HAH!!
Caught you! Old pros who have spent more than an hour reloading know that you need Diet Coke and Mentos, not Pez.!

Should have quit while you were ahead Laz ;)

Pez is a type-4 bioneurogical toxic agent that causes intestinal gas and eventual death.

Don't mess with the best.

I hadn’t thought about that. Damn...I once again stand corrected.

They’re using semi-auto AK-47s so no license necessary.

It doesn't take much. One drop of pig's blood, flesh, or fat will send the mozlim straight to hell.

What delivery system are you going to use?

Not gunslingers but the more dignified title of “Range Detective” to ride the range in the employ of the rancher for the purpose of protecting & defending the livestock . It’s for the purity & safety of the food supply don’t you know.

Right.It has been a long time since I saw an old fashioned shoot=em up. Guys like Charles Starrett used to hired out as range detective to catch rustlers working for guys in town who wanted to take over the range.

That’s what I figured, but if I was there, I would give serious consideration to full auto weapons. Is it still $200 per year per gun?

AFAIK it is. I’m afraid full-auto weapons and the cost of ammo for them is above my means. I think you get better fire control with a semi-auto anyway.

Is the tax stamp $200 per year? I thought it was a one time thing.

I believe it is a one-time payment. Same with sound suppressors. The ideal home defense weapon would be a 16inch barrel (counting suppressor body welded on) AR platform in 45 ACP caliber ... IMHO. You can build one for around $1400, with three twenty-five round mags.

They want $200 bucks for each Class III item though don’t they? One for your full-auto receiver, one for your suppressor and one for each of anything else on the list. And a brand new registration and another $200 if you alter anything such as putting different guts in your suppressor. I could be wrong about that.

“I just loaded up over 1000 rounds of “Soul Takers”. “

Progov, assuming your loading .338 Lapua, what do you think your cost is per round for reloading?

I figure that my 50 BMG rounds cost me about $1.25 or less with my used brass. (Pulled 700 grn Ball, CCI #35, surplus power). Some of the old WWII brass I have only lasts 2 or 3 shots though. Newer stuff last longer.

AK's require you to be up close and personal with these thugs. You need to keep back and engage them from a distance.

You can try to scare them off with lots of 7.62x39, or drop them with 30-06 elk hunting rounds. Yeah, scaring them off will work for a while, and avoids certain complications, but what do you do when they don't scare off?

Anyway, the muzzie victim would have no way of knowing he took a round with pig blood/grease, and thus there would be no purpose.

That's why you advertise, so they'll know. After the first group of 'em falls afoul of the Soul Stealer's. :) The reverse, a rumor that pig fat was used as bullet lube, worked against the British, when the British East Indian (old sense, India, Pakistan and Bangladesh today) Army was fighting in the Hindu Kush against the Afghans who were egged on by the Russians (pre Soviet Union). That was when you had to bite the end off the paper cartridge, pour the powder into the barrel and then ram the bullet in above it. This was in 1857, the rifles were Pattern 1853 Enfields

No one in their right mind would attempt to cross a mine-field.

But they very well might try to blow up a path through one. It's what we do.
