Please tell me the original stock is stored safely, ready to be reassembled on the gun if Bubba suddenly grows a brain. If not, [highlight]BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD![/highlight]
I can't say I am not guilty of putting a red dot on a gun, I prefer iron sights but my Ithaca 12 gauge has a red dot. BUT! I have it on there for a good reason. Out at camp when a grizzly is chasing you down you do not want to line up a sight. Especially with the laws against hunting brown bears, if you hit it in the lower back or ass you can get in trouble for that. But don't worry I have another shotgun that I use for hunting and skeet shooting :)

It's the fact that IT'S A FUCKING RED DOT ON A FUCKING M1 GARAND.
[QUOTE=capgun;33215637]It's not the fact that itsa red dot on a gun. Thats fine. It's the fact that IT'S A FUCKING RED DOT ON A FUCKING M1 GARAND.[/QUOTE] Yeah and i don't even see a reason for a red dot on an M1, the sights on them are easy and fast to line up. It is almost a mini red dot.
To be honest if you buy a gun you can do whatever you damn please with it.
[QUOTE=koekje4life V2;33217499]To be honest if you buy a gun you can do whatever you damn please with it.[/QUOTE] Of course, but don't go to a range or club not expecting your tricked out gun to raise a few eyebrows.

So my local (not really it's 2 hours away but still the closest) gun shop has a couple Five-seveN's in stock and I really want one but expensive gun + really expensive proprietary ammo = very, very expensive and I don't have any money.
Go buy a .22 rifle.
[QUOTE=Lone_Star94;33226833]Go buy a .22 rifle.[/QUOTE] Well, I just bought a 91/30 so I really shouldn't get another gun already, but when I went to get the Nugget, I saw that 5-7 and I fell in love with it. Going back to pick the Nugget up Saturday so I will have pictures then.
"Citizen version" of 5-7 is just an expensive .22lr, Don't buy it for target shootting, Nor for self-defence. For a regular Joe such weapons are only good for collecting, and collecting is not for the poor.

Going to pick up my Nugget, aw yeah.
Took my brand new Glock 19 to the range yesterday and put 150 rounds through it! [img]http://img805.imageshack.us/img805/1396/range1.jpg[/img] [img]http://img690.imageshack.us/img690/4851/img0416ei.jpg[/img]
I just started work at a new outdoors store near here today. I work hunting, but because the store isn't open yet I spent all day in camping. I spent all day tying up straps on camping bags with elastic bands... They haven't got any of the guns in yet, probably won't for a while.
[QUOTE=Gubbinz96;33247852]22lr? Nope. It's got more in common with a 22 magnum AT LEAST.[/QUOTE] Okay yeah you're right but nevertheless the gun was designed for the use of special forces. the FN developed the caliber to allow elite light infantry carry more rounds with lesser weight, And to compensate the loss in size they made the rounds armour penetrating. Even though the bullet has a little exta weight(for being armour piercing), it still has properties of a small round. This is extremely good for elite light infantry in CQB, As they're generally trained to shoot to the head. Small rounds tend to bounce around and penetrate brain matter from many angles when shot into a cranium, Unlike big and heavy rounds which tend to just push through, ripping everything that's in front of it -Yeah it'll make a messy but the guy you just shot might start twitching and go zombie, because all you did was just a crude scalping. 5-7 is a beautiful and effective gun, But to unlock the full potential you need to put A LOT of rounds down the range and be good at it, And not just down the range but also into moving craniums. Otherwise it's just another pea shootter. imho it's just not practical for self-defence purposes of a regular joe. In self-defence situation you shoot to save your or someone elses life as the last resort, it's never a planned situation(SHOULDN'T be, Some people seem like they wait and plan it like xmas). In war you shoot to kill, Straight forward and planned.

It's like riding the tailgate of a big truck, if your car is small enough you can actually let off the gas and the turbulence behind the trailer will pull you. This is also why they put small gas generators on some artillery rounds, because it fills that vacuum space and decreases drag. While a small round is more likely to bounce around, a .44 magnum, for example, will suck out your fucking brain through a two inch hole. I consider that an adequate incapacitating shot, myself, but to each his own.
So I'm looking for FP's opinion on something; I have a bit of cash together, and I'm looking at old Russian guns. I had it all planned out initially, and I was going to get an SVT-40, no second thoughts, and the Nagant Revolver last, because the ammo is uncommon and I wouldn't be able to shoot it. I didn't think the ammo for it would come in stock for a while, but today I see a company has some, finally, and for only $35/50. Now, for the same price as just the SVT-40 gun, I could get a Nagant Revolver and 100 rounds, but the ammo for it is uncommon, more expensive, and it's not usually available. I'd be getting it as a mostly collector's piece, but an SVT would be something I'd have for plinking and, eventually, possibly also hunting. I'd probably have more fun with the SVT because I could get the ammo more readily, easily, and cheaply, but if I wait, not only could the Nagant Revolver go out of stock, but its ammo could too. Which would you guys get, the SVT, or the Nagant Revolver? Or should I just buy the ammo while it's here and sit on it for a while?

There's better revolvers, for one, and they have ammunition that's actually sold anywhere you go for two. The SVT-40 has really dirt cheap and common ammunition, it's an awesome rifle and it actually has a potential use.

You got to hit the "grey goo" to ensure a "humane" kill. Where a .44 just scalps a .22 goes in and changes its direction, In terms of the kill area a .22 has a bigger killing surface. But a big round is definetly better for self-defence. Big and small rounds both definetly have their own pros and cons, Rated informative.

Tumbling rounds you say? [IMG]http://img46.imageshack.us/img46/4125/dsc0047sg.jpg[/IMG]
I know very little about guns, but... How can a round even tumble? Wouldn't that require some serious imperfections in the bullet?
Or the bullet is the wrong size, the barrel is the wrong size, the bullet leaves the barrel spinning too slowly, or, in the case of a friend, the copper jacket breaks off in the barrel and the bullet leaves at an odd angle.
