[g_shocker182]

How bout a glock 9mm?


Are you serious?

[galactica]

how about this

THE WORLD'S SMALLEST HANDGUN

scroll down until you see that title.

[The village idiot]

9mm is somewhat weak. A compact 40S&W or 45ACP would be a nice powerful gun, but both will be slightly larger than a 9mm. Ultra small, but less powerful than a 9mm, 380 auto or 32 caliber or even weaker 22 longrifle (as opposed to 22 short). They will all kill someone if used properly. 22 & 9mm & 45 will be the cheapest for target shooting, which I assume you will want to do to make sure that you can hit your target if you ever need to do so.

357 and 44 magnum are also fantastic, but much larger, and often only in revolvers.

I am a Beretta 92 according to this....
Suits me just fine

[testicool]

I'm a glock 17

[testicool]

This is what I would get.



Sig Sauer P226. Greatest gun ever! Feel special. Beautiful and reliable but can still scare the living bejesus outta anyone.

9MM's are weak. I have heard of guys taking 15 rounds and they keep coming! Get a 40 S&W, .45 ACP or a .357 Sig Auto. Much more bang for the buck.

If it were me I'd get the compact glock 40 S&W or a compact Sig 357 Sig Auto. I have an H&K USP 9MM and which I would have got the 40...

What ever you do don't get some crappy no-name brand or you will find they can be extremly un-reliable! Nothing worse than a gun that jams when you really need it! My H&K for example has never jammed, ever. Before that I had some crappy no name 9MM thats jammed every other shot.

[Devanshu]

Galactica, I'm a beretta also

Anyway out of curiosity, how old are you mol and why do you need to carry a gun so bad? With recent events, last thing I want to do is give advice on what gun to carry to a minor.

You're right. If you got money get something like these. They are .45 ACP Springfields like the ones used in the movie "Face Off" by Nicholas Cage.

Galactica, I'm a beretta also

alright!!!

I think we are all wanting to know that, but he/she seems to have wandered off....

ah well...

Well, the way I see it is if he/she is bent on getting one he/she might as well get a good one regardless of age Besides it's illegal for minors to buy guns anyway. It's the seller who is responsible to determin if he/she is old enough, not us...

[testicool]

I wanna get myself one of these... anyone know what kind it is?

[Hatz]

I am probably way off but it almost looks like a modified M4.

But like I said......I am probably way off and the only guns I know about are the ones on Counter-Strike :P :P

[MOVIEGEEK]

"I wanna get myself one of these... anyone know what kind it is?"

My guess she is a female homo-sapien(AKA Gina) :P

Seriously...it's a Colt M-4 with a silencer which is highly illegal in the US.

[thayne]

It could be a bushmaster too, they make clones of the colts. It looks sweet! One of my buddies has a compact AR-15 which is kick ass. Acurate as hell. What I wanna know is, why the ear plugs???? Maybe ist's not a silencer. It could be just a counter weight. It looks like a competition rifle more than an assult rifle to me.

[testicool]

Seriously...it's a Colt M-4 with a silencer which is highly illegal in the US.

Is the gun illegal or the silencer. I thought you were allowed to have a silencer?

[thayne]

silencer's have been illegal in the US since before I was born, which was a long time ago!

[testicool]

Then why can you buy them? And why are people using them in half of the pictures I saw?

[thayne]

Where can you buy them? Like I said before I seriously doubt that is a silencer. If it is why is she wearing ear plugs???

[Hatz]

So I was right?? Wow.....I guessed right with the M4.

Looks like playing video games does teach you something.......gonna go call my parents now and rub it in their faces. :P

Good point...it's probably a flash guard.

HOW TO BUY A MACHINE GUN OR SUPPRESSOR

[testicool]

Here is some more info...

Can I Legally Own a Machine Gun, Suppressor or Other Class 3 Weapon?


The answer depends on several factors. The state in which you must reside (see below) must allow for the possession of the weapon(s). Machine guns, suppressors (silencers), short-barreled shotguns, short-barreled rifles, and any other weapons (AOWs) [e.g., flashlight guns, pistol grip short-barreled Mossberg-type weapons] are classified by the National Firearms Act (NFA) of 1934 as Title II weapons. The NFA is Title II of the Gun Control Act of 1968. Title I weapons are handguns, rifles, etc.


Federal law also provides for an individual to own a Title II NFA weapon. Individuals (Non-FFL holders) may purchase and own machineguns that were made and registered before May 1986. Such machine guns are classified as "Transferable". Suppressors, Short-Barreled Rifles, Short-Barreled Shotguns, and AOWs are still manufactured. Non-FFL holders may only purchase an NFA weapon from a dealer or individual within their own state (same as buying a handgun). If the weapon is located out of state it must be transferred to a class 3 dealer within the state, before transfer to the non FFL purchaser.

Generally, you must meet the following FEDERAL requirements to own a Title II NFA weapon:

Be a US Citizen at least 21 years of age Be of a sound mind Not a person prohibited from receiving a Title I firearm Never convicted of a felony Pay a one-time Federal Transfer Tax on each weapon purchased ( $200.00 for machine guns, suppressors, $5 for AOWs) Complete BATF Form 4 in duplicate, which includes: (1) Obtaining the signature of the "Chief Law Enforcement Officer" (CLEO) in your area signifying that he has no knowledge that you will use your weapon for anything other than lawful purposes, and provide a reason for the "reasonable necessity" to possess the weapon described (2) Provide two (2) sets of fingerprints (3) Provide two 2"x2" recent photographs NOTE: Items 1 through 3 above are not required for corporate ownership of NFA weapons, reducing approval time significantly.

If you have your own corporation or are an officer in a corporation, the corporation can acquire these weapons and you, as a corporate officer, may be able to possess the item(s), take them to the range shooting, etc. just as if they were registered to you, provided you are acting within the confines of the corporation.

It should be noted that in states where it is ILLEGAL for an individual to own, carry, transport, or be in possession of a machinegun or any other NFA weapon, corporate ownership is NOT a viable option (e.g., South Carolina). If the corporation dissolves, the item must be transferred to another individual, corporation, or dealer. If in doubt, check with your local Class III dealer.

After approximately 90 days, during which time the FBI performs a criminal background check, you will receive your Form 4 from BATF. Only after the transfer is approved can you take possession of your item.

Machineguns are ILLEGAL for individuals in DE, DC, HI, NY, WA,
Class 3 dealers are allowed possession in CA, IL, IO, KS, MI, NJ, RI

Silencers are ILLEGAL for individuals in DE, DC, HI, IL, MS, MT, NY, NJ, RI
Class 3 dealers are allowed possession in : CA, KS, MO, MN

For additional information on ownership and laws regarding NFA weapons, please email Evans Howell or refer to the links page for related web sites.

[thayne]

The sheriff or chief of police or state police, whichever is YOUR Chief Law Enforcement Officer must be willing to sign your Form 4

Good luck getting one of those licenses! Regardless, it's illegal for the average joe to own and you can't just go down to your local gun shop and buy one.

That first link is a manufacture. You can't buy them from that web site. From a quote on there site it looks like they make them for militaries:

Above all, the Reflex Suppressor is built to fulfil or exceed military standards and stand for harsh military use.

You can't buy them from the second link either, not without the license...

[Will Hay]

ummm where do you live?

something like this should work nicely.

Kinda strange to link to site outlining one of the worst gun tragedies in the UK for an irresponsible thread such as this.
Even stranger is it comes from a moderator who should have closed this thread down.
What's most bizarre is the 'laugh' emoticon at the end of the post, what's that all about?
Baldrick has closed gun threads down in the past when they have simply discussed the validity of gun ownership, yet here you are advocating the choice of a weapon.
Well done.

Looks like a blonde about 5'2"

[The village idiot]

I just noticed that he said for in his book sack. In many states it is illegal for an individual to carry any firearm on campus, also any of the lower level schools. You might want to check on this before spending a large sum of hard earned cash for a firearm. And we are all assuming that this is going to be purchased in a legal manner, and used in a legal manor. Just like we assume that a downloaded video file is legal until you say that it is of an unreleased movie. So if this firearm was used to gain possession of something like a DVD of Underworld, you would be in trouble :P So far no politics have been mentioned, and last time I checked firearms are still legal in many parts of the world.
