    Considering a FAL. Talk me out of it.

    I like military semi-autos (small, complex machines make my inner scientist coo with glee) very much. I only own a WASR-10 (which I love like hell). I've wanted to get into longer distance shooting, and I'm told, among other things, that FALs are nearly as reliable as AKs and highly accurate...

    Visiting Houston, driving from Florida.

    Since Florida is basically the Gunshine state, it's a rare day that I don't have my WASR-10 in the seat next to me. Yes, I'm a bloody poor college student, it's my only gun, I can't afford another, and I'm NOT TWENTY ONE YEARS OLD so don't tell me to buy a pistol, because I can't. Sorry for the...

    Xenophobia is the root of hoplophobia.

    Today, your average anti-gun American might regard a foreigner as stupid; his accent makes him hard to talk to. His clothing is strange. His customs are bizarre (what's that he's drinking? is it even legal?). And he regards a drawling southerner with the same xenophobia. This man's clothes are...

    "Assault weapons were designed for trench warfare."

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9rGpykAX1fo They're also attractive to those of us bent on mass murder. The other side gets to resort to absolute fabrications. Why can't we lie, remind me? "Guns are made of flowers and they shoot rainbows." would sound good.

    For the nerds: If guns were computers...

    The AK would be the Mac of guns. Functions flawlessly, but by and large utterly incompatible with all other computers (OS X can't mount an NFS share. You figure that one out.). It can be used by everyone, even grandma, but some nerds know exactly how it works. Mostly immune to malfunction, and...

    What would the legal status of this weapon be?

    http://world.guns.ru/handguns/hg156-e.htm It is actually a perfectly silent pistol. No suppressor required. http://world.guns.ru/ammo/a_sp-3-1.jpg This is what it fires. You can see how it works, how the piston violently jumps forward in the case and strikes the actual bullet itself. The...

    AK FCG group help: Stuck hammer axis pin.

    I cannot seem to get the hammer axis pin either completely out or back in. It's backed about a millimeter out and I can just barely see the bottom of the head thereof. The hammer tilts and moves freely, but I cannot get the pin to go all the way back in or come all the way out. Any ideas? I...

    Every liberal on my college campus seems to be pro-gun.

    There was a vegan picnic the other day, held to encourage the formation of a Peace Studies department at my college. I tell you, they were hardcore hippies. Dreadlocks, long hair, I'm sure a lot of patchouli oil, big peace signs and anti-Bush stickers everywhere. They wanted money to put a...

    KA-BAR for self defense?

    First of all: No, I cannot buy a pistol. I can't buy a pistol. A pistol is a thing that I cannot purchase. I am under 21. I cannot purchase a pistol because I am under 21 and this is a reason that I cannot purchase a pistol. If I did have a pistol, I could not carry it. This is because I am...

    Making an AK nicer without going all blactical tactical?

    So, I was very lucky when I got a WASR-10 in such great condition. A cook must have owned it, because it's impeccably clean. The bore is SO clean I'd eat out of it. However, like all AKs, the trigger is just okay, the Shepherd's hook is made of wire, and a notched safety lever would help put...

    Tell me about reloading/casting for the AK.

    I want to reload for a few reasons. First, the plain and simple nerdy fun of reloading. Any excuse to screw around with math and small explosions. Second, for the SHTF value thereof; to be able to make, almost entirely, my own ammo, out of practically any lead I can find...that's a desirable...

    The antis have taken over. You have to give up your guns.

    It's two weeks from now and the the antis have somehow, in two weeks time, gained complete control of the entire government. Seeing as how this is my hypothetical little world which hasn't and probably can't happen anyway, tell me how you'd react. Don't tell me it couldn't happen, or that it's...

    Any muzzle devices that brighten muzzle flash and louden report?

    What about ones that INCREASE recoil? Sometimes, you just need an insanely bright, violently-kicking, unthinkably loud rifle. Mostly to impress girls.

    Are there any California-legal adequate-capacity AK magazines?

    I'm not sure if their AWB permits one to purchase 10+ round magazines manufactured before a certain date. Mandatory disclaimer: I AM NOT LOOKING TO BREAK THE LAW. I AM ASKING IF SOMETHING IS LEGAL. Read the disclaimed a few more times. I'm looking for a gift for a friend. If they DO...

    Extremely bad idea: Muay Thai vs Boar.

    So, basically, I'm not going to be PC in this topic. Please realize before I start that I DO respect the animal and DO intend to use the meat thereof, should I ever do it. So, basically, I saw people hunting wild boar with only knives. That's insane, but not insane enough. I got to wondering...

    Armed home invaders duct-tape family.

    http://www.heraldtribune.com/article/20081119/BREAKING/811190249/0/MISC I spent a lot of time in that city when I was younger.

    Best place to buy .308 bullets?

    Looking to reload for 7.62x39mm. Any places have 1000+ quantities in stock?

    Legal to openly carry a KA-BAR in FL?

    http://www.thehighroad.org/library/blades/knifelaws.html According to this, it is, but can someone find the relevant statute? I would be carrying on my belt, clearly visible to anyone who was paying attention. No, not as a weapon. I just like my knife, you know?

    Legal to carry/conceal Kel-Tec SUB-2000 in FL?

    For an under-21 who can't buy or conceal a pistol, I'd been thinking about a Kel-Tec SUB-2000. They can't be fired when folded, and they fold to about 16 inches. I know, it's not as quick as a pistol, but it's better than nothing. Is this legal to carry in FL? On my person? How about...

    Importing ammo?

    How is it done? Do I just call 1-800-RUSSIA and ask for Wolf? I assume there are crazy, insane legal loopholes to go through. I wonder how much a cargo container of ammo costs. I'd make good money if I raised the price 1c a round.
