    Ideal weapons for college students, in class.

    But, as one of the moderators has kindly informed me, and I agree. Airsoft guns are by no means a very useful defensive weapon, and could easily be overcome. A good knife is a more practical weapon. Still, I'd rather have an airsoft gun than a book. I have no intention of starting a...

    Ideal weapons for college students, in class.

    If it's allowed, get a green gas or CO2 semi-auto airsoft handgun and CC that. Just make sure to either mod it to shoot really hot or get a really fast one so that it shoots in the 450+ fps range with .20 g pellets. A few of those in the face is a pretty good argument against aiming a gun at...

    Great Moments in Gun Cleaning

    Ok, this one was definitely not me. This goes back to the early-mid 30s perhaps, and comes from my father as it was told to him by his grandfather. It is the ultimate in stupid mistakes and gun cleaning. Apparently, one of my Dad's uncle's was cleaning a .22 after going rabbit hunting. He...

    looking for a cheap/good side by side or over and under

    Remington imports a nice looking, solid SxS that goes by the name SPR 210/220. I have not shot one in the 200 series, but the 100 series of single shots is delightful for grouse hunting. I would expect the quality of the 200s to be the same. The ejectors on the 100 had no problems, and the...

    I am kinda bummed that I am missing out on the gun buying panic

    I bought a .22 LR Marlin bolty. We have all the guns and ammo we could ever want, but we're hunters so that means basically 3 crates and some leftover boxes of shotgun shells.

    Can a .32 ACP CC gun have enough balls to be a respectable defense gun?

    (oops, I lied) If it's psychopaths on the loose we're talking, I prefer the old .303 Enfield Mark V. It's action is remarkably fast for a bolt and it's a pretty good argument against life for man and beast alike. They used to use that round in machine guns on bomber planes in WWII. For some...

    Can a .32 ACP CC gun have enough balls to be a respectable defense gun?

    Last time I post in this board I promise. But just for the record since I have annoyed the hell out of a few of you I can tell, my standing up for the .22lr and .32 ACP was simple on the basis that they were adequate to stop an assailant or provide an acceptable level of insurance. I do not...

    Can a .32 ACP CC gun have enough balls to be a respectable defense gun?

    RippinSVT, what are you talking about? I have shot .22lr extensively and let me tell you that being hit in the torso with one would not be much fun. A pencil wound? I'll buy that. If the pencil is stainless steel and I stab someone with it as hard as I can then yes. And whoever said...

    I am thinking of buying a Rem 11-87 .....

    Mossber'g stupid site isn't working for me right now, but I am almost certain they make a 20 Ga autoloader. I happen to have a 20 Ga Mossberg 500 (pump action) that I really like. Best of all, they put the safety in the right freaking place.

    Obama asks gun questions on his application for employment.

    I say this is all Dick's fault. Now politicians are afraid other politicians will shoot them. I guess I know one guy that won't be working for Obama:evil::neener:

    Can a .32 ACP CC gun have enough balls to be a respectable defense gun?

    Ok, you guys have got me. I think an AK-74 without a stock is probably the safe choice, but I think I might go get a M79 grenade launcher just to be sure I can immobilize as many assailants as possible as fast as possible. ] :scrutiny::banghead::rolleyes:

    7.62 x 39 mm Bolt Action

    That sounds great actually Krochus. I don't know if I am up for hand loading yet, but 200 yards if sufficient for almost anything around here. If I want long range I would buy a 7mm-08.

    5.56mm is not 223?

    5.56 mm for AKs? Do you mean 5.45 mm Soviet? Why would an AK rifle be chambered for the AR-15 cartridge?
