Basically the RED means NO and the status quo is maintained. GREEN IS BAD and meand more laws and less guns.

OK, after the school shooting yesterday, all the major news papers have started talking about the gun laws... The biggest one has a poll: http://www.hs.fi/paivankysymys/ Hit it, please. Link left cold on purpose. The question is: Should private ownership of firearms be banned? Vote "EI" which...

"8balls, then I guess you'd know better about the TAK. I stand corrected. I've seen IIRC three different optics on the TAK-85s I've had the opportunity with. What are your experiences?" There are two possible optics: 1: Smith&Bender 4xsomething The crappier scope, I really did not like...

TAK comes from "tarkka-ampujan kivääri". Sorry, If I remember correct, it comes from the word "Tarkkuuskivääri" which means accurized rifle. Tarkka-ampujan kivääri means sniper rifle. :neener: http://www.mil.fi/maavoimat/kalustoesittely/index.dsp?level=64 BTW, I was issued TAK85 when...

"After Finland surrendered to Russia they started using alot of Soviet rifles. The Finnish Mosins for example are considered the finest of the lot and most accurate and were used against the Russians with great effect. After WW2 Finland and Russian relations were actually not that bad, so they...

>Naturally, they asked what I had been issued in the past. Not much, of >course. Just a plain M16, M240, M249, M249 Para, M2, M82A1, G36, SC- >70/90, Bofors AK5, Rk.95 , some handbuilt Sako sniper rifle (maybe some >kinda of whacked out Mosin?), Steyr AUG, MG3 and this piece of junk called >the...

Ill check whats missing... AK: Not everyone learns how to ride a bike or play the piano, but everyone can use AK to kill imperialists. AR: Targets usually dont know how to play a piano or ride a bike M-N: Too bad dinosaurs are extinct. And new ones: AK: The switch prevents things...

Ok, thanks, saved from doing a lot of translating... :) btw, what was the thread name? Just point me to right direction...

AK: You can use a cheap shoe lace as a sling. AR: Tactical 9-point adjustable aramid fiber sling system. M-N: You can use the sling to tow a T-34 tank, if necessary. AK: You can cut barb wire with the bayonet AR: You can open sausage pack with the bayonet. M-N: Longer than those to...

Have you ever wondered which is the ultimate battlerifle, AR or AK? I found this piece from Finnish board, written by Max Penalty. Here is the final answer: (Translated by me, sorry for typos) AK: If regular cleaning is neglected, I wont compromise the weapons functionality. AR: Requires a...

Niinpä, mutta pääkaupunkiseudulla on hiukan karumpi meininki...:scrutiny:

Specifically, does one need an export permit for brass cartridge cases? I'd say they are considered as (inert) pieces of metal. If you buy rounds/primers/powder, you need a permit. Brass and bullets are just pieces of metal, but (evil) hollow-point bullets are classified as ERVA and you need...

UPDATE: The sounds were a combination of home made "fireworks", loud rap "music" and lots and lots of alcohol. The cops came and shut down the party. (Heard from the person who arranged the party.) I could have sworn it at least squad vs squad, but...:rolleyes:

I am about to clubbing, sitting here, reading thr. The bus should leave 20 mins. Hmm, thunder? Nope, it 25 below zero, plenty of snow. I opened the window and started listening. I've been in the army, and this really sounded like at least a squad vs squad gunfight (plenty of semi-autos, no squad...

Back home I used to bury all non-working/dud/reloading mishap rounds to my mothers flower bed. :D Now when i live on campus, I really dont have to worry about that anymore. (Nope, you got i wrong, guns are allowed on campus, my dorm actually has a reloading room.)

I legally bought my first pistol at 15. The tricky part was to get my parents sign a paper (To get permit, if under 18 need parents consent) that they now what I was doing, and I knew what im doing... I had to put my mom between a rock and a hard place (You owe me ###€, sign this or pay now...
