Weapons? What do you own?


Recommended Posts

Springfield XD 9mm 5"

Ruger 10/22 (.22)

Mossberg 500 20" (12 gauge)

Mossberg 600 28" with adjustable choke (12 gauge)

Rock River AR-15 16" (M4 style)

I sold 4 others so I can move... (Kel-Tec SU-16CA, 16 gauge single-shot shotgun, .25 Beretta Jetfire and an SKS)

Working on building another AR in the 20 inch flavor with iron sights once I get my living situation in order.

Non-projectile weapons:

2 Hickory Police Batons (Perks of having a cop ((retired)) for a father)

1 fixed-blade USAF- issued survival knife

1 folding Knife

It's sad to see people making comments such as, "I don't own any guns. I'm secure in my masculinity." What exactly does this mean? I'm happy with the size of my Mr. Winkie. I have gay friends even though I'm straight. I've had sex with a few women... So why paint all people with a broad brush? I choose to exercise my rights as an American, it's your choice if you would like to do the same. Sorry if you don't agree with the rights I have, maybe I should fight to take away the rights of others that I don't see any need for? Sounds fair, right?

The only thing I would actually consider a "weapon" would probably be my Boker Kalashnikov modified Wharncliffe Automat.

Seeing as I always carry it on my person, and it is always within arms length. All my other knives are mostly just collecting dust, even my $200 Benchmades lol... I suppose if it came down to it, any of them could be a "weapon", but this is just what is usually available.

Get some ballpoint pens for your arsenal bro.

I've got Beowulf upper on my AR15. Fifty-calibur bullets FTW. Home defense of course. Shoot first, bury the body later if you know what I mean.

Now in which warzone do you live in to feel the need for an AR15 for protection?

Just bought my new primary concealed carry pistol, a Kahr 9mm sub compact. It's small enough to carry very comfortably as it only weighs in at 15.9 ounces unloaded. This particular pistol shoots like a dream considering how small it is.

An "update" - I had my Boker taken away. Was pulled over by an officer on a bad day I guess (5 miles over the speed limit), and to avoid my ticket he basically offered me a trade.... My knife, for him ripping the ticket up. I of course obliged him, since technically a Boker isn't a "common pocket knife" by Florida standards, so that was also obviously to avoid further troubles & technicalities...

I now carry a much smaller, Kershaw Scallion, which in my opinion is much more civ friendly. $200 Benchmades still collecting dust. Lolweapons.

First AR...just picked it up today. Can't wait to go to the range.

How much did it run you? I need a good rifle for general hunting, recreation, etc., and I like the M4/M16 style of weapon because I'm used to it.

$675...I haven't seen them much cheaper than that online either. I bought mine right from the local gun shop.

$675...REALLY! Ones just like that are $1,000 to $1,500 here.

The S&W M&P15 is the cheapest AR-type rifle out there now. Before the M&P, the lowest price was found on the Stag Arms (still a great company). The biggest differences between the M&P and almost every other AR is the lack of forward assist and there's no door over the ejection port.

    • They aren't going to want to. Most would just go with the 17 Pro and save money. Why would they want to spend $300 for basically the same thing? It's not worth it if there are hardly any changes from year to year.
    • 24H2 rolled out to the Release Preview Channel in early June 2024, so this coming a bit later in the Experimental Channel (formerly Dev) doesn't really say much more than earlier H2 releases that came out in October. I am not sure what the thinking is here by putting it in Experimental, one would think that the 26H2 stamp means features are locked down and it's now bug tested until October? I don't even pretend to understand Microsoft's strategy for Windows Insider Program though
    • Nothing Ear (a) and CMF Buds Pro 2 with active noise cancellation drop to lowest price ever by Fiza Ali With Prime Day 2026 scheduled to run from Tuesday 23 to Friday 26 June, Amazon has already begun rolling out early access offers ahead of the main event.

Nothing Ear (a) are equipped with 11mm dynamic drivers featuring a PM1 + TPU diaphragm. For noise control, the earbuds offer active noise cancellation (ANC) of up to 45dB across frequencies reaching 5,000Hz. The smart ANC algorithm adapts to surrounding noise levels, while a Transparency Mode allows users to remain aware of their environment when needed. Connectivity is handled via Bluetooth 5.3, with support for AAC, SBC, and LDAC audio codecs. Additional features include IP54-rated earbuds for dust and splash resistance, paired with an IPX2-rated charging case. Furthermore, users also benefit from pinch controls, in-ear detection, Google Fast Pair, Microsoft Swift Pair, dual-device connectivity, and a low-latency mode designed for gaming and video playback. The Nothing X app unlocks a range of customisation options, including a personalised equaliser, bass enhancement, control remapping, ear tip fit testing, firmware updates, dual-device management, a Find My Earbuds feature, and low-latency mode settings. When it comes to the battery, the earbuds house a 46mAh lithium-ion battery, while the charging case contains a 500mAh cell. With ANC disabled, users can expect up to 9.5 hours of playback from the earbuds and up to 42.5 hours in total with the charging case. With ANC enabled, battery life is rated at up to 5.5 hours per charge and up to 24.5 hours combined with the case. Finally, fast charging is also supported that should provide up to 10 hours of playback from a 10-minute charge with ANC turned off. Nothing Ear (a) Wireless Earbuds (Black): $53.20 (Amazon US) - 33% The CMF Buds Pro 2 feature a dual-driver audio system consisting of an 11mm bass driver and a 6mm micro-planar tweeter. The earbuds use PU (polyurethane) and PET (polyethylene terephthalate) titanium-coated diaphragms and are tuned by Nothing to deliver balanced audio performance. They further support active noise cancellation of up to 50dB across a frequency range of up to 5,000Hz, and noise control features include a Smart ANC algorithm, Adaptive ANC, Transparency Mode, and Clear Voice Technology 2.0. For calls, the CMF Buds Pro 2 use a total of six microphones and feature an environmental noise-cancelling algorithm, Clear Voice Technology 3.0, and Wind Noise Reduction 3.0 that should improve voice clarity during conversations. Furthermore, when it comes to the connectivity, it is provided through Bluetooth 5.4. Additional features include an IP55 rating for dust and water resistance, Google Fast Pair, Microsoft Swift Pair, in-ear detection, a low-latency mode, and a Find My Earbuds function. Moreover, through the Nothing X app for Android and iOS, users can access custom EQ settings, a bass enhancement algorithm, customisable controls, Find My Earbuds, low-latency mode, dual-device connectivity, an ear tip fit test, and firmware updates. The earbuds contain a 60mAh rechargeable lithium-ion battery, while the charging case houses a 460mAh battery. A full charge of the earbuds and case via USB-C should take approximately 85 minutes, while the earbuds alone should be fully recharged in the case in around 60 minutes. Battery life is rated at up to 11 hours of playback on a single charge and up to 43 hours with the charging case when ANC is turned off. With ANC enabled, playback time is reduced to up to 6.5 hours on the earbuds and up to 26 hours with the charging case.
