Free registration at the forum removes this block.Recently tried out an AR-15 & Desert Eagle, holy **** the kick on these bad boys is insane.
Scared the hell outta me the first time I shot the AR (new to guns) the first time I fired a double gauge was when I around maybe 10..? out hunting and managed to get a huge black eye from the recoil.
Believe the majority of people on this thread are American and you guys are definitely huge gun nuts so wanted to start the thread!
Ye haw cowboy
Desert Eagles are guns that inexperienced people show their friends at the range.
The only round you need for personal defense is 9mm. Accuracy and shot placement are much more important than “stopping power”. If rather have a 17 rd double stack than 9 rds of 45.
Ps, this thread is now a pistol caliber debate thread haha
Yep. The only way you get a list is to break into my house and see what greets you.As to what guns I have? That’s no ones business except mine. Nice try @sparechange or should I say... ATF.

Look into a muzzle brake for the AR, it actually makes a noticeable difference.
As for the Desert Eagle.... IMO, they're just obnoxious & don't function well for actual use. If you had to fire shots in rapid succession at a threat... nope. ...at least in my girlie little hands.

Us lucky Canadians get a max of 10 rounds in our pistols, so it doesn't really matter what we use as far as capacity goes.
We also get lovely AR15 mags that are pinned to 5 (Yup, five) rounds. Due to Canadian laws making insane amounts of sense, we are able to use LAR pistol mags that fit into our rifles that can legally hold 10 rounds! Yahoo! Thank goodness our government is keeping the public safe with 10 cent rivets!
Here is a little bit of trivia. Canada has the 10th highest civilian gun-ownership per capita at 30.8/100 people. USA is #1 at 101/100 people. These numbers are also misleading as many gun owners own multiple firearms, with collecting being a very popular hobby in the USA. Collecting in Canada becomes much more difficult due to our laws making "scary looking" firearms difficult to obtain and keep. They like to reclassify and prohibit firearms because they look scary and some internet rambo modified something to be full auto. Little does the government know that literally anyone with knowledge and some machinery and tools can make anything they want out of a block of aluminum and some tubing.
One more for some fun. There was recently a push by the Liberal government to classify a certain % of aluminum as a "lower receiver" on a restricted AR15 platform. I think they eventually settled on 80% complete now counts as restricted. Before this they had no limit on it, so people were posting pictures of a block of aluminum and calling it a "0% lower receiver - restricted". Yup, go politicians catering to their insane fan-base.
You gotta lean into the rifle and bring your shoulder up, rather than your head down.
Have you guys seen these? I kind of want one and think it might be next on the list.

One hobby I want to take up is distance shooting competition. I was usually high shooter at the range for my unit. 500m shots were my bread and butter, and those were with iron sights. If I get a decent rifle, optics and learn the math, I know I’d be a damn good 1000m shooter.
FBI has some questions for you...
