This thread is to discuss what guns you own, or plan to own (or would like to own). If you want to discuss other posters' answers, that's fine, but do NOT derail this thread by complaining about gun ownership or gun control laws, or anything like that. You can discuss this policy with mods or in website feedback, but violators in this thread will be warned or banned depending on the severity of the offence.

I didn't think it was that hard to understand, we aren't 'winning' any arguments here because we aren't having any.
thats fair enough and i agree with you but im just calling it like it is. Its just a wierd statement to start your thread with. If you were so confident in your gun ownership you shouldn't mind to thwart some other idiot who doesn't agree with your views.
But back on topic if i ever were to lose my mind and buy a gun, Id get the rail gun from quake
It's not a big deal responding to one or two people about why gun control and why it isn't unethical or something. This is TL though, where half the people come from non-USA countries who generally do not have favorable views towards guns. IMO, if it wasn't made clear that this was a thread about and for guns, then we would have spent the whole time discussing gun control instead.

Btw, your pistol picture isn't showing up, do you mind linking another image? I've tried google but there seems to be several looks for that pistol (the ones who remind me of Medal of Honor are awesome XD)
The only thing preventing it from being used for hunting are fudds.
The .223 round sucks. It's a varmit round. You can use it to hunt... varmits. Can't guarantee clean kills on a deer with it.
yeah, i would much rather get an AK, and this is part of the reason. i know you can get a ar chambered in something higher than 223, but i still prefer the AK style ^_^

That's why our nation hunts people with them? The standard XM193 might suck a little bit, but hits at 600yd+ is worth it. The MK262 or the 77gr BTHPs from Hornady (loaded right) will do a shit load of damage and maintain flatter trajectories.

The .223 is a light round that is fairly accurate. That's all that is has going for it. A good marksmen can kill any medium game with it. Which is deer, moose, humans, yotes and bears.

my uncle went to North dakota for 6 months for work and came back with a legit greatsword. It was the funniest thing when he pulled it out after he was pulling out everyones gifts

According to the interwebz .223 and 5.56 x 45mm is not the same kind of ammunition either even if their dimensions are almost identical so that would explain why one is only good for small game and the other is a military round.

It's not the same but they are similar, the 5.56 was derived from the .223.
I picked up a Smith and Wesson Model 60 in .38/.357 last week :D. Currently have some Hornady Critical Defense .357s for carry and some soft .38's and WWB .357s for target shooting. Here's a random internet picture of a Model 60 if you don't know what they look like.
Right now i own two guns. First is an original Colt Kadett Revolver 912, classy but very rare.... Second one is the futuristic but bittersweet and vicous Sugarballer. You can obviously see im into all the bandwith of handfire weapons. Although i always get a boner touching them and pointing peoples heads, i would only use them for self defence of course or to save national security (even though it would be legal to kill the bastard who steals my newspaper every now and then, and i think we all agree that people who steal and rob deserve to be shot...)
Since i got kind of a large backyard, im thinking about getting this beauty, just to shoot some helpless rabbits or hedgehogs, well just for the kicks, i dont eat meat anyway

When people say .223 they usually mean 5.56 here in America. Probably not int he military, but definitely among the civilians. 5.56 is just .223 loaded hotter. And it also goes down to semantics too. 5.56mm is .223".

I own(ed) a Glock 19 but since my gun permit expired in February and i was denied renewal of the same(yeah the country/MIA can deny this without giving explanation whatsoever), it has to stay in a safe. And I'm envious at Americans(especially in the south) who can obtain firearms with great ease Also at some point of my life I'd love to have my very own S&W 500, Beretta m9/92fs and a H&K mp5(it's nearly impossible to obtain permit for automatic weapons here)

So you have to Lose your mind to buy a gun? Sheep are scared of "dangerous things" i guess.
you really think that guns are just "dangerous things"?
I dont have to lose my mind to buy a gun thats easy to do. But to delude myself into thinking i need one id have to lose it.
But i totally understand the need for fully automatic ak's just cause its your hobby and your right!. Hookers and blow are my hobby i would like that legalized as well please.
If you want to criticize gun ownership or talk about gun control, in this thread, don't. Every gun owner has heard it a thousand times before and that's not what this thread is for. Don't respond to it either. Feel free to ask about gun ownership, i.e. price, why we own guns, the process of getting them, etc.
ROFL this is great im gonna start prefacing everything i talk about with this. I will now be able to win every conversation i have ever been in because if anyone talks about something i dont like or asked them not too i can just get them banned because I make the rules about what people talk about.
User was warned for this post
I don't want to win anything in this thread. If I was interested in Pokemon and wanted to talk about game play and the general trend of people was to come into any thread that had anything to do with Pokemon and bash on the game and say people shouldn't play it, how am I "winning" by making it clear that I only want to talk about game play?

Yet another person not knowing what their talking about. fully auto Ak's aren't legal. Though to be honest they should be legal. keep letting the media tell you how to think, i'm sure it will work out well for you.

Mainly a portable gun to shoot relatively cheap and accurate rounds at short to medium long distances. Also, to have in case of a break down in the rule of law, for example, Hurricane Katrina. I do think there is a small chance that a similar or more severe and prolonged situation could happen.
The picture still works for me but here is the closest one I could find with a quick google search. Mine has cutouts on the trigger and hammer and the trigger and barrel are silver colored. + Show Spoiler +
