Guns.......

[thetroy]

It's for defense against terrorists =P

[GodOfRhythm]

All those sharp edges on that HK417 make for some uncomfortable situations. Anyone that has had to carry a military weapon for any length of time knows exactly what I am talking about.

Dude, you're clueless! It's for when you run out of ammo, you can throw it at them or rub it between their legs for some REAL pain!

Yeah definitly, it would certainly be lots of fun to fire one once or have a go with one on a range. But owning one or having one in the house is an entirely different matter.

Bunch of reasons

1) Because you can
2) Every once in a few 100 years, the civilians of a nation have to defend themselves from a gov't gone awry
3) If you handle them safely, they are not dangerous (people are)
4) There is nothing scary about them, they are no more dangerous than hunting rifles, but frequently use "weaker" ammunition - although my Belgian Designed FN-FAL is a hell of a hunting rifle.
5) They are very interesting mechanically
6) Why half-step when you can have a kick-ass rifle!
7) Militarily and Historically significant, and functional.
8) Great defense against an impending Zombie Attack(headshots are best I've found)!

What in the name of hell do you need an ASSAULT weapon for? This sort of thing always baffles me.

I was wondering the same thing, I dont trust guns in anyway, they have really done nothing "good" in the world

buy Airsoft, I have an Airsoft M-16 & M-4, but we only use them for filming short films

I suppose I also have a paintball Shotgun in the house too.

Thank God I dont live in an area where I feel a gun is the way to protect myself

Notice the trigger lock on the most dangerous rifle - WWII British Lee Enfield No4Mk1
Feral Hogs consider this my assault rifle.

I've always wanted an M4 Carbine with a grenade launcher. I used to play Delta Force a lot, when it first came out

When I finish the college, I plan on buying a handgun, but at this age, I think it would be possible to buy a hunting rifle. But first, I need to get an hunting license.When you go to a shooting range and use their guns and bullets, it comes out to be pretty expensive. So,buying a hunting rifle may be the best choice for a hobbyist, at least in my country.

Oh goody, a thread about guns!!
Let battle commence!

Why is it the most dangerous? Does the trigger go off by itself?

[Rsmacker]

I used to have that problem, but found that deep breaths, and thinking about fishing helped me through it. I can bang away all night now!

Naw,

I thought it was funny that with the "scary rifles" in there, I left the trigger lock on the simple old Enfield. It holds 10 shots and the bolt can be fired very rapidly, built like a club, and idiot proof.

Also lighter than the M1 garand. I actually shoot it more than almost all the rest - well, the heavy bbl and the AR15 are up there in frequency of use.

It's the one that goes hunting more for nasty pigs than the rest, that's the dangerous part - for the animals.

Noice!

Picture this, you're out hunting in the woods and you stumble across an escaped pride of lions, what are you gonna do? You need to "eliminate the threat" to let the children be able to go in the woods without being assaulted.( by lions, they already need to watch out for crazy homeless people)

Conclusion: You NEED an assault rifle and a nad launcher to protect yourself and your first amendment rights, nuf said .(Napalm would be cool to have to! )

[442w30]

nad launcher?

Is that RSmacker's weapon of choice?

[Super_shredder]

i thought his was a goo gun?
