A duel should be one shot. You get your shot at me, I get my shot at you, preferably, with my shot in the lead. Walther PDP Full-size 4.5bbl. This gun points on its own. I might look in that direction, but it already knows where to go. A very weird sensation. Be glad it’s only one shot. Subsequent shots with this pistol are the tightest of any handgun I’ve ever shot.

I would prefer to use bladed or blunt force weapons.
Three knock downs or first wound wins. The point was to see whom the fates or gods, or God favors. Not so much the killing of one of the combatants. |

You did say “modern handgun” which unfortunately leaves out The Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch…. Damn. A golden gun from pen, lighter, cigarette case & cuff link in 4.2mm vs Walther PPK, 7,62mm is classic, in some circles. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I would love to duel but only with sabres on both sides. But if it had to be handguns then desert eagles it is. However I believe dueling should legally make a comeback, there would certainly be alot less douchebags left around. I recommend you read the first chapter (or two?) of "Founding Brothers", @flamingdragon . It does a semi-forensic study of the Hamilton/Burr duel. By all accounts, Burr was the bigger Douchebag (the Al Gore of his day, if you will), and yet *because* he was the bigger douchebag, he lived. Most think that Hamilton fired to miss intentionally, and that Burr just decided to kill him. I actually recommend the whole book. It won a Pulitzer, and would have zero chance of doing so today. It's far too accurate re: the Founders (with all of their flaws were still remarkable), and thus would't even make the bestseller lis.t. |

There is a play... it has been kind of a big deal, that portrays the "Hamilton deliberately shot at the sky and missed" story. Of course, it also shows Burr's side of the story, that Hamilton wore his glasses and thus clearly intended to aim precisely. |

I'm tempted to ask you for an example of this stench of anti-American hatred, but I fear from your last bit it may resemble anything akin to not fully supporting Trump. |

The other guy gets to shoot the same thing at you...
I don't want it to be an easy gun to shoot well, and anyone that wants someone on the other side of a duel mag dumping a G18/Skorpion/etc at them is an idiot. They could be dead on their feet and you might catch a bullet. You don't want 2011s with optics that make a good shot great and a bad shot OK. You want something like a original LCP, or NAA mini-revolver that only with a great deal of practice and skill can you shoot accurately. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Traditional rules say the challenged party picks the weapon. I think. Yes, that is in the code duello. Who said dueling isn't legal? What difference does it make? It’s not legal in Texas. Some places we could step outside and beat on each other and the police would overlook it. Given certain circumstances. But shooting pistols at each other would not fly. |
