What cartridge's name inspires the most confidence, fear, and general badassery in those that hear it?
The Grendel.
But Grendel was the bad guy and he got his ass kicked by Beowulf along with his mom
the guy who jobbed and ran home to his mommy?

It's called the "right to bear arms" not the "right to bear arm."
Fricking Beowulf over there bearing his three arms.
CARLOS!
6.5 Grendel vs .50 Beowulf who wins?
We've known the answer to that for 1000 years
What would the GM (Grendel's Mom) cartridge be?
>50 Action Express
it has a different, much cooler name
The famed African Eliminator
475 wildey magnum, sounds just as crazy as the round is. 45 win mag sounds pretty cool too
458 Bushmaster
300 Winchester Magnum
Saw an actual bushmaster yesterday, disappointed it was just a venomous snake and not an AR placed in a zoo. Still, pretty snake, probably the 5th best reptile they had
nobody asked, nobody cares, this post has nothing to do with anything, take meds schizo
No, I love reptiles and I will take every opportunity to talk about them
Which is better, snussy or alligussy?
Of the two, alligussy but ghariussy blows it out of the water
I love tegus, they're basically dogs that don't bark at everything
Snussy has two clits in the form of a hemiclitoris. It also has two spooge reservoirs and the snake can use the spooge from one to get pregnant without further male involvement at any time of its choosing. (The other reservoir is for immediate use) Some snakes can even choose which father they'll give their offspring from a collection of spooge they keep inside themselves.
Alligussy only has 1 clit as far as I know but male alligators are permanently erect.
Also Parabellum is the best cartridge name.
A furry/scalie artist that did his research, I see.
NTA but fug I forgot about that. There's a GIF somewhere of a person pressing on the belly of a (dead) alligator and the thing just fricking shoots out lol. Yes I'm aware this is a croc:

Based reptile enjoyer.
>anon talks about the name origin of Bushmaster
>somehow he has schizophrenia now
>schizo pretends to be another anon coming to his own defense
yeah definitely
Liking reptiles is a sign of schizophrenia, dontcha know? People who proclaim everyone else a schizo are perfectly sane and reasonable, just ask the fellow that keeps sniffing out warriortard
I care, you dumb frick b***h
Wtf are you talking about dude, bushmasters are fricking massive snakes. The most impressive viperid imo, other than maybe a fatass Crotalus Basillicus
Oh don't get me wrong the bushmaster was cool, easily the coolest snake they had on display but it pales in comparison to the multiple Gharials, Komodo Dragon, Fiji Crested Iguana, and Saltwater Crodile they had. I just generally prefer lizards to snakes but of what they had, and mind you they had some fine specimens, the Bushmaster was easily top of the list followed by their Burmese Python
all me btw
What are your top 5 reptiles from your visit?
1) Komodo Dragon, always found them adorable
2) Gharial, multiple specimens in an enclosure plus they've always looked cool to me
3) Fiji Crested Iguana, quite possibly the prettiest reptile I've ever seen. Been fascinated with them since I was little
4) Saltwater Crodile, in awe of the size of that lad
5) Bushmaster, just a nice looking viper. The platonic ideal of a snake if you ask me
what were the other 4? pics?

For me, it's .454 Casull. Mostly because it evokes this meme.
I don't know what the best is, but I certainly know the worst one is a tie between .30 Super Carry (should've been called .32 Super) and .350 ''Legend''. Marketing wank bullshit.
Casull isn't just a fun sounding word, it's a man who dedicated his life to making badass revolvers that were, at the time, the biggest and baddest hand cannons you could buy. Even though .44 Magnum was practically invented by Keith, it wasn't called .44 Keith. Well, the .454 is called Casull, and rightfully so.
.300 BLACKED sounds significantly worse than the OG .300 Whisper.

300 Remington Ultra Magnum
the only one of it's kind. none of the other magnums are ultra.
There are many others. In addition to the .300, Remington also made 7mm, .338, and .375 Ultra Magnums. The 7mm and .300 also exist as "Remington Short Action Ultra Magnum".
And just to add confusion, there are also the various Super Magnum cartridges, both pistol and rifle.
My local store had a Model 700 in 300 RUM on the used-gun rack that came with two boxes of ammo. One of them had two rounds missing.
Lol, there are a lot of people who buy some big ass gun (or super lightweight one), take it to the range once, wonder why it kicks so hard and then sell it with barely half a box of ammo through it.
>Get rum
>Kill unfaithful wife
>Pawn it
Well done 47.
Based?
Also the acronym is 300 RUM so everyone knows you're an alcoholic.
For me, it's the .700 Nitro Express.

>.221 Fireball
>doesn't shoot fireballs
Smh my head
Especially when you consider it was designed specifically for the ~10" barrel of the XP-100. I think Remington was trying to use their 222 Remington cartridge, but found contained too much powder to efficiently burn in that short of a barrel and produced an unacceptable muzzle blast. Put the 221 "Fireball" in a 24" barreled rifle and it's far tamer than 99% of centerfire cartridges.
I think the reasoning is different but it's also curious that the .17 Rem Fireball is weaker than the .17 Rem.
The 17 Remington is a necked down 223 Remington, and the 17 Remington Fireball is a necked down 221 Remington Fireball.
If your going by coolest name then it’s 450 SMC. If you don’t know the history behind the name then you can suck my wiener.
Only one has a b***hin' band named after it
Just sayin'
Ok boomer. Guess the retirement home has the oldies station on.
Imagine not liking .38 Special. What a homosexual. Bet you don't like the Marshall Tucker Band either.
lol 38 special is who you hire when you need an opening act for an interesting band and don’t want to accidentally distract them with anything fun. Seriously im actually impressed that they’ve made an entire career out of 1 decent song.
*6 decent songs
You get 3. Hold on loosely is a good song. Rocking into the night is ok, but the first reaction everyone has is remembering 38 special wrote it.. I was gonna give you 2 but looked up caught up in you and recognized it..
Everything else in their discography only got any airtime because you had to buy the whole album back in the day and so it got drug along for the ride.
They’re better than grand funk railroad… but that’s a low bar.
I'm not a 70 year old whose taste in music stopped developing 50 fricking years ago, so no.

I just love the sound of aught. That's why double aught buck sounds cool.
.50 big motherfricking gun is a nice one
.50 african eliminator is nice too
but my vote goes to either .577 trex or 338 lapua magnum. lapua is just fun to say.
>338 lapua magnum. lapua is just fun to say.
I used to think it must've have had some badass meaning or be some mythical figure (like some other cartridges), but it just turned out to be a name of a company and town in Finland. Kind of disappointed me. It is still fun to say tho.
>but it just turned out to be a name of a company and town in Finland
That's what they said about Nokia too

magnum automatically makes a cartridge sound 30% cooler.
Don't you mean 20% cooler?
>super
>+10% cool, stacks with magnum.
What about Ultra?
I don't think of 9mm Parabellum's name often but it does have a neat backstory IMO. It's pulled from the company DWM's motto, who made stuff like Lugers and ammo.
>Si vis pacem, para bellum
Translated:
>If you want peace, prepare for war
I have an old box of mixed DWM 9x21 and 9x23 kicking around somewhere near here.
That is wrong, an example of folk etymology that is perpetuated by wikipedia. Parabellum is in reference to the parabolic curve of the original projectile shape. German word for parabola is parabel, the -lum suffix was added to create a latinate noum. The truth is far geekier and less cool than the fiction, so everyone picks the latter.
FFS good thing wikipedia does as much research as I do. We need Fuddbusters but for gun history instead of gun law.
>We need Fuddbusters but for gun history instead of gun law.
So C&Rsenal...
I was thinking that but they focus more on specific guns in 1.5+ hour long videos than specific random bits of gun history like the 9mm cartridge development or correcting common "knowledge" that's just some weird telephoned fact that's gotten so far from reality it's crazy (like fuddbusters does with gun law, finding the origin of it). They might mention it in a Luger video, maybe, but I'd say there's probably enough on the 9mm cartridge that they could make a whole video on that and just mention bits and pieces of the story in early 9mm handgun videos until they'd get a full video out of the 9mm. Then again maybe that would just turn into hour plus videos of related topics lol.
fuggggg
We also need people to not fall for trolls like
The 9mm was most defintely not named for the common parabola of the ogive. It was for use in the 9mm Pistole Parabellum and shared the name, which was also part of the name of the plant making it and it's intended use.
I'm just gonna keep saying the first one anyhow
.357 Magnum
I always liked .38 special but .300 blackout sounds cooler.
>300 blackout
Totally forgot about that one

.458 SOCOM and 6.8 SPC are pretty high on my list for whatever reason

.500 Magnum not only sounds hard but the cartridge being frickheug helps too.
I like the 500 special concept.
.338 Lapua Magnum is the coolest sounding round for me.

Europe must have been something else a century ago.
>folding trigger
People had some truly dreadful ideas before someone invented the trigger guard
The folding trigger comes after the trigger guard. It was a safety/concealment idea that didn't really work out. You could argue it laid the groundwork for the idea of Glock style trigger safeties.

It gives me nice cozy outdoorsy vibes.
I remember talking guns with some girl who had only shot shotguns and her dad's 9mm, she was confused why I would put 'a rifle cartridge in a pistol'.
We laugh about that but it's a reasonable question for someone who doesn't know the history of the cartridge or guns in general.

And yes, I know there is no 45 Short Colt and it's an anachronism, but that's become the accepted name for the cartridge.
