what kind of automatic rifles do you have?

For those of us in slightly, er, how can I put this, gentler parts of the world, this thread is jaw-dropping.

If the Taliban ever get to Colorado, they are in for a tough time. I suspect, though, that all this Rambo weaponry will ultimately result in the demise of a few rabbits.

At least I hope so.
 
or in my case huns head/Q targets on the range, and pigeons and rabbits with the air rifle, rabbits are tricky critters to bag... slightest thing out of place spooks them, why i love my Ghillie suit, sit up a tree above their runs in a field, only problem then is you'll probably wake up a kestrel and boy it'll have an appetite and scare your targets off :icon_lol:
 
Rabbits? Must be a different breed over there. Here, even I used to hit 'em with an old .22, and none of your nancy-boy telescopes either !
 
ahh only time i use a scope is when i'm on the range behind the L96 or AW50F, i use a .22 ratcatcher for rabbit hitting, ratcatcher with a supressor, and the standard sights, only once or twice used the scope... but also have a bipod for it, rabbits don't know what hit em!
 
My Marlin in 44-40 is my all purpose gun. I use it on everything from tin cans to deer. The low power target ammo for the small stuff and the good ammo for large game.

Living in Illinois, they are all on record as purchased anyway. FOID card sees to that. Plus, I have a Curios & Relic license issued thru BATF I must log each purchase too. They know what I have, it's all legal and until the rules change, I'm not worried. After the rules change the creativity begins...:icon_eek:

P.S. In the Peoples Republic of IL. Class III weapons are not legal. Unless you are grandfathered in prior to the ban back in 80-something or so. Even then you must apply for permission to take it somewhere, legally. Gov't for you.:kilroy:

I was born in Illinois and left for Arizona in 74. They kept after me for a year or so in Arizona for moving the guns without a permit until they finally gave up.

I suspect within a couple years we will have to bury them to keep them.
 
Illinois, D.C., NYC, Massachusetts and California...they are the worst offenders. I loved living in CA, but will never go back unless they start to respect human rights.
 
Ridge that somehow looks a little unfair even for a prarie dog
i could change your user name to Rambo
H
 
Hey, prarie dogs had just as much time to develop shoulder-launched, rocket-propelled explosives as humans did...
 
well you can't really miss the little critters with an RPG can you, even if they don't get obliterated the concussive force'll do the trick! actuall it'd kill and partially cook at the same time.... great thinking Ridge!:icon_lol:

A Ghillie Suit!
For Rabbits??????
You have got to be joking!!
:icon_eek:
I learnt to shoot rabbits with .22 Browing single shot bolt action 'gallery rifle', and 5 rounds allowed, no rabbits collected and all rounds expended earned me a thick ear!
We did use a 'Wookie Suit' in Bosnia ....... but that was different.
 
not just for rabits, i like to cast no human silhouette, which they can easilly attribute, used to have a CO2 air pistol, lie under the ghille downwind so they don't sense me weapon forwards get one inside 20ft night night bunny! at the moment my ghillie sees more use at airsoft than anywhere else, no1 likes tripping on a pile of leaf litter with myself and an airsoft P228 amongst it :icon_lol:

Looking at the above, I'm sure someone can tell me:
1. What's the difference between a semi-automatic and an automatic?
2. How hard is it to convert a semi to automatic?
3. WTF would a civilian do with a fully automatic weapon???
Click to expand...


Well actually, mine are semi's. You can convert an M1 Carbine to full automatic (the M2 was an automatic version of the same rifle), but to do that to me would be like chopping up Magna Carta and using it for 3m sticky notes.

Obviously, your mileage may differ.

As for why you need an automatic?....well, why do you need a car that does more than 75 mph??
 
Never wanted to kill anything that didn't want to kill me and the urge to want guns left me when I was about 12. Still we're all God's creatures I suppose.

Oh dear, oh dear.
Good God man what has your life been like to want this?
 
It is documented that Yamamoto had advised against an invasion of the mainland United States, due to their being "a rifle behind every blade of grass". He knew this from his time spent studying at Harvard. Their was gun registration in nazi germany, and of course guess what people were banned from owning guns... I think we all remember what happened next. Not trying to spark political debate, just a friendly reminder...for every joan of arc, there is a hitler on the other end of the teeter-totter.

"a complete P*$$ take so far"

basically was born in Greece, nice and hot, then family thought it would be better for me in england, grey and rainy as we know, bad news i found a liking for weaponry while i was in the Air Training Corps (Spaceys :icon_lol:), found i could get 5 shots with a 22 inside the size of a 2p coin first time out shooting... things progressed a bit, fired my first L96 when i was 14 over 250 yards, hit the target second and third shots (first shot to check the scope) and the rest as they say is history... :icon_lol:
