MGS4s quirkiest gun, the Race Gun

So, in Metal Gear solid 4, there's a gun dubbed the "Race Gun" also sometimes known as the "Ricochet gun"

In gameplay terms, this gun does less damage per hit than the Glock 18 - 300 dmg, whereas the Race Gun does 200 dmg. Despite using a cartridge that's rated for higher pressure. The game's way of explaining it, is that it's using reduced charged ammo. In reality, you would also need to change spring weights as well, to ensure reliable cycling. This design of a double-stack 1911 pistol with a 2 piece frame, is usually referred to as a "2011" pistol. Technically that term is owned by a another manufacturer of double-stack 1911s with 2 piece frames, but "2011" is generic enough in my opinion.

So the race gun. What kind of racing is it for? It's optimized for IPSC Standard and USPSA Limited division. Judging by the baseplate of the magazine being flat and running paralell to the slide, it mimicks guns that has to fit within the Standard division box in IPSC.

This particular looks to fit the USPSA Limited Division slightly more close. The main point behind USPSA Limited / IPSC Standard, is that you can have a very conventional gun in 9x19 or bigger, and it has to fit within a box, without that many funky additions like a ported barrel, optic, muzzle brake or really large magazine. The 2011 pistols are the current domineering guns in these divisions, but we are seeing more different guns rise up in the top levels of competitions, Nils Jonasson represented Canik with a striker-fired pistols in Limited Division at the previous United States Practical Shooting Association's (USPSA) National Championship in Limited Division.

These guns are usually chambered in .40 S&W as that's the minimum caliber to fit the require for what is called "Major" power factor. The benefit is that for hits that are outside the center, but still on target, you will get less punishment for sloppy precision. The downside however, is more recoil and less capacity. This will really bite you in the ass in shooting events with high round counts, forcing you to reload more often. The gun in the game however, is supposed to be chambered in .38 Super also known as 9x23mm.

So, what we do we gain by using this cartridge instead? If you look really close, .38 Super / 9x23 has slightly less of a taper than 9x19. The cartridge can also be roll-sized to slim down the cartridge slightly more to make sure you get more cartridges in the same magazine. So not only is 19 rounds a realistic capacity, I would argue the should have 1 or 2 more rounds, perhaps even more 3 more rounds considering how some people are tuning springs and magazine followers. IPSC Standard Division does not limit your magazine by number of bullets, but in actual length, that way, it's up to the competitors and equipment manufactures to see how hard they can squeeze.

What is the military/law enforcement application of such a pistol?

The benefits are very clear. You can use higher capacity magazines, more precise guns for more precise shots increasing the range of how far a sidearm would be useful for the soldier/operator. A better trigger as well allowing for the person pulling the trigger to be more confident in their equipment. We are also seeing more and more police agencies and law enforcement departments allowing officers to personally use 2011s and red dot equipped pistols.

For the MGS4 Race gun in particular, the base gun is obviously by the historic Streyer-Voight Infinity. Currently, as of writing, to order a gun, you must go through their consultation, which costs $1000, this is on top of their guns in general starting at $4500, so that means you are looking at $5500 before you even have picked a color.

This does give you a pistol of incredible craftsmanship which will last as long you take care of it. So yes, despite the quirkiness of it, it's a highly realistic gun and with modern machining quality only increasing and becoming more affordable, we are likely going to see even more of these pistols in the future.

The mental game behind competitive shooting is just as important as the whole “pulling triggers” thing - and for many who have never competed before, negotiating the mental hurdles can be a pretty challenging task.⁣

In our latest article, our boy Chau goes over the start of his USPSA career, and how he went from worrying about 𝘮𝘢𝘺𝘣𝘦 throwing Mikes or No-Shoots to just going with the flow and letting it do. Bottom line? 𝗗𝗼𝗻’𝘁 𝗹𝗲𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗯𝗲𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝘁 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲𝗿 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻 𝗴𝗼𝗲𝘀 𝗼𝗳𝗳.⁣

Original Tactical Weeb: Bill Ruger

Bill Ruger, also known as one of the biggest fudds in the firearms industry, could also be argued is a proto-weeb of the highest order.

In the 1950s, he made his first pistol in .22lr, called the Ruger Standard, based on the design of the Japanese Nambu pistols.

While having features similar to the German P08 Luger pistol, making it very marketable based on the Lugers reputation, as that was currently seeing success as a competition pistol in Europe after the war.

Now taking a hard right, seeing classic anime, such as Evangelion, making a habit of referencing or showing German culture, we are currently realizing that the perfect blend of American industrialism, German aesthetics, and Japanese innovation is now a solid tradition. So, to celebrate this blend of culture, I'd recommend spending the weekend plinking with a Ruger MkIV or 22/45 topped off with some prime Japanese optics;

USPSA shooter's hand twitching on her waistband in the grocery store checkout line every time the barcode scanner beeps

[riflebrass]

The gun store got a bunch of steel targets including a hostage target I've been wanting for a while. It's a steel silhouette that looks to be standard USPSA sized that's supposed to be the hostage with a steel swinger that sits just behind his shoulder to be your bad guy.

It's a neat target but the damn thing is $370. It's a really nice target on a nice sturdy metal frame but no way in hell I'm paying that much for it.
