Guns

he should be good, if his target is a 10x10 brick wall

I've got squirrel problems...the Barrett M107 takes care of them quite nicely!

And I don't give a fuck about the Geneva Convention anymore, I hung up my uniform a few years back and am now a contractor.

Better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it.

Incidentally, our murder rate hereabouts is well under 5.0/100,000, excepting nearby Pittsburgh, which has a burgeoning Drug Market. It's not the Drugs, it's the kiddies fighting over turf and debt. You cannot settle either one in Courts so they get physical about it.

IF guns "cause crime" than how come our heavily armed regions here have on average less crime than Chicago (murder capital of the US) which bans "assault weapons" and has frozen registry of handguns?

I think guns cause crime like shit causes flies.

Congrats, that's a "Other Weapon" firearm, if the barrel is under 18 inches. In other words if it's not on the Registry you're gonna have some 'splaining to do.

Obama has his hands full with the economy to worry at this present time with firearms. At most we might see "gun show loophole" closures, which will essentially ban private transfers in the US.

CCWs? Twenty years ago most States were not CCW friendly. I think over forty today have some form of CCW. I cannot imagine the Democrats being stupid enough to piss off the "right" by taking away their licenses to carry (but not to shoot).

Heck, CCWs are fantastic gun registry data. You know who has a gun by going over these lists, plus it's voluntary compliance.

Gun nuts are safe at least until the first terrorist attack or Mall shooting comes along. Personally I think that Democrats remember 1994. They also gained control of the Congress by electing "Blue Dog" Democrats who are pretty Conservative. They won't want to lose control by enticing the NRA to call them "gun grabbers".

McCain supported the "gun show loophole closure" and said he'd sign a bill to ban "ugly guns" (aka Assault weapons). So it's not that much different.

BTW, if you were so worried about guns why did you vote for Obama? Don't you research candidates before you vote?

Yeah, but you can damage "materiel", including their uniforms, gear and whatnot.

Some people want the most powerful thing of an item, like buying a Lamborghini Countache or some other crazy fast car that can go two or three times your local speed limits or a high speed motorbike that can go about as fast.

The practical uses of such a rifle are extreme long range shooting, up to and over one mile away.

The limitations of such a rifle are its extreme costs, especially for semi automatic models (well over $2,000 US), heavy weight (well over ten pounds) and muzzle blast (which will remove your hat if you're not careful). The cost per shot is also excessive, well over $1.00 US per round.

You're not going to see someone robbing the Corner Five and Dime with one of these things. They are very very large firearms.

What is disconcerting is the prospect of sniper attacks. They're not used for this purpose, at least in the US. I've read rumors that the Secret Service has been requesting some sort of regulation on these firearms for security reasons.

One wonders when the requests will extend to long range target rifles, which can deliver accurate shots out to a mile? This is the primary reason for resistance to regulating these firearms in the US. You bend on one firearm and next year the Activists want "more", gotta keep that Cause going.

While I am morally against all forms of weapons designed to kill, I do find it reassuring to know that the US is probably the only country that cannot be defeated by invasion: since every citizen has the right to their own arsenal, an invading army would have one hell of a fight from all the citizenry!

I'm guessing because the criminals will always have guns and regular, law-abiding civilians are left largely unable to fight back.


PK... =)...lol..maybe it IS too cold...who knows...

Don't beleive everything you read in email. I really don't think violent crime has gone up 44% here in Australia, do you have any stats to back that up?

It was an innocent question that started this...... or was it? Black Yaris you might have sounded innocent in the beginning but you knew that asking this question was like lighting a fuse or upsetting a keystone.

It has dragged our Canadian neighbors in, the Austalians...... LOL.

Back to your original question ....nice revolver..... now that things have advanced in the thread..... you might want to trade that revolver in for a Vulcan Gattling gun system when properly mounted will not transfer any recoil to the shooter.


BTW the Vulcan fires at 100 rounds per second

No..it was an email that rattled off statistics from a few countries that have prevented citizens from carrying guns...that's why I asked. I know you can't believe MOST of the information that's past around.

No, the Hawg has a GAU-8 30mm Gatling gun, the Vulcan is "only" 20mm.

The GAU-8 is awesome firepower, but it is the size of a Volkwagen Beetle...



Cheers! M2

[Bob_VT]

Yup and the Vulcan is 20MM but the 30MM used in the A-10's are most effective with depleted uranium ammo for better penetration on a hard target......

Nice! I have a LaserMax in my XD45, one of the first ones made. Some people don't like them, but mine has been great!


Shorty Mossberg 12 gauge

You have a Serbu Shorty? Sweet! I have a Mossy Persuader with a pistol grip for HD, with a 120-lumn SureFire 6P mounted on it plus a laser designator. I keep it loaded with 3" 00-buckshot Magnum shells, with some slugs on the side; so it is a real blunderbuss

Romainian AKM, and a Bear Arms Baikal IJ-70 (Makarov) Pistol. I like old Com block weapons.

Another ignorant Canadian, no surprise.


How about you head down to the range during one of the open days and see a .50 in action. If you think it'll be anything like in the movies, you'll be sorely disappointed. It'll leave a slightly bigger hole as opposed to say a .308, a bit more recoil on the user, and that's about it.


Mad Dog:

Check out your government statistics. Ignore the BS sugar-coating. You are living in one of the most violent G12 countries in the world.
