I wish I was more of a photo takin' kind of gal back when I had guns. I had a 9mm Glock, an AK-47 and an AR-15, briefly. (all legal) This always trips out my british husband... he thinks yanks and the gun culture is a bit strange. (it is, really)

but nevertheless, I have these lousy old photos...

I could never go back to live in the UK, it too difficult now to part with my collection. Funny thing, I learned to love firearms when I lived in the UK (I was born and reared there).

Rifle used here is my trusty Blaser R93 in 7x57mm cal. Normally loaded with RWS 123Gn ammo for deer and vermin

quote for coolness

I like the hunting outfit, and the tweed trousers (pants).

well here is some of mine

my all purpose hunting rifle 7.62 x 51mm or 308 winchester.

Where I live I need nothing more for bear, elk, deer or cougar.

my pride and joy

Bushmasters 5.56x45mm or 223 winchester AR15 with gas piston system.

and my wife's AR15A2.

First gun - .40 cal Glock 23

How much did you pay? Its used I assume since its not a current gen model (no finger grooves) Its nice you got 5 mags. I want to start buying more mags for my G19 but $25 a pop sucks.

I keep pining for another glock but theres alot of other guns I want to buy first.

Is the Silenced Shotgun from No Country For Old Men even possible?

Never seen anything like that before in Cinema, TV or Gaming before.

I paid $450, came with 3x10 round magazines, and 3x13 round magazines, the fobus paddle holster, and night sights. It is not the current generation, but it is pristine, and is supposed to have had less than 200 rounds through it. I'm waiting to get paid Friday so I can afford ammo and range time to go shoot it.

Yes it is possible to supress a shotgun, but it won't be anything like what it sounds like in the movies. Very rarely does a movie accuratley demonstrate what a supressed firearm sounds like in real life.

Can I ask why you need all those magazines? And please don't say "protection." It's actually frightening to see how many people own assault rifles. To own = willing to use= willing to kill. :cool:

Seriously dude, I'm getting sick of some people posting threads with stupid comments like "why do you need that?" etc. etc.

Please leave your non-gun loving opinions at the door and just enjoy looking at everyone's collection.

Jeez you ever notice how people who own guns don't rag on others about why they don't have one? To each his own, if your comfortable knowing that the police will be there to help you in 5 minutes, then so be it.

Now for sake of the picture thread, I shall share my AR15 and my newest addition, my Glock 23.


.....and yes I have 10, 30 rounds mags for my AR........

Or there could be a logical explanation, such as when you go to the range to shoot you're able to shoot for more than 5 minutes without having to reload magazines. See, there is a good reason for it.

Also, do you realize there's nothing inherently more 'killer' about an 'assault rifle' than any other rifle? They're still just semi-automatic rifles. The only practical difference is the look and removable magazines. You still get one 'bang' per trigger pull, shooting the same cartridges, etc etc. In fact, your average hunting rifle (say, a .30-06) is far more deadly per shot than an assault rifle shooting a little .223 round.

Just bought this baby in military auction. It was pretty cheap. Wasn't sure whether to post it here or in Post Your Car thread.

Why is it frightening?


Why do you need a Mercedes when a Yugo will get you to the same place?
