5.7mm is still rather pathetic for anything other than paper targets or very small game. You are talking betweeen 340 ft. lbs and 400 ft. lbs at the muzzle. Which is an improvement over a .22 LR, but not by much. More importantly is how unbalanced the firearm is, the majority of the firearm and ammunition sits in front of the trigger. It may look "cool" but is otherwise rather useless.
now that was meanGun porn are pics on Dillon calendars with hot models holding machineguns.
wait?!
All the operational tests I've seen of it say otherwise. And frankly, at close to medium range the round is plenty effective. And maybe it never gets used for anything m ore than punching holes. Ive got that luxury.
Its not uncommon for ranges to rent those out, but we're talking about renting Rossis, as I said I never saw a Rossi for rent.
What range wants to sell those over a nicer firearm?
I wouldn't be surprised if I saw a Rossi for sale at a gun shop, including gun shops with ranges, its just that I've never seen them for rent at gun shops or ranges.
Rental guns seem to be a marketing exercise, so I'd think that they'd rent the ones they want to sell.
true enough-that's why the range where I RO does that. They have the stuff people most likely want to buy
That makes sense, although some ranges rent out full automatics which is not stuff they would sell.
Its a cash cow. the range I patronize has a MP 5. They get like 40 bucks for two magazines of 9mm (this was back when it cost them 7 bucks for a fifty round box)
My local indoor range has an actual hand cranked Gatling gun for rent.
those aren't title II (Class III) weapons IIRC
That can be fun, if you want to shoot a gun from the civil war era.
True, but where else can you play Josie Wales?
Did he say it didn't exist?
Effective against what, rabbits and squirrels? It would be damn foolish to use a gun that can barely deliver 400 ft. lbs against a human. There are a lot of people who like to buy firearms based upon appearance rather than functionality, and if that is what you want to do more power to you. Just don't be surprised when people laugh at how silly and impractical the firearm appears.
Both 9mm and .38 Special deliver 400 ft-lbs or less muzzle energy. The vast majority of firearm homicides have been committed with these two calibers.
I never said Rossis aren't rented out, all I said is that I never saw them being rented out. But whether they're rented out or not the fact remains I would not spend money to buy one.
Hey...heres a tip. Dont buy this gun. Dont even consider it. Its not for you.
Turns out he didn't say that it doesn't exist, so your post accusing him of making an argument from ignorance is actually a particularly reprehensible strawman.
