Inquire unto the l'Cie.

[Nix]

Depends... which knife?

[Orodrist]

The Bark River Vest Pocket Bowie.

And I'm still considering that pack too.

But...the .303 ammo is special milsurp stuff. See, the Mk VII cartridge has a wood, paper or plastic cone inside of the jacket, lightening the tip. Means absolutely nothing in flight, but one the round hits a soft target it destabilizes and starts yawing violently. Basically a screw you to the Hague Convention. What it means practically is, I can use a more stable and accurate FMJ spitzer round hunting instead of round nosed soft points, giving me greater effective range and accuracy with no cost to terminal ballistics. And for when the aliens and zombies come of course <_<

I'd also get some Aguila SSS .22 LR rounds. Because 60grn hollowpoints sound really fun.

Oddly enough, they reputedly get 24in of ballistic gel penetration.

...

The FBI minimum for defensive use is 12-18in.

Please explain?

[Nix]

Nice knife.

Higher quality .303 ammo is probably the way I'd go, considering the amount of knives you already own. Do whatever you want though, I guess. XD

And... that makes no sense. I mean, why don't the FBI just use that thar 60 grain .22 stuff instead? XD

[Orodrist]

I think bullet mass might have something to do with it. Then again JHP's in .223 are like...36 grains iirc XD

Boar hunting?

[Nix]

Weird. Maybe it's just a well sharpened bullet.

I'd love to go, but none around here that I know of. Don't even think there are any in MI...

[Orodrist]

Apparently, the state parks near my cousin have people cull the population.


Understand why it's said an Enfield can get a second shot off while a Mauser's still cycling?

[Nix]

Man, that's a nice gun.

How much do you think a decent one of those goes for?

[Orodrist]

Dirt XD

I got my 1916 No.1 MK III for $230 + tax with a scope. It's been sporterized, so no historical value, and I can't load with strippers. Only difference with the No. 4 is the sights iirc.

Otherwise...well, I found this. Yeah. Dirt. Cheap. But I'd demand pictures first.

Want pictures of mine?

[Nix]

Man... I want one of these. They're a fairly decent shooter, then? I've always looked at the older guys, but haven't ever seriously considered one due to their age. But if I could find a decent one... I'd jump on it.

And dude, I'd love pics. o.O

[Orodrist]

I'll try to get some up tomorrow. I'd do it now, but my camera's dead and I leave for college in a bit.

I can't personally say how mine shoots yet. The range has this "eye protection" rule. Me? I was taught on a redneck range. "here's ear plugs, here's a rifle, here's ammo, don't shoot anyone" XD

I'll get my glasses in a couple weeks or so. Let you know then. But I've not heard bad things about them. Basically of the three World War European battle rifles, it's supposed to be the second or most accurate, highest capacity, and the least recoil. It also fires the most pricey ammo XD.

Should I get a Mosin Nagant or Chilean Mauser next?

[Nix]

Ah. Eye protection? What's that?

<_<

Hmm... dunno. A Mosin Nagant sounds pretty awesome. I've looked at those myself, and have liked what I've seen so far. Don't know much about the Chilean Mauser.

[Orodrist]

It's basically a Mauser firing 7mm as opposed to 8mm Mauser. The 7mm Mauser is more or less ballistic perfection.

Fringe?

[Chozon1]

BEEFY?

Fringe?

Ah, cool.

Fringe? It. Freaking. Rocks. Soooo fun. I'm only a ways into the first season, but love it. If you've not seen it, do. o.o

BEEFY?

Beef anything is normally good. Unless it's a fat filled piece of meat and tastes like crap. <_<

[ArcticFox]

Warp speed, hyperspace or stargates?
