Ayup. That's exactly what I meant about getting the furniture for my 10/22. It'd be the same gun - America's favorite semi-auto .22LR rifle - dressed in a different style of furniture to look a lot like an M-16. But its function and ammo hasn't changed in the slightest - only how it looks.
I thought Germany had some restrictions on firearm use, no? BTW I very much do enjoy HKs.
It has intense restrictions, wish it was as liberal as in Texas. But if you can confirm and prove a valid point and reason why you own a gun, you can buy and register it.I thought Germany had some restrictions on firearm use, no? BTW I very much do enjoy HKs.
No no no... dammit! It was made for WAR and therefore it's an ASSAULT RIFLE! I want my rifle to be a bona fide intended-to-kill-the-krauts-and-japs ASSAULT RIFLE! ??Only if it's select fire. A "Main Battle Rifle" it ABSOLUTELY is. And among the finest of its breed, with a long and honorable record. An "Assault Rifle", not so much. Leastwise, not the way I ever understood the definition of "Assault Rifle", which specifies select fire, where the M1 is a semi-auto only rifle, and "generally uses smaller calibre ammunition than a main battle rifle". No slur on the .30 cal intended. It's a fine round, and you'll never hear me put it down. But it's a skosh large to fit the definition of "Assault Rifle" I'm familiar with.
Assault weapons also have the pistol grip and that shoulder thing that goes up to help maximize killing speed and power, doncha know...
Of course, "Assault RIfle" is not to be confused with "Assault Weapon" or "Assault Style Weapon", which anyone qualified to have an opinion on the subject understands is a crock of media-political-babble shit made up and hyped to help scare the sheeple* into compliance.
* For the record, I detest Rush Limbaugh, and I disagree with damn near everything else I've ever heard him say, but he DID coin a very accurate term, so I gotta give him credit for it.
Yup - AR-10 is essentially an AR-15 chambered in .308 = 7.62 instead of .223/5.56, and configured for select fire vs. the AR-15's semi-auto only. Lot bigger round, with correspondingly bigger difficulty to control in auto mode.
But, but... the M1 didn't have that evil pistol grip unlike the M2! LOL
I confused it with the M2. ?
I think they might have combined the two later on, I have always loved the M1 carbine personality.
Same here. I hear that back in the day there were surplus M1s were sold to the general public.
Is that the M3 Infrared rifle? Ah yes the nightwatch
Yes it is, looks heavy and kinda pointless with the limited range of .30 carbine round in my opinion.
All the people shot in the dark want a word with you
Consider archery and weapon throwing as alternatives?
I'd rather be a mile away from the target personal but I'm sure the M3 served it's purpose.
Why even carrying a gun in the first line?
Owning firearms doesn't mean you have to carry one.
Why even owning a gun in the first line?
Several reasons - self defense, sport shooting, hunting... But that's a decision that can only be made by the potential owner. And I do have to say that it is indeed a responsibility to own them - that's also up to the potential owner to decide if they also want that responsibility. I am in the US, and despite the high prevalence of guns here, not every adult owns firearms - as I've said earlier, we have the privilege of being able to possess them, but that doesn't obligate anyone to get them either.
Water is a human right. But a weapon? And whats with me am i living without my human rights?
You mean in th USA right?
Yes right. But for the daily life they are pretty useless. Unless your job tolds you so.
Technically a crossbow would be enough for deer hunting, but yes take this if you wanna invade walmart as soldier.
