Gun Discussion

I am eager to get my hands on a .45 caliber Glock, like a 21 or a 41. Just don’t have the money for it. Also kind of wish that Glock would make a compact .45 caliber pistol, the same size as the Glock 19 or 23. I like the size a little better. Not too big but not too small.
 
Also, 12 gauges are the BEST shotguns.

@noobiestbrony  
Glock does offer two .45 compacts - the Glock 30S and the Glock 36.

@zerowinger66  
Those are subcompact and subcompact slimline. Compact would include the Glock 19 and 23, still seems full size but smaller for concealment purposes. But I did find that the Glock 38 is in .45 GAP.

I’d love to get my hands on any gun at all

@noobiestbrony  
Really? I thought the Glock 30S was supposed be comparable in size to the Glock 19.

@zerowinger66  
Nope. It’s more or less like the Glock 26. Here’s a comparison.

Is it me?  
Or are Germans quite lacking when it comes to revolver designs?
 
They never seemed to have any double action revolvers in their weapon service history. They’ve transitioned directly from their single action Reichsrevolver to the Luger P08.

Fun fact - the Sterling submachine gun was the basis for several of the blaster rifle props used in the original Star Wars film.

@zerowinger66  
Anything gun that looks strange. It’s “alien” enough.
 
The Sten was a shitty gun. They even openly say it’s shit. But it WORKED. That was all that mattered to them during desperate times.
 
But the Polish Resistence were able to manufacture better SMGs in their underground workshops.

One thing I absolutely like about the M1911 style handguns is that they have a grip safety so it perfectly fine to spin them even when they’re loaded. It won’t fire with only a finger on the trigger.

@Albus Fahrenheits  
That is true. Although I find the grip safety a bit too awkward, so really the only thing I’d do is spin it around. :P

Well, once again, some friends and family asked me that if I were to get a gun for my upcoming birthday, what would I get.
 
My answer: An AK-74/74M-style rifle.
 
And as much as I love the classic wood finish on Kalashnikov rifles, living in Alaska for most of my life has led me to favor things that I consider to be practical modifications, such as:
 

@Alexk13  
Are you looking for an AK that has all of those features out of the box, or a standard AK you can add those features on to?

@Alexk13  
So either a heavily modified AK-107 or 101, a civilian AK-12, or an RAS-47.

@Alexk13  
How’s the availability of the 5.45x39mm ammunition in Alaska? I think there are versions adapted to the 5.56 NATO.

@BadgingBadger  
Me! :)

One of my favorite channels!

@BadgingBadger  
Yup!

@BadgingBadger  
Nope…haven’t heard of him.
 
My personal favorite gun Youtuber is hickok45.

What do you guys think about The Yankee Marshall? He strikes me as what you would get if Channel Awesome had a gun reviewer.
 
I think he has a few funny videos, but tends to get a little over the top.

A gun thread!? GUNS!! :D
 
Let me introduce you to my friend Wildey:
 

 
The .457 Wildey Magnum. Or you can call it by it’s other name: “Why does that Howitzer have a handle and trigger?!”
