Obsessed with hipster bicycles. Also is extremely ethnocentric oriented toward Western Europe and only cares about their history. Imagine my surprise.

This thread isn't about RPGs anymore, just Sawyer and his interests.

Anyway, is Sawyer the kind of guy that likes to go to the shooting range? That would actually surprise me TBH.

From 2010
I have three rifles (a .22LR Henry Lever Carbine, .357 Magnum Rossi 92, and a Russian capture Mauser K98k) but I don't think that qualifies me as a gun nut. I purchased the rifles because I wanted to understand what it means to be a gun owner in the United States and because I wanted to have a more practical understanding of how firearms are operated and maintained.

Because there are no outdoor ranges in Orange County, I can only use my Henry and Rossi (with .38 Special) at local indoor ranges. At some time in the future, I'd like to get an M1911 and a Ruger Vaquero, but that will probably require selling off a couple of the rifles I currently have.

Owning a mace would be prestigious and surprising for such a gaylord but the reason, man, the reason is to "understand what it means to be a gun owner in the United States and because I wanted to have a more practical understanding of how firearms are operated and maintained".
Dude is really a talentless autist.

Come on people it’s not that complicated. He likes relatively simple, retro, built to purpose, mechanical things. Old French bikes. Old Italian cars. Overengineered German watches. Old guns. He’s a greasemonkey at heart.

tfw owning three rifles doesn't qualify you as a gun nut in your country
Owning multiple firearms is your duty as an American.


A few of mine are reproductions(Winchester 1873 is my favorite of the bunch, lever action is fun.) Oldest is my grandfather's M1 Garand. Remington 870 for home defense, my EDC is a S&W M&P Shield.

Searching for my kidnapped sister
The timescale is pretty mind-boggling too. It seems Göbekli Tepe was in active use for about three thousand years. That's enough for a whole bunch of civilisations to rise and fall...

Indeed. Most of the bronze age history is a solid continuation, which is *very* weird considering how little information preservation from that time has happened.
I dont know if you are serious. But the answer is that Bronze is seriously easy to discover, mine, melt, and work. Thus it's easy to accidentally invent bronze and make bronze items. In comparison, iron is harder than the devil though the iron products are much better than bronze. So accidental inventing is harder.
Which is why bronze civilizations are numerous and spread across the world but iron civs are more concentrated (inherited and passed down knowledge and techniques)
