Reaper: Now with 5.56 times the gun craziness!
Thursday, November 18th, 2004 - 8:08pm
Well, folks, I finally bought my oft-rumored AR-15. (thumbnail below) I'm quite satisfied with it, even though it is still has some factory oil on it. It has a wonderful A2 styled rear sight apeture mounted on an A4 styled flattop upper receiver. It is a fully "No-Ban" AR-15. It nicely complements my civilian AK-74. The fine folks at "Panther" DPMS even threw in a standard 25 meter zero target.
And for no reason at all, a picture of my puppy!
I hope you enjoyed these pics of my newest acquisition!

Nice gun Reaper.
I''ve always been fond of the AR-15 family of rifles. They''re nice and accurate, and they don''t punish you like a 7.62 gun can. I''ve shot a few different ones over the years, and always had fun with ''em.

Why post a picture of your new gun... and then a puppy? What are you trying to tell us, you sick bastard.

I think this was on /. today too, the state/feds are trying to shut him down.
Do you ever walk alone like a drifter in the dark?
I thought the puppy looked a bit demonic. Couple that with the acquisition of new firearms; is it maybe... a zombie puppy??

I like how you''ve got your nice, new Armalite in a $12, plastic WalMart rifle case. Classy.

No, i''m sure it''s more afraid of the deranged gleam that gets into his eyes whenever he picks up the cutlery.

I think Certis got Reaper''s pic wrong in his Employee Profile. Oh, here it is:

That actually looks liek the case they come in. My friend has one similar (only with colappsing stock). His came in the cheapest case known to man. Of course My AK-47 didn''t come with any case so its better than nothing.

Those things are fun to shoot. Even better if you know a cop and can get the range to give you exclusive access so you can ""play"". Having a cop as my best friend has greatly decreased the asshat factore at a range!

That''s awesome Reaper. Our local law enforcement agency just got AR-15''s in all the cars that wanted them. They replaced the shotguns. St. Petersburg, Florida is a warzone!

Armalite? HA! The AR actually stands for ""Assault Rifle."" And yes, that is the case I bought it in. I picked the rifle up factory direct from DPMS, put it in the trunk, and finished out my five hour round trip. And Pred''s right... the dog gets all freaked out when I get my hands on a knife. It could be because I chase it around the house whispering, ''SWISH-SWISH! SWISH-SWISH!''

Haha, thanks. I saw Grumpy''s trophy avatar for the GWJFL, and said to myself, ""self, you need an avatar that depicts your glorious victory in the Links tourney. Thank Jebus for GIS!

Wierd, I just watched Bowling for Columbine for the first time last night and now I see this thread.
Here is a serious question for those of you who enjoy owning and firing guns as a hobby: If it was possible to remove the lethality of the weapons while maintaining all other aspects of the experience, would you buy this new product instead of normal guns?

It must be because i''m british, but why do you need so many guns?
No.

Yes, you are British.

If it cost about 1/10th of the price yes... Otherwise I want to be able to shoot aliens if the land

I suppose in theory I''d say yes (although then there''s the question of what you''d use for home defense). But there''s just no way you could 100% replicate the experience and remove the lethality. Part of the experience is sending a small projectile downrange at high velocity. That''s sort of the whole point. And there''s really no way of taking the lethality out of it, short of breaking the laws of physics.

Unless we''re discussing high energy laser rifles. In which case, if the government wants to take my guns and replace them with focused energy weapons, that''s fine.
...
Oh? Without the lethality? No. There is no way to simulate the experience.
"If Blizzard announces a subscription fee for Diablo III we will have to build a second Internet to make room for all the complaining." - muttonchop
Since many people who own guns as a hobby use them to hunt, how would you maintain all aspects of the experience while removing lethality? It''s not just a physical impossiblity, it''s a logical impossibility.

That''s a beauty Reaper! I just got mine a couple of weeks ago. It stabs as well.

A family friend of ours just purchased an AR-15 for military shooting competitions. He used to be one of the few people with an M1-Garand, and it just couldn''t keep up with the accuracy of the AR-15. There is some set of rules, dictacting what type of accessories you can put on your competition rifle, I think it''s based on the rules at Camp Pendleton. Look into it if you want to get some serious use out of that rifle.
The only reason I''d buy one of those is for shooting coyotes, but a Ruger mini-14 shoots the same round, is also semi-auto, and a bit cheaper.
Those 22LR AR-15 look-alikes are pretty damn sexy though.
