I thought I'd pass it on because these are the kind of resources I know we writers are always after. I suspect many of you have found it already, but I hadn't so for those that also haven't here is the link.
I had no idea there were so many different types of gun out there; it's all a little scary really. The site gives run downs on what a type of gun is as well, so if you want to know the difference between a submachine gun and a machine gun, this is the site for you.
The site is in English and Russian.
This is a list of the categories the site has:
- Handguns
- Submachine guns
- Military Rifles
- Assault Rifles
- Sniper Rifles
- Civilian Rifles
- Shotguns
- Machine guns
- Anti-tank rifles
- Grenade launchers
- Ammunition
- Traumatic Weapons
Cool! I like sites like this (erm...research sites not sites about guns). I recently had to research older weapons such as Flintlock pistols and how they work for my character. Sites on antique Crossbows would be good too :)
ReplyDeleteIt was always swords for those of us in Highlander fandom :).
DeleteI can't remember what I actually searched for when this site popped up, but it's so useful. At least now my character won't sound like a complete idiot because she's carrying a gun that doesn't exist.
As for crossbows - this one has lots of pictures, but not much info.

oh thanks for this. At least my character can use a visually described crossbow :)
DeleteI don't have any stories with guns, but I'm sharing this for others who might. Good find.
ReplyDeleteIt just popped up and it was too good not to pass on :)
DeleteNice post. Most of my stories involves murder and I got tired of using poisons, then knives. I'm into guns now, so appreciate your informative post:)
ReplyDeleteThanks :) I hope the site is as useful to you as I found it.
DeleteNice list! Thanks for linking the site! I just ask my hubby, he is head over heels in love with guns. Ugh...

Yes. Everything you need to know about guns! I wish I had known about this when I wrote my last manuscript which used Taser guns.
