Both will kill a person you think somebody gonna get up from a 45? If you want power, power I hear 10mm ain't no joke.

Since we talking bout that, does anybody know the lethality of 57?

I know I fear being hit by a 357, 44, and 12 gauge not saying I want to be hit by a 45, 9mm, or 22...I be looking at my AK and draco shooting fireballs and I don't want to hit by those shyts either.

You right of course. I just like to try and save people money. I saw someone post that they were feeling kinda salty that they gotta 9 over a 45 and i'm thinkin like breh, you got what is arguably considered the better caliber.(there's people on both sides) 45acp is bigger than 9mm but it sacrifices velocity. Velocity equals power(and range) when it comes to firearms in my experience.
I need to do more research but i heard the 40 cal is a happy medium between the two. Bigger than a 9mm but faster than a 45.

That was me talking about this glock 45...I legit just assumed that 45 meant something. And I had to went in to look at 45s. I think I just got confused and he said I got this glock 45 here and it was on that blue box sale so I just said fukk it

I did something similiar with my first ever gun purchase. dude sold me a 410 gage shotgun
I had no idea what the numbers meant i thought all shotguns where 12 gage. i was like wow this is a good deal. went to walmart and bought 12 gage ammo, got home like why doesn't this shyt fit? this dude really sold me a bb gun.
Gun dealers will take advantage of you to get that sale.

so now i always watch like 20 youtube videos on the gun i want and try become an expert on it before ever even seeing it.

I ordered my first gun, a CZ 97b. Should be ready for pickup Friday or Saturday.

I feel like this year has been crazy with the Rona, police killings, and random black killings. I can't carry, but it's better than nothing

What makes that more expensive or more sought after than all the other 1911s? A full rail refers to the sights/lasers you can mount on them right? I see all types of different operators and shyt like that when it comes to 1911s.

i think it's just cause they aren't imported often. those are brazilian pistols made by imbel iirc.

btw anybody interested in a 1911 should check out my breh's buyer's guide, it's a couple years out of date but still has lots of good info: Buyer's guide for all you 1911 addicts...

one of my favorites

Spoiler

the terrorist who shot up fort hood had one and was a pretty miserable shot, he still did a ton of damage. there's a copypasta that's been going around on gun boards that started here: Lethality of the fn 5.7 pistol
and a study here: https://img1.wsimg.com/blobby/go/b2161a32-695e-4a4e-baa2-209a9a981c67/downloads/1cm0blukf_477512.pdf

Great penetration, reliability, consistency and barrier performance proved to be very easy to grade.
1. Penetration was surprisingly deep and consistent for the duty rounds regardless of barriers in Phase 2/3 and very close to the best from the 45 ACP and 10mm hollow points averaging just over 17 inches.
2. The rounds exhibited near perfect reliability with no tested rounds failing to function/tumble in any phase
regardless of media/barriers. None of the rounds fragmented unless designed to do so. Shot to shot consistency was extremely high similar to the solid copper rounds and the FMJs. Each wound channel looked completely different but the measurements were very close and consistent.
3. Barrier degradation was almost zero. 5.7 rounds are the closest thing to barrier blind that was tested. During a couple of the test shoots certain agencies introduced different more robust barriers and the 5.7 continued its flawless minimal degradation results.
...
Measurements taken on over 100 shots verified that wound channels through tissue with or without barriers equaled or exceeded that of hollow points in all calibers!

oh, you can also go on lightfighter.net and ask ppl who've killed others with the round, but i think that board has a mostly negative opinion about 5.7.

,power I hear 10mm ain't no joke.

This will penetrate armor. Not all as there are different levels. But your casual shyt that people wear for self defense, non war. Yeah.

velocity x mass = force

the weight and speed both matter but it depends on what you want. 9mm is better at long range accuracy and penetration. 45 is better at transferring force into the body

40 is a medium but a lot of people find the recoil to be too unpleasant for the minimal increase in power. you can also see this in the sale prices of used guns - 40s tend to be cheaper on the used market.

Any Maryland brehs know of any good gun stores? I live in PG.

If you don't mind going to VA, check out All Shooters Tactical in Woodbridge (near Potomac Mills). You'll save big money if you cross the Wilson Bridge!

Try Haze Line guns. Owned by a black dude. The joint is in Laurel.

Copped a Sko Shorty from there in March

Black owned, you say?

 

[Rollie Forbes]

my recent grabs.

black people please buy guns.

You're about to have somebody doing the bird with that micro!

 

[blockburna420]

you can’t find .223 go to a pawn shop where are you at Breh...I got over 100 rounds for the extra low during the initial covid scare. Now sure why you can’t find that round.

when yo say the extra low , imma assume under a buck? What brand?

that micro draco is low key fun to shoot I’m debating putting a red dot on it.

 

[NatiboyB]

it’s Winchester a whole box of them. And I want to say it was less than $50 but I’d have to look at the box but 223 rounds aren’t that expensive

 

[blockburna420]

my nikka was it less than 3 for 2?
