This is the meanest, baddest, longest reaching guns ever used by the military. If you have never seen one shot, this is a good video, it also helps you to relise the actual size of the bullet being fired. The 223 they show is basically a 30/30 size round, or more so a 22 round with a longer shell casing. Its the common ammo used in a M16 Rifle. Enjoy Direct Link: www.youtube.com/watch?v=rnInFLRtcdA |

Looks like I have another "gun nut" (or two) here for company! KEWL! A buddy of mine had one of them babies years ago when they were "legal" in Calif. Now, due to being an "anti-gun" state, they ARE a "no-no". Rotten bureaucrat, buttwipes!  In any case his was a semi-auto just like the video. Nice rifles indeed!! |

Sorry! I know, the "anti's" have our whole damn society shaking over stupid "catch phrases", "acronyms", words that demonize gun owners LIKE "GUN NUT", "BLACK RIFLE", etc. No offense meant. It was meant affectionately. Point is, they're after em so, you'd better get it now. Out here in Kommiefornia, er Kalifornia they were legal one day - illegal the next. PREPARE!!That "trend" is burning up the country fast. The wildfire WILL burn everything until we have to take a stand in our doorways! Sorry again. Don't mean to start no controversy's. Can ya tell I love firearms - not just RC Helicopters? ;D |

I am also ex-military and while I don't consider myself a "gun nut", I do own several and always will. All the gun laws the government is passing/trying to pass are making it so that only the bad guys have guns. Do they actually think criminals are using legally purchased weapons most of the time? No law they can pass is going to keep them from getting them. As long as they have guns so will I. If it comes down to it I will buy one from some crackhead on the street, just like the bad guys do.

No mil vet here but, my MARINE uncle (may he RIP) told me years ago to watch and wait. He said he quit NRA because he saw the direction the country was headed (negatively speaking regarding gun ownership) and as a "life member" he felt totally betrayed seeing law after law AFTER LAW passed restricting gun owners from "this or that" - even helped to pass BY NRA as so-called "common sense" "laws".
What's "common sense" bout banning 30 round mags? Flash suppressors? Bayonet's, etc., etc.? 50cal Barrett's? Hell, I read Barrett won't even service LEO weaps (his) from this state due to the "ban" on .50's!
Things stink regarding our "freedoms" lately (imho). The last 100 years was THE WORST for guns and gun owners. Bad signs of things to come! Stay vigilant!
1968 GCA was taken damn near verbatim from the 1938 German GCA. That is sobering to them that have "eyes to see" and "ears to hear" what's REALLY going on in this country. Don't get me started! That's a deeeeeep subject, brother!

I took no offence to the Gun Nut comment, mainly cause i got a cousin who is a gun nut, him and his wife are so nuts about guns, they custom load 500mag rounds.... and they got so many orders they cant keep up. I love my guns, and i practice my right to bear arms every chance i get, i payed for your right and my right to have that right. I served so others dont, i protected others so they could bask in freedom, and i love anyone who loves their guns, call me a GUN NUT again and ill proudly respond with Not a NUT but i defend the right to bear arms.

Well here in Jersey we are right behind CA in gun laws. You almost have to be a quire boy to get a permit to purchase. Then they ask "why would a quire boy want a gun" Then you get denied. ;D ;D
