And a shit ton of ammo brother
M240 is a million times better than the M249, I carried a 249 Mini in Afghanistan and hitting anything past 50 yards became more luck than skillā¦even the full size 249ās accuracy was terrible, true spray and pray weaponā¦
Years ago I had a chance to try a full auto something or other.
After watching for a while and counting the amount of brass that thing spit out, I decided to keep sitting on my wallet.
Never had the urge since.
My father a class III weapon that throws them out stupid fast too. He does a lot of reloading for it. But back when he bought it the price was 3k now itās worth 15k
Those things are expensive all the way around
watched a few videos on YT from shot show and have not seen anything earth shattering yetā¦a lot of new handguns mostly, a few neat AR style riflesā¦
Thereās only so many ways to make an AR, the triarc systems were nice. I was impressed with the SF compact Kimber 9mm but thatās been out for a while
Just put it under your coat and walkout
Yeah but true velocity is going public so that will be interesting none the less.
I am personally interested in PSA new AK gf4.
But yeah nothing earth shattering yet.
Where the f*** is Kalashnikov USA? Weāve been hearing all about Saigas for years now
I had a Siaga Sporter I bought for 450 at a pawn shop, did the trigger change, added new wood, removed thread cover on end of barrel, threaded it, added muzzle brake and sold it for 1500ā¦wish I had it back, it would shoot ragged holes at 50 yardsā¦
I still want one. Always have always will no matter how impractical. My brother over his long military career also used it among others and even he sort of liked it. He preferred more long range rifles so it is what it is.
For suppressive fire the M249 serves a great purpose. Trying to hit anything beyond 50yds is a futile and impractical endeavor I agree. Still, being a civilian I want one bad.
I tried but for some reason they wouldnāt let me out of the building
100%. The 240 is far less finicky, a better fire impulse, more range⦠I have never liked the 249 but Iād absolutely love to have a 240.
Oh myā¦PSA is killing it, just watched 2 videos on YT and PSA has some killer stuff coming out a Glock 19 clone for $299ā¦AK74ā¦AK in 5.56ā¦MP5 clone will be shipping this yearā¦x54 AK this yearā¦holy cow, I will be broke again when this stuff starts shippingā¦
They had a HUGE booth inside the main room - very impressive display, and yes, they had 12ga shotguns. Many variations. I didnāt get any pics of that, but Iāll try to get some from the other guys. It was big this year.I got back at 2:40am this morning, so Iām working on editing all my pics and getting a thread up on 308AR.com. As soon as I get it all in there, Iāll link if back here.
Had a pretty big bar tab Thursday night. Somehow got into the Glock party after that. Miracles being what they are. The Crye Precision stuff on Wednesday night was nutsā¦
Hereās my initial report on SHOT 2020. No pics yet, but I GOTTA get the story out before I lose it all - well, what I can remember from it, in the first place⦠Daylight - rational clarity. Sunset, darkness⦠Uuuummm, well⦠Whatever. I think I was over-served.
Theyāve had shotguns out for awhile and a few pistol caliber options but no rifles out (7.62x39mm or 5.56x45mm). They keep saying next year lol.
Giant booth, brother - everything. Rifles, x39, x45, all that. It was all hanging out, on the giant walls in that giant booth. Iāll try to scavenge pics from the guys I was there with.
Hopefully they release them before a ban happens lol
