Post Your Amusements!

Nice!

Seems a little unconvenient for a gun stash though - maybe better suited for emergency supplies and ammo? If a zombie comes crashing through your window, you don't really want to get out of bed, move the matress, unlock the safe - and then shoot the thing.

On that note... Being from a mostly gunless country, I'm a little worried about my chances in the zombie apocalypse. Then again, vikings will be vikings I suppose - Can always hack them down with my sword and board. Here's hoping the affliction won't be transferable by skin contact.

Supposedly it only takes 10 seconds to access. Granted, that's probably too long to survive a Zombie Apocalypse, but it would make for a suitable secondary storage location. I mean think about it... 102 weapons right under your bed? What more could you ask for?

Not to rain on your parade or anything, but it's not 102 total. It's 32 rifles OR 70 handguns.

Not Enuff Dakka!

And I think you just became my new best friend, rofl.

Eh, I've always got a FN5.7 loaded and ready to go in my nightstand drawer. Let dem zombies come.

What kind of ammo? From what I understand, only LEOs have access to the 5.7x28mm rounds that actually pack a punch, civilians get the sporting ammo.

[Fenrìr]

I have SS190's loaded into it. And it's military and LEOs that can get access to it.

[Klaudandus]

Yeah, SS190 is the duty one; ss195 and ss197 are the civilian ones.

[Fenrìr]

Yea. It was a pain to get my CCW to be accepted by the country of Spain as well...ugh. Never want to do that shit again.

I am so close to being able to fire a handgun I inherited from my grandfather. It pleases me to no end to have the opportunity to shoot it.



Sauer and Sohn 38H. Mine is similar to the one top right, making it a late WWII model, with no safety. The hammer is actually the lever located on the side of the grip. When I inherited the weapon the grips were ruined (a common trait with the Bakelite grips they were using in the late war era), and I wanted to have it gone over to make sure that it was in safe firing order.

The Gumsmith contacted me Monday to tell me that the gun is in immaculate shape other than the grips, and that with proper care it should fire for a very long time. The grips should be arriving today or tomorrow and I should have the gun back, and the registration paperwork finished up by the end of the week.

The nice thing about swords is they don't run out of ammo.

The problem with melee weapons and zombies is getting splatter in your mouth.

Not dissing the "gun people", but I find the concept of enjoying firing a gun alien to me.

Swords and daggers aren't worth much, but I always felt like carrying a weapon was a permanent weight on your mind, knowing you could sow disaster there and then.

Different tastes for different people, I guess! Gotta admit I never saw a weapon growing up, though.

Didn't Mythbusters testing show swords get really dull really fast to the point of becoming unusable?

Possibly - but it's also highly dependent on sword type, materials and quality of manufacture, as well as usage.

(from the perspective of a martial artist who practices a weapon art, you cannot believe how many times this topic comes up in usually inebriated discussions. I'm in the halberd camp, myself )

I don't Conceal and Carry. I respect the right to do so, and have even taken the classes to be permitted to do so, but its just not something that I feel the need to 'do'. I have weapons that I keep at my house, that I take to the range and shoot, or go hunting with. (been a LONG time on that one) For me, I was raised in a home where hunting for food wasn't a "recreation", we very much hunted for food, to ensure that we had enough food to eat. As I grew up, I have found firing a weapon to be a nice way to blow off steam, challenge myself, and generally just have a good time. As I've grown up, I'm more of a fan of hand guns than I am long barrels, but I do enjoy both.

Just curious Sagara, Where are you from?
