I have had guns for about fifteen years due to us having a plot of land on which to hunt for moose and deer. However I have always had a bigger interest in the shooting part than the hunting part, and since I came across hickok45 on youtube that interest has gotten new life.

I just love how he does it. Instead of only shooting moose paper targets like we do here, he shoots at flower pots, car doors, metal figures and 2 liter soda cans etc. I quickly realized that's what I want to do too though unfortunately I have limited abilities since our plot of land is shaped the way it is which is quite narrow with neighbours not too far away. But I did put up a few brick targets earlier this fall and had a go on them with my .30-06 semi-auto, and it really was such a fun way of shooting! Though needless to say, that round is pretty expensive and I may go look for a smaller caliber in the near future.

This is one instance where I kinda wish I was a Murican. Our views on guns here is they should only be used on paper targets or clay pigeons and for hunting and it should only be done to better ourselves. Just having fun like this or defend ourselves simply doesn't exist here which is a shame. But I'll do my part to change that...

So if kiln anyone would like to chime in on the subject of shooting for fun, please do!

It is


That grip reminds of the classic M16.

Well my SCAR-L came in today. Here it is next to my .22LR "Mini-SCAR" and P90.

That's a nice collection, although one of them is cheating being a powder user...

That’s a neat collection there Reaps. Do the air softs fire full auto?

Oh yeah, even the airsoft SCAR shoots full auto. Can't wait to shoot it .

Nice!

Wait till I get the airsoft Grenade Launcher for it .

Lol I think you misspelled “Nerf Master Blaster”

Nope no nerf here! Unless I decide to buy some foam balls to act as projectiles.

Reaper likes big boom!

Can those things hurt? Looks like they can

They're foam balls I doubt they'll hurt now the airsoft BB's, they can do some damage from videos I've seen.

Believe it or not, this is actually an approved hunting rifle here now. I can even get a 30 round mag for it (training only) and suppressor. Like I said it IS approved by the proper agency and recognized by the police as a hunting rifle, but I still doubt it would be easy to get one. Especially for me as I already have filled my four gun quota. I can get more theoratically but then I have to convince authorities that the new gun fills a need my other guns can't. And I don't think home defense is such an argument; this is not Texas..

Now, this particular gun in 223/5.56 actually would fill a void for me as I don't have a class 2 hunting rifle. But yeah, I still very much doubt it would be easy for me to get one. But it is interesting that this AR style rifle is even approved for hunting in the first place as that would have been unthinkable not five years ago.

I'd give anything to own a rifle like that, until America's political system take a drastic turn gun prices here will continue to climb to the point only the rich and elite can afford them.

Price is what's stopping you?


Also, I thought you already had a rifle like that.

Dear Santa; here's my Christmas wish list


1911 was a good year

Don't know what year .223 was though
