Here's the question, what do you always here on the computer, gunshops, magazines, ranges and meet-ups that is just pure hype?

 

I'll start. "The sound of a pump shotgun being racked is enough to send the perp runnin out the house!"

 

Whatchu got? I have more but I'm sure they'll all be said in the upcoming posts.

"Hollow points are illegal in New Jersey"

Hollow points punch right through kevlar.

"Men use a .45, 9mm doesn't have enough stopping power, after all, are you shooting children?"

Hi points are crap garbage that should be melted down and made into cookware

"ARs where made by Matel toy company"

-A car door is effective cover.

 

-shooting a gas tank will make a car explode

 

-you don't have to aim a shotgun

Birdshot is an effective man-stopper.

"You can shoot down planes with a 50 caliber."

"You can shoot down planes with a 50 caliber."

 

uhm.

"It's illegal to transport loaded magazines"

The shorter the barrel on a shotgun the wider the spread. Get it down to 12" or so and you can clean out a room with one shot.

Granting of permit or identification card; fee; term; renewal; revocation. The application for the permit to purchase a handgun together with a fee of $2, or the application for the firearms purchaser identification card together with a fee of $5, shall be delivered or forwarded to the licensing authority who shall investigate the same and, unless good cause for the denial thereof appears, shall grant the permit or the identification card, or both, if application has been made therefor, within 30 days from the date of receipt of the application for residents of this State and within 45 days for nonresident applicants.

glocks cannot be detected by metal detectors and are indestructible.

Teflon coated bullets punch through kevlar like butter.

 

"I wouldn't trust my life to an AR" makes me want to punch a kitten also.

You don't have to worry about the NJ AWB, they only use those laws to tack on charges for the really bad criminals. Cops will leave you alone... etc

"ARs wherewere made by Matel toy company"

 

well, the furniture actually was made by them back when they first came out

Snopes

 

The handgrip of the M16 rifle was made by Mattel. When the gun was first introduced in Vietnam, soldiers noticed the toy company's logo embossed on the handgrip and complained. Later shipments arrived without the imprint, but the grips were still manufactured by Mattel.

I am unsure if that is saying its false that the whole rifle was made by mattel (which it is of couse false) but the grips/stocks were

 

1. Where was the mark?

2. What was the mark?

3. Was the mark raised or stamped?

 

Inside the grip and stock. Only visible on stock when stripped.

 

MATTEL No logo or trademarking.

 

Raised block letters.

One would think that if there really were Mattel grips, and there's no evidence that Mattel ever made any parts for real guns, that someone would have snapped a picture to prove all those internet naysayers wrong. That evidence has yet to surface.

This makes me want to post a thread about the gullible people we've dealt with that believe the internet rumors...

 

"This Hk 45 is a great first handgun" - As told to a banker who banker who came in looking for a gun. (new shooter) at Cheyenne Mountain.

 

"You need this Glock 23 (40 cal), it is a great first handgun." As told to a pair of woman buying their first handgun, with zero handgun experience at all. Were also sold some Hornady Critical Defense ammo.

 

 

From King of Prussia Gun Show...

Guy 1 to buddy: "Look, these (Mosins) fire the same 7.62 round as my AK"

Me to Guy 1. "No, they do not, I would not try loading 7.62x39 into the Mosin."

Guy 1 to me. "No, they do, they both say 7.62 on them."

Me to Guy 1. "7.62 is the diameter of the bullet, the mosin is 7.62x54, your AK is a 7.62x39"

Guy 1 to me. "The part after the 7.62 does not matter, it is the 7.62 that the round."

Me:

"I will be loved and missed by all"....Radek

You can survive any disaster with an AK, paracord and gold doubloons.

I have 2 that crack me up all the time.

"I am a good shooter"

This gun is the best gun ever!

A 357 Mag can shoot through an engine block. Isn't this one of the more popular ones?

I thought it was a .44 magnum.
