Happy Birthday Larsin! I'll have to reinstall COD4. I'm in need of a serious ass whoopin'

Thanks Everyone.

Welcome Arwen.

Congrats Nummy.

To be accurate, in my original post I said that cartridge revolvers were common place by 1873. The reality was that shortly after the Civil War the old cap & ball revolvers had cartridge conversion kits so that they could fire metallic cartridges. The first actual cartridge designed revolver came out in 1873 which is the now famous Colt Single Action Army "Peacemaker". That is the most common revolver seen in western TV shows and movies and is known as "The Gun That Won The West". Colt has produced it off and on since then and it is available from Colt today.

I have Q3 and Team Arena.

Welcome BigDOg.

Happy Birthday!

19 degrees F for a high today. This morning was 8 degrees.

Holy Shit!!! Congratulations Budman!!

Congratulations!

Looks great Icey. I loved the old MOHAA map. That was a great game.

Welcome to the forums. See you on the WAW servers.

Other than the out of control camping, the main reason I stopped playing COD4 is because of the ridiculous speed. It needs to be slowed down to where it was a few years ago. I would definitely reinstall the game and play again if it was like that. I was literally exhausted after playing a couple of maps and questioned myself as to whether I had fun or not. COD5 death match servers 1 & 2 are set perfectly in my opinion. I know... I'm a pantywaist candyass. LOL!

Nice piece of furniture. They don't make them like that anymore.

I love the 1858 Remington. It is far more reliable than the Colts, easier to remove the cylinder, and the sights are superior. Mine is as accurate as any of my modern handguns. Here is my stainless 1858 .44 Remington that I bought in the mid 1990's. This one is by Pietta - Italy. I like the target sights on yours and that barrel length must give it good accuracy pretty far down range.

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday Johnny!

If you use something like Crisco to seal the front chambers it is about $14.00 per 50 rounds. If you use a lubricated felt wad between the ball and powder it is like $18.50 per 50 rounds.

I have always had a soft spot in my heart for black powder cap & ball revolvers and have been shooting them off & on since the late 1970's. This model was the first design by Colt that was practical as a belt pistol yet still had satisfactory stopping power. Almost all prior incarnations by Colt were so big and heavy that they were carried in saddle holsters on horses. Wild Bill Hickok, Robert E. Lee, & Doc Holiday, to name a few, carried the Colt 1851 Navy. The gun was so popular that Colt produced it all the way up to 1873. By then cartridge revolvers were common place. They take about 5 minutes to load, smoke like crazy and foul up the gun quickly. Typically I only shoot 25-35 balls before the action is so dirty that the cylinder doesn't want to turn smoothly. They weren't designed to shoot a lot. Many gun fighters like Hickok carried 2 or 3 at a time in waist belts and just switched to the next gun after the first one was empty!

Great news! Welcome back.

Looks good. Looking forward to playing on it.

This appears to be an ongoing issue. Several of us left server 1 and went to server 2 yesterday because of the lag. The day before I was in spectator mode and it looked like a slide show about every 15-30 seconds during 1 map.

OK. I finally got it right after about 3 hours of tearing my hair out. I ultimately had to reinstall COD WAW with a fresh install of PB to make it work. Thanks to everybody for the tips.

There are no COD games in the dropdown menu. I have tried this over & over with the same result. I have even tried running a "Legacy" version of PB that is supposed to have COD on it but I get the same thing. This is ridiculous. Is anyone else having this problem? I don't know what to do next.
