The accent is fake, and so is the quadcopter. FPSRussia originally went by "FPSKyle" on YouTube. He did Call of Duty gameplay commentary. That quadcopter was CGI; this episode of the FPS show was a promo for Black Ops 2. Edit: The integration of a quadrotor and firearm is absolutely within the realm of possibility, but due to weight restrictions, it would be more practical to use the technology found in the Metal Storm. The barrel and magazine are one piece, and several caseless rounds are stacked inside. The powder charge is ignited electronically in sequence by a microprocessor. The advantages here are obvious: reduced weight, virtually no malfunctions, and a direct method of firing. After all, there would be no operator to clear jams and pull the trigger. A linear magazine significantly reduces the mechanical complexity. Would the technology be legal in NJ? Unlikely. The disconnect between the user and the weapon raises the question of whether full-auto would be possible, among other things. If you like FPSRussia, you will probably like Demolition Ranch even more: http://www.youtube.com/user/DemolitionRanch?feature=watch

Yeah, this will be home defense pistol. (I no longer feel that my shotgun is a wise choice due to size). I'd rather not have a blinding flash in my face at nighttime. Anyways I'l keep looking.

I tracked down a 19c. Should I go for it?

I can probably kiss that dream goodbye. I have a brand new CZ 452 Varmint in .22LR, Bushnell Elite 3200 4-12x AO, Burris Signature Zee Rings, JNP 11mm-Weaver adapters, barrel lug, silicone sock, and case... Brand new, never fired. Maybe someone will be interested in a trade. Does the forum store take PayPal? I need to donate for access to the B/S/T section.

I've applied for my permits, and I'm starting to look around for my first purchase: a Glock 19. It seems they're out of stock everywhere, and I have email notifications set up for at least 5 online stores. Since this is my first purchase, I'm not sure if 'out of stock' is the norm for Glocks or if this just the result of a current surge in demand for guns (or both). For those more knowledgeable - How often does Glock release shipments of the G19? Do they stay in stock very long? Long enough to purchase within 90 days? I have experience with the G19 so I prefer to purchase what I am comfortable with. Thanks

Bloomfield, NJ Pistol Permits: - Application for Firearms Purchaser Identification Card and/or Handgun Purchase Permit - Consent for Mental Health Records Search - Criminal Record History form, yellow paper (Signature and date only) - Two stamped envelopes for reference letter - Money order for $18 to NJSP-SBI - Cash for permits Notes about my experience: - The clerk initially told me I needed to be fingerprinted, but I presented her with a printout of FAQ #5 from the NJSP website and she realized that I was applying for permits, not my initial FID card. I was then asked to present my FID and Drivers License. They scanned a copy of my license. - I applied for three permits and I was given no trouble about this number, but I was reminded of the One Gun A Month law. - I paid cash at the same time I applied and I was given receipts. - The permits will be mailed to me, but I was told "the system is backed up right now so it may take some time." - Overall I found that the one officer and two clerks I spoke to throughout this process were very polite. They did not question me or express any disapproval. Other Notes: - Bloomfield Records Department is open from 9:00 AM - 4:30 PM on Mondays only.

You can buy pre-sharpened blades like this Mora: http://www2.knifecenter.com/item/FT311/Morakniv-Mora-of-Sweden-Laminated-Steel-Knifemaking-Blades-Clip-Blade#reviews And just focus on making the handles for now. There is no reason why kits would be illegal unless the kit is for a switchblade or double-edged dagger which is unlikely.

Forgive me if I overlooked the answer to this question in my prior search: What exactly is meant by "possession" in this context? I have seen many debates between constructive vs. actual possession, carrying vs. collecting, etc. but ultimately there was nothing but individual interpretation. Before I visit my PD tomorrow to ask for clarification, I thought I would try here first. Has anyone written to a lawyer or law enforcement for clarification? Reason for asking: I would like to add a push blade (dagger) to my collection but the vague wording here suggests that even owning it would be illegal. Thanks

During a past research project I discovered that shotshell wads were a viable candidate for a pneumatically-launched projectile I required. When properly nose weighted (usually with a dab of hot glue) and fired backwards (cup end trailing), they proved to be very accurate and stable in flight. The "petals" which form the cup offered excellent drag stabilization. Best of all, they survived multiple hard impacts. This fact reoccurred to me when I was looking for a shotshell equivalent to "wax bullet" training rounds. If an empty is hull is primed and a weighted wad is inserted backwards, the package can be fired as a training round. I have yet to try this and as such I can't confirm if the ballistic characteristics carry over but I expect they will. It is highly dependent on velocity which I can't measure yet. If successful, this can be an extremely valuable training tool. Perhaps safe enough to use in one's own home if the wad is padded. Drills performed in the home with the designated home defense weapon could teach far more applicable firearm handling lessons than those performed elsewhere. The problem is, would it be legal? Would firing a non-metallic 3 gram projectile using primer gasses constitute a "discharge?"

I came across that too. http://www.atf.gov/regulations-rulings/rulings/atf-rulings/atf-ruling-2011-4.pdf Perhaps a letter to the NJSP is in order to see if there are any NJ-specific restrictions on this new ruling. I'm sure a number of folks here would be interested in knowing if they can legally turn their pistols into rifles and back again. As far as the ATF is now concerned, though, it's just fine. The relevant section:

That's some crazy info there, thanks for posting. What is the process (if any) for converting a handgun to a full-sized rifle in NJ? (That is to say: adding a stock and a 16"+ barrel). Wouldn't the ATF require paperwork because of the fact that after the conversion, you still possess parts to turn the rifle into a SBR?

Undoubtedly the airsoft-specific version will be the safer route but honestly I'm not up for risking it. Though anyone could tell ABS plastic wouldn't be suited for the recoil of a real firearm and that tweaks have been made to the design so it can fit into the airsoft style grip which is different. Even still I fail to see how this product, being nothing more than an adapter (not a stock), would be illegal to buy under any circumstances. If the ATF's influence is really that severe, they might as well post agents in every hardware store waiting for a registered gun owner to purchase some raw materials just in case he's guilty of so called "constructive intent" as almost anyone can fashion something like this on their own. It's only the convenience of a simple purchase that makes this more appealing than building your own. Thought Police much?

I came across this while browsing YouTube and thought it was a pretty neat idea. I want to buy one and see if it can't be adapted to a replica Glock airsoft gun, however I'm afraid to do so after hearing some comments about it. On the product's Amazon page (yes, it's actually for sale on Amazon) reviewers warn that there is a prison sentence associated with "constructive intent" i.e. planning to convert your handgun into a "short barreled rifle". It's worth noting that the product itself does not constitute a stock, it merely provides a provision for one to be added separately. Given that, I can't see how it could be illegal to buy as-is regardless of state, possession of the appropriate tax stamps, FID cards, pistol permits, or even age. If a stock were attached to it I could understand the issue. The manufacturer even addresses this issue with the same argument on their FAQ page and certainly they're working through a secure loophole if this thing is up for sale to anyone on Amazon Also worth noting - I don't own a glock, only a gas airsoft pistol. The "constructive intent" penalty certainly can't apply if the firearm is missing from the equation. Any thoughts on this? Edit. Also found this. It's essentially the same thing but made of a different material and sold at a small fraction of the price - specifically for toys. Is there any risk here?

Awesome! I'd definitely appreciate your report before I go ahead with anything.

Back again, guys. I'm picking up the CZ on Saturday and of course I'll need to pair it with a scope. The best scope within my price range seems to be the new Nikon Prostaff 3-9 tuned for .22LR or a Mueller APV. The Nikon has one of those bullet drop reticles though. Is that really useless like everyone says? I can't imagine why Nikon would stick one of those on a dedicated .22LR scope unless it had a purpose.

I put down a deposit on the Varmint through Cabelas. Thanks for the tips guy. I think I might also grab a Mosin-Nagant set when I go to pick it up. A working piece of history for $150???

I got some quotes on the 452 Varmint. Best out of them all: $460 out the door (tax, nics, everything). What do you say guys?

Wow! Thanks for all the replies. I did some further reading after starting this thread and found that CZ's synthetic stocks are kind of flimsy. I always prefer the look of synthetic over wood, but on that note I widened my search to all the other 252's as well as the 455. (Ironsights not needed) There is an interesting price difference between the 452 and the 455 so I fear quality might have been sacrificed somewhere. I'd like to hear more reviews on the 455 but I'd still feel comfortable placing my trust in CZ and buying that one. I checked Marlin and Savage off the list because many people say the quality is "hit or miss" and you take your take chances every time you buy one of their rifles. I don't doubt they make good products but I'd rather not run into a few lemons before I find a good one. I'll try out the price request (didn't know about it) and post again when I make my decision. Thanks guys!

I'm looking for a good, sturdy .22LR bolt gun to get me through the upcoming apocalypse or at least long enough to pass down to my kids someday. Nearly everything I read points me toward the CZ 452, but the price is a killer (400 for the Style and 380 for the silhouette- I'll take either). Between the regular cost, shipping and transfer fees, I'm going to be out nearly $500. I can go to Cabela's and leave with a good Savage for under $300 (cheaper, and available on the spot without fees) but they just don't seem to have the same rep as CZ. Plus, the 452 line is supposed to be discontinued and I may not have the chance to buy one in the future. CZ owners - could you offer me further advice that might justify the crazy cost? Thanks

Good spotting! The Arduino is under that red motor shield. Arduino is loads of fun. That's unfortunate, the actual mechanism is what I hoped to do myself. And I see what you guys mean about the electrical aspect bordering on "machine gun". I guess I'll be sticking with toy projectiles. Thanks for the replies. This board is knowledgeable as always.

Recently I've been developing a series of microcontroller based "weapons" that are really just unnecessarily sophisticated Nerf guns made for fun. Right now they're handheld weapons, but when I work out the bugs I'd like to take advantage of the controllers' full potential and set them on "sentry gun" turrets or even mobile platforms for remote or automated operation. Seeing the success of my prototypes made me wonder about the potential these designs have with actual cartridges. It's nothing that hasn't been done before, but I'd love to see if I could make my own rig for unloading some actual lead. So... many questions have since come to mind. How does NJ law regard firearms that have been scratch built? I know the general goal of gun laws is to keep tabs on who has what, but considering registration is voluntary here, would I need to do anything at all to legally possess such a weapon? Most firearms are cycled manually or with energy tapped from cartridge ignition. Are there any regulations on externally powered firearms? (mechanisms cycled with power from an outside soure, as mine would be) Are there regulations on mobile weapons or weapons not under the direct control of a human being? Here is a very early test of the microcontroller's ability to index a 15 shot air revolver using a limit switch I held in place: http://s237.photobucket.com/albums/ff155/PointBlank017/?action=view&current=fai.mp4&newest=1 (Of course I wouldn't program a real weapon to fire full-auto as this one does) Input is appreciated as always.

A beautiful one... in my noob opinion. (Benelli Supernova)

Right out of the box... My very first firearm.

Thank you and I'm glad yours worked out as well. My next purchase will likely be from 'DSG' because it beats the 2 hour ride to PA... but this time a $75 cash card couldn't go to waste.

Made the trip to Cabela's today for the SuperNova... my wait on the NICS was only about 30 minutes. I was called back even before I decided what shells to buy. Best of all, it only cost $2 somehow and PA gun sales tax was just another $3.
