What gun would you love to own?

[DJShy 873]

If I were to own a gun, I would like it to be...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

...A gun a made up that is a cross between a shotgun and a machine gun.

I don't think the Russians have any kind of patent rights on the AK. It's a bit like 1911s, everyone makes them.

 

I myself like the Czech VZ-58 more than the AK and think it is a better overall design.

 

I am a fan of every AK variant, and while I own a Yugoslavian AK-47, I definitely prefer my Czech VZ2008 over the Yugo. Such a beauty. Only thing is it has a metal folding stock instead of a fixed wooden stock, but it definitely makes it a lot more transportable and lighter.

So a USAS-12?

Or perhaps an AA-12?

Do either of those guns have rapid fire AND multiple bullets shooting out at once?

 

If so, then that is the gun I was thinking of!

No, they just stopped importing russian made AK pattern guns. We still get them from other countries and make some of our own.

 

iT's all AK pattern guns like the Romanian, west german or any Ak, parts or anything from the russian or around the ukraine area.  People have have know this was comeing for years ( it was mossbreg and others have been make 100% usa made ak here in the usa). the ukraine war gave them a resaon to bad them.  They ban 86,000 historical M1 Garand rifles   that we had gave to  Korea and they were giveing them back.

I have used the USAS-12 and if you like jamming or clearing jams then it's a great gun. there is a very good reason you never really see full auto shotguns.

I'd like to get a handgun, a rifle, and an automatic or semiautomatic weapon. None of it would be illegal. I would also get armor-piercing ammunition, if that's still legal by the time I can afford it.

 

These things would be purely for self-defense. I'd carry one of them on me concealed in public whenever it was necessary (and legal) to do so, and the rest I'd keep at home for home defense. I wouldn't go crazy and pull it out at the slightest thing, either. It's a last-resort type of deal. I also want to get nonlethal weapons like tasers and pepper spray to handle threats without having to kill anyone.

 

I take an interest in weapons, armor, and defense systems, but I hate violence. Still, violence is unfortunately a necessary tool in this world sometimes when one needs to defend themselves, and it's a tool I will not hesitate to use when I need to defend myself, someone I care about, or any innocent person.

Take it easy, you're among friends here.

 

No need to justify your choices to ones who already share the same stances on weapons and the justified use of violence.

There's only one gun I would 'love' to own.

The Baker Rifle. .625 calibre, and an Iconic look.

Not unlike my choice of a classic colt single action revolver.

 

 

While not typically a gunman myself, preferring swordplay, if I had to carry a firearm it would be the gun that won the west. Iconic look and still functional.

Primary weapon : two words machine gun .

Secondary ? Hmm assault rifle

[TopQuark 409]

I'm almost positive assault rifles are illegal in Canada, but I'm pretty sure this fine fire-arm made it through the legislation

there not you can get the colt AR-15 with 20'' barrel or longer or something that a P-90 or tavor 21.  they have just about the same rule as the USA now when it comes to guns but it's still best to check. AR,sks, mini 14/30, most rilfes that use a 10rd or less  mag are ok in the whiite north.

I know what none of those things are. Even if our fire arm policy is similar to the U.S.'s, you still don't really see guns around. I live in what would be considered a red-neck town in southern Ontario, and the biggest gun I've ever see was an assault shotgun in the car of a militairy policeman, and that was on a militairy base. The biggest gun that I've ever used was a 22 rifle when my scout group went ranging. And another thing, hand guns scare the heck out of me. I don't know how you Americans deal with the fact that there is probably a quick and efficient means of killing sitting in the car next to you.

 

I prefer swords, anyway. They may be capable of killing, but at least they're elegant and have some artistry to them.

The ColdSteel Austrian saber I have sitting on my shelf.

(Is that thing fully functional?)

 

The car next to me is also a quick and efficient means of killing. Plus not everyone owns a gun! I mean do non-Americans truly believe that in any given restaurant 85% of the patrons could pull a weapon out at any time? (Rhetorical question.) Plus your own body can be a quick and efficient means of killing as well. I know at least one potentially lethal technique.

 

I prefer swords as well though and for the same reason of artistry. It's a personal quest that I become skilled in the use of such weapons. The one I want to learn how to use next is a dao.

 

 

Why is their ability to kill something you see as needing a defensive conjunction though? Swords are weapons, they are made for fighting and killing . . . and?

 

Lastly, don't be so quick to dismiss the skill of a sharpshooter. You think it's easy to hit a target 30 meters away with a handgun? I know I certainly can't do it and that's the practical reason why I prefer the martial arts, I can't hit the broad side of a mountain with a firearm.

 

To keep this post semi-on topic. I would love to own this kind of gun.

 

 

Gun! Get it?

I've theorized a nice, perfectly functional, pulse laser rifle, and I could get started making it.....

 

You know, if I could just get that damn military-grade Co2 laser and a tritium fusion reactor.

 

And some microcanisters of liquid nitrogen.

 

And a 3D printer with a metal extruding modification.

 

And some tubing for the coolant....

I like how you actually have a plan in set. I have kind of an off and on opinion of lasers. Railguns and coilguns are the way of the future!

 

[Dust and Memories 557]

True, but consider how much the barrel will heat. In railguns and coil guns, while cool, the barrel has a distinct chance of melting. Never mind the fact that man-portable railguns need a hell of a electromagnetic field generator, which requires a large housing and lots of power, which makes it pretty much a man-sized tank gun. Lasers, on the other hand, can be efficiently modulated for power, and my biggest worry with my current pulse laser design is not electrocuting the actual laser and melting the lens. Therefore, the liquid nitrogen canisters. Slotted where an ammunition magazine would normally be, upon sensors inside the barrel detecting rising temperature levels, vents in the present coolant pipes open up, cooling down the system more. As a last resort, you can flood the whole laser chamber with a supercooled gas, but...well, I'm sure you can guess the problems with that.

Touche, but just as machine guns were once heavy support weapons before becoming as small as an Uzi, I'm sure engineers will eventually figure out a way to burn off the excess heat and an on board power source that can work it.

 

I'm guessing your theoretical pulse rifle would blow up in your hand if you added the gas? I confess, I'd be a security officer for Star Fleet, not an engineer if you catch my drift.

Ah, a Trekkie? That's new. *gives Vulcan Salute*

 

But pretty much, yes. The heat and the gas would either:

a) create a massive explosion

Or

b.) indirectly destroy the mechanism by having it become inordinately brittle and probably shattering the lens.

 

Also, with a Co2 laser, and various other gas-type lasers, you have to watch for heat all the time. Gas, after all, is ignitable. (Most of the time)

If I'm being truly honest, I wouldn't even join Star Fleet . . . I'd be a Jedi.

 

I see. With all of that going on then, how practical is a pulse rifle then? What advantages does it offer than a traditional chemically propellent slug does not?

[Dust and Memories 557]

With today's tech? It's not better. However, if we miniaturize the reactors enough, we can have a rifle that never requires ammunition, never needs to reload, and can never jam. Never mind that it can burn through steel at a certain power level......

 

And that it's badass. That as well.

[ThunderQuartz 8]

Any automatic or semi-automatic shotgun would do the job. I'd really like to try some more creative weapons though.

 

I admit I don't care that much about firearms but I'd enjoy to test a few things in shooting range.
