This is as close to a pic of the gun I can find.

you shouldn't have touched it. Should have left it where it was and called the police.

I suggest you still call the police and let them know where you found it

You're right.
I should call the police.

...but the idea of having my 'own gun' is somewhat - exciting.

It's a pistol that cannot be legally owned here as barrel looks shorter than the 120mm minimum, it could not have been stolen from a licensed firearm owner it had to be illegally imported.

Call the police and get them to come and pick it up, if it still has the serial number it can be traced from the manufacturer.

If you don't call the police I will report this thread to the police, they should be able to track you through your IP.

This halfwit is taking the piss.........

No, I had to work to pay for his welfare.

You know, how people work in Australia for yours.

Speaking of sockpuppet trolls who live on welfare.

Should've left it untouched where it was and summoned the pigs, man...

Marla wrote on Nov 4^th, 2017 at 1:25pm:


So there you are.

Marla is confirming that my advice is the very best of all :~ keep it in a secure lock-up at home; oil and clean it regularly; wrap it in an oil cloth; consider your find a piece of good luck against the day you may be home invaded by Pacific Islanders or some other group of imported Abos.

'Aborigines' ~ 'Abos'.

'Pommies' ~ 'Poms'

'Refugees' ~ 'Reffos'

'Irish' ~ 'Paddies'

'Welsh' ~ 'Taffs'

'Scots' ~ 'Jocks'

'Italians' ~ 'wogs'


There's nothing racist about these at all.

And stop stalking me, bitch!

Damn I am in trouble, the weapon in my pants has a much shorter barrel   

Oh bugger!
I just got phoned. Gotta go to Police station.
F@#%!!

JaSinner....why did you tell us you were Mellie?  Were you lying?

Jasin wrote on Nov 4^th, 2017 at 4:24pm:



maybe they just want to test the gun and need a ballistics dummy?

Wrong, he would have been better off not touching the gun and calling the police immediately, or if he had to take it for fear of kids picking it up, then take it straight to the nearest police station ..... not take it home for the day, post about it on the internet and only call the police once a mate catches him. 

John Smith wrote on Nov 4^th, 2017 at 5:53pm:



Wow - I actually agree with Smith.

How about lying wanker who makes up as much crap as he likes and gullible people fall right into it.

Ask him if he ever posted that he is Mellie?

Redmond Neck wrote on Nov 4^th, 2017 at 7:39pm:




Yes - and JaSin is still not back -

he must be getting stretched on the rack.

Well I did sorta shoot myself in the foot with that one.
I am so lucky I did not 'imprint' on the hand-gun.
As of yet (as far as I have been told) - the gun and prints on it are not related to any crime ...yet.
Overall, it was a stupid thing for me to have done.
Hell, would I have done the same thing if I found an un-exploded bomb (as I was lectured - at the Police Station)?
No.
Although I copped a back-hand off my mate for my untimely wit, he was supportive overall on my behalf.
Still - I totally got my knuckles whacked on this matter and I spent a very long night at the Police Station (no coffee!!!) for my troubles (not cell), being on hand for further questioning and statement, etc. Waiting on the phone for Centrelink would have been better.

So I can absolutely say that yes, if you find a gun - ring the Police ASAP.

I hope that at least they aren't going to charge you with anything?

Jasin wrote on Nov 5^th, 2017 at 11:49am:


So I was right after all ~~ you should have kept the gun.

No charge thankfully.

This is why I joined the Medical side of things.
I'm the 'tool', when it comes to guns. 

The excitement, adrenalin - really clouded my judgement.
I was lucky that I used a doggy do-do bag to pick it up (it was dirty) and work-gloves to handle it at home.
All that I could think of at the time was "It's mine. It came to me. My preciousss" etc.
Mainly because there is no other way that I could attain such a thing, unless I go through all the correct procedures.
I mean, what would you do if you found a bag of money?
Hand it in to the Police straight away, let alone call them asap to the spot??
It's done and dusted now.

My first problem with guns was as a 15 year old. My mate had a pump action pellet gun. From his balcony in western Sydney, we decided to shoot his Star Wars figurines off the wall. But when it was my time, he handed me the gun and had to get more pellets for his go, from inside. With the gun in my hand, I went all glazy eyed and ignored the figurines. Why 'play'? So I went to the edge of the balcony and started shooting at the people walking buy in the carpark below.
I had scored points on at least 10 people before my mate came back and wrestled it off me. Within 20 minutes, due to complaints by the victims - 5 police cars were at our place and I was taken in (as was my mate).

Thankfully, no-one was seriously injured - no broken skin, just bruising on two people (clothes buffered the other shots). I was a cry-baby at the Police station and in time, I was given a 1 year good behaviour bond.

Yep - guns are a 'problem' for me.
Keep me and guns far apart.
I'm a good example why 'anyone and everyone be allowed to own firearms'.

Jasin missed the chance to have someone say to him ...

"Is that a gun in your pocket or are you just glad to see me?"

I can't believe everyone missed the obvious.
If you find a pistola, take it to your local drug dealer, and swap it for drugs.
Simple, and you could either get extremely bent, or make a nice profit.
It is not like it belonged to a nice old lady who won't be able to afford groceries if she doesn't get her gun back, more like free money.

Yep Mortdooley. I need a Nanny when it comes to guns.

But hey, put a Bastard of a Sword in my hand and I'll show you how to be a cut above the rest. 

Samurai swords are technically superior to most traditional swords. They are so strong, sharp etc. But sword fighting is more than just a one sided slash. This is where the samurai swords fall short. Unless they can get the first effective strike: hitting the opponent of breaking the opponent's sword. They are flawed in the way one must use them to follow through with a one-sided edge. You need extreme wrist manoeuvres to bring such a sword around for another swing quickly. Especially with the longer versions. Even then, doing it by wrist lessens the strength of impact.

I do prefer double-sided swords. If I miss on the first strike, I can automatically bring it back quickly to strike with the other side. No need to get wristy or twist my shoulders. It's fast and effective.

Now, if someone could make a Double-Edged sword with the quality of a Katana sword ...then we are in business!
But I doubt it will happen as most of the strength of the Samurai sword is held in the blunt side. It really is just a long strong face shaving razor.

I have favourites. I like the Cutlass styles because they would be the all-round type of sword fighting. One-sided is their only drawback. But they are, as they say, good for close quarter confrontations with minimal movement.

Foils are good and extremely fast work. But you have to be very precise in your targeting or the opponent can still persevere in his attack with a good conventional sword and brush away any foil defence, if not break it. So a slice across the throat or into the heart is really the only sure bet for a foil not receiving a retaliation. If opponent is well armoured in such places - the Foil fighter would well and truly be "Drats! Foiled again!".

So I guess my choice Sword would be the Excalibur type. But a shorter version, not the traditional 'Long Sword'. Double-Edged, good weighted pommel and length suited to close quarter combat. The Hilt and pommel must be very practical more than artistic as it really has to be suited to comfortable and efficient use.
...when Sword fighting. You fight with the aspect that the blade is just the extension of your Hilt/Pommel. In other words - you are just throwing punches and the blade is the bonus. It's like teaching a sprinter to run 120m rather than the actual 100m. This way, you teach the sprinter not to pull up early at the 98th metre, as they are want to do - in the end. Same with Sword fighting. Teach them to fight as if their blade is but 20cm long and with always a far heavier training sword.

Something to consider if using a real katana:

When using a bladed weapon, it is always wise to gauge the expertise of the opponent.

An interesting option is the old straight razor. As a concealable self-defence option, it really takes a lot of beating. That is, of course, if you don't mind staining your Nikes.
