Yea, the STG-44 is the first of the bunch - it's a select fire rifle with an intermediate cartridge (between pistol and 'battle rifle' in power, i.e. NOT a 30-06/8mm/7.62N and its ilk).

And the 10 round thing is utterly arbitrary - and doesn't accomplish jack.

Mr. Parkland (since I take the names of morons away so they don't get the fame they wanted) used....drum roll please.

10 round magazines.

Yeap^
I shoot 7.62 and 556 pretty regularly (all semi though)...and Makarov, 9mm Luger, .22, .32, and...lol

Agreed. My first gun. Sold it during the last ammo crisis when I gave up on .22lr. Fast forward a couple years and I have five .22's (3 pistols, 2 rifles). Prices on that ammo have basically gone back to "normal." Or at least close enough to it that I don't mind.

I'm not much of a 22 guy, I like the bigger flash and bang and am willing to pay the price for it.

Then again, I shoot most 7.62N out of a pair of 8.5" SBRs.

I can understand that. Most guys with the really "wild" stuff find it (22) too tame Bet those SBRs boom! I have a Zastava m85np with one of the newer sbt "braces" on it. So much fun.

Oh, it goes boom alright (and yet, I have a can for it too!)....



Photo taken before I got the MP5K-PDW, the Uzi is lonely because I never shoot it any more.

You ever use the cci quiets/colibri/cb shorts? That's what I use out back if I feel like plinking. Neighbors don't seem mind. The impact is louder than the gun going off (especially with steel targets).
Ps. I got another SKS! Early Chinese this time. Oh and updated that Saiga a bit (no more "sporting" stock).

I won't be affording any of those I don't think. Jealous.

Offer to trade him some pedals.

I actually haven't been shooting in a long time. I used to like Remington. Not sure they even manufacture the specific type I liked anymore.

I've shot CCI, but only standard velocity. It burned a little dirtier. I liked the Remington because it was cleaner and, hence, easier to clean up after.

Dad and I also used some off-brand Czech ammo because it was really cheap. That burned really dirty.

Nice on the SKS. One of these days I'll start shooting again and maybe get another rifle. Maybe?

Yea, sadly neither will I any more - I have four figures in tax stamps alone in the collection.

The only people that should have magazine capacity limited are cops.

There just train them better.

Average cop receives less training than a half-devoted civilian.

Sadly, they won't be shot. That stuff is artwork, not...firearms.

I gave my partner at the time a Walther Custom PPK she'd wanted, gold engraving, special shit out the wazoo.

Shop was appalled when we shot it.

She looked at them and muttered 'it's a gun, it's what it does' and dumped another mag.

.22's are stupid for anything but simple target shooting IMO. They are so fucking boring to shoot. I have to do long distance shooting with mine to make it even remotely interesting.

I hardly ever get to shoot anymore. That kind of depresses me. I need to get an AR though for real before the purge starts.

Stop trollin' me!

What's long distance to you for .22LR, 200 yards?

So, there's somethin' that makes you do math?
