Newbie, newb, noob, or n00b is a slang term for a novice or newcomer, or somebody inexperienced in a profession or activity. Contemporary use can particularly refer to a beginner or new user of computers, often concerning Internet activity, such as online gaming or Linux use. Depending on the context and spelling variant used, the term can have derogatory connotations (and be used as a term of abuse in internet-based games)—but is also often used for descriptive purposes only, without any value judgment.
The origin of this term is uncertain. Earliest uses probably date to late twentieth century United States Armed Forces jargon, though possible precursor terms are much earlier. Variant forms of the noun include newby and newbee, while the related term noob (often stylized as "n00b") is often used in online gaming.
There is a surge in firearms and ammunition purchases in the past few months. I am personally seeing friends and acquaintances acquire a firearm, and I am helping them with suggestions on a first purchase, ammunition purchases, training, being responsible, and more.
What about you? I've added...
I'm interested in suppressors and just have some basic questions mostly about legality. I'm not a new shooter but I know very little about suppressors and have never used one myself.
I recall going into Threat Dynamics (Sherwood, OR) and seeing pistols for sale that already had built in...
I'm brand new to handguns with only limited firearm experience bird hunting with pump shotguns as a teen. My wife and I decided it was time to take action and exercise our 2A rights. We are in the process of basic firearm safety and handling training and then shooting training to be followed...
I'm getting ready to start reloading and I'm going to buy equipment in stages. I'm not sure if I should get a tumbler first and clean the brass or if I should get a press and a decapping die and remove the primers first, before I tumble.
What would you all recommend?
Alright as the title suggests, my personal knowledge on the 1911 platform is very little but I'm starting to get itchy and want one.
There's a few requirements I have and I'm hoping the hive mind here at NWF's can help expand my already limited knowledge :)
Requirements:
- Has to be .45 ACP

Hello, I just stumbled across this forum and it looks interesting so I just signed up
I'm from Philadelphia PA and and I recently started my own firearms related business and also I'm in the process of expanding into Hydrodipping. I had my own Painting business for over 20 years and all that...
I just picked up a new trailer this past Friday and almost overwhelmed as to the “right” equipment to get for it. Like for instance, do all “stinky slinkies” have the same hookups/standard fittings? Also, preferred brand/type of hose for portable water and does solar really work? I’m sure I...
So moved to Oregon a year and a half ago and promptly got my concealed carry permit. Carried for 10 years when I worked for the railroad in the 70s/80s but not since then. So my brother-in-law sold me an old S&W snubnose that I've been carrying now. It's an Airweight that he 'bobbed' the hammer...

Hi there,
I'm a relatively experienced shooter, perhaps a journeyman however I'm a relatively new gun owner. I've learned the hard way to not jump on piece just cause the price is right and I've scratched up a few receivers trying to fix jammed guns without gun smith tools.
Being from...
