Why does every movie have charecters firing 7+ rounds out of a 6-shooter without reloading? |

Due to having family members in the army, and being around gun-obsessed friends for years, I have a vast knowledge of firearms, especially military firearms from the last 100 years or so. Calibers, energy, damage, range, accuracy, whatever. Even accessories, magazine capacity, one gun versus another. |

Well, technically, revolvers can hold between 4 (5?) and 8 rounds. However, movie directors tend to ignore details like that that upset us gun nuts. For the most part, they probably load up when the camera is off of them (assuming the whole scene isn't shot at once), or else they have mini charges inside the gun that fire, but aren't attached to the actual.... slots where you load the shells. |

What exactly is a "receiver", i never understood what it was but everyone talks about them. |

I don't know the exact definition for a receiver. |

"La bellezza del paessa di Galilei!"
*ahem* predecessor to the ak-47, made by the germans in ww2? ( this is trivia) |

Sturmgeweher-44. Chambered in an intermediate (7.92mm?) round, it was the first mid-range assault rifle that had the power of a rifle round, yet the firing rate of a submachine gun. |

|

|
Is there any weapon that shots through any solid wall (including all types of bullet proof), or is near from this? |

I'd have to guess something along the lines of the AA-12. Not really much for shotguns. |

What are the benefits or disadvantages of choosing a polymer pistol over a steel frame? Say for example if one were comparing an M9 or 92FS to a Springfield XD(M) or standard XD .40 other than the obvious size and caliber difference? What are some circumstances in which a polymer would be better than a steel frame or vice versa? |

Well, if I remember correctly, the polymer is used to be a lightweight substance, while still being sturdy. In fact, I believe that the G36C, along with others, are comprised mainly of polymer for the purpose of being light. |
