Gun rodeo :)

Thats a nice AR-15 you got there. Has a vertical foregrip even.

I just love the AR.. unf, it is not mine, but be;longs to my friend and her husband.. it is such a "cushy" gun to shoot. Hardly any kickback.. not like the shotgun my dad is holding.. I will be sent backward ten feet if I try shooting that monster!

Looks like you guys all had some fun!

Lol yea, shotguns (at least 12 gauge and lower) will do that :D I also love the relatively small recoil of an AR, not many other rifles pack such a decent punch for such a small cartridge.

ETA: Later on I'll post a pic of mine.

I'm so very glad that you like me Gin! :eek:

lol!
I don't think I could actually shoot a person.. if it came down to being threatened by someone, or someone trying to hurt an innocent person, probably..

Booo AR-15's, M4's and M16's for that matter! :mad:

Hurray the HK416 for fixing most of the design flaws of the before mentioned firearms. http://www.hk-usa.com/le_hk416_general.html http://www.armytimes.com/news/2007/02/atCarbine070219/

That looks cool, but I would probably have to sell all of my posessions to buy one :)

Anyone know about Ruger Mini-14?

I actually wouldn't mind one of those. But really, what design flaw do you speak of? Direct gas impingment? As opposed to the gas piston design of the HK?

AK's use gas piston, and while it is probably more reliable, I have had many an AR-15, and my only malfunctions have either been 1) Ammo related, 2) Magazine related, or 3) I haven't cleaned the thing for 3000 rounds :D And <----- one only happened with my first AR, never since.

And my AK has overall been less reliable then my AR's.

(Not to mention the price tag on one of those HK's) :)

Regarding the Mini-14, I haven't heard too much good about them, they are .223 which is nice, but more regarded as a 'plinker'. BUT, everyone likes different things. I'll see what I can find regarding them.

Thanks; I am a big Ruger fan because of my .22, and I saw a few at the last gun show we were at, but I was just window (or table) shopping.
