It needs an AR lower, which is a firearm, whereas a crossbow on its own isn't. I don't know why you'd bother.
[QUOTE=Glitch360;27879166]Anyone here own a Benelli Supernova? I'd like to know your experiences with it, if it's worth getting, costs, etc[/QUOTE] Yep. I love it. Simply and bluntly put. It's worth it.
[QUOTE=HkSniper;27888660]Yep. I love it. Simply and bluntly put. It's worth it.[/QUOTE]I've shot it before, it feels nice to shoot. I might be getting one of those, instead of a rifle...
[QUOTE=Gubbinz96;27876986]That's a really good price for CCI ammo.[/QUOTE] I got a 525 round brick of the same stuff for $14 bucks at a gun show last week. $26 is not a good deal.
[QUOTE=Ridge;27886892]I bought a reloading kit for .223 and 9mm last year from MidwayUSA when it was on sale...~$150 of my tax return. It's pretty cool. My first 9mm reloads I shot a few weeks ago, went without a hitch...need to work on my .223 crimping, though. [img_thumb]http://i.imgur.com/yce5Y.jpg[/img_thumb][/QUOTE] You wont be able to crimp any .223 heads unless they have that indent thing...
[QUOTE=DrMortician;27875180]Glocks have less perceived recoil than a "heavier gun."[/QUOTE] In my experience, this does not hold true for larger calibres. 9mm maybe (I haven't shot a 9mm Glock yet), but above that? It absolutely does make a difference. As a side note to the people advocating the "improvement" of milsurp: if it's rare, you're fucking everybody (especially yourself). If it's not, you're fucking yourself. If you want to make yourself a DEER RAHFUL or INNAWOODS GUN, buy some cheap modern rifle, don't take a fucking milsurp rifle and devalue it (not to mention do [I]nothing[/I] to improve its functionality or looks) by hanging dumb shit off of it. Beater infantry rifles might be cheap now, but you are absolutely fucking retarded if you think you're ever going to turn a profit by fucking with milsurp. You're dumber still if you think putting any kind of optics or 'ergonomical' furniture on a mass-produced military rifle which will shoot maybe 2-4 MOA at best is a good idea. If you want to stick optics on there for laughs, feel free to use a no-gunsmithing mount, since then you can at least take it off and stick it on something where it's actually useful.
[QUOTE=SBD;27888652]It's useless though. It needs an AR lower, which is a firearm, whereas a crossbow on its own isn't. I don't know why you'd bother.[/QUOTE] It'd be neat if it wasn't $1.2k.

[QUOTE=NeckOfRedness;27887164]The collection - my dads - was sold away because I couldn't legally have it, nor could anyone else in the household. We ha one of those law typse say that if we dont get them to a legal owner in like 2 weeks, they would be revoked. So, I sold some to a gun broker, some to a pawn shop. That money, along with money he left me anyway, brought me up to 100k. To be honest, though, half is going to a house. It was quite the collection: alot of older stuff, WW1 and WW2 I believe. I know he had a Springfield, a Garand and a decommissioned m60. Had all of its guts torn out, so it was just a show piece and worth notso much apparently. All the working reel steels where only semis at most. Some where fakes, though. As I said, where can I get licenses and such so I can own more exotic firearms? What restrictions are there if I do buy one, such. I wanna buy back a similar collection. [editline]6th February 2011[/editline] US, Texas.[/QUOTE] I find your story very hard to believe because you say you live in Texas but you had to sell most of the guns because you didn't have the license for them, and then you say they were mostly semi-auto so I am very doubtful of you right now. I'm pretty sure the gun laws in Texas arn't like that.
Hrm, is the Savage 110 in .30-06 any good? My Dad has one I've been meaning to shoot, and I'm wondering if I should even bother, but if Savage is good that sounds good as well. Bolt felt pretty smooth when he showed it to me, too.
.30-06 is a manly round. It's what we used to kill commies and fascists for 2 decades!

The thirty-aught-six and the .308 are two of the most versatile and reliable cartridges available. NATO has been using the .308 (7.62×51) for years and even though the 30.06 was before that it's still widely used today.

[QUOTE=Lufttygger306;27879458]Polymer, not plastic![/QUOTE] same thing

[QUOTE=massn7;27882646].45 9mm is a fine round and all but I wouldn't trust it in all situations; as far as +P+ goes, I've never tried it so I couldn't really comment on it without probably making a fool of myself[/QUOTE] There is literally nothing wrong with 9mm and I am getting really sick of telling people this. The whole '9mm won't save you' thing is a load of absolute tripe with no grounding in anything. Take it from me, I used to believe that myself when I was young(er) and stupid(er). Taking +P+ into account just makes this even more apparent. There are a lot of decent 9mm defensive loads around and they will do every bit as much damage as .45 ACP ball ammo will. The 9mm has the added bonus of more controllability (although .45 is hardly a wristbreaker), typically larger capacity, and it's also [I]cheaper[/I]. By all means pick what feels best to you, but passing up 9mm because some idiot said 'EUROPELLETS DONT KILL SHIT' a long time ago and a load more idiots believed that is a terrible mistake. I'm pretty sure that if your shot placement is halfway decent, someone isn't going to tell you that 9mm is worthless when they're dead. [editline]7th February 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=Penis Colada;27903497]same thing[/QUOTE] Don't be such a prude Gabe, polymer's not that bad. Granted I pissed and moaned about it earlier in the thread, but that's because some genius decided to make the entire FCG of a military weapon out of it; when it's just a polymer frame on a pistol (especially a quality one like a Glock, USP, or FNP), it is absolutely fine. The reason polymer has a reputation is because of stupid design decisions on military weapons when the concept of polymer being used for stress-bearing parts was still new, and also shitty manufacturers that don't know how to do it properly. Given that all the actual working parts are still metal in polymer-frame handguns (or as far as I know anyway), there's really not much to worry about. I still maintain that making the Steyr's FCG out of polymer was a fucking gigantic mistake. The furniture and mag, fine, but not the fucking FCG. That shit [I]does[/I] wear down, and it's something you really don't want malfunctioning when your life depends on it. On the other hand, the use of polymers elsewhere in the design is great because it keeps weight down without too much of a strength hit - you can still smack people upside the head with it just fine.
Whats with people putting pens in their trigger guards. Don't fucking play around with guns, they aren't toys that you can wantonly stick pens in.
[QUOTE=Uberman77883;27906078]Whats with people putting pens in their trigger guards. Don't fucking play around with guns, they aren't toys that you can wantonly stick pens in.[/QUOTE] I mostly did it to piss you off. If it makes you feel better, the gun was unloaded with the safety on and has a 12lb double action trigger pull that a pen is incapable of pulling itself. It is currently locked in my safe and myself and my family are all doing fine. It's obvious you are trolling and don't own a gun.
Ah yes but I am buying a gun right now.
[QUOTE=Uberman77883;27906449]Ah yes but I am buying a gun right now.[/QUOTE] Pics or it didn't happen.
[QUOTE=Uberman77883;27906449]Ah yes but I am buying a gun right now.[/QUOTE] I hope for the safety of you and your family. [editline]7th February 2011[/editline] Never mind that, just the safety of your family.
