Authors will spend years researching and writing but can't spend 10 minutes learning how a gun works. They can't even figure out the correct caliber for the guns in their story.
Why is it so hard for noguns to comprehend basic information about guns?

doesn't happen, they lie

Solution: Read books by authors who are/were huge gun nerds, such as Arthur Conan Doyle.

>>63969306 (OP)
>Research
Aka Google/wiki
>In depth research involving expert testimony
Reading shit posts online.

Jack carr cums his pants writing about guns. Unfortunately it's mostly tacticslop sigs (sponsored) and Gucci ar15s

What's funny to me is in lonesome dove the main guys, Call and Gus use 1860 henry rifles when they have a bunch of 1873s they give to deetz and the farmhands. Pea Eye has an 1866, but Pea Eye says she is a shit shot anyway and in other scenes he has a double barreled shotgun and a remington rolling block I assume he hunts with
One of those fudd things I remember is in like the first or second grade they read stone fox to us and in that book they keep saying
>hand guns bad, because they kill people
>rifles hella dank though
It came out in 1980 so I'm assuming it must have been some fudd who thought hunting was fine but wanted a handgun ban

Very few do and those aren't the ones you're complaining.

>and writing but can't spend 10 minutes learning how a gun works.

Because guns are icky and they're not going to put in the effort because the non-sperg audience doesn't' know or care either.

>They can't even figure out the correct caliber for the guns in their story.

See above.

>Why is it so hard for noguns to comprehend basic information about guns?

See above.

What's the specific example, out of curiosity?

>>63969306 (OP)
more likely guns are just the only subject yoy know enough minutiae about to notice the mistakes amd old hearsay.

Starside Blues is pretty /k/ino reading, author knows his shit. Brigador is also written by a former british tank officer

You get used to using a gun in combat and you don't want to change.

Is why so many still use AR style rifles instead of something newer.

Also, newer doesn't necessarily mean better.
Henry and 1873 were basically same except for loading gate and forestock.

Gus and Call were not very rich and didn't have many bandits to shoot after they retired from the Rangers in 1861 and became cattlemen in Lonesome Dove. Their Henry rifles were their last "issued" guns they got, 15 years prior to the setting of the movie.

>>63971006
same thing with the news
>>63971396
ARs are better than newer guns.
A Winchester 1873 is better than a henry 1860 because the henry has no foregrip, the retarded spring thing that explodes rounds and shoots rimfire ammo
and every other member of the ranch has an 1873 except pea eye who has a 1866. Why would all the workers be richer than Gus and Call?

This.

Once you learn another topic well, you see how much the "news" and Hollywood lie about or know nothing about the topic.

Because they had no need to "upgrade" their Henry for sitting around Lonesome Dove and drinking and poking Lorena.

Like said, they get used to them. They weren't online FB using LARPers.

Had an uncle who was a Texas Ranger in the 1920s-1940s and he only carried a SAA in .45 Colt his entire law enforcement career from 1918 to 1960s. He killed around 20 men with that revolver too.

The more specialized knowledge you have in any field the more you realize journalists and politicians are the most useless and imbecilic group of vestigial liars and buffoons on earth.

>journalists
I believe should stop using this term as a blanket term for undesirables, since there are a lot of people that risk their lives to find and publish the Truth, i.e. going to conflict zones, interviewing witnesses, photographing shit and risking lives to smuggle it out, etc.
It's not their fault that every grifter, biased news anchor, and Tw*tter cheerleader that never leaves their home/studio calls themselves """journalists""".
And local small-town papers pretty much volunteer to sit through court hearings, budget committees, etc. so we don't have to. They're often the only people to report corrupt shit in local/municipal government.

It's like saying you don't like all lawyers... yeah mostly are evil and/or retarded, but someone has to run the permit office, and a brave few uphold the Constitution/fight injustice/protect the helpless/save the forests.
We should definitely purge the bottom 90-95% of those who identify as journos, but we'd lost without ANY. Just saying

>Doyle had a longstanding interest in mystical subjects and remained fascinated by the idea of paranormal phenomena, even though the strength of his belief in their reality waxed and waned periodically over the years.
>Some have mistakenly assumed that Doyle's turn to spiritualism was prompted by the death of his son Kingsley, but Doyle began presenting himself publicly as a spiritualist in 1916, and Kingsley died on 28 October 1918 (from pneumonia contracted during his convalescence after being seriously wounded in the 1916 Battle of the Somme).[91] Nevertheless, the war-related deaths of many people who were close to him appear to have even further strengthened his long-held belief in life after death and spirit communication. Doyle's brother Brigadier-general Innes Doyle died, also from pneumonia, in February 1919. His two brothers-in-law (one of whom was E. W. Hornung, creator of the literary character Raffles), as well as his two nephews, also died shortly after the war.
>Doyle found solace in supporting spiritualism's ideas and the attempts of spiritualists to find proof of an existence beyond the grave. In particular, according to some,[92] he favoured Christian Spiritualism and encouraged the Spiritualists' National Union to accept an eighth precept – that of following the teachings and example of Jesus of Nazareth.
