The Gun Thread

Kable24 · 03-06-2011, 03:08 PM

I'm sure the majority of people on here are to young to own any type of gun, but to those of us who are old enough where are my fellow gun owners hiding? I figure if there is enough we could come here to discuss what we own, want to own and any reviews, updates and range reports. Oh, and of course pics of the guns we do own. So, I'll kick it off. I currently own...
2 pistols ( Charles Daly 1911 clone and a Taurus 24/7 9mm)
a Colt M4 with a 37mm launcher
a Hi Point 9mm Carbine
and a Mossberg 500 12 gauge shotgun.

I belong to two gun ranges as well. I have my concealed carry permit and I have been requested by several people to train them on how to handle and care for pistols.

I will be picking up a GSG-5 in a couple of weeks. A GSG-5 is a .22LR caliber clone of the HK MP5 SMG. I can't afford a true 9mm MP5 as they run into the high thousands.

I will post pictures if this thread takes off.

So what is everyone else carrying?

Glad to see another Gun-owner/Comic fan, especially one from PA

Started buying only a year and a half ago, right now I have:

Glock 17 9mm
Ruger LCP .380
and a .22 Beretta Target pistol

I took a couple NRA courses, (Self-defense Pistol and Shotgun) at a club I belong to, but I dont make it out as much as I would like to.

PA allows civilians to own grenade launchers? Wow! And I thought Texas was loose with it's gun control.

Nice start. When I was 21 I owned a Ruger .45 and a Winchester 1500 Defender. I ended up selling them both and just about a year ago I started buying again.

Well the 37mm is limited on what it can fire. It can fire smoke, flares, gas (LE only) and Breakers/Super Breakers. I just recently bought a case (10) of Super Breakers for the 4th of July.

Here are some pics of my guns...

Here is a quick clip I took of my buddy firing my M4 at my one gun range.

Ponyboy · 03-15-2011, 03:51 PM

I've never been a fan of guns. They just don't interest me. My Dad had a luger from WW2 in his nightstand for all the years I was growing up. I remember thinking it was really cool because it looked like the guns in the Indiana Jones movies.

chaseter · 03-15-2011, 04:05 PM

I want a hand gun for the sole purpose of hiding it under my bed in case a burglar comes in one night.

Would you like me to shout "Hey its MWA!" when I get in, or can we have a code knock, like I'll knock three times on the door so that you know its me and don't shoot me.

Bruce Banner · 03-15-2011, 07:15 PM

I currently own a Beretta 92fs. I have not shot it in around 2 years. i keep it locked up with my dads stuff. I am honestly am thinking about selling it lately, there is no need of it for me right now.

My father is a collector so one day I will probably have his passed down to me. I have a hard time remembering all the weapons by I know he has these.

2 Springfield 1911 45ACP
Remington 1100
2 Ak47's
Ruger Redhawk 44mag
Taurus 357 4inch barrel
S&W 500mag
Remington 870
Marlin lever action
2 taurus 22mag revolvers
Stevens single shot 12 gauge.
Taurus 45acp (forgot the model)
S&W 40

mrvlknight21 · 03-15-2011, 04:07 PM

Several guns here obviously (I work in LE).

Spikes Tactical AR-15 with plenty of tactiCOOL add ons
Smith and Wesson M&P 15-22
H&K USP .45 (same gun used by Tom Cruise in Collateral)
Smith and Wesson 642 with crimson trace laser grips
Kel-Tec PF9
Kel-tec P3AT
AND an issued Glock 23

and a few others that I wont mention here...

Of course, I am always looking to buy others.

Here are some generic photos. Will post more later

Smith 15-22

H&K

Kel-tec PF9

Smith 642

Ponyboy · 03-15-2011, 04:16 PM

wow.... that 642 looks like it'd knock a hole in someone the size of an apple

DieSmiling · 03-15-2011, 04:22 PM

I'm too immature to own a gun. I'd want to play with it and would probably end up killing myself.

mrvlknight21 · 03-15-2011, 04:15 PM

This is my Spikes Ar15...but I have made some changes/add-ons and its even more decked out now. (Light/laser combo, Magpul flip front and rear sights and Balckhawk one point sling)

Sorry for all the porn...

That is a nice AR. Is the can real or a fake? Mine is a fake. I am considering getting a real suppressor, but they are expensive, not to mention the $200 stamp tax.

As for anyone thinking of purchasing, please think about it and if need be take training courses. I take my gun ownership very serious and safety is my main concern with these weapons. Whenever I take anyone out with me, if they have never fired a weapon we go over a lot of things.

I guess being in LE you can get class 3 weapons as well. I've been wanting to get one, but I can't afford them.

Personally, I don't see a point in wasting the money to get the stamp for a silencer. It really doesn't do anything at all; at least not anything worth the price of the stamp AND the can.

That's what I think too. I've seen suppressors for anywhere from $650 to well over $2000. I could buy 2 AR rifles and a pistol for $2000.
If I was wealthy though, I would definitely get a few and a bunch of Class 3 guns as well.

heh, yeah, if money weren't an issue, I'd probably get some silencers for the heck of it, too.

I plan on getting my class 3 license - they're really not expensive where i live, but I haven't figured out WHAT I want the license for yet. Some type of rifle, sure, but there are just soooo many!

To switch gears, I went to a new gunshop last fall, and they were selling one of THESE babies:

I can't believe they allow people to own some of this ****. The pistols/shoties I get, but assault rifles with launchers GTFO. I realize the majority of the people who own them wouldn't do anything bad with them, but it just seems crazy to me.

Those 37mm launchers WONT fire grenades.

depending on the state you live in and no criminal record, you can practically own anything so long as you're cool with shelling out the time and money for permits, background checks, training, etc.

I own the following:

Glock 21
Beretta 92FS
Colt 1911
Mossberg tactical (man, with the double pistol grips....thing is fun as hell to shoot)
Steyr AUG (semi-auto)

I'd love to get my hands on an M4, as well as a smaller Sig to carry, since all my pistols are friggun huge,

I don't understand that mentality. If they can handle a regular gun, why not something upgraded?

I never said I was cool with them having any assault rifle.
