I'd rather die than give up my right to own a gun, so I guess you pray for my death ;) I don't own a gun, have never owned one but the day our gov't fears our citizens enough to ban guns is the day that gov't will find itself overthrown;)

Hey, the prototypes exist, and thats enough for me. And if you cant kill it with one HE 20mm round, you're screwed anyway... j/k

I havent heard they have been having jamming problems, but I havent looked into it, either. AFAIK, they mainly need to reduce the weight, increase battery life, and possibly reconsider the KE half. A 10" barrel used to fire a 5.56mm NATO round doesnt give it enough speed at the muzzle to fragment after entering the target, thus reducing lethality significantly. I think the easiest fix is to change caliber for the KE carbine. Maybe to either the 5.7mmx28mm to go with the high speed, small cal option, or back to 7.62 NATO (which I dont think is going to happen).

Ehhh, the AK is a highly rugged and reliable design, but I like accuracy too much

Is this before or after the race war you said you want to see?

BTW, the day all private gun ownership is banned, is going to be the opening day of the "federal employee/LEO" hunting season in the South.

The ban on hicap magazines is also part of this 1994 ban, so it should be going away as well........

Very nice to hear. :D

It is a stupid law, never should have passed, and should die a quiet, quick death.

I'm surprised they didn't force the manufacturers to stop making guns black while they were @ it:(

You mean like drugs???

Yeah, that worked well.

Classy, the gun ban will work as well as the drug ban. Guns will go underground, and only criminals will have them. It will be open season on law abiding citizens who, because of the ban, no longer can defend themselves.

You've been duped, Classy. You need to realize that government is NOT your savior.

i consider there are actually four classes of people that have weapons in the united states:
criminals, law abiding citizens, police, military.

now, we know that criminals will get any type of weapon that they want, but how often will they be using these kinds of weapons? for bank robberies? they definitely would not invade your house with an uzi. that's why i don't see any reason for law abiding citizens to have these kinds of weapons.

now for the police, i think that's a different story, i dont mind them having weapons that at least match what criminals would have, but they could only be used in special situations.

and what is the reason a law abiding citizen should not be allowed to own any gun? because you think so?

What kind of twisted, drug induced logic is this????

---Criminals will get weapons, no matter how banned they are.

---But criminals will not use them against law abiding citizens (even though they do every day)

---Even if they do, they wont use scary looking weapons, so we should ban those.

---Therefore law abiding citizens don't need scary looking weapons.

Huh?

As for an Uzi, do you even know what it is? In it's previously legal form, it's simply an oversized semi-automatic pistol that shoots the same bullets as any other 9mm semi-auto. It was banned because it looks scary, nothing more. Mechanically it is no different than a Beretta or SW.

It has NEVER been legal as a fully auto weapon in the US.

Maybe you should learn about guns before you advocate bans on them.

The AWB does not relate to fully automatic weapons in any way, shape, or form.

Glad you brought up bayonets, though. I know that's my preferred method of robbing liquor stores.

Honestly don't know what the Sheriff in Tarrant County does with apps, I understand that it helps to live in a rural county.

@ least @ last accounting, a legally owned machine gun has never been used in the commission of a crime...

IIRC, there was one incident involving a police officer using a Class 3 weapon in a revenge/vigilante killing. Mac-10, IIRC again

On the OICW with the Computer system in it . . . .Do you think we could overclock it ?
how would it score in 3d marks ? I'd use it for a first person shooter game !
