You didn't know that .308 is practically a laser beam?!?!?  :rolleyes:

 

I've had the chance to shoot a FA MP-5 a couple of times at matches. One of our local guys owns one and lends it to the club for special stages. Its a crazy amount of fun, but you really can go through ammo at an alarming rate. 

Yeah I had a gift certificate from my birthday recently to a local gun club, could have rented a full auto, but they had nothing that interested me, ended up buying $100 worth of 5.56 and a 40rnd mag. All they had to rent was AR's and an uzi, I was hoping for something like an MP-5 or an MP-7....maybe an MG-42 if I was lucky (my dream gun).

MG-42's are gonna be real hard to come by stateside. :( I would like to try an MP-7, but since those are all post 86 its even tougher to find one to try out. :(

Interesting seeing this thread. I also have my CCW, and I carry a Glock 19 Gen4 -- looking to get a Glock 23 Gen4 eventually, probably when I sell off my other 9mm, which is a Taurus 917C (basically a PT92 with a shorter barrel, uses same mags as a PT92). My wife carries a Taurus PT140, wants to get a PT111 -- not sure on G1 or G2 yet. She also has a Sig Sauer Mosquito -- got it right before the .22LR started disappearing, so lucky us on that and it's been a pain trying to find it ever since without having to pay a hell of a premium for it. I've also got a Smith and Wesson 4026.

 

On long guns, we have a Winchester SXP shotgun and a Mosin Nagant. The latter needs a good cleaning, but it was practically spotless when it came to cosmoline, so it shoudln't be too difficult when I can actually put the time into it.

I really like guns, but I'm not one of those "I plead the second" guys. I shoot because it's fun and that's the only reason. Anyway, is there any gun nuts out here? Just to start, what's your favorite gun that you've shot?

@Real_PhillBert said I should check out this thread. I'm a pretty big gun nut. I work on all my own guns and have plans in the works (waiting financial backing) for building quite a few guns. My favorite gun that I have shot so far was my FN FNP-45 Tactical with a RMR sight, "Mrs Smith". That lady was a nail driver at any distance. I wound up having to sell it to my best friend to cover some emergency expenses. I have missed her since the day we parted and I carry her memory like an open wound, but at least I know she ended up in good hands. Lesson learned: never sell a gun. Take out a payday loan before selling a gun to cover expenses.

I would like to try out an M-14/M1A but havent had the chance since I spend way more time on pistol ranges than rifle ranges. Still would like one ;)

My daily CCW is a 3rd gen G19 :) It's not a gun that I have ever been in love with but it does what it does very well.

I am thinking of getting all the necessary stuff to own explosives and silencers.

My current stamp that just went pending is for a SilencerCo Saker 5.56 suppressor :P

 

My first stamp was for making my AR into a 10.5" SBR. Almost immediately after I found out how loud that was I filed for the suppressor lol.

I want a silencer for one of my subsonic guns, it is almost silent. Pretty cool stuff. My .556 is for long range, when I was in law enforcement I carried it with an EOtech now I have a Swavorski scope.

I've shot many guns, I thought it was boring. I like building PCs better.

This will be my first suppressor. I have shot a few in the past but never owned one.

 

Obviously I dont have the SBR set up for any real distance. Actually right now I still have a fairly cheap Vortex red dot on it. I would like to step up to an Aimpoint but other things always seem to take financial priority.

i've fired big revolvers, but damn, you have to be a sasquatch to handle one of them for any a length of time.

AAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGHHHHH!!!!

it was easier to justify this stuff when I thought I might use it on patrol, but it has now become harder since I was laid off.

I love guns but living in a country that has no rights the closest i've been to a gun is when im being harassed by police :( You should be one of those second guys, without people like that the government would have turned USA into Australia lol.

 

Obviously i don't mean those stupid people bringing AR's into star bucks like complete idiots and the ones who purposely argue it all the time with police over basically nothing.

Nice setup. Unfortunately that AD, in modern parlance, is more an ND, Negligent Discharge. Super sorry you had to have that experience.

 

I was always into guns, but never owned or fired one until very recently. Got my head into the game thru YouTubers like Hickok45 and IraqVeteran8888.

 

Currently own two, a sporterized Springfield M1903, on the auction block right now, I really wanted a Mil-Surp M1903. Got this as a way to try to trade and buy my way into mil-surp.

Always wanted a classic bolt action.

 

My other baby is a CZ-75 clone by Canik from Turkey, really like it. Runs smooth and is pretty darn accurate. Need to get more time at the range but money is tight. Did a little work to her and will maybe do some more as time goes on. Not really looking to have a massive collection but there are a select few guns I intend to own at some point in my life.

Yes. Mostly hunting though, so hunting weapons. A side by side shotgun and a .308 Win hunting rifle. The hunting rifle is suppressed :P

The M-14, or more likely the M1A, is on my shortlist. Some guns just have some kind of animal magnetism for me. Can't explain it.
