Vote For Your State Gun

 

 

 

 

"Do you wish your state would follow Utah’s lead and select a state gun? Well here’s your chance to nominate an official state gun — handgun or long gun— for your home state.

 

In 50 words or less, make a case for why that firearm is an appropriate “fit” for your state by leaving a comment at the link below. We’ll keep a running tally once we have a few to report so you can see the results. When we have a couple bushels of ‘em, we’ll get them to the right “State” people.

 

Now let’s get rollin’!"

It's got to be the classic M1A Carbine from WWII. Historic firearm, banned by name for no possible reason. It would be great to have it as our state gun.

I voted for a super soaker.

this is NJ so im thinking something along the lines of this

 

 

 

on a more serious note I like the idea of something historic and the irony of the M1 Carbine is clever. I think I would prefer the M1 Garand though.

 

 

 

completely unrelated but while i was looking for a "gun fingers" picture on google images i came across these epic eggs

radar gun for the police state

M1 Carbine, that would've been my choice too.

Radar gun-

 

"The Breda M37 was a gas-operated, air-cooled heavy machine gun. The Breda used a larger cartridge than its rivals, the 8 mm x59RB Breda. Unlike other infantry machine guns, the Breda lacked a camming mechanism for initial extraction of the cartridge case after firing, and this meant that each cartridge had to be oiled via an oiling mechanism before being fed into the chamber. This attracted dust and debris, particularly in desert environments such as found in the Italian Army's WWII campaigns in Libya and the Western Desert.

 

Another drawback was that the gun was fed by 20-round strips of cartridges. This limited continuous fire, as the gun could only be fired rapidly when a second crew member fed in one ammunition strip after another. The rounds still had to be oiled to stop the casings sticking in the chamber, with all the disadvantages this entailed. Another peculiarity of the design is that the spent casings were reinserted into the strip as each round was fired. The mechanical energy required to perform this function substantially reduced the rate of fire, and the weapon tended to jam whenever a casing was reinserted even slightly out of line. It also meant that in the event the metal clips had to be reused, the gunner's assistant had to first remove the empty cases from the strips."

 

Or maybe the Chauchat

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chauchat both were pretty big failures at being guns.

 

This is just SO wrong on SO many levels - it's perfect for NJ - the Kotex Blaster...

 

Maybe a few shots from this "gun" will stop this state from bleeding too.

I'll bet that setup isn't legal in NJ.

 

1) Barrel too short

2) Multiple pistol grips

3) Big Bullet Blasting Belts of more than 15rds

 

 

 

Here's NJ's official state gun with optional optics package. "Pew Pew" sound effects package available for an additional fee.

And with an additional permit, of course.

Absolutely! God forbid we allow people with a history of mis-using sound effects to get one of these...

I was trying to figure out what this gun had to do with NJ... and then i figured it out... absolute fail just like NJ..

N.J. = anything non lethal that utilizes smart gun technology !

exactly

No love for the peacemaker? :icon_neutral:

I say M1 Carbine for the irony factor. Another thought since it was made in NJ: The Colt Paterson (Irony strikes again considering the gun crime in Paterson)

 

The Colt Paterson was the first commercial repeating firearm employing a revolving cylinder with multiple chambers aligned with a single, stationary barrel.

 

I say the Singer Sewing Machine Co. 1911. Made in Elizabeth, NJ and about as rare as a CCW.
