Frequently Asked Questions

What is the origin of the term 'Fudd' in the gun community?

The term 'Fudd' originates from the Looney Tunes character Elmer Fudd, known for hunting rabbits with a shotgun. In the gun community, it describes individuals who claim to support gun rights but believe ownership should be restricted to what they personally use, often excluding modern firearms.

Why is the myth 'you don't have to aim a shotgun' incorrect?

This myth is incorrect because shotgun spread is limited, typically about one inch per yard. At 10 yards, the spread is only 8-10 inches. Without aiming, it's highly probable to miss a target, making it a dangerous misconception for self-defense or hunting.

Can revolvers malfunction, and if so, how?

Yes, revolvers can malfunction. Issues can include cylinder alignment and timing problems, or a primer or casing protruding from the cylinder, jamming it. While generally reliable, they are not immune to failures, unlike the myth suggests.

Are polymer-framed pistols like Glocks less reliable than steel-framed guns?

No, modern polymer-framed pistols are highly reliable and durable, often matching or exceeding the longevity of all-steel firearms. They are designed to withstand high round counts and are a proven technology in firearms today.
