Hardpan Curmudgeon SASS #8967 Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 This one's tough. I'm embarrassed to say what my score was... at least for now. Firearms Quiz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Badger Mountain Charlie SASS #43172 Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 Some I answered wrong but after reading the correct answer, I realized that I knew the answer, but had a brain fade. Not a lot of wilggle room there. Forgot about the firing pin, retainer and extractor on the 1911 A1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpo Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 When it said that Glocks in 380 were only available in Europe, I decided it was a bad test. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cat Brules Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 I did well, however several of the questions were so obscure and specific to obscure weapons as to be not what I'd consider "general" firearms questions. I believe that the given answer listed to least one of the questions is wrong. It was interesting though, and fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshal Mo Hare, SASS #45984 Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 We face many tests in the world. They are not all easy. Some are damned near impossible. It's life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bad Hand Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 61%, but there were some bad questions, such as the Glock one, and the SMLE had 2 same answers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crooked River Pete, SASS 43485 Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 69%, but I know you can get a .380 Glock in the US. 1911- 1 slide,2 frame, 3 barrel,4 barrel bushing, 5 recoil spring,6 spring retainer, 7 take down pin, what am I missing???

Jeb Stuart #65654 Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 69%, but I know you can get a .380 Glock in the US. 1911- 1 slide,2 frame, 3 barrel,4 barrel bushing, 5 recoil spring,6 spring retainer, 7 take down pin, what am I missing??? That was also my answer 7, can't figure out what the eighth piece is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramblin Gambler Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 I got 39%, but I had no business knowing a lot of those questions. I don't reload, I don't know nuthin about european guns, etc. Of the questions I DID have any business knowing, I only missed 5. But to be fair, I took wild guesses at the rest and probably got at least 5 of them right. Oh and I dispute the 1911 parts question based on the fact that not all 1911s have barrel bushings. I said 7 too and I did remember the spring guide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smuteye John SASS#24774 Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 56%- some of the questions had me wondering, too. I'm not a big rifle shooter, so several of the long gun questions were a guess- along with all of the Warsaw Pact questions. Former and wannabe military guns don't tickle my fancy so my knowledge of them is extremely limited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Echeconnee Drifter Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 I got 53%. I think I got one question right by guessing; the rest I just knew. Thank you Ian from Forgotten Weapons! Some I answered wrong but after reading the correct answer, I realized that I knew the answer, but had a brain fade. Not a lot of wilggle room there. Forgot about the firing pin, retainer and extractor on the 1911 A1. You don't remove those as part of the normal field stripping operations.
