How can there be sin
We're the flowers in the dustbin
We're the poison in your human machine ..."

Last night Overwatch 2 launched, and I jumped in to play a few rounds of my favorite class: Support.
Mercy was my first, and still most loved character, though Lucio, and Zenyatta were also well loved and played... I built this in 2017? A full-size Mercy Pistol because let's face it - Battle Mercy is the funnest Mercy.

Went to see sunset at Trois Pistol, no color explosion, just the sound of the old ferry being moved by the waves.
Stop at local store and got 2 excellent Stout beers brew locally, at least I could enjoy this later.
Pistol River State Park is set in the dunes of the southern Oregon coast. The river supposedly got its name when a militia soldier lost his pistol in the river during the infamous Rogue River Indian War. In March of 1856, a decisive battle was fought here.
Harrington & Richardson's 929 revolver was a 9-shot, .22 caliber gun with a swing out cylinder and double action trigger. This popular and inexpensive plinker was available with a 2, 4, or 6-inch barrel and wood or plastic grips.
Sweet Pea blossoms adorn the vistas at the Pistol River viewpoint on Hwy 101 in Southern Oregon. I was hoping that the clouds would make more of an appearance, but they decided to hang out just outside the frame :-) Happy 4th of July to you!

Clearly, a pistol primer doesn't make for a very pretty picture, but today's Macro Monday topic is Begins with the letter P, and the tiniest P-thing thing I could find to make a macro out of was this pistol primer, which is so small, six of them would fit on the nail of my little finger. This is the back of a primer, which faces into the cartridge case, towards the powder charge, and when the cap is struck by a firing pin, it crushes the anvil, which you see here, sending hot gases into the powder charge, which makes the gun go boom.
I have hundreds of these primers left over from the days when I used to reload my ammunition. Back in those day, my favorite pastime was competing in shooting matches, mainly rifle matches (Several decades ago, I was on both the United States International Rifle Team and the Marine Corps Rifle Team), but also skeet and, to a lesser extent, pistol matches, and I was doing so much shooting, I had no choice but to hand load my own ammunition because store-bought ammo was much too expensive. Also, I could hand load more accurate ammo than I could buy commercially. This is a common practice among avid shooters, who fire hundreds of rounds in practice for every one they fire in competition. Of course, the media would likely label us as crazy NRA type gun nuts (I've been a member of the NRA since 1949), even though most of the competitors I shot with never even went hunting and were certainly no threat to other humans. It's a real shame that a few crazies have been able to give a bad name to a sport that so many millions of us so peacefully enjoy, just because the sport involves guns.
A dueling pistol from the 1700's made in london and once belonging to the mayor of Youghal,co.Cork.housed in the youghal heritage centre
Doing a little target practice in preparation to take my Concealed Weapons test next week. Look out world...I'll soon be a pistol packing Momma!!! LOL
A Seminole Indian, fighting on the side of the South, fires a shot from his pistol at the "Raid on Fort Pierce" Civil War Re-Enactment in Fort Pierce, Florida.
This is a 1951 shot of my dad shooting my Hi Standard .22. And, yes, even though I was 17, that was my pistol he's shooting. Actually, dad had never had a gun in his hands in his life until he and my mother got me my first .22 rifle for my 10th Christmas in 1944. Note that he's shooting with one hand, instead of the two-handed Weaver stance most pistol shooters use today. Back then, it would have been a sacrilege to use two hands to shoot a hand gun, but then times do change.
Most of my friends owned a .22 and/or shotgun for hunting, and I even brought my target rifle to school with me and stored it in my locker because I was on the high school rifle team in Springfield, Massachusetts. Yet, with so many guns, so easily purchased, there were no mass shootings of any kind, and homicides were much rarer than they are today. As I said, times do change.
This is an image shot at Pistol River on the Southern Oregon Coast about 10 or 20min before sunrise. I used a long exposure to capture the light streaks of the cars driving down 101.

this is the real deal!
Went to a Cowboy Action Shooting match in Las Cruces back in 2011 with a couple of friends. Kind of like an Old West ComicCon with real guns and ammunition!
Tried sepia on this since it's the Old West and all but it just didn't work quite right.
Crossed flintlock pistols represent the Military Police Corps and the unit crest below identifies the 175th Military Police Battalion in which my father served as a company commander during the U.S. occupation of Germany in the first years of 1950 during the Korean War. When we returned to the United States he served in what came to be called the Criminal Investigation Command now the Army Criminal Investigation Division (CID) which these days is the Army version of NCIS.
For the Macro Mondays challenge, Father. Area shown is about 45mm tall.
Happy Macro Monday!
A dual purpose ALEF, the Pistol Shrimp can operate both in the oceans under the ice shelf and on the frozen surface.
A small energy pistol, with detachable stock and handguard/bayonet. As a sidearm it has proved popular among line officers, and in its carbine form has found effective use in naval boarding operations.
IP 600 color. film for the cameras with batteries transferred to battery cartridge and with a production date of 2013 and shot in the summer of 2018 in an SX-70 Alpha 1 Model 2 camera. All came out faded like this even with an ND filter and exposure wheel turned to dark and film ejected into a dark bag immediately...not sure why so faded.
Yay :D it's a pistol :D It's a revolver :D And it's a bullpup :D
I'm honestly not too sure how I like it. Obviously it's the same build as the others, just rearranged. But I like that I can make so much out of these.
4 round .357Mag cylinder. Over charged of course.
“Pistol” is sometimes silly, either by intention or because this sort of biopictorial mission is always going to produce something at least a little silly. The director intercuts the action with snippets of contemporary movies and television and advertisements. Every shot seems taken from a different angle. Boyle cants the camera, as on TV’s “Batman,” plays tricks with mirrors, uses slow motion and step frames. It’s all patched together rather like a documentary, without presenting itself as one. And by framing it in the standard aspect ratio — like old movies and TV shows — Boyle makes “Pistol” feel at once historical and whimsical, present and distant. It’s like something out of a storybook.
