Fairly simple question. So far I’m the only one posting, others are welcome if not encouraged to do so too. But I’ve been trying to cover a variety of materials to see what people like.
Is there any time period, type of design, kind of post, etc that you want to see here?
Leave a comment here and I’ll try and find at least one post’s worth of whats interesting to you.
Want stuff from a given conflict? Want to learn more about the guns of a specific country? Do you want to see more unique mechanisms? Love big bore cartridges? Let me know!

Siege weaponry isn’t usually my area of expertise, but I think I should be able to find something good for that. You should see something here in the next day or two.
Stick to what the name of the community says. Rare, prototype, one-off, mythical and everything else of the like all apply. There’s plenty of potential content. Just don’t post too often and run yourself out of material.

Thanks, I’ve been trying to put out a lot of stuff to get the community to grow fast because I know I can’t keep it alive by myself forever. And we’ve almost hit 300 members, which I mostly attribute to being found in All thanks to those posts. But it’s probably a good idea to come down from posting ten plus times a day.
You did the legwork getting things rolling. I’m sure there will be other people posting —myself included—now that there’s a good crowd.
I thought this community was just about firearms, would medieval weapons work too?
The way I see it this is a community about the coalescance of history and design not just guns.
Medieval content is welcome. There may be focus on firearms but any kind of arm or martial instrument is certainly welcome here.
I like the ones with unique mechanisms, e. g. the one with the cat which shoots around corners.
Are there mentionable weapons from famous people? Had Elvis a golden pistol?
Thank you for keeping this community alive.
There’s no shortage of failed designs with unique mechanisms.
And I can definitely find you some some mentionable things from famous people.
If you’re interested in some of the more personal stories I’ve got one about the 1st US President Washington, and how he almost got killed that’ll post soon.
I’d also recommend you watch this video on an incredible story of a WW1 soldier who had an odds defining journey with his rifle that he was punished for carving. I posted about it a few days ago and it didn’t get much traction here, but I think the story is incredibe.
