I know there are some shooters on the SD, and mrAru turned me on to a great series called Forgotten Weapons on Youtube. Each episode goes into different firearms past and present. I just saw an interesting and funny pair of episodes on the [Zip 22](https://guns.fandom.com/wiki/USFA_ZiP_.22). [Episosde 1](https://www.forgottenweapons.com/usfa-zip-22-how-a-garbage-gun-destroyed-a-good-company/) was the talk about the gun, and the [second](https://www.forgottenweapons.com/zip-22-shooting-the-worst-gun-ever/) was actually showing it fired. Without a doubt, it really is the worst gun every put on the market. and this is coming from someone who has owned a Raven in .25 … [nothing like barrel shooting and hearing the pop of the firing and a gap before the ting of the round bouncing off a rusted barrel] ---

Ah, yes. Gun Jesus. And that is a horrible gun. ---

I had considered purchase of one of those several years back. As I handled it for a few minutes and saw how the bolt had to be actuated I decided to take a pass. Apparently one of my better decisions. ---

I didn’t like even the funky plastic boxy fake alien zapper look of the think on video - I thought it must handle like a toy, you know the old toy guns that shot pellets with a spring [they had this funky pwang feeling when you shot a pellet] The only use I could see for one is building a costume prop alien blaster of some sort out of it if you were too lazy to form plastic sheet. ---

I’m an enormous fan of PBS’s Antique Roadshow and I somehow never saw this parody until this morning before work. Seldom to I laugh in these pre-caffeinated hours but this had me rolling: [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/PQOvv_b9TpY/maxresdefault.jpg "Antiques Roadshow - Chekhov's Gun") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PQOvv_b9TpY) “Does he play hockey?” “I’m sorry, are you still filming? _deadpan_ Yes, we are.” “Alright, ok, give the loaded gun back to daddy. That’s still good.” ---
