Weapons? What do you own?


Recommended Posts

When dressed casually she usually wears slacks or jeans with belts, and the M&P lives in either a Crossbreed SuperTuck or MiniTuck IWB (me too) - depending on her outfit. In skirts she wears a thigh holster or carries in a purse or fanny pack holster, but would like a less bulky option - hence the idea od getting an LC9.

Nice! Does she have the compact version? I can't imagine my full size M&P being in an IWB. I have my Glock 26 for IWB. I would like to get a S&W Bodyguard at some point because of its size.

She has the compact, and I uaually carry the SIG Sauer P250 subcompact or P239, both in .40 S&W - both being nail drivers. The P250 is a chameleon - you can swap calibers (9mm, .357 SIG, .40 or .45) or size (sub, compact or full) in <2 minutes with no tools. I have the sub & full kit (2-Sum) in .357 SIG, .40 and .45).

In the uk we cant carry or own guns really as far as i am aware but i would love to be able to go to a range and release some energy lol

not even sure if there are gun ranges here lol

Our small city has at least 6-8 firearms dealers, of which 2 are also indoor ranges. Within 25 miles of us are 2-3 indoor / outdoor ranges, both with trails that offer 3D game and tactical targets. All the ranges, and several police departments, offer concealed carry & tactics classes - using pretty much the same certified instructors (most all cops or retired copss.)

Just about every department, hardware and sporting goods store carries shooting supplies & ammo for both pistol & long arms. Even at the hypermarkets like WalMart etc. you can get a box of ammo with your groceries.

You can legally own guns in the UK. Albeit a bit more restricted than here in the U.S. Found this with Google:

yeah but this

Do applicants have to prove why they want guns?

Applicants for firearms have to show ?good reason? for possession of each and every firearm.

I don't think because i like Guns and want to own a few would get you passed the checks to own one lmao

Took my Ford Explorer off roading today to a secluded area of the woods on our property so I could verify the zero on my 30-06 before modern gun deer season comes in next month. While we were out there I also pulled out my AR-15 and let my brother squeeze off a few 5.56mm rounds since he'd never actually fired one in real life outside Call of Duty.

I have to admit though, I knew a 30-06 was a strong round, but I was surprised. I was firing 150 grain Federal, soft-point Power Shock rounds. We found a good size tree and stapled some paper targets to it, and 3 rounds with the 30-06 totally decimated a paper target instead of just punching through it and put a nice size indention on that side of the tree.

Seen that before Moisture in the tree vaporized into pressurized steam, plus a reflected acustic shockwave, caused a back-pressure that had nowhere else to go but back at the paper - taking wood splinters with it. Impressive exampple.

I love the 30-06 and have hunted with a Remington 760 BDL Gamemaster (pump rifle w/fully floated barrel - now upgraded to the 7600) in that caliber since the early 1970's. A nail driver that is also rather light and fast. A classic in North America, and AIUI in Australia.

That said - the rifle I love to hunt with the most is my T/C Hawken in .50 cal. That thing'll drop anything in the woods with one shot.

Makes sense, it was about 6 in the evening in a small wooded glade right next to a creek, and the weather here has started to cool off lately so evening dew was starting to settle on the grass.

That's a very nice .50. I wouldn't mind having a million dollars and the chance to browse your collection, :-)

Yeah, LadyHawk (her name) is a pretty girl, but with a big bite. With a 500 grain hardened bullet she's been known to shoot straight through a small tree and drop a deer on the other side.

She's a nasty deep woods rifle, but you'd best eat your Wheaties before shooting full big game loads ;)

Here's some closeups of the brass fittings, fold-down Creedmore sight, adjustable double-set / double phase triggers, action and her walnut stocks complex grain. They only used this quality of wood in the early run.

Finally got me an honest to goodness gun safe. I've been shopping around for a while for a decent, not particle board cabinet, or a cheap safe, and found this modular one for $170 at the local KMart. I looked at Wal-Mart and all they had was these huge, bullet proof, fire proof, time traveling safes for like $500+, and there isn't a Cabela's for a couple hundred miles now that I've moved back home to Kentucky. This one was made in the U.S and can be reconfigured 3 or 4 different ways to store up to a max of 18 long guns, or down to as few as 3 with a crap-ton of shelves. I think the brand name is "Stack On". It's even got wedges to screw into the rifle rests for rifles that have scopes that props the rifle out further from the wall to prevent the scope from resting against the inside of the cabinet. The only problem I found after I got it home was that my carbine AR-15, even with the telestock fully extended, was too short to reach the point where the barrel rests sit, and without drilling holes there's no other place to put the barrel rests that is low enough to accommodate it so I had to use some of the screws and nuts to put one of the stock rests flat against in one of the pre-drilled holes low enough for it to rest on.

This thread is pure SEX, too bad legally owning a weapon in India is very expensive & cumbersome procedure. Maybe in another life i'll be a gun totting, peace loving American.

Yeah, it's fun comparing our weaponry (Y) :)

I know a gal who I wish would post her toys; she owns a Barrett .50 BMG sniper / anti-light armor / anti-material rifle, plus a few other high-end boomsticks - though not much beats a m****rf*****g Barrett when it comes to breaking things.

Been wanting to get a handgun for home defense and shooting at the range for fun. Talked to my grandfather who's got a million handguns and conceal carries a Kimber Pro Carry II. Said he'd take me shooting and everything and to a gun show. No clue when that would be. Reading forums ain't cutting it anymore. :(

    • Nothing kills CMF Phone 2 Pro's successor due to rising memory prices by Hamid Ganji Storage and RAM prices have been rising over the past year, leading to a significant increase in the cost of electronics for customers around the world. Many companies are now revising their plans for upcoming devices due to higher component costs and overall production expenses. CMF is the latest company to cancel the successor to one of its best-selling phones due to rising memory prices. CMF is a sub-brand of Nothing and focuses on making budget smartphones for growing markets. The brand launched the CMF Phone 2 Pro last year with some eye-catching specifications and an affordable price. While many customers may have been waiting for a successor this year, one of the company’s executives has announced that CMF will not release a new smartphone this year. And AI is to blame. As Nothing co-founder Akis Evangelidis announced on X, the company has been working on a successor to the CMF Phone 2 Pro, but with current memory prices, it cannot “build a phone that feels like a genuine step forward at a price that makes sense for CMF.” So, no new CMF phone will be launched this year. Meanwhile, Evangelidis said the company still has several new products in the pipeline, including some in entirely new categories. He added that the Nothing brand will also continue launching new products through 2026. Budget smartphones are among the first victims of the surge in RAM and memory prices, as they have become more expensive to build. The sharp increase in memory costs could also reshape the traditional price ranges associated with budget phones. Apple CEO Tim Cook also recently said that price increases for some of the company’s products are unavoidable because RAM and memory have become significantly more expensive this year. Analysts estimate that the base price of the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro could rise to $1,399 due to current market shortages.
    • Nudge me when they bring back hardware audio acceleration so I can get my EAX 5 back. We've evolved graphics to real-time path tracing, but regressed audio some 15 years back in time with this stupid software audio stack.
    • Ocenaudio 3.19.4 by Razvan Serea  Ocenaudio is a full featured, fast and easy to use audio and music editor. It is the ideal software for people who need to edit and analyze audio files without complications. Ocenaudio also has powerful features that will please more advanced users. To assist ocenaudio development, a powerful toolset of audio editing, analysis and manipulation called Ocen Framework was created. ocenaudio is also based on Qt framework, a well known library for cross-platform development. Cross-platform support ocenaudio is available for all major operating systems: Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. Native applications are generated for each platform from a common source, in order to achieve excelent performance and seamless integration with the operating system. All versions of ocenaudio have a uniform set of features and the same graphical interface, so the skills you learn in one platform can be used in the others. VST plugins support Ocenaudio supports VST (Virtual Studio Technology) plugins, giving its users access to numerous effects. Like the native effects, VST effects can use real-time preview to aide configuration. Real-time preview of effects Applying effects such as EQ, gain and filtering is an important part of audio editing. However, it is very tricky to get the desired result by adjusting the controls configuration alone: you must listen the processed audio. To ease the configuration of audio effects, ocenaudio has a real time preview feature: you hear the processed signal while adjusting the controls. The effect configuration window also includes a miniature view of the selected audio signal. You can navigate on this miniature view in the same way as you do on the main interface, selecting parts that interest you and listening to the effect result in real time. Multiselection for delicate editions To speed up complex audio files editing, ocenaudio includes multi-selection. With this amazing tool, you can simultaneously select different portions of an audio file and listen, edit or even apply an effect to them. For example, if you want to normalize only the excerpts of an interview where the interviewee is talking, just select them and apply the effect. Eficient edition of large files With ocenaudio, there is no limit to the length or the quantity of the audio files you can edit. Using an advanced memory management system, the application keeps your files open without wasting any of your computer's memory. Even in files several hours long, common editing operations such as copy, cut or paste happen almost instantly. Fully featured spectrogram Besides offering an incredible waveform view of your audio files, ocenaudio has a powerful and complete spectrogram view. In this view, you can analyze the spectral content of your audio signal with maximum clarity. Advanced users will be surprised to find that the spectrogram settings are applied in real time. The display is updated immediately when altering features such as the number of frequency bands, window type and size and dynamic range of the display. Ocenaudio 3.19.4 changelog: Adds fallback fonts so every language and symbol displays correctly Improves autosave and session recovery stability Improves region navigation and display Fixes a crash when the level meter is used on displays with a scaling greater than 200% Fixes memory corruption when using the silence selection tools Fixes crashes when closing a file while effects are still being processed Fixes a freeze when applying effects to many files at once (macOS) Fixes crashes related to audio devices on Windows Fixes invalid file names when exporting regions whose label is used as the file name Other bug fixes and improvements Download: Ocenaudio 64-bit | Portable | ~40.0 MB (Freeware) Download: Ocenaudio for Linux and Mac OS View: Ocenaudio Homepage | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware

    • This got me thinking, would you rather a self driving car prioritise protecting its passengers or everyone else? I'd choose the one that keeps me and my kids safest. At some point, these cars have to make those choices already, don't they? Wonder if we have a way to find out what way they lean.
