Probably an SKS.
I know you’re a damn socialist (according to your sig, at least) but regardless of political ideology, the SKS is quite popular in the West as a sporting firearm. They have fugly tactical ones with M4-type adjustable stocks and pistol grips.
Plus, if you’re a regular on 4chan’s /k/ threads, you’ll know it’s a favorite.

I would go for an original one if i would.

Or a pistol. :)
A good quality one with cheap ammunition.


Well, then I’d say a Glock 17 for you.
An early-PMT island-archipelago nation in the Gulf of Mexico with right-libertarian and neoconservative tendencies. Born on memes and guns by the British and Spanish but built for something deeper.

Your friend doesn't know what the fuck he's talking about.

Lemmie guess, he also said something like "5.56 is designed to wound" or some bullet or another lacks "stopping power".

Alright, papa Len Hyet's gonna drop some knowledge on ya.

  • Supersonic ammunition is great for everything except stealth.
  • Stopping power is a myth that needs to die.
  • Don't make molotov cocktails out of just liquor, that's stupid.
  • The only reason you shouldn't be shooting in a gun fight is because you're moving or reloading.
  • Never put salt directly onto your food, salt -> hand -> pinch -> sprinkle on food.

AK round is louder, but it also sounds different. Once you get an ear for it you can tell an AK from an AR almost every time.

Even i can do that, you can hear a rattle when an AK fires, and an AR is more like a snap from a whip.

Fuddlore go home.

Now, obviously 10mm is best mm, but I'd carry a 9 over a .45 any day of the week.

Come to think of it, I need a .22 or a few. I have almost 4,000 rounds of the stuff and nothing to shoot it with.

That's a lot of ammo. You should get something to fire it with.


I had a Beretta APX160, but traded it for one of my revolvers.

Edit: I plan on getting a 1022, a revolver and a pistol eventually. Need them to train up Roan.

Great choice, 10/22 is perfect for new shooters and a hell of a lot of fun for older ones.
