    .22 mag vs .17hmr for target shooting

    .22 vs .17 .17 definately has the accuracy edge at 100 yards but the ammo is more expensive and harder to find at this point in time.

    Best submachinegun?

    Sub Gun In the military I shot the M3 .45 cal "greasegun", which was alot of fun, controllable and packs a punch. They are more affordable, easy to maintain controllable and all steel construction. I think a company named "Valkyrie" sells a semi auto grease gun, I've seen auctions at...

    308 vs 30-06 in semi-auto hunting rifle

    .308 vs. 30-06 The 06 will shoot heavier bullets better, and have a slight edge in velocity. However, the .308 is much more plentiful and I tend to favor calibers that are current US military/police issue. If you reload, both calibers are great, but you may find .308 casings cheaper, and will...

    M48 Mauser testing (pics included)

    Black rings I agree with the other posts, that the soot marks are normal. I think that as pressure is building in the shell, a little seeps around the neck untill full pressure is reached. Then the rest of the case is stretched and pressure sealed against the chamber. I find that I get more...

    New Ammo For U.s. Military

    google search it, every time the US goes into a major conflict the national debt doubles. Nice... humane bullets? When I was in the tanks, a threat was a threat, we were trained to shoot our ammo. Boots on the ground will tell you they want to shoot to kill, frangible or not, troops want the...

    Bullet expansion from a snub 357 mag

    I think snubs fill a specific roll, I used to carry a S&W titanium hammerless 1-7/8"... it fitmy hand good and also a pocket or a pancake. But it was specifically last resort. Talon, Glasser, Silverpoint, it all gets nominal performance out of a sub 2" barrel... no matter how much one wants...

    Bullet expansion from a snub 357 mag

    I just joined and already you are insulting me, lol, the jokes on you foo. Ive put a few SABOTS and HEAT downrange too. But getting beyond your silly bantering.... a snubnose is a backup weapon best suited for last resort, as any LE would tell ya. Thats why its a back up.... balistics show...

    This Passed the Illinois General Assembly on Wednesday

    Overeating and traffic fatalities causes more cardiac complications and death than firearms... lets ban food and cars... the whole crux of the 2nd amendment is to prevent the government from taking over it's population, giving the citizens a last resort of self empowerment. It's already...

    .223 ammo for home defense

    I'm a master of .223. I've shot thousands of rounds and reloaded thousands. I've done penetration tests of .223 and seen firsthand terminal balistics. The best home defense round is a 12 gauge #6 shotshell, hands down. Won't go through multiple walls and will take the fight out of a bad guy...

    Bullet expansion from a snub 357 mag

    Ummm, ok, well thats a great reply, I must say, lol.... but a 1" 45 +p+ just aint gunna have the same "pukability" as a nice 5" Kimber now, is it? Staying strict to the subject a snub nosed pistol is a 13 foot gun if that, and if your lucky, you might get 3 off before the purp stabs ya...

    Bullet expansion from a snub 357 mag

    A snub nosed anything is meant to do one thing.... puke a slug out. If you dont like the balistics or stopping power of a snub nose then step up to a gun that has the barrel length and caliber to utilize velocity and muzzle energy....noob

    Who packs heat after they've had a few?

    I don't drink and carry, or go shooting after consuming booze. My little brother was shot dead on accident by his buddy during a drunken show and tell of a new .40 cal pistol. His buddy was a tuff-guy type with 3 years of military too... the mag was out but a round was still in the chamber, it...

    Where to get the best deal on .308?

    I agree, I think the Lithuanian .308 shoots very well in my M1A SOCOM... It's very good quality, accurate, non corrosive, reloadable, non magnetic, and can be found online. I get mine from The Armory's online store. Takes about a week to get, signature required at delivery. I bought 600 for...

    Are machineguns in general purposely made inaccurate?

    My experience with machine guns is limited to military weapons. I've shot the M-16/ M-4, .45 grease-gun, M-240 .308 and M-2 .50 from the M1 Abrams platform. The coax machine gun in the tank is way more accurate than the loaders M-240. This is because the coax is mounted to the turret of the...

    Any feedback on Lithuanian .308 ammo?

    I just bought 60 rounds of .308 Lith stuff to look over and testfire. It was '03-'04 production. I wanted to have a test batch before popping for more, because I was a little nervous about the quality, never having seen or shot the stuff before... Ive been shooting for over 20 years, have...
