Holy **** that is a lot of pellet guns

What do you do with them, like paintball style fights, accuracy, just screwing around, etc?

Just screwing around mainly, have some target traps, sometimes a backyard skirmish, plinking, etc. I like taking apart and air brushing camo patterns. I am 10 minutes away from a CMP (civilian marksmanship program) range at Camp Perry.80 lanes, setup for .177 cal pellet rifles.

Would love to do the airsoft CQB (close quarters battle) indoor fields, but being handicapped with MS makes it difficult to get around, and impossible to run.

I will be getting a 22 Long rifle semi automatic M4 AR variant soon. Either Colt, S & W, or H & K.

Have a Series 70 Colt .45 ACP, Colt AR-15 .223 (6 digit serial number), Colt peacemaker .22 dual cylinder single action revolver (LR and Magnum), Winchester Model 140 .12 GA, and a Marlin Model 60 .22 LR with a tubular mag. Also have a variety of Knives (clip-on to the AR and stand-alone) and a whole rack full of various swords (and I know how to use em). Anyone stupid enough to break in my house while I am home will be carried out by the ME.

That is pretty wild, and I bet a lot cheaper to shoot than my 12 gauge, 40 cal, etc...

My brother in law just picked up an HK MR556 A1 that I can't wait to fire...

That is awesome, NATO rounds or .22 caliber? If NATO or .223 remington, check into the .22 cal long rifle conversion. Shooting either the NATO or Remington will cost $50 for a hundred rounds, you can shoot 1000 rounds of 22 long rifle for same price.

Guessing from the model number I would say it shoots a 5.56 x 45 round. The HK A1 is like a newer version of the AR...slightly upgraded.

Bada** gun if you ask me.

I have a handgun on order with my FFL in Houston. Since I am moving back there, I will be buying a new handgun for CHL purposes. Right now, pretty settled on a SA XD 9mm 3".

Similar to this:


It will go nicely with the black SRT...and will fit between the seats or in the glovebox just as nicely.

Matt, you are correct on the rounds for that bad boy. He is down in Florida and moving back to Indy soonish, so I will get to check it out.

I like the XD quite a bit, and have the subcompact XD 40 Cal. It is a great weapon, but it is awfully bulky for CC and of course, the holster they give you is complete **** LOL.

I went for the bi-tone, and think it looks fantastic, Definitely a preium for price, but I only intend on buying one and wanted exactly what I wanted

Some friends have tried to get my to go with the .40, but for me when it comes to a CC, I will take quantity over size. With a 16+1 on the extended magazine on the 9mm, it is plenty for protection.

Do you have the 4" or the 3" XD40 for CC? I am going to go with the 3"

I used to have a Tokyo Marui MK23 Socom. That thing was badass. Had a silencer and light unit, looked just like Solid Snakes gun in Metal Gear Solid. Too bad I sold it. I still have a couple crappy springer airsoft guns laying around.

But now I have a Ruger SR9c. I love it.

Matt, if you need more than 10 shots on a CC weapon, you are doing something wrong and the 40 has considerably more stopping power than a 9. I also have extended mags, but for CC, they are useless due to the added length, kind of defeats the purpose of a 3" weapon when the mag is longer than the barrel LOL

I have the 3" and it is great, but I am getting something smaller to CC, but I am a smaller guy, so there is not as much room on me to conceal it LOL

Sorry for the threadjack MrMopar

9 Mil is pretty much useless without a head shot, thats why FBI and all them moved up to .40 and .45. My step-dad has a lot of guns, but I have one and its the only one I need. A Mossberg 500. Great for Quail, Chukkar, Dove and Cottontails. I never really got into the whole air soft thing, but that is a really nice collection MrMopar. When Im 21 Im leaning towards the XD .45 ACP. I wish CA would allow my dad to get back his Beretta 1201a full auto 12 Guage. Now that is a serious machine.

I have a Daisy range Rider spring action BB gun with a pinjk stock. I inheirited it from my granddaughter. I gabve her a Henry lever action .22 for her 12th birthday.

She went into the closet and came back with thePink Daisy saying," Well, I guess I won't be needing this puny thing anymore."

I'll just paint it flat black and give it to her Brother.
