"I'm a gamer"

That is the excuse I gave for knowing how to field strip a .22 rifle. That is the excuse I gave for knowing how many rounds are in a .32 machine pistol.

I know more about my stepdad's guns than he does. This is rather bad.

Ya, I know what'cha mean. I can name the caliber, range, and rate of fire of most modern military rifles. I just use the "I'm a nerd" excuse though...

actually the true term in millitary nut job so welcome to the club haha

i have a collection of helmets and modle tanks and planes

Video games... I can't say that I've learned much from them*, but I've certainly un-learned a lot of stuff. Empathy for one.



*Excluding WW2 games, which have proved to be better learning tools than any history class.

I am now learning how to field strip a M16 and 9mm because I hung around a few Sea B's in sea cadets.

And games and books have taught me a lot.

WW2 games and other video games are the reason I know so much.

Also, I posted this topic because I'm going bear and hog hunting this weekend.

i know the basics of striping an sa80

Dead Frontier gave me the ability to identify multiple modern guns.

After playing Dead Frontier, it made it a lot easier to pick up other information from games.

Also, sometimes I check out guns from games, on Wikipedia. This makes me learn even mo'.
