I love the pump, the sound alone will give anyone pause.

I like the pop! of the igniter cartridge of an M2A1-7 flamethrower myself, or the Twang! of the safety lever of a hand fragmentation grenade flying free. especially at night. But that's just me.

A good pump gun is reliable and can be reloaded before it runs empty. A good semiauto requires a little more maintenance, but may be suitable for using while injured or disabled- or, in my case, while the right hand is occupied with operating the steering and throttle of a 4x4 ATV. The pump gun is usually a little less expensive. I've had 12-gauge pumps since 1961, usually Winchester M97, Remington 870 or Mossberg 500s.

I've had semiautos too, [Browning and Hi-Standard] and am sort of looking once more. I've got a Mouseburg 500 pump gun, and am after a semiauto for my daily driver runabout, probably magazine-fed. Thinking hard about the ATI *Bulldog* bullpup.

LEFT IN AFGHANISTAN

I'd worry a lot more about the 17,700+ Stinger and other ground-to-air missiles left behind. One smuggled missle and launcher and a skilled/trained user, one airliner down.

The easiest sort of firearm to construct is an open-bolt submachine gun like the Sten or M3A1 Grease Gun. Just sayin’.

The MkII Sten is a little easier because it uses a receiver of simple tubing, basically a pipe. The later MkIII Sten and Grease Gun use stamped receivers requiring a stamping press and welding equipment to join them.

But there are a number of other designs using a tubing receiver that take only a few hours to throw together, the Vietnam favorite Karl Gustav M45b *Swedish K* and the Czech M24/M24/M26 *Czech Uzi* series among them. Get one for a sample and a couple dozen copies are easy, as numerous biker gangs have found out.

Yep. Semi-autos converted to sub machine guns with auto sears. I’ve heard the recordings from crime scenes. It’s real.

Not entirely. Once the home workshops turning out semi-auto handguns were outlawed, they turned to other products. Next step: grenades and light antitank rocket launchers.

I have a copy of his book “To Ride, Shoot Straight, And Speak The Truth.”

Great read, not for the faint of heart.

Now get a copy of Fireworks. Lively!

Here's one on what the people did when the socialists tried to take over, and told the people that they couldn't do anything about it. Only took them around 4 months. 1918.

What’s next?

Mandatory spay and neuter for conservatives?

Mandatory injections for government employees. Hey, it's still a free country; they can choose whether they want the injection in the left or right eye. First.

Since OSHA has NOT released guidelines pursuant to the old man wanted but they are firing workers NOW..can these workers then in turn SUE employer for illegal firing? I know that SCOTUS upheld a Massachusetts small pox vaccine..but that vaccine was FDA approved while the PFIZER one isn't.

My attorney has suggested that if employees are forced to be unpaid guinea pigs and take experimental drugs for drug companies that have been given legal immunity from lawsuits, it's a form of slavery, and thereby a violation if the 13th amendment.

Oh, so *Ghost Gun* pistols will be illegal in CA? Guess they'll just have to build something else...

" It is going to get worse in the next 6 months. A LOT OF PEOPLE DON’T WANT TO WORK, from taking stuff out of the ground, to harvesting, to transporting,

A lot of people won't go back to employers with mandatory masks/ vaccines.

Hey, it's a free country: you can have your choice of getting the mandatory vax needle in your left or right arm. And then you can take the forced vax needle in either your left or right eye.

Shotguns are not generally considered the big evil firearm, especially hunting models. S&W makes a line of AR-15 type rifles now

What specifically is MA trying to ban the manufacturing of?

Probably a lot. But they're really unhappy about S&W's entry into manufacturing shotguns, particularly their new M&P model, ideal for self-defense.

Per Nancy Pelosi: 'No One Is Above the Law, Not Even the President'

Bullpups and Lefties do not work well together. LOL

New tube-fed Tavor TS12 bullpup shotgun is kinda neat tho. Triple rotary magazine tubes, 5 rounds each, so 15 + 1 rounds. Bulky AND heavy!

Hey, Chen! You're pointing your rifle barrel at your foot! -chocolotnik archy

A modern. scienced out, well developed and squared away M4 is the point and click interface of death at a price point that simply can't be beat

The Marines seem to bee pretty happy with their new H&K M27s, essentially an M4 with a conventional gas piston and heavy barrel. And the Mk18 shorty, either Mod 1 or Mod 2 is undeniably handy.

shoulda kept the Galil

Too heavy for Infantrymen, especially when used in urban MOUT doorkicking. The Tankist crews loved the cutdown Galilon version that replaced the Uzi, though, They have all sorts of ways to break or bend an M16/M4.

I think the Brits and French use bullpups too. Terrible. Get a real rifle already!

The French are dropping the FAMAS F2 *Clarion* bullpup. The Germans have not been happy with the H&K G36, either.

If he attempts to take any guns, he can have his lead deficiency corrected. And it’s mandatory.
