true, fags posting to get +1 postcount, anyways... I would like to own one, An Ak47 N****! [they have modified versions that only shoot one bullet when triggered] although an automatic would be nice :laugh: :D :D

i'm only 17 so i cant personally own a gun yet, but my dad owns a lot of guns (somewhere around 18 or so, last time i counted) so I have a lot of experience with pistols, shotguns, and rifles...i do plan to own at least one gun sometime in my life. i kind of like the idea of getting a concealed weapons permit and carrying a gun with me, but it's a hassle and can get you into trouble even if you're not really doing anything bad (like when you get pulled over for speeding or something, you're required to tell the cops that you are carrying a gun...so when my dad did that, the cops kind of all freaked out and called for backup even though my dad was just sitting in the car and doing nothing out of the ordinary....)

we'll see....i do think gun safety education is great, even for people who dont own guns....at least, in emergency situations, they can keep their wits about them a little bit better

:cool:

Yes I do. I own many guns, at one point when I was 19 and 20 I was collecting them. I'd post pics but the guns are no where near me (they are at my father's in NY actually) but if you want a list of everything I have still I can post it, dunno why you'd want the list tho ... lol

I don't own a gun, I never will own a gun.

Since I don't break laws then I don't need one.

I don't know anybody in jail, anybody who's been to jail or anybody that's been arrested.

I have never had my house, my car, my parents house or my parents car ever broken in to.

The only house that I have ever heard of being burglarized was somebody who bragged at the office and their co-worker's teenage son attempted to break in. He was arrested at the scene.

I have confidence that the cops would arrive within a few minutes of dialing 911 and I don't fear for my own personal protection nor my family's.

There are ways to modify the gun to fire as an automatic. I just can't remeber at the moment how

I used to have a 12gauge sawed off maussberg and a .38, but that was a long time ago, i have no need for em anymore.

it's Mossberg, btw...my dad has one of those. you cant hit the side of a barn with it....even if you're inside the damn thing....but it's mainly just for home defense. if you have an intruder and he happens to come within about 10 feet of you, he's screwed...

have you ever shot an AK-47? or just in counterstrike? i've actually shot a fully auto one before. it was fun, but it's nearly impossible to aim and goes through a lot of ammo. i guess if i somehow become massively rich or something, i might get one. but until then, i'm not going to waste the money. i rather start off with a nice handgun or something. :cool:

interesting points i guess....the only reason i ever learned about guns was because my dad. the only reason my dad ever got into guns was because his life was threatened. it was about 5 years or so before he ever owned anything other than a crappy handgun, but since then he has obviously branched out because it is a fun sport. still, you make good points. but i support my dad with his choice. if my life was threatened like his was, i would have done the same thing (although i guess my view is a little bit biased, but there's not really much of anything that i can do about that)

no because i am smart

how does not owning a gun make you smart? when you touch a gun do you automatically lose 50 I.Q. points or something?

i'm not trying to be picky, but i'm just a big fan of gun education. i think if we had more gun education (not necessarily more guns, but more gun education) a lot of the fear and rumors and myths about guns could be resolved for the general public

    • This Chinese company is reportedly developing a feature Apple and Samsung can only dream of by Hamid Ganji While companies like Apple and Samsung have been relatively conservative with their devices’ battery capacities in recent years, Chinese manufacturers have taken the competition to the next level by introducing significantly larger batteries. However, the latest report from China suggests that a local company may already be developing a smartphone with a whopping 14,000mAh battery. Chinese leaker Digital Chat Station claimed on Weibo that a smartphone maker is developing a device with a 14,000mAh battery. If true, it would be the largest battery ever used in a smartphone and could, in theory, provide up to a week of battery life on a single charge. The leaker did not reveal the name of the company behind the device, but there are some clues. This week, HONOR unveiled the X80 Pro Max in China with an 11,000mAh battery and 90W wired charging support. The company also launched the Honor Win in January, which packs a 10,000mAh battery. HONOR, a former subsidiary of Huawei, has a proven track record of developing smartphones with unusually large batteries. However, other Chinese brands, including Xiaomi, have also launched devices such as the Xiaomi 17 Pro Max with 7,500mAh batteries. Though Chinese users on Weibo also believe the company behind the new battery is HONOR. Interestingly, Digital Chat Station said the device with the 14,000mAh battery weighs around 220 grams, making it lighter than the Apple iPhone 17 Pro Max (233 grams) and slightly heavier than the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra (214 grams). The iPhone 17 Pro Max currently packs a 5,088mAh battery in eSIM-only versions, while the Galaxy S26 Ultra features a 5,000mAh battery. Neither device is expected to see a dramatic increase in battery capacity in its next-generation successor. So when it comes to battery comparison, Chinese brands are unbeaten. HONOR smartphones are currently available in the EU, but the Chinese brand has no official presence in the United States due to restrictions imposed by the U.S. government.
    • Qualcomm takes on NVIDIA with new Dragonfly CPU and AI chips by Pradeep Viswanathan Microsoft, Google, Amazon, AMD, Meta, Apple, OpenAI, and several others have been developing their own chips for AI infrastructure. However, NVIDIA still remains the dominant player in the market. Today, Qualcomm announced a major expansion of its data center infrastructure portfolio to better compete with NVIDIA. The new lineup includes the Qualcomm Dragonfly C1000 CPU, Qualcomm High Bandwidth Compute technology, the Dragonfly AI300 inference accelerator, new connectivity products, and custom silicon solutions. Qualcomm claims that this new lineup improves performance per watt, token throughput, and total cost of ownership for AI data centers. The Dragonfly C1000 is a new data center CPU built with Qualcomm’s custom Oryon cores. This chip will feature more than 250 cores, frequencies above 5GHz, and a chiplet-based design. Qualcomm claims that this new C1000 can deliver more than 2x better performance per watt compared to existing server CPU offerings based on specifications. The Dragonfly C1000 will support PCIe Gen 7 with more than 2TB/s of connectivity, along with CXL, advanced RAS features, and both air and liquid cooling. Qualcomm expects the Dragonfly C1000 to be commercially available in 2028. Additionally, Qualcomm and Meta announced a multi-year, multi-generation agreement under which Qualcomm will supply Dragonfly C1000 data center CPUs for Meta’s next-generation server fleet. Qualcomm also announced High Bandwidth Compute, a new near-memory computing architecture designed to address AI’s memory bandwidth bottleneck. HBC Gen 1 will debut with the Dragonfly AI250, which is expected to sample in mid-2027. The AI250 will deliver 133TB/s per card, an 18x increase in effective memory bandwidth compared to the AI200 with LPDDR5X. The new Dragonfly AI300 with HBC Gen 2 is a rack-level AI inference platform from Qualcomm. Qualcomm claims that the AI300 can deliver 4x to 8x better performance per watt compared to existing GPU-based architectures based on memory bandwidth per watt per card. The Dragonfly AI300 is expected to be available in 2028.
