First up is my glock 19. GREAT 9mm! Its been upgraded with wolf springs, lone wolf ultimate trigger stop kit, and lone wolf 3.5 connector. Best glock trigger I've shot. I wouldn't use it as a carry gun but its great target setup.

Haven't been in this thread in a while...great gun I bought my G19 3 weeks ago after trying many Glocks at the range :D

Cheers.

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........

Hell yeah Grizzly Wintergreen. Good choice lol

Obviously being is Australia guns aren't really a big thing like in the US.

Is it wrong that looking though this thread makes me a little nervous?

I must admit though I do like the older WW2 guns. They seem fascinating. I wouldn't mind one just to collect, not to use. But I don't think we can keep those here.

Any more pics of those older style guns?

Why would it make you nervous? It's the people holding them that do things. These people are at a range. The bad people are not.

Yeah I know. It was kinda said tongue in cheek.

Ah, gotcha. I really miss my Colt Python. I shouldn't say it, but I used to have a beautiful 4" blue Colt Python. Like a frakkin jackass (or Kanye, whichever) I sold it. I had nowhere to put it because I was reporting to a ship at the time.

Ha! :D

That is exactly why I hate all the "tacti-cool" M4 carbines out there - it IS like barbie for men...and I hate rifles that have 20 accessories (half of them fake) hanging off them. drop it on the ground and all those silly lasers and optics will break. :rolleyes:

I don't particularly rate the AR-type rifle anyway - the FAL/G3/M-14 hits harder, the Kalashnikov is more reliable and cheaper, and newer PDWs like the P90 are better for short-range situations. It's an iconic and proven combat weapon, but I don't quite understand the love-fest. I'm not a big fan of the 5.56mm cartridge though, which probably has something to do with it. ;)

I do like that 203 though, lumping chalk grenades with that would be fun.

Most people that haven't spent much time around guns are nervous with them.

Sure! ;)

I'll do better than that, and give you a British and an Ozzy rifle to boot:

Nerf...

At some point I plan on purchasing a Glock. Just don't know when. Until then, here are some pics of my nerf collection that I use as office decor. Not many folks mess with me at the office. :)

I have 22 guns. 20 of them are Nerf branded.

Yes, it is a sickness. A little less expensive when compared to some other folks in this thread. :D

Very nice NRose, the optics on that thing alone cost more than most of my rifles do. ;)

Some day I'll probably get an M1A National Match, but I want a Garand first.

A £50 Nerf gun? :eek: And it has a scope!

I didn't realize that those things ever got that pricey....I have four or five real firearms that cost less. Of course, I can't shoot them in my house. ;)

Sweet .308! Are you by chance on snipershide or snipercentral? I'm CarlsonCustoms there also.

I am expecting my snipercentral rifle package to be delivered sometime late November. I'm pretty excited.

The NERF machine gun looks epic fun!

£50 at the moment in the UK, but should be a lot cheaper in the Christmas sales.

They are a blast. I've modified several of them as well. Nerf really restricts most of the power that these guns produce, but they are very capable of some long range action. :D

Some of the guns are priced fair. Others are not.

My old boss believed in workplace fun. I've taken that same approach with the team I now lead. Our "battles" are never more than just a few minutes, but it does keep up entertained. I'll post a few more pics shortly.

Thank you for letting me share these in this thread. :)

I'd like to modify the sniper rifle. I've noticed on nerf forums (yes they have those) that people can get over a hundred feet on it. Lots of parts to mess with though, so right now I'll take the 20 feet it normally shoots.

Shotgun looks great, but isn't performing well at the moment. :(
