From Othias at C&Rsenal, talking about the Russian Contract Winchester 1895:
“I can’t be held responsible for what you learn in fiction.”
In context, he was talking about people whose sole exposure to guns is through RPG-play on their computers, but if you think about it, it’s applicable to so many other areas: movie depictions of gunplay, books’ descriptions of romance, movie depictions of auto-driving, newspaper hypotheticals, and let’s not forget political hyperbole (e.g. the 9mm Europellet “blowing a lung out of the body”). All fiction, and all often paraded as fact when of course they aren’t, no matter how plausible.
absolutely right about fiction.

C & Rsenal is why I’m about a year behind on all my household projects.
The 9mm Europilot can blow a lung out only because Hunter Biden tried to snort a box of them.
