A while back just for yucks I bought a brand new Romanian / Califonianized version of an AK47. Was just semi-auto with a 10 rpund magazine. I got it off one of those gun auctions for just $125usd. I still got it stashed away and it shoots better than my buddy's Russian made AK. It probably only costs $50 to manufacture said AK.
Americans and your guns, fuk me you're all insane (not you, Davis, the others... :)).
If I had a gun, I think I'd get drunk and shoot someone(s); & I'm relatively sane(ish); I just can't see how a gun culture can be of benefit to society. Sorry. I'll get me hat...

Kimbers are just a purdier gun than a Glock (and yes I have a Glock 27). The PIA disasembly is just the charm of a 1911 based firearm.Quote:

I though Britain already was a Muslim nation. I mean you've got Sharia law there now...the native British have fled the shores.Quote:

I agree about the cheap Chinese guns. Don't go near them. I hope I never have to live with one in the house but if I ever do it will be a Glock for sure. Probably a model 21 though as has more stopping power and I have seen a 19 jam although I am sure its not common. If you have to use a gun it's better if all the bad guy's are dead. Their side of the story won't stand up that way.
^^What on earth do you do for a living?
^ don't ask, then Davis won't have to kill you... :)
Begs the question; Why are you carrying? Is personal security in PI or the local you're in that dangerous? Habit? Job requirements? Drug lord?:confused:Quote:

Note that firearm related violence in Switzerland isn't even high enough to chart, while per capita ownership of firearms is higher than perhaps anywhere else on the planet.

But, you can only use factory ball ammo in full auto mode or it double-feeds and jams up.Quote:

Think about this; governments feel a whole lot safer with the general public disarmed. Hence the move to demonize firearms and remove them from law abiding citizens. Then you end up with the situation were only criminals posess firearms and the public no longer has any right to defend themselves.
^Although I haven't lived there for decades, and am out of touch, it seems that the current trend in the US is for more and more States making it easier and easier for their residents to get concealed carry permits. True? Seems like there were only a few, and now are a dozen or so?
^^
I kind of see this as a trend too...but it's not so much a legislative trend, but more of the law enforcement officials are allowing it. For example in California, the law is that the sheriff of the county gets to decide who gets a ccw permit. A few years ago it would be near impossible to obtain, but more and more sheriffs are getting hip to the idea of concealed carry.
I just knew that any type of gun thread would attract all the small dicks like flies around a carcass.

But in some circles, all you have to do is mention guns, and the hatred and "small dick" comments surface.
No hatred Davis, just winding the some of the Cowbores up.
In fact my working life started with guns as during the school holidays a well enumerated job was as a Deer culler.
Deer were regarded as Vermin, Gov paid deer and Rabbit Cullers at, I think 3 Pounds a tail.
So setting off into the forest, getting a couple of deer a day was good well paid work for a couple of weeks at a time.
Only time I got paid for getting tail, been paying for it ever since.
I appreciate the feed back regarding hand guns in Thailand.
Thank You
