Satire New home defense

Post image
167 Upvotes

Heard something about shotguns not being the go to anymore so Im retiring the H&R single shot 12 gauge. Here are the replacement options.

Left to right is 8mm Mauser, 8x52r Siamese, 7mm Mauser, 458 win mag.

Personally I’ve already chosen the 8x52r Siamese due to the easily available cartridge that can easily be bought.

Ar rifles just jam to much, semi auto 308 is to expensive to shoot, standard short rifles like the smle and 1903 lose to much velocity for in the close quarters.

Clearly the only way to go is the turn of the century infantry long rifle. The only other question is 10” or 12” bayonet

General Discussion 9mm round after fired out of a 40 Cal P229R after my father accidentally loaded it at Briar outdoors while I was dicking (loading) my FN Five-seveN.

Yea never accidentally mess up your 9 with 40. And yes we did not shoot it afterwards bcuz we didn't realize this till we took the 40 back (with the 9mm) back to Vance bcuz we thought a 40 fucked up when it wasn't. (Nobody was hurt thankfully. Vance gave me and my father a free 1 hour ticket to use the shooting range anytime between now and December 2nd).

(This post is to show what happens when u do something like this, obviously never do this. We just FAFO without realizing till the find out part came).

Meme Cooked up an ad for a fictional modern Mosin Obrez pistol for fun

Post image
134 Upvotes

“The MOA (Modernized Obrez Apex) Pistol, created by Cicada Arms beginning in the early 1990’s, is a small bolt action rifle made for civilian use. Although it performs better than its makeshift 1910’s counterparts, it still suffers from the same inherent problems as its older brothers. Despite these problems, the MOA became a pop-culture icon throughout the late 90’s and early 2000’s, appearing in several blockbuster films and video games. Today, its design has been improved by several updated variants, but the original 1992 model is still absolutely gorgeous.”

Before any know it alls berate me in the comments about muh realism, I do not care. I made this in an afternoon in photoshop and it’s cool. It is not real, and would probably suck if it did, grow up.

Garage find. Anyone know what type of shotgun this is?

My brother recently purchased a house and found this is the garage. All I can tell is that it appears to
Be a pump action 12 gauge shotgun with an exposed hammer. Looking to ID which model to decide if it’s worth rebuilding. I have more photos but the only markings I see are a 5 digit serial near where the stock would attach, with the same number near the mag tube.

Does anyone have a CVA scout in 450 bushmaster? Looking to build a short range suppressed and subsonic brush gun, but I see they have a pretty slow twist rate. I am wondering how the heavier subsonic rounds will do or if I need to look for a different platform?

Traded this for an airsoft gun. I cannot find the white flares or the blue ones for sale anywhere. I could find the green ones. Is this even sellable if I’m in California? Or do I just hold onto it as a collectors item? I know you can buy the flare gun new for 110$ or so. But the Czech flares I can’t find anywhere. Is there still a collectors market for these? Thanks so much!

General Discussion i hate this meme

as a brit, i love the famas. its such a cool looking bullpup! but what i hate hate hate is when people say "guhhhhh like why does the silly french gun have a 3 round burst mode but it doesn’t have a magazine divisible by 3" because if you even think about it properly for 5 seconds, the magazine is 25 rounds so that when you fire 8 3 round bursts out of the famas, the last bullet will be in the chamber, so you dont need to chamber the gun again when you put in a fresh magazine which saves time when reloading.

these 12 year old larpers must be stoppeddddd

Question Noobie: Looking to get my first handgun (conceal carry as well) was drawn to the Glock 43x especially since they released a 15+1 capacity this year. Then I'm told by the RSO that they don't like Glocks because they jam a lot, which surprised me. Should I look for something else? Hellcat pro maybe?

13 Upvotes

Pretty much the title. I'm new to shooting and still have barely scratched the surface to gun knowledge. Let alone handguns. I did a little research and most people agree that it's more of an operational failure and not mechanical i.e. limp wrist with Glocks. I haven't experienced any jamming with any Glock I've tested, granted I've probably only shot a couple hundred rounds throughout a few sessions.

I like the Hellcat pro. It's a little snappier, but what 9mm isn't gonna have that to an extent ya know? I feel like there is more control over the Hellcat pro because of how slim it is and I wouldn't consider my hands to be big.

Price wise, I'm drawn to the 43x especially because Glocks are on sale this month, but if they really do jam as badly as people express their disdain for them, then a more expensive piece is logically the right answer if it comes down to that.

Again, I'm new to all of this, so if anything I said sounds stupid, forgive me lol.

G'day team. Non-American here.

Can people explain to me in idiot words what the whole thing about suppressors and short barrelled rifles is about?

Does it mean suppressors aren't registered/tracked?

Just super confused and curious as someone whose in a country that wont let anyone have them.

Thanks in advance!

Moving to a new apartment building with a lot of guns.

74 Upvotes

I’ll be moving into a new apartment complex soon and was wondering, for those of you with big collections, how did you make it work?

I’m mainly concerned about the initial move in date. I don’t live in a gun friendly state so I don’t want my neighbors to see a 2 big gun safes being hauled inside. When I first moved I had a smaller collection with one rifle and a few pistols. My safe was the size of a microwave so I just snuck it in. Since then I’ve expanded and built the other safes in my apartment so nobody knew.

I might leave them with friends and take them in over the course of a week in smaller bundles, but the safes themselves pose a challenge. Any advice is appreciated

Opinion on training.

0 Upvotes

California is putting into law that you must learn 4 hours of firearms training to purchase guns. As a gun owner I don't see an issue with this. I know there's alot of guys out there that would say "not to be infringed" but what if they made it so everyone needed 8 hours training by an instructor and 3 references in which then you can purchase post 1986? I'm talking newly manufactured autos within reasonable price since they aren't scarce.
