werent you more of a maclight guy?
guns are neat and the autoshotgun is art but what ive been doing hah hah is make bows. I dedicated this summer to that artform. I think its fascinating that you could make a hunting weight weapon out of a little piece of tree. powerful enough to kill a deer or whatevs. all you need is some knowhow,a knife and wood.

this stick is just over the official limit of hunting weight. limit is 18kg or 40 pounds and the stick is 19-20 kilos to pull back the string.

The Saiga 12 (12 gauge shotgun based on the AK47) is a fun, legal semi-auto shoot for those not lucky enough to have machine permits in the U.S.

Been building custom AR-15's for the last few years.

God I want to fire a 40mm canon, fucking sexy as hell.

I only have a 3 more months and I can get all of my guns back, the only one I really care about is my Dad's Rock River Arms Entry Tactical M4, which is a civvie grade AR. I have been looking at Olympic arms AR-15's for awhile now thinking if I should get one or not. I really like the LE series (tactical "stubby")they make, like this one

Since becoming a felon and not having my guns for the last 5 years I've acquired 2 sights and a rail system which ended up being broke when I received it. I scored a nice little EOTech sight back in 2010 at a gun show in Texas for $449 which is about $150 cheaper than retail, and just last Christmas my friend gave me his AIMPOINT Micro T-1. I haven't had a chance to use them and I'm really excited for June to roll around so I can go out to the local watertower and take cans out.

That's what he had. I think I've fired 2 of those & both had issues.

I am going back to Texas in October, if you are close enough to where I'm going to be at you think you may wanna go shootin' this year Keith?

My Colt Series 70 MK IV Gold Cup National Match 1911 .45. There's a reason this gun hasn't changed design in 100 years and is more popular than it's ever been.

Yeah, the Valmet! The nicest AK variant, I think. They were on the original 'assault weapons' ban so importation stopped & prices of pre-ban rifles went through the roof. I have seen a few in person at machine gun shoots & gun shows.

Okay I didn't know where to post this, but I'm always excited by the prospect of laser weapons. Hail the techno-dystopia we've been waiting for!

A laser weapons system that can shoot down two drones at a distance of over a mile has been demonstrated by Rheinmetall Defence.

I can't find a picture of Survival Research Laboratories' 10-barrelled shotgun :(

I quite like Tom Sachs' art-object homemade guns and his audacious moneymaking scheme early in his career:
QuoteIn the mid and late 1990s, Sachs' career began to take off. His first major solo show, "Cultural Prosthetics"[1], opened at New York's Morris-Healy Gallery in 1995. Many works from the show conflated fashion and violence, as with HG (Hermés Hand Grenade) (1995) and Tiffany Glock (Model 19) (1995)[2], both of which were models made with Hermes or Tiffany packaging. Although these sculptures were non-functional, another piece - Hecho in Switzerland (1995) - was an actual working homemade gun. Sachs and his assistants would make similar guns and sell them back to the city as part of New York's gun buyback program (for up to $300 each).[3]

FUCK! Those are amazing. Great scam too. I wish there were gun trade in programs here. There might be something like that in Toronto, I should check, because I've made zip guns when I was a teeny bopper, and that would be a great way to bring in some extra cash! Hopefully such programs are anonymous though, because I might not want the extra attention.

Pretty cool project. I wonder if their mags stand up to thousands of rounds, being dropped, etc. It'll be interesting if they can come up with a handgun/rifle that
stands up to all the testing.


I think they recently tested a magazine that stood up to 300 or so rounds just fine.

Post by: Jordan on February 21, 2013, 04:30:02 AM
There were a lot of Loompanics books about converting semi-autos to fully automatic, don't know how much I've trust them though. A crazy survivalist guy those sons I grew up with once showed us how, with a pack of matches, one could make whatever semi automatic rifle he had (which was obviously totally illegal here, but he was an illegal immigrant who'd moved here during the Vietnam war anyway) fire fully automatic for one squeeze of the trigger. Don't know if it actually worked, as he didn't demonstrate it in action, but I think I've seen books on the topic in Delta Books catalogues.

Also, I think the charm of a printed magazine is that, if they're made illegal, if you're in a survival situation, or if you're just caught without one, you would be able to print up some temporary ones.

Also, that was three hundred bullets fired in a row. They had to change out the barrels to prevent warping, so that says something, I think.

1000+ angry libertarian guys with loaded rifles and a city full of twitchy trigger happy cops and secret service guys. Can't see any problems happening at all with this peaceful demonstration.

Serious question, as I'm having terrible time making a decision...

My current everyday carry is a little double barrel 9mm derringer style tacticle pistol (I.e. Essentially an assassination/get off of me style of weapon) called the "Doubletap Pistol".  It's tiny and yet comfortable much unlike the traditional derringer style. It holds two in the chamber l, and two in the handle compartment. This would not be an issue (lack of firepower) in a typical self defense application, except that the spent shells refuse to fall out after being fired, instead requiring to be forcefully extracted with a knife or a fingernail. I have written the manufacturer and they suggested that my gun is not clean enough. This is assuredly not the case.
To replace this weapon, I have decided upon the Glock 42 (.380).
The question, finally, is:

Should I buy a glock 42 or the proiekt hat boxset?

I technically don't NEED either one of them, but I WANT both badly.
Title: Re: Fine art of GUNS
Post by: Bleak Existence on December 19, 2014, 08:24:29 PM
Glock 42 the PH boxset won't save your life but maybe the gun will
Title: Re: Fine art of GUNS
Post by: sterilization on December 21, 2014, 06:36:33 AM
Strictly because of the size of the weapon in this case. The g42 is the most comparable in size to the 9mm that I currently pocket carry.
I hate open carrying and my g23 is too large to comfortably conceal.
