lol @ illegal guns. those look like .22LRs and .223, small caliber rifles good for small game/varmit and smaller. great for target shooting as well. there is nothing illegal about them and they are no more dangerous than their tradition hunting style rifles. get off the "scary gun" bandwagon; it's just plain dumb and the same shit over and over again (those are military style guns! OMG, guess what, almost every gun stems from a military firearm! bolt actions were scoffed at; semi-autos were scoffed at; and the list goes on). 4/7/2010 6:10:00 AM |

I have a 9mm. Anyone who fears inanimate objects has major issues.
The only gun control I believe in is using two hands.

God I can't stand that attitude. What about any of those guns makes them appear illegal to you? The fact that they're black? The fact that they have a scope? I mean wtf?
The way a gun looks does NOT, I repeat, does NOT indicate its legality. All of the guns you photographed use technology that is well over 100 years old. They are semi-automatic firearms. In fact, most of them aren't even good for close up work besides the 9mm AR pistol you photographed at the bottom and even that isn't all that great for it because it's difficult to shoot accurately. You'd think you might have a little more sense, but I guess not.
Also note that the first gun you show is a ranch rifle fitted with an aftermarket ATI stock. PLEASE watch this video to see what I'm saying if you don't understand:
The second half of the video (Go to 6:00) is particularly what I want you to see. He takes what you would think of as a hunting rifle (Essentially the exact same rifle as the first one you photographed actually), switches out the stock and then it looks like what you'd call "illegal".]4/7/2010 9:21:58 AM |

I'll hopefully be getting a shotgun this summer since I'm most likely living by myself this coming year 4/7/2010 9:34:32 AM |
SaabTurbo All American 25459 Posts user info edit post |
YAY!!!!!
That is a great choice samwise, as long as you know how to shoot them and are aware of the recoil (ie - if you haven't tried one yet, try it because 12 gauge shotguns can be brutal in terms of recoil and some people have trouble with them). Depending upon what kind of capabilities you want you might be stuck with a 12ga, HOWEVER, I would suggest a 20ga for people of smaller stature. You have half the recoil and muzzle blast but 2/3 the power and trust me, at close range a 20ga buckshot load will still be fatal.
Again, 20 gauge is no joke. This is a 20 gauge buckshot load fired into ballistics gelatin from about 10 feet.

^^ Check the picture I just posted of the 20ga action son, cause I put it up after you posted. Either way, 12ga or 20ga, if you score a direct hit at close range they're done.
I'm so excited for you! I recommend the Mossberg 500 series of shotgun for reasons of ergonomics. I own a 9-shot Mossberg 590 with ghost ring sights (It's a bit big for your intended use though, I'd go for an 18" barrel Mossberg 500 in 20ga).

SaabTurbo All American 25459 Posts user info edit post |
I've never been a huge fan of H&K pistols. Now, I'm not saying they suck, because they don't. But they're rather expensive (I think a lot of what you're buying is the name personally), more complex than Glocks and have an unusual battery of arms. The mag release really bothers me, I don't like guns that make big changes in the way something is done because it can confuse you if you use a different gun for some reason or if you're used to a different gun and you switch over to an H&K.
The thing I love about Glock is that nobody has really managed to beat their original design to this day. A few have been able to essentially match it, but even then they don't have the 20+ year track record that a 9mm Glock does.
The advantages to a Glock:
- Low weight (You'll be hard pressed to find a single competitor of the same size and capacity that beats a Glocks weight while offering good reliability and performance) - Extreme reliability - Excellent track record - Extremely simple battery of arms - Excellent pricing for what you're getting - Solid accuracy - Wide range of factory sighting options - Excellent aftermarket - Extensive availability of 33rd factory magazines (9mm) - Availability of +2 baseplates, which gives 19+1rd capacity in the Glock 17. - Excellent trigger considering it's not DA/SA, particularly with Glock 34 connector. Also, it's consistent because it's not DA/SA. - Small sizes offered (The Glock subcompacts are unmatched in terms of size for their magazine capacity and are pretty much just as accurate and definitely just as reliable as the full sized versions), magazines are interchangeable from larger to smaller frames within a given caliber (Exception - Glock 36). - The only truly stout, highly reliable 10mm Auto Pistols on the market IMO.
Yes, other guns do well at other things, but almost none combine all of the characteristics of a good Glock. Sigs are great and have better triggers, but they're significantly heavier and a bit bulkier than Glocks. The S&W M&P is a pretty good alternative with better ergonomics, but they still don't have the solid track record of Glock and no subcompact variants are offered. The XD is decent, but a LOT bulkier than a Glock. The subcompacts are downright massive compared to a subcompact Glock. ] 4/7/2010 12:33:07 PM |
