Why have rifles?

[Oleg Volk]

Nice one Oleg. Just out of curiosity, where do all these posters end up?

Is there a place we can buy them?

Shortly (within weeks), some posters will become available in a web store that's being designed right now.

I'll make an AR15 and M1A versions, too.

 

[Dave R]

Wow! Says a lot with few words. Well done!

I agree, a different rifle might be more acceptable to fence sitters. An AR, or an M-1...

"And to make Prarie Dogs Explode!".

That would defnitely require a different rifle. I don't think you could hit a P-dog with an AK beyond 75 yards. And I've tried with my SAR-3!

very nice and to the point

No FAL?

The Free World's Right Arm needs to be represented.

 

[gulogulo1970]

I like that one! That is the best you have ever done, perfect.

 

[entropy]

Excellent as is, and a version with a Rev. War era musket and an M16 would even better drive home the multi-use message. Top notch work, Oleg!

 

[Stiletto Null]

Looks like it belongs on a DVD case or one of those old VHS sleeves.

 

[Can'thavenuthingood]

Lever action one also please, maybe a 16 -18 inch barrel?

Excellent poster.

[losangeles]

In the spirit of making something American-oriented, sheeple-friendly that some have mentioned, how about (a) an American-made rifle (non-auto, lever-action maybe) and (b) American family on the cover - ordinary-looking husband, blond wife, 2 children (maybe 8 years old and an infant). That'll be work for the American marketplace.

 

[Oleg Volk]

I'll make those also. Trying to cover all bases with limited time and available props.

 

[SMLE]

Do you have an Enfield?

I would suggest that any military rifles used should have a bayonet fixed.

 

[Oleg Volk]

I have an Enfield #4 but not a FAL. Might have a loaner FAL for pics though.

 

[shooten]

Excellent work Oleg. Definitely one of your best.

Hw do you not have a FAL? Oleg, quite frankly, I'm disappointed.

j/k

Thanks for the posters and well, everything else.

Nice poster, keeps it simple and clear.



Well to each his own, the Kalashnikov is probly the worlds most well known modern rifle tho (and has the most shock value to a US viewer ).

It changes the posters meaning, because many people who think "civilian rifle" think something a deer hunter would use. Not as a useful tool for defense and war that should be in every home.

The whole point of owning weapons is that their not just for sport. Therefore the 2nd amendment didnt just mean target pisols, pepperspray and tazers.

+1 Good Sir!

 

[SMLE]

I'll see if I can't get you a good pic of a #1 MkIII with bayonet.

Sweet Marion Barry, I'll have to choose which are my favorites to hang about the house.

 

[Oleg Volk]

I used to have a FAL made from STG kit. Didn't really like it. DSA rifles I used later were much better, but also much more expensive. I pretty much standardized on AR15 and M15 types...don't get enough training as it is.

Pepperspray and tazers are illegal where I'm at. So are stun guns and spring batons and "night sticks" and nunchuks and throwing knives and ninja stars... well, you get the idea. We absolutely NEED firearms here, because we're not allowed to have anything else!

Oh, YEAH!!!

That one is PERFECT!!!!

[Rembrandt]

I think that...for the sake of not turning folks off and lending the idea of the "AmericanTradition"...I'd add a Rifle-Musket or Trapdoor Springfield...a Winchester lever gun...A Springfield '03...a Garand...
and switch the Kalashnikov for an M-16. Maybe the caption:
"What purpose has the rifle served through our history."

Dittos 1911Tuner....the two most popular activities rifles are noted for didn't get mentioned, Hunting and Target (or recreational) Shooting

 

[puffiewon]

purposes of rifles

I agree with the poster, but to ignorant people, the AK is a street-sweeper made for hunting humans. Maybe put a picture of a different type of rifle for each purpose: bolt action for hunting/defending livestock?

 

[Oleg Volk]

AK is a universal sport-utility rifle. My original version listed more uses, but brevity prevailed.

I'll make more PC variants, too...a nice wood-stocked Garand with black top 06 lurking inside, sullenly awaiting a chance to speak in the directions of an errant JBT stack who came to eminent-domain away my cat

I think that the true audience for this poster is not an "anti" or non-gun-owning-soccer-mom-fence-sitter. It is the snob hunter, skeet shooter, or benchrest shooter who sees no "use" for ugly EBRs.

For so many, basic home defense and tyrrant control never enters their mind. They live in a nice "safe" neighborhood and are "free" to own and use their $6,000 guns for "sport."
