How many guns are you buying??



Also, you sold your PS4 Pro you waited for with such anticipation?

Well let's see I still need a conceal carry weapon (I sold the .380 Auto Diamond Back, I'll probably upgrade that to a Glock version later) so a .357 Magnum revolver is in the near future. I got hunting pretty much covered. As for the PS4 Pro---I'm not worried about it I can buy it again anytime and whatever I had can be re-uploaded without any consequences. If I need a game to play I'll play my Steam games. In all I'm good .

What calibur is that rifle Reaps?

17 HMR

Senpai Crow .

So I fired the new rifle and I love it, it has no recoil and is very accurate I just need to get a scope for it. For anyone whose wandering what the 17 HMR is it's pretty much a modified .22 Magnum and it's also rim fired.

Gotta say, 17 HMR is a caliber I've never had any interest in. But the rifle looks really nice and yes, I have heard it's a very nice little nail driver

I believe it has a higher velocity than the .22 magnum too.

That it does. Hickok (I gotta stop watching him, I bought this rifle and that 500 because of him lol ) says the 17 HMR round leaves the barrel so fast its already at the target by the time you release the trigger. This is a good small to medium game hunting rifle, the 500's good for home defense and bear attacks.....maybe some zombies as well .

I think I introduced you to him. Should I expect a bill from you at some point?


I can do pretty much all hunting I am interested in with the guns I have. As for home defense and zombies, well, that's what my 12 gauges are for


Don't know about bear attacks though. I've heard well experienced hunters totally freeze up when encountering one of those. You never know how you will react the first time.

This one is not familiar with this round, lol

It's a modified .22 Magnum round.

Right, there was a new belief in semi automatic rifles and a revolution of the weapons indistry toward producing moderate powered rifles for urban fights.

The Russians were actually among the first to realize the need for shorter, more maneuverable rifles. They just distrusted semi automatics.

All the people reviewing (and shooting) these guns in the vids Khajiit has watched look like they are having a blast (no pun intended)! This one is thinking he may begin his search for one in earnest on Thursday.

Anyone knows when they officially switched from the .30-06?

Khajiit doesn't, but he does know that the US military used the M1 Garand well into the 60's and it fired the .30-06 round.

Who? The 30-06 was a US round. The Germans and Russians used different calibers of their own design.

This was before allied countries really standardized their ammunition.

Probably with the M14 in the mid-60s, which used the 7.62x51 Nato round.

Thinking about getting a Sig Sauer P226...


Yeah, air versions of course. I am a bit torn between the ASP and the X-FIVE. The former shoots pellets and has much higher power and both guns have blowback, but the latter functions very much like the real deal in which you can field strip it like you can with a real Sig. Plus it has my fave feature; last shot hold open.

The X-FIVE shoots steel BBs though which I'm not a fan of. Hmm....



Edit: Might get a paintball gun instead. The Tippman looks really nice and seems to work well and easy. Not realistic with blowback and last shot hold open etc, but I really like this one. Or possibly the Tiberius T8.1.

Reminds me of the high end type air pistols that are made from actual handguns but modified to only fire air gun pellets, some of those are actually quite impressive.

Apparently the Sig Sauer air pistols are made in the same factory as the real stuff
