Yes, cops face the exact same threats civilians do (copy all beaver, but I don't have a better wording). Can you name me a threat police officers face that I don't have any chance of facing myself? The people they go after are in public.... You know, where I am. And unless you're clairvoyant you don't know the intentions of anyone around you. So tell me: why does the NYPD need an M4 with 30 rounds but I don't? Is it more likely for a civilian to be assaulted violently or a uniformed police officer? I know they aren't carrying those weapons for my safety since SCOTUS has held there is no duty for them to protect us. And yes, these laws were passed by people being actively guarded (in a statehouse) by armed men who were and are excluded from the provisions of it.... I don't know or care who has 24/7 coverage so dont make assumptions; fact is: all those officials felt a need to be guarded by armed men that day, and every day they meet. You know otherwise? Instead of calling hyperbole, why don't you prove me wrong? Or you can admit that your liberal buddies stood on the graves of children to pass freedom hating, crime encouraging legislation as soon as the political winds felt favorable, and you've been duped into supporting them in the past but have now seen the errors of your ways; I'm fine with either of those responses.

No, possession of a magazine capable of holding more than 10 rounds is going to be illegal; I think new Yorkers have a year to sell them out of state. 8-10 round mags still legal (granfathered in) but only allowed to have 7 bullets in them.... And all new manufactured or purchased mags must be 7 rounds or less. No discussion of keeping one in the chamber. I haven't read the exact wording, but the assumption right now is that cops will be exempt from these laws and the NYPD will still have assault weapons and 17 round mags for their Glocks; which is ridiculous since civilians face the same threat cops face. Even more ridiculous since the people who passed the law are all protected by body guards who aren't affected by the law. Truly a case of hypocritical elite shitting on our founding principals.

It's an HK; that's been the standard photo shoot for decades.

Bingo. Also of note, the Pak Taliban recently killed several workers administering vaccinations because of the leaked connection between that program and finding certain HVI's. Words have consequences, and secrets are supposed to stay secret.

You sure about that?

France isn't helping the rebels in this case. AQIM in northern Mali is a serious enemy; we'll see how successful this spring offensive is.

Are you talking about the lack of water or the floride issue with water which is why housing gives out free 5 gallon water drums to residents? ETA: not a Clovis resident, just got an earful from a buddies wife.

That helps a ton, thanks for the SA. I'm surprised the BX on Lackland doesn't sell weapons, the one on Eglin is actually pretty good and Im hoping they haven't been paying attention to the rising prices so I can score something decent when I go home next week; assuming the 7 SFG guys haven't bought it out yet. I'm kicking myself for passing on a few really cool .22's last time I was there. Thanks again for the rundown of KSAT area ranges, just looking to do some plinking with family.

M2, I'll be in San Antonio in the next few days. Can you recommend a good shooting range? Also curious if it's worth looking on base at Lackland or any of the bases to see if they seek decent guns in the BX. Thanks.

Beware: I bought a gun on gunbroker.com by calling the seller (had to get some questions answered first) and dealing with him directly. Was promised the gun, but then didn't hear back from seller with the address he wanted me to send money to. Looked online and noticed the seller had put the item back up (taken off after our deal) & relisted the item, which is now 800$ more than the original buy now price. I think this d bag is cashing in on the gun fear. I'll handle the complaint with gunbroker, but be wary. People with no ethics are cashing in.

Yea, I don't want to ignite the DI v piston thing, I already bought it; plus there are quality and shitty manufactures for either op system. Not a debate i care about. Just wanted to see if anyone had one for a while and issue _______ (insert whatever) presented itself. Thanks for the answer.

Maybe the same people who think banning the sale of pistol grips and flash hiders for semi-auto rifles will prevent school shootings?
-
So I kind of jumped on the "gun ban fear" bandwagon by throwing down for a LWRC M6A2; it's not cheap but I had been contemplating it for a while and after watching rifles increasing in price I just said fuck it. Anyone own one or any LWRC product? I've been a stalker on the LWRCI forums, but would appreciate info from here.

I have a USP 9 full size & Sig 226, so not .40 but still a comparison betwee full size offerings from each manufacturer. Both good weapons, so you won't have any QC issues but there are clear differences between the two and if I could only have one it would be the USP, no doubt. The HK has a much better trigger, it feels lighter and quicker. I found the HK factory sights superior to the night sights that came with my Sig, but have since bought trijicon sights for both, so no issues there. The slide release is harder to reach on the HK and awkaward to operate the first few times. I'm accustomed to it now, but it's a bit weird at first and an area where the Sig will feel more natural. I also bought my USP when HK was still doing that ridiculous proprietary rail on the bottom instead of standardizing it with pretty much everyone else in the industry, so attachments are more expensive. That said, if you buy a newer HK design like the P30L (which I'm looking at now, but haven't bought yet) the rails are standard. No issues with the Sig WRT rail interface. Both are easy to take down. Both point and balance well, although the clear winner in feel and draw is the HK to me. The things that put the USP over the Sig IMO are the trigger, the weight and balance, I like having a safety over just a decode like the Sig, the factory sights and I also much prefer the mag release. The USP literally shoots the mags out and gives a very audible click when they are fully inserted. The Sig is fine, but nothing special. Hope that comparison helps. Note that all things HK (like new mags) will be more expensive. Worth it in my book.

Looks pretty good.

It says "should not" not "can't."

Thanks for the SA. I wish I could have done weapons school, seems pretty cool.

What happens during ME? I know nothing about red flag/nellis/WIC, etc. Wish I did, but I don't.

Auto Ground Collision Avoidance System Survey (Masters Program)

What is auto GCAS? -
And 18 hours after the best news I've heard in a long time comes the first complaint; aircrew standard. This is why we can't have nice things.

Hiding in plain sight! That's some next level secret squirrel shit!
-
Valid, good feedback. I've been watching YouTube videos of the new Tavor that's about to be released, it's hard to buy sight unseen but I'm actually leaning towards that over the AUG. I've been told the trigger is a bit better than the AUG due to a metal group instead of plastic. I know it can't compete with my SSA, but still looks awesome.

General Petraeus resigns amid affair scandal
tac airlifter replied to Crown's topic in General Discussion
You're assuming he doesn't already have one. -
I've shot the M17, I didnt know they still made those! My brother had one about 10 years ago we plinked with. Ive heard this said about bullpup triggers, including the AUG (although supposedly there is a trigger tamer aftermarket available) but can't remember how the trigger felt on the M17. Is it really that bad? I just put a SSA on my AR, and it's great, but the trigger wasn't awful before. So are we talking bad like standard AR bad? Or are we talking bad like squirt gun bad?

Please educate me, which historical NEO did the marines require organic FW CAS because the AF was unwilling or unable to provide outselves? When has the MAGTF actually been used completely by itself and required the full spectrum of its capability? I'm not being a dick, I really don't know. If that has happened, school me.
