Brutal.

It's painful just looking at it. If that gun could talk it would say "Please, please kill me". :D

The only problems I've had with mine, I blame on TulAmmo. That stuff runs really dirty it seems. In under 1,000 rounds of that stuff I had one stovepipe, one double fire, and a squib load (a squib load!). After I stopped using TulAmmo, I have had zero malfunctions in the few hundred rounds I've...

Here's some ratings (there may also be a hidden safety factor for these):

Honestly I'm not sure how that would work. The good soft vests are rated for .40s&w, but that's at a certain velocity. I don't know how fast you would need to push a .40 for penetration. But .40 should be easier to defeat than 9mm because of the larger cross section (at similar velocities).

Um, except you need a hard plate to stop 5.56. It zips through IIIA and lesser levels of soft armor.

Wow, ALL of that sounds like a bad idea.

My mistake, the source was Associated Press. I figured it would be correct by now. :rolleyes: :D

https://www.google.com/amp/abc7ny.com/amp/news/police-shoot-armed-suspect-wearing-vest-on-staten-island/1687304/ Both are situations where a rifle caliber is very helpful. First one, for shooting through a truck, second one for the suspect with body armor.

Here's a couple incidents from 2009: "Police said 41-year-old Jiverly Wong was wearing a bulletproof vest when he burst into the American Civic Association in Binghamton on Friday morning and killed 13 people before taking his own life. Richard Poplawski, 23, was wearing one when he killed...

It's rare, but it seems to happen every couple of years where a person who decides to kill a bunch of people randomly dons a vest. Also, vests are very easy to acquire (as they should be). Gang members are sometimes caught with them when the cops find their weapon stashes.

That and penetrating body armor, which .40 is going to suck at.

Possibly the dumbest decision I've seen by a Police Commissioner.

Also TheFirearmBlog videos are interesting sometimes.

I watch Nutnfancy sometimes, if I have the patience for a long video. I really like his reviews, but I don't really care about his preparedness/philosophy videos.

Ugh, the weather looks bad this week. Looks too cold for the range.

Wait, how do you load an AK with a mag lock?

Sorry to hear that. I'm surprised it's taking that long.

At the top near the title there should be a tab for "thread tools". Edit title is under there.

Over here in the Buffalo suburbs my power went out from around 5pm to 9:30pm. Not too big of a deal for us.

Lol, I'm not saying it's the same pic. I just always find that meme funny, no matter what it says. :D

I have a new scope coming in so now I can try the 100 yard challenge this month! So just waiting on that.

I feel sorry for the people hurt, but those numbers look about as good as possible give or take a few.

Ok, I agree there's not really a point for non-duty to have any rifle they want. The only positive is that it could be used for arguing against the Safe act for the responsible ownership of 'assault weapons' since they are citizens like the rest of us after all.

Obviously they need some kind of rifle. The point is to penetrate body armor. I guess you could limit them to safe act compliant rifles, but honestly I don't care about that. Two wrongs don't make a right, we'd simply be making more people comply with stupid laws when we should simply be...

Sounds like Wisconsin's gonna loooose.

Sorry, I'm done now. Now I know that out of state mail order ammo shipments to house are %100 rock solid legal. Mission Accomplished. Edit: or should I say %100 not illegal :confused:

Are we just arguing semantics?

I don't know what the answer is for the book part, it's not clear in the code. But isn't it irrelevant for mail order purchases from out of state companies? That's the real question.

Which part currently restricts mail order sales? Part 7 only applies if there is a system for background checks.

I get what you're saying. I think we can all agree that it is legal to receive a shipment of ammo to your house from an out of state company though, right? Is everyone on the same page? :D :deadhorse:

Wait, it sounds like you're agreeing with everyone then on the ultimate answer to the thread question? But just disagreeing on the 'why' part? Or maybe I misunderstand.

But what's your point? Haven't we established the "book" is irrelevant for out of state purchase anyways?

This thread is ridiculous. S400.03 is ridiculous.

Now that's real stopping power. :D

Price lowered to $270 and free ship to Northeast locale.

They just haaad to go with a trigger safety, didn't they. :rolleyes:

Shot a pistol for the first time today! A Springfield XD mod.2 5in 9mm, pretty sweet. Another month and I should have my own.

The Kershaw Oso Sweet is what I've been carrying lately. Just standard steel, but the edge holding is good enough for the light use I put it through and it's easy to put a razor edge back on it. I took the clip off and keep it down in my pocket. It sits pretty comfortably.

I just went back and read Heller. Lol, did the 4th circuit judges even read it! :ROFL: The next sentence after the one that was referenced says why they're wrong!

We're so damn screwed. :(

Just to sort of conclude this thread, I've been getting better groups with my new trigger the last 2 trips, so I think that may have been the main problem. I've been getting closer to about 4 MOA (2 in at 50 yds, w/ some standard ammo, nothing special), but I think the barrel itself can do...

Yeah, too tricky to mess with the scope and stuff. I'm going for more of a general purpose rifle with this AR, so I like the lower power scope for that.

But I'm currently in second place, Wooo! (Even if it's a long way from first, ha)

At 100 yards they would all get covered up by my crosshairs! :confused: lol

Homemade bipod or monopod?

5+6+8 = 19 points 5.56 AR-15 w/ Vortex Spitfire 3x scope 25 yard, offhand, standing Winchester White Box .223 (Feb. 20) Geez, that was harder than I thought it would be! :eek: I almost hit the one 10 pt bird but I could see a bit of white around the hole so not counted. Maybe I would've been...
