Posters, magazine ads, included booklets, seasonal catalogs...whatever has that cool old school print art.GO.
So anyway, I started blastin...
90s had a feel... like those CD graphics PC games that had stored cut scene films.
Motherfucking eco warriors would shit seven colors and acheive flight if they saw this.
Never mind tigers, this is the most dangerous gun ad situation, Woman+beer+gun.
Anyone got some cool old Ruger ads? I got my first real “vintage” gun the other day. Made some time in 1973
Posting a 1960 S&W catalogue

>>65506202
>>65506202That's not as bad. The guy in the illustration looks like he is peering down a sextant. Surely you would be rendered half deaf.
>>65506204
>>65506199Unfortunately the answer to "did people really..." is yes, most of the time and applicable to the silliest shit.Think about how stupid BP gunfights would have been if the first shot didn't work and the two of you are crouched behind shit insulting each other's families while you reload.
>>65506206Wouldn't a self-loading pistol likely jam if you held it like that?
>>65506214That's probably why they went with revolvers here.
>>65506165hi pat

>>65506199>did people really shoot like this in that day and age, or is this the illustrator being a noguns?I can't remember exactly what it's called off of the top of my head but IIRC that crooked-arm stance was basically a weird transitional blip between the bullseye stance that had been a thing for as long as handguns had existed and the point shooting and crouched stance of the early 20th century.

>>65505238Wholesome

>>65510543What is that pose? Was everyone stupid in the past to actually hipfire everything? Sights? what are those
>>65505245Suddenly fascinated with the idea that they had phone based police dispatch in the 20s.
>>65506477Put some respect on my name before I turn your $5 ass out and make change.

>>65506199He is not shooting you idiot. He is literally calling police while aiming at the baddie. Use your brain.
>>65514901Id duel wield those
>>65510543>>65513650Fuck not too far back someone actually found the reference photo for that AD. Yes he really did hold the gun like that.
