CAT ON THE COUCH!! posted:You guys are going about this all wrong. The solution is to make a tactical bat. Admitedly, getting hit in the face by an aluminium bat covered in rails, lasers and foregrips would hurt quite a bit more than your run of the mill wooden bat.

bulletsponge13 posted:didn't said scandanavian country (Norway, I think) find multiple failures with the 416 in arctic conditions. I know for sure they had problems with soldiers getting kind of dizzy with whatever fumes were produced from shooting the ammo and a gas system that would flow some of the gasses in their faces. Last I heard, they changed the ammo.

bulletsponge13 posted:Recommend me a top break revolver! For .45acp, there's always the option of a shaved cylinder Webley. Don't know what milsurp enthusiasts will think of me for advising you this, but hey... AS for .357, the only top break revolver I know of is the MP412 REX, but it has never been imported to the US, and I have never seen one in europe.

thermobollocks posted:There's one of these at a pawn shop near me for 650. Is that a decent price? I don't know if it comes with a second cylinder, if that's how the caliber conversion operates. It's in decent shape -- clean, and it works. As for how it works, this should answer your questions.

WWhile we are discussing chinese shotguns, what is the consensus about the Stevens ithaca 37 clones ? Not that I could buy one, but I am really intrigued by the chinese arms industry.

I was wondering why shoulder holsters aren't popular anymore. Is OWB/IWB carry that much better or is there some really huge disadvantages in shoulder carry ?

S.T.A.L.K.E.R., far cry 2 and FONV have them. Maybe more games have that mechanic, but I'm only certain about these.

darnzen posted:Isn't that on a normal J-frame? Who would buy that? For MSRP of $774? From what I've read, heard and personally verified, S&W tends to grossly overestimate its MSRPs. They go for around $550 on gunbroker, if it is any indication. Maybe people like them because they have little recoil yet are still "magnum" calibers? Maybe there are people who are just looking for fun guns?

LifeSizePotato posted:All of that brings to mind a question I've always had that maybe you and some other European TFR posters could answer for me. Honestly, yes, I envy you a bit, being able to walk into a gunstore, buy a gun you want and walk out within the same hour is rather cool, but at the same time I like to remain realistic : I wouldn't have the money to buy expensive and cool guns anyway (maybe I could get some milsurp though). Am I happy with my country's gun laws? again, I couldn't care less. I only rent guns to shoot for a few hours like once a year, and I'm bad with paperwork anyway. Ideally I 'd love to be a multi millionaire playboy with both citizenships and a big rear end house in a very gun friendly state where I would invite you people for all kind of NFA fun, but that's not going to happen. (oh yeah, btw : you yanks should fix your import laws to get all those cool 551s and non sporting saigas)

Really, it says right here in what you quoted that it's illegal to possess one? Or is there some fine technical distinction I wasn't aware of between "to own" and "to possess"?

Untagged posted:Any specific or special tips I should know before shooting an H&K pistol? I've shot a Glock for a few years, but never an H&K. Or a similar style gun. I've been told the feeling in the hands and the way the gun is designed is slightly different and can feel "off" at first to people who've never used one. That was followed up by being told it would be better feeling in comparison because of the shape of the grip.

Sii posted:Monday, I intend to purchase a 1911 with a bunch of scratch I've saved up, I'm torn though. The shop has a May sale for a Taurus PT1911 for $450, but I don't know too much about the Taurus brand. I have been trying my best to research the Taurus, but everything I've read thus far has been either blind praise, or complete dismissal without ever firing one. I've read a lot of suggestions that say you should spend the extra cash and go for a Kimber custom II. I hate to sounds like forum old farts who sign their post and jump on people and complain to the moderators to have them banned for asking about something that was answered 7 years ago on page 456 of a completely unrelated thread on an obscure subforum, but : "We already have a 1911 thread. I think you should go there. WitchFetish --------------------------------------- GOD GUNS AND GUTS "These gentlemens are the moral equivalents of America's founding fathers" Ronald Reagan, the best president America ever had. BUCK OFAMA" (seriously though, the ruger 1911 seems to be pretty popular right now)

Also, vz58. Not extremely modern, but can still accept all kind of aftermarket accessories to be more HSLD.

Cyrano, I have a question for you : I kind of understood you have a raging hard-on for mauser actions, and I was wondering what is, in your opinion, the best military issued mauser action rifle from either WW1 or WW2 (or both).
