Thanks for this report. I printed it out and set it aside—it’s that very interesting what you say about handguns. Our professional hunters—those who go on wound searchres with their dogs—usually hunt wild boars (60 to over 100 each year). As I’ve observed over the years, they never carry a...

you're right, too

There’s a professional hunter here who was grappling with a 150-kg boar that was lying on top of him. He managed to draw his .357 Magnum revolver and fired the entire cylinder into the boar’s chest. If he’d had a pistol, he would have been in serious trouble. But those are the kinds of...

Hello everyone. Does anyone have any personal experience with this? Also, what distances have you shot at with it? Best regards and thanks Foxi

We lost both world wars because the Americans intervened. Otherwise, Europe wouldn’t have stood a chance—neither in World War I nor in World War II. With all due respect to the Canadians, the German Wehrmacht would have wiped the floor with you in a week. It took 14 days to defeat France with...

You have a great sense of humor. I like you. A Mauser 98 system was a sporting rifle—you can’t be serious, can you? Who goes around spouting such “wisdom”? The Mauser 98 system is still the most reliable bolt-action rifle today, and not just in Africa. I wonder why?

4 x a few of them had 30.30 ( the older ones) and 30.06 mostly

I don't want to convince you; you have your opinion, and I have mine—which I'm also happy to change at any time. But if, after 45 years of hunting on four continents, you've never met anyone who's ever used that cartridge, then that's also telling. The .303 is like English cuisine. It's...

Wow, you’re being very generous with your data there. In the 1950s, it was replaced by the NATO .308. England flooded its empire with this rimmed cartridge, so it was cheap and readily available. Today, in terms of performance, it’s at the very bottom of the 7x57 range. It never became popular...

and ? We were also denied a controversial goal. If Chancellor Merz had called, would Germany be allowed to play again?

Europe has a population of no less than 745 million people. I ran a quick AI search and found that between 10,000 and 20,000 people die from heat-related causes in the U.S. every year. The reported numbers in the U.S. are much, much lower. Who cares about all your homeless people and those who...

tell us about your double please.

"Food for thought though, more Europeans have died from heat in the last month than all USA firearms deaths for all of 2025" don't know if that's really true. It's mostly older people who die from the heat. Don't they die from it where you are? They're probably splashing around in the pool...

Well, it's not just electricity consumption, but the total amount of energy a person needs in a year. Don't ask me how the statisticians calculate that. Germany has the highest tax burden in Europe, alongside Belgium, and one of the highest retirement ages(beneth Spain and a few others...
