Wallop VS Authority. What’s the difference?

[displacedtexan]

I think y'all are overlooking how my a magnum belt and walnut stock impact both.

If bullet weight and velocity are the same, a 300 magnum will have more wollop than a little ole 06

And if you fire it out of a walnut stocked rifle, it has more authority.

All a sliding scale, graded on a curve.

See all his guns have authority.

He once hit a guy in the toe with his 1911 at 250yds but that big 45 caliber has so much wallop the poor VC never stood a chance

Wallop is what big guns do to north american game

Authority is what big guns do to african game. It's a verb.

I like to picture my wallop wearing a t-shirt tuxedo and singing lead at a Lynard Skynard concert

Authority is when Spomer speaks to educate the common hunter.
Wallop is when Spomer's big bore magnum hits his quarry, like a Jackalope for example.

In an effort to be inclusive and open to "other ways of knowing", we should be honest about the language being used and how it is hurtful:
"Authority" implies a patriarchal "power over" dynamic that is hurtful to those not so empowered.
"Wallop" implies violence and as we know all violence is bad.
Therefore, it should be amended to the following inclusive language: Authority is now "Bumfuzzle" and Wallop is "Sparkleshine".

In a sentence (as used by a 20 year old currently)- "Hey Brah. Your pew-pew has some serious bumfuzzle and it sure hugs those deer with some sparkleshine downrange."

There. Now we can all get along.

This is probably my favorite thread since the AVB BOAL thread

I would love if some writer started penning articles about .243 or .25 bore calibers and talked about how the round hits with “authority” or the “wallop” it packs it would scramble a lot of fuddlore out the gate
