Jonathan Ferguson at the Royal Armouries, Leeds, points out something that we both know but many enthusiasts do not. European crossbows and early firearms were often not braced against the body at all, just rested against the cheek or held in front of the face like someone shooting a hangun two-handed today.

Ważna informacja dla strzelców czarnoprochowych! ⚠️

Od 1 stycznia br. czeskie sklepy nie mogą sprzedawać czarnego prochu i kapiszonów osobom nieposiadającym udokumentowanego zamieszkania na terytorium Czech (nowa ustawa o broni i amunicji nr 90/2024 Sb.).

Zmieniły się nie tylko przepisy (ustawa nr 90/2024 Sb.), ale przede wszystkim system informatyczny. Obecnie nawet posiadanie Europejskiej Karty Broni (EKB) może nie pomóc. Sprzedawcy nie mają technicznej możliwości zarejestrowania transakcji dla obcokrajowca w nowym, cyfrowym rejestrze CRZ.

Dodatkowym problemem jest fakt, że od kilku miesięcy wciąż nie ma dostaw Vesuvitu do sklepów. Producent (Explosia) przekierował moce przerobowe na cele wojskowe, a cywilne zapasy wyczerpały się parę miesięcy temu.

"Estes Industries, the model-rocket maker, bought the Minden mill from Hodgdon last year and plans to have it back in service this summer, after the completion of $3.5 million in safety upgrades paid for by the Pentagon through the #Defense Production Act. The Biden administration has used that law to start bringing critical elements of industrial production, from certain chemicals to factories, back to the U.S."

Normal ppl discovering war gaming miniatures: oh cool sounds fun. I’ll get the starter set and then maybe pick a country to expand

Me: I will get a basic army set for two countries from as many time periods as possible so I can devise a long-ass campaign simulating a war lasting from 1800-1950
