Main Military Weapon of Your Country: Mod 7

[San-Silvacian]

Some sort of steve erwin esque former operator who fights them.

"OI! Look at the size of that T-72! These beasts can weigh upwards of 40 tonnes and boast nearly 220mm of armor!
*Pulls out AT-4*
We need to tranquilize her to tag her, and see their natural migration patterns!
*Fires at T-72, knocking off tread as it flips on its side, turret spinning wildly and shooting*
*Operator steve operates up to the T-72 and places a tag on its underbelly*
We got my wife, a licenced engeneer, to fix em up.
*Cut to the guy from orange county choppers guy in a bikini and blonde wig with a welding torche pulling on a welders face plate*
We got the tank all fixed up and away she went!
*Tank rolls back to its treads, a large bandaid visible on its left tread. Smoke blows out of exhaust as it speeds away*
Nature is beautiful, aint it?

I actually read that in David's voice.

I just bought 100 stripper clips for $47.

18 of that is for overnighting.

[San-Silvacian]

I'm trying to get my parents into buying a 91/30 and an SKS, but my dad wants something semi-automatic with a 20-30 round magazine even though I keep telling him you can up the SKS from a 10-round stripper clip to a 20-30 round magazine but I think we'll just get some crappy AR-15, at least hes gunning for automatic AR-15, so its not ALL that bad.

My 18th though I'm buying a 91/30 and 300 rounds of surplus ammunition. If I can I'll get a carbine with the flip-out triangle bayonet.

Hahaha.

That AR-15 will cost about $1,500.00 if it's sub-Colt for another few months, and any detachable magazine for an SKS isn't worth the trouble. If you want a combination of historic and semi-automatic, WASRs are still going slightly under sub-$1,000.00.

What range are you guys going to be shooting at, though, anyway? That can help determine a lot. I rarely ever shoot beyond 200m, and all of my rifle-cartridge firearms were basically purchased for their historic value rather than their ability to perform at long range.

Saiga
Do it.

Pretty much home defense. My dad wants to be able to shoot someone multiple times and make sure those rounds work.

[-the Ukrainian SSR-]

Ukraine, watch my marksmen shoot your privates to pieces with M1895/90.

You can make assumptions after the fact, not before, obtuse little Austrian.

Settle down, the two of you. Do not make me being out the Winchester 1895.

[Benomia]

I hazz M1901 I hazz winn

[Immoren]

All I have is this crossbow.

[Benomia]

Lever action is best action

10 gauge is best gauge

M1887 is best 887

[Immoren]

Lever action is best action

10 gauge is best gauge

M1887 is best 887

Lever action's not good if you have to shoot from prone. (IIRC).

Then some ass with a G98 comes out and and pretty much kills everybody.

Lever action's not good if you have to shoot from prone. (IIRC).

To solve that, you put the lever on the top of the gun.

[Kouralia]

Or just do bolt action b/c bolt action.

[Benomia]

Bolt action is much harder than lever action.

[Kouralia]

Or just do bolt action b/c bolt action.

Bolt action is much harder than lever action.

Harder in what way?

[Samozaryadnyastan]

M44 best home defence weapon.

amirite, Spree?

[Samozaryadnyastan]

Bolt action is much harder than lever action.

Harder in what way?

Presumably in what the action entails. Various different movements and rotations of joints, plus having to manoeuvre your hand and arm close to your face. A lever-action is much more natural is posture and simple to operate.

[Benomia]

Bolt action is much harder than lever action.

Harder in what way?

With bolt action, you have to go up-back-forward-down. With lever action, you only have to go down-up.

I haven't used a lever-action for comparison, but bolt action is really not hard.

Harder in what way?

With bolt action, you have to go up-back-forward-down. With lever action, you only have to go down-up.

Correction, Curve down-front.

Anyway, the difference is negligible so as to make no difference.

[Alimeria-]

Or just do bolt action b/c bolt action.

Bolt action is much harder than lever action.

No, it's not at all. There is nothing hard about grabbing a bolt handle, bring it up, and bringing it close to you.

And if that's too hard for you, then Straight pull. It's just a simple manner of grabbing the Bolt handle and bring it closer to you.

And if you have an issue it with it being too slow, then there are (expensive) Double-Barreled Bolt Action Rifles...And now I think I'll regret telling you

And I have used both Lever-actions and Bolt-actions. First gun I shot was a lever-action, and now I am using a Lever-action for my Hunting Rifle.

[Benomia]

In case you haven't noticed, I'm not serious about the lever action.

Anyway,
<3
