical. Just relax and run with it.
One last thing: if any of you are anti-gun (which I imagine at least a few of you are), I respect your views and can (in many instances) agree with your points - but please don't post a reply just to say: "I don't like guns." This isn't the place to start a discussion on the morality of weapons - just a comparison of two differant types.
So, finally...the first matchup:
The MP7 ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MP7 ) and the FN P90 ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P90 )
Discuss away!

Me, I like firearms, but I don't know enough about them to discuss them. If they kill quickly and accurately, they're fine for me.
So I'm just going to voice my opinion. Being a fan of Battlefield 2, I'd have to go with the MP7 because the rate of fire is higher, and it feels much more accurate in the game. As for real life, I wouldn't know.
But I'd like to. >.<
The world is full of fun things that I'd love to try - and various firearms aren't among the least of them.
