Hey,

I watch that show every Tuesday,,,,,, actually if ya look close they had 2 Mosin 91/30s, although they were only shooting one of them, but when they were walking up to his (CASTLE) two girls ( nice looking by the way) were carrying the Mosins,,,and a SKS,, they also had a single barrel shotgun and an AK,, looked like a WSAR

I never saw the show, spend most of my time on the Military channel.

My youngest daughter and I watch it. NatGeo seems to try to portray most of the preppers as whack jobs. They have the preppers state one potential disaster they're preparing for, then, at the end, the "experts" state how slim the odds are of that disaster happening. Not sure why anyone would spend 10's or 100's of thousands of dollars prepping, then tell the world what they've done. The main point to me is that it gets you thinking about the "what if" scenario and how well or not you're prepared. In other words, JYD: you've missed nothing!

Holy cow...I watched the show, and didn't even notice. Of course, at the time I was listening more than watching because I was busy reading and posting here. How's that for irony...

I've been watching Lost with my girlfriend (she's a big fan) and in Season 3, one of the Others has a Mosin Nagant 91/30. It's neat seeing the characters carry it. However when the Other Mikail shoots Sayid in the arm, Sayid acts like it's nothing. I feel a 7.62x54r in the arm would hurt alot and the bullet would go all the way through. The episode has Mikail, an ex Soviet field medic, pull the bullet out of Sayid's arm.

I have a friend who is a Viet Nam vet, he was a sniper and is for his current SWAT team the shot from the Mosin would have passed through the arm but as he states..." the ballistics of the 7.62X54R round cause it to tumble immediately after initial impact with bone causing a lot of damage." This is why he chooses to carry his 91/30 as a back up to his dept issued Remington 70. So needless to say they would not have been pulling the bullet out of Say id's arm and he'd never have full use of the arm after. If you are to believe the ballistics knowledge of an old sniper and not Hollywood.

That's what I figured with the ballistics of the 7.62x54r round. Even if it doesn't kill you or cause you to bleed out, it will still cause some serious long term damage. However most gun stuff goes out of the window along with physics with Hollywood. But Lost is special since the Island is special, considering the place has mystic powers or something.

After watching that episode, I took my girlfriend shooting and showed her how powerful the rifle really is. She didn't want to shoot it because of the noise. She wanted to stick with the .22lrs. Don't blame her since she's still new to guns. At least she supports my hobby and interests and even got me a recoil pad for Christmas.

Sounds like she got HERself a recoil pad for christmas...

If SHTF, I'm not sure I'd carry a mosin....especially if I have to go mobile.

But if need be, I'd take my m44

But that's a topic for a different board.

A Mosin full of Cosmo is perfect for burying in the yard.
