Lock'n Loaded - Guns, Ammo, Military and Survival Stuff

[reaper239]

Yes. But that's about it really, and a leatherman maybe, I think we're allowed air rifles as well, we were when I was a kid but the laws may have changed. Definitely allowed a SAK though.

well at least it's something you could use to defend yourself. granted, i'd rather have a bazooka (no one's gonna mess with the man carrying a bazooka) or at least a handgun, but i'll settle for knife. (i live in maryland, and while woollard v sheridan is currently challenging the carry laws, citizens still can't carry here in maryland.)

I dig how every time a Dem is running or elected the "They're gonna take your guns" stuff starts up. Ain't happened yet and isn't going to happen. My rights as a black man voting will go before that ever happens. Congress passes laws, the president doesn't. Anyway..
I'll buy as many weapons as I need to protect my family (which will be a Saiga12, AR15 and a .380 for the wife.. and that's it).

Admittedly, some of it may be "They're gonna take your guns" hype, but I've been reading several articles in the NRA's magazine about the back room plans and secret dealings that our "president" is working on currently and for a 2nd term. Also, the president selects Supreme Court Justices (with approval) and they interpret the laws. In the next 4 years there will be one or two new judges to be appointed. Considering how close the rulings on some recent major cases have been, the wrong people could be disaster for gun rights.

We may be getting a bit too political and this supposed to be a fun thread. Bottom line, whatever your political views are, just vote.

what incident was this?

i disagree on one point: the fed is trying to disarm the people, but it's not dems or reps, it's "progressives" which can be found in both parties. the problem is not one huge sweeping gun ban, it's little things. peice by peice they chip away at our freedoms until they can remove them wholesale from the constitution. like the assault weapons ban. anything can be used to assault someone, and therefore that would make it an assault weapon right? so the title is ambiguous, so let's go to content: it banned semi-automatic rifles. not assault rifles, which is a clissification of rifle defined by the inclusion of a select fire feature, but semi-automatic rifles like the AR-15, and it banned things based on aesthetics, not function. thank goodness that silly piece of legislation was not renewed, but that's how it starts. look at britain, they didn't start with the wholesale ban of firearms, they started with little restrictions here and there until not even the police are allowed to carry guns. sorry for the rant, i just see the threat to our freedoms as very real.

So true. Also, the ridiculous 10rd magazine limit. I can dump (3) 10rd mags about as quick as I could (2) 15rd or (1) 30rd.

both are great, just in different ways. the AK47 is like the workhorse of war, no matter what you do to it, it will keep on shooting. the AR platform is like a precision instrument, it requires love and care, but it is great at what it does. also, it's like a barbie doll for men. based on how the rounds are designed, i would go with the AR platform, but that's just a personal thing. plus i love accessories.

I like the AKs durability and larger 7.62X39 round but, in a SHTF situation I'd probably go with the AR because I can reload it faster. There are a lot of companies now that are making cool accessories to trick out an AK.

"Their going to take your guns!" slogan has sold more guns than any tv, movie, or sexy model with a gun put together. I'm sure as soon as someone says "Their going to take your SPAM!" There's going to be a run of SPAM.

[GeneTwo]

Actually I think they are going to ban SPAM, I'm going to buy some right now.

The main reason the second ammendment is enshrined in the US bill of rights is to effect regime change if the current government becomes too overbearing and oppressive.

Indeed. It is the hidden "fourth" of the Checks and Balances of our political system.

and random police searches? that's just wrong.

and our Fourth Amendment protects us from that.

That said and now that I have caught myself up on the some odd 26 pages in this thread, allow me to jump in with my gun pr0n:

The Barrett XM-109.

That's right. It is a 25mm x 59mm "sniper rifle." Look out Behemoths.

The Remington 1740. A double barrel pump action 12 gauge shotgun. 'Nuff said:


Chainsaw bayonet? Yes please:


HK SL9SD

Shoots the .300 Whisper Cartridge. With a silencer, ANY rifle shooting the 300 whisper is scary quiet.

And my personal favorite melee weapon, the ditch bank blade:

No fancy ninja nonsense here, this thing's meant to take abuse.

Wasn't sure where to put this, as it is a magazine... but I wanted to share and have as many eyes see it as possible.


From the publishers of Guns & Ammo comes the premier issue of Zombie Nation.

Here is a review of it on YouTube.

Simply put, it is in the magazine review format for guns, ammo, knives, gear, even vehicles... for the zombie apocalypse.

Found it the other night at my local Wally World and had to pick it up. So far it is great. No BS in here, it's all seemingly good, effective advice for shooting and surviving in the apocalypse.

I picked up a copy a week or so ago. It's basically a 60 page ad for M16s. I was really hoping it would be more... I guess my mistake was that I didn't realize it was a G&A mag, or I would have kept walking.

Was disappoint.

































































But the target is on my bathroom wall now.

[7oddisdead]

yup..gotta agree with osi. kinda a disappointing effort...but what should we have expected? this is a fine example of something latching hold of the genre for the sake of making a buck(im my opinion)..






i do kinda want that 1911 though

[Condor]

Cool looking magazine, but $9 seems a bit pricey.
That 1911 is not bad, but I REALLY want the Kel-Tec KSG. My local dealer has been trying to get one for over a year.
Also that "face stab" muzzle break would look awesome on my Rock River AR.
