I am *so* glad I live in Canada, where the .22lr's flow like water.

Depending on where in Canada you could cross the border and make quite the profit off of us.

My dad and I just bought a Ruger 10/22 a couple of weeks ago. Burned a hundred rounds through it in one go, only jammed twice. That's reliability.

It is a good gun but it gets really bad when dirty, which sounds obvious but my Remington 1100 only jams on crap shells after 3 months of not being cleaned. The Ruger after roughly 100-150 rounds gets really bad.

I'm sadly stuck with a Savage 64 and a Chiappa M1-22 for my .22 plinking. The M1-22 is absolute rubbish in my opinion. It's just bordering dangerous, considering it tends to fire in two-round bursts without me asking it to.

I mean, considering they were range rounds, I was thoroughly impressed. But hey, it's a cheap gun. I'm not expecting it to magically stay clean or anything.

Ya it's solid for the price and if you really want you can empty the magazine in a couple of seconds. My uncle used to take it and hold the handle in one hand, take the other and shove his finger in the trigger guard, and just go back and forth. His neighbors thought he had a machine gun, its a fun little gun.

Great, now the government can file .22 LR's as assault weapons. Thanks, Uncle Tito.

Yep coming next tactical .22 LR's equipped with a black paint and $200 price increase.

Heh, I'm probably getting a few of those 120rd drums for the ruger, and probably make/get a bump stock on it as well (depending on how legal it is). Would be surprising for people at the backwoods range I go to.

Sounds like fun.

You could just hook your finger through your belt loop.

[Spreewerke]

Except for Taurus.

Taurus got some things right. Like the Judge, if you remember Smith and Wesson ripped it off with the Governor, basically the same but had 1 more round.

Both are pretty pointless and useless handguns, really. Since the bore is rifled, any .410 shot is going to be incredibly inaccurate, and at that, you are putting .45LC or .410 slugs through a revolver. There really isn't much of a point to it other than "look at what we done did," or, at the very least, use as a snake gun.

But that is negligible considering it fires a 4-10 and if you manage to miss 5 times you should probably have a real gun like I don't know a fully automatic M60 belt fed with a 250 round belt wrapped around your body.

There have been instances of people being shot multiple times in the chest with a .357 Magnum and not dying.

There have been instances of people shot in the torso or even the chest with .50BMG and/or 12.7 Russian and not dying. Doesn't sound like fun, though, at least not when I read it. Not when you're torn open from your groin to your left nipple (or shoulder).

Ah, come on, that's no fun.

Although I'm wondering, since it's a 22, if you put a plate on the top of the stock (like on an mg), or hold it firmly on the forend, and grip the PG loosely, with your thumb acting as that disengager plate, could you replicate the functionality of a bump stock without having a bump stock.

5 shots is hardly enough, especially when you could have a pistol with similar dimensions carrying 3x as many rounds

Those feels when G17 Gen. 4 with 17+1 Hornady Critical Defense with a mounted TLR-1s weapon light and two spare magazines.

G-40 MOS 15+1, 2 spares and a good reflex sight. No such thing as overkill.

Edit: Make that 4 spares.

G20 G4 with Lone Wolf upgrades and a full mag of goodness.

[The Freeholds]

I don't know why, but I am probably going to have to say the Colt 727.
I just love the retro look with the detachable carry handle, and especially of it is painted camo.

727s have an A2 upper receiver: the handle isn't detachable.

However, you may find this interesting (not my rifle): http://imgur.com/a/D8Y6m

Unfamiliar with that one. Will have to look it up.

[Imperial City-States]

So just a general note,

Does anyone have any experience with a Bushmaster ACR? I've been thinking about buying one but haven't been able to talk to anyone who can give me a good summery of how the rifle preforms and any particular pro's and cons of it.

G26 w/ 15+1 and two spares plus four 33 rd mags for the Sub-2000 in the trunk.

can't even imagine just having 5 shots

I've never owned one but I do know a bit about it. It's pretty solid design and supposedly easy cleaning. i looked into 1 myself and it is a bitch finding info for it.
On a similar note for handguns does anyone know anything about CZ? They make great shotguns and hunting/competition rifles, but no one I've met knows anything about their handgun market.

MP7 in my satchel(man purse) with 8 extra 30 round magazines, reflex sites, and what the hell a laser sight. Green laser sight. Or carry a backpack everywhere and keep some illegal ass sawed off shotgun in their. Maybe a KSG, pretty small with the bullpup design and holds 15 shells.
