Show us your lead-emitting tools (guns, that is). Pic heavy

Can I ask how much is a 5.56mm NATO round (or a box of it), and also 20mm rounds? Thanks.

How about 40mm grenades, and M72 LAW rockets?

There you go again, 2100. Always interested in the biggest bang per buck and the longest throwers.........lol

No, because i fired them before during my national service in the Air Force (infantry based in there). It was for free.....we can't fire nothing here for nuts outside of the military.

I know what you mean. The UK isn't much different these days. No pistols whatsoever, No self-loading rifles (unless they are .22 rimfire) and Shotguns 3 round capacity max. Far different from when I was a lad.

5.56mm Nato goes for $7-$20 per box of 20 rounds the price varies wildly as does the quality of ammo. I usually buy 1000 round box when they go on sale for about $200, since ammo doesn't go bad if stored properly.

Purchasing owning and firing heavy guns like a 20mm requires a very expensive tax stamp that very few people buy same goes for full auto tax stamp for that is $200 I believe.

I see, so 5.56 is not that bad i guess, something like 1.75" consumer fireworks per round/shell. :)

50BMG is the largest round in the US (without a destructive device permits) although there are some old rounds that exceed .50 in diameter that are exempt. Kommiefornia 50BMG is outlawed. No grenades or claymores. No full auto but we can bump fire although it is complete waste of ammo.

They tried to make me purchase a destructive device tax stamp for my Street Sweeper 12 round 12 gauge after I had owned it for a couple years, yeah right.

So those youtube vids of those miniguns/bigger calibres, they are fired only at a gun club's range and locked there?

12.5mm is still plenty big, still give you that punch in the chest when 10m away. :)

I went to a club and rented some full autos for my birthday tons of fun but very expensive. They typically charge a buck a round and a 30 shot clip goes in seconds. I tried about 10 different weapons. I have some videos I can post if anybody has a particular weapon they want to see. The Glock 18 full auto 9mm pistol was my favorite and the AK47 bruised the crap out of my shoulder.

.50 BMG isn't banned in Cali, only 50 BMG rifles so in a stupid twist Semi auto M2 belt fed guns are legal but single shot rifles aren't. NFA weapons (machine guns, AOWs like shotguns that never had stocks with barrels under 18 in. in length (which are actually legal in California) guns with bores above .50 if not otherwise exempt, "sawed off shotguns" and silencers) can be stored in the home like any other gun.

If you want to go really big bore without the whole DD laws look up "12 ga from hell" it is about a guy who has built up some .72 in barreled "shotguns" and even bigger or you can look in to muzzle loading cannons, you can go as big as you want legally, people build bowling ball cannons from high pressure cylinders all the time.

Read his post on GUNCO. He does some wild stuff taking the Shotgun exemption to the limit. There some very talented and good guys on Gunco. One of the cool effects of the bowling ball mortars is the holes in ball make a whistling projectile.

Yeah, 50 calibre and bowling balls.

Nice....brings back memories on my army days.

No new hardware here. The gun laws just keeps on getting more ridiculous every week. You (well, at least the U.S based members) would not believe the shit they'll put us though just to buy another pistol. And that crazy guy who shot kids in Norway didn't help at all. In here it seems like we - the law-abiding Finnish sports shooters - were responsible for that crap. Or at leasts that's how the left-wing media brings it up.

Anyway, more nicer events. I finally got to B ranking in local IPSC production division. Lot of work to be done to get to A, let alone Master, but we're on a right track anyway. I just wanted to show you my competition gear.

- Beretta 92 Stock

- 7 Meg-gar magazines, 3 of them 17 rounders (the ones with colored base plate) and 4 15 rounders. Now that only 15 rounds are allowed per magazined in Production, all my mags are competitive.

- Sickinger Speed Machine quick-draw holster

- CR Speed belt

- 3 Safariland 771 adjustable mag holders. I always take the first mag from my pocket, so depending if the stage starts chamber empty or loaded I can take 60 or 61 rounds to a stage. So far it has been enough. Rules limit the highest minimum shot count to 32.

- Peltor SportTac II active ear protectors. I actually won these from a lottery in one less formal shooting competition. Very good protection, the active part is less than impressive.

The go-to guns in this division in Finland and I suppose whole Europe are Glock 17 and CZ 75 Shadow. I like shooting with a more rare gun and I don't feel like giving any advantage. The 92 Stock is just pure goodness that has taken a form of a gun. And finally, I never go to a competition without my dedicated race shirt. Arsenal Gunners (pun so intended) away shirt (of 2009 I think) with custom name and number:

Gotta love the 'Eagle... .50AE?

Fortyfiveauto

What is the rifle on the far right with the bull barrel and the scope?

I'd bet on 10/22 Tactical. Some kind of 10/22 it is for sure.

My first gun when I was 10 was Ruger 10/22 it's a timeless classic and it has come a long way. It does look just like this one.
