I send my 'welcome' as well

Hello and welcome. What do you think of the FNP-40? I've been considering it for my next handgun purchase.

Barrels have to be 16'' regardless or its an SBS/SBR and need an NFA tax stamp. The overall length requirements are a part of the old AWB, which is still partially in effect in NJ (26'' I believe), but does not apply to pump shotguns (I believe that is the breakdown).

Jeez, these things are still 1400+? I remember during the scramble, they were about the same price...

Of course things will be private if you set it up in the account options-- even on the internet! :liar: Though, in her case, it seems like she would have a legit chance at fighting this if she can get her proof from the physician to take a vacation and relax. But still, NOTHING on the internet is ever safe... especially on Failbook.

Suppressors are an NFA item. The only NFA item allowed in NJ are machine guns. Short Barrel rifles/shotguns, suppressors, and "other" (I forgot the technical term for it ) are not allowed at all. And even then, having a machine gun is a pain in the arse. *Forgot to add "Destructive devices." And the "other" is known as the All Other Weapons (AOW).

Congrats. I have an XD40 subcompact (3''), and as soon as I get my permits I'll be adding another pistol to the collection. Where do you shoot?

Ah ok. That definitely does help clarify some misnomers then, thank you.

Ha, wow. Is it me, or is it sooooo hard to get into a good, strong stance? I know newbies who don't shoot tend to forget... though at the same time, wouldn't they want to be conscientiously aware when firing a juggernaut like the 500SW? Haha, oh well.

5.7's are known to fire one of the hottest rounds. There was discussion of this awhile back on these forums, and someone broke down the numbers. There is a military-grade round and civilian round... the difference being a thousand FPS or so. Definitely over-penetration, but as lethal as anything else out there.

I do have an honest question in form of an example. As previously stated, because of the many view points, I too am confused with how everything works. As far as I understand, I believe my township has specific limitations. And from my understanding, if I go for a walk/hike and happen to have a knife on me in case something happens (I fall, and need to tourniquet, or get lost and would prefer to have a handy knife on me), having a knife (even if it is within the apparent length limitations) would still get me in trouble. Is this correct that my township can do this? And in the same situation, say I am hiking, and I accidentally cross into private property... and at that point I am trespassing. Given it is 'OK' to indeed carry a knife, could I be cited for the knife issue since I do have it on me when committing a crime? Or would the knife only be a factor if it was used in the actual crime? I could understand being cited for it if its used to destroy property for example... and I could definitely understand if its used in an assault or worse. Those are no-brainers... but seeing how the law is written to be ambiguous, isn't there that danger since it is up to the discretion of the authorities... even if there was no malevolence involving the knife itself?

Jeez. So, the way the law is written, people really are guilty until proven innocent... considering everything is up to the discretion of the authorities.

Welcome

I'm playing the PC version. I CANNOT stand playing first person shooters on the console... need my mouse and WASD setup, haha. Shoot me a PM, and I'll send you over my Steam info.

Shore Shots has a wide selection of guns you can try out; I really, really liked that about SS when I was trying to figure out my first purchase. Brick Armory also has some you can try out, though its mostly Glocks. I'm sure a nice fellow with a "cache" (haha, I had to) wouldn't mind meeting up with you and your girlfriend to maybe help break the ice... and bad perceptions of guns and gun owners. I'm no Dr. Phil, but there's no reason to participate in something like being a gun owner behind a significant other's back. Nor is an activity like being a gun owner a reason to not be with someone either. Bad perceptions (regardless of which side of the debate you come from) are products of ignorance. With the proper education, maybe things can change... which seems like what you're trying to do right now.

Battlefield: Bad Company 2 is slated for March 2, 2010 Though its another game set in the modern era, it does not delve anywhere in South West Asia (in BF2, I believe there was the Middle Eastern Coalition forces [MEC]). Instead, this game is going to set place primarily in South America (according to devs), though some of the maps show places like Africa? There is a beta going on right now on the PS3 platform... and I need to sign up for that. Here is in-game footage that is part of a marketing scheme... regardless, it is jaw-dropping-ly awesome. http://www.gametrailers.com/video/battl ... -bad/59222 And maybe there should be a gaming section added? I don't know if there is enough support for it, though I'm sure people don't want the General discussion to be flooded with gaming posts either.

I just don't recommend using the Scrambler perk. I thought it was a great idea at first. I then realized it's a big "I'M HERE" sign every time my radar would get a little fuzzy. I've been using the Ninja perk for perk 3 as well... no footsteps for ninja pro is pretty... pro.

Yea, I didn't mean turn based. I was watching the demos of the guy controlling his own party. And it seemed like waaay too much micro-managing. Maybe that's just how he played, or how its like if you try controlling a whole party by yourself. I did play WOW for a couple years, though I'm glad to be rid of that addiction, and I've heard it would be familiar if I was use to WOW's mechanics.

I am a huge fan of Bethesda. Oblivion was great and fallout3 is my current favorite game of all time. I was really interested in DAO at first but wasn't thrilled when I saw the gameplay. I caught the end of turn based gaming and it kind of turns me off from wantng to even try. Let us know what you think after the fact.

IW is known for its attention to detail, which is what has made COD so damn good. But MW1 and even more so with MW2, it doesn't feel like "warfare." I guess it could feel like a special tasker at best. The Battlefield series feels like warfare though, bringing that synergy of foot infantry, vehicles, real sniping, etc. BFBC2 is going to deliver that much more with the updated Frost engine. No doubt, MW2 is an amazing game that has surprised me. I think there won't be an FPS campaign that tops MW2 until MW3 (hopefully). However, the BF series has always focused on multiplayer, and will be better for those who prefer a broader scope of the battlefield... and not just a couple blocks of a neighborhood (anybody else hate the Favela map?).

Very nice indeed. I've been dreaming of putting together an AR system like yours.

Hello and welcome

Welcome. Jeez, dredging these intro posts from the grave.

Welcome

**Spoiler warning I thought it was a pretty solid story. The ending was a bit too Hollywood, with the bad guy being the misunderstood and disillusioned "good guy" (talking about Shepard here). Third installment they'll definitely be going after Makarov. There's also rumors that IW is considering giving Ghost a "small spinoff" game. And in somewhat relevant news, Activision is considering a subscription fee for MW2... http://goonlinegames.net/2009/11/16/wou ... -2-online/ I don't know if they would be stupid enough to do that. If they did, I know I would stop playing right away. I'm waiting for Battlefield: Bad Company 2 anyway (that MP will be far better then MW2, trust me). Oh, Assassin's Creed 2 and L4D2 out tomorrow. I love zombie stuff, but the first L4D didn't really impress me. But as an aspiring anthropologist, Assassin's Creed 2 is something I've been anticipating since the moment I played the first one. I'd go to the midnight release, but I have to be up early so no point in having another sick-tired day. Ok, back to MW2.
