I just got a Nerf Proton gun - it is perhaps my favorite toy gun… I like how there are a few steps to reload it and its features. The trigger won’t work if the disc is loaded upside down or if no disc is loaded. Here’s a short video:
The very long range is a bit annoying in the house… it bounces around everywhere and can be hard to find where the discs went.
Today I got a Nerf Rapidstrike for a nephew for $30 (normally $70). It has fast automatic fire and a transparent 18 shot magazine. It sounds pretty good but I’d prefer if it had multiple magazines (though some are available on ebay). It has rubber on the bottom of the magazine so you can press the eject button and let it drop to the floor.
I should be picking up my next “toy” gun soon, have it on layaway
Ruger 10/22 Stainless “Kittery Trading Post Special”
Only 275 made
Stainless barrel and brushed aluminum reciever
Gray composite (wood) Altamont-made** Monte Carlo stock with Schnable fore-end
I had one a while ago, but sold it to fund an AR-15 purchase, and always regretted parting with it, last week one was traded in at KTP so I put it on layaway
The price?
$300
** Altamont makes very nice high end composite gun stocks and handgun grips
(Note: I’ve been shooting since I was 12, was taught to shoot on a small rifle by my dad [country boy and Army vet], have taken safety classes, and had training for everything I shoot.)
MacTech, I am jealous of your Kittery Trading Post special. One of these days I will move out of Massachusetts and into Maine, and I’ll get my firearms back.
Yes, please move out of Nannychusets, I can’t understand how any recreational shooter can stand living under their onerous, restrictive gun laws
Thankfully, I never need to go into that horrible state, besides, with the number of spent shells I have rattling around in my car, I doubt I’d be welcome there anyway, as I don’t have a mass. Firearms permit, simple possession of even a single fired .22 Short case could make life unpleasant for me, if I understand mass. Firearms laws, which I freely admit I probably don’t…
I was going to get a Pyragon locally off of eBay - the current bid was $10. I remembered a few minutes before it ended. Then I continued to do my job and completely forgot about it! :mad: :smack: I was going to bid when there was less than a minute to go so the other guy wouldn’t be able to outbid me.
Usually on eBay they’re about $70.
Check out the “slam-fire” mode:
It has a special magazine that rotates and holds 40 discs.
I finally bought a good replica pistol. It was $300 for a Beretta. They said you can get second-hand guns for $150 but to get them you need a gun license for about $300 plus a gun club membership for about $300 per year. The replica was really heavy. It had the top slide action, the hammer pulled back to 2 different positions and there was a magazine eject button. Like the others it didn’t have a moveable safety switch. In the past I bought a plastic replica but I had the safety on but my case worker tried to pull the trigger and he broke it. I also got a cheap luger or walther(?) replica but I didn’t like it and I asked my dad to sell it. (He subscribes to a shooter magazine and has some rifles)
The magazine had a spring in it so you could load bullets but they weren’t allowed to sell the bullets even if they didn’t work.
I also got a $40 cap gun revolver. It had a second hammer-like thing on the back for making the front part of the gun tilt so you can load in the caps. Then you can flip your wrist to make the front part of the gun snap shut again.
I’m thinking he’s in the Dancing Hall of Fame, SpeedwayRyan JohnClay, I’ve usually get my cap guns in the dollar store; the fancy ones like you’re describing are much more expensive; like $3.50.
Where do you live that you must give $300/year to a private entity to continue to own a real gun?
I went to a gun club with a guy who was also mentally ill. Since it was more than five years since we’d been involuntarily hospitalised we were allowed to shoot. For $25 we got a safety presentation, ear plugs and 50 rounds. I was supervised by an attractive old lady. The targets were 50 metres away and I missed about half the time because I was too shaky. I told the lady that photos often get blurred when I use a camera. It would be due to my psychiatric medication. I used to be able to put in contact lenses but then I was unable to since my first hospitalisation. We were only allowed to put in 5 rounds at a time. I guess to minimise the damage if we wanted to get up to mischief.
I bought my son some pistols which shoot suction cup tipped projectiles from the dollar store, my wife you play with them more than he does I think you bought them for you to play with(I’m a nervous figeter).
Heh. For years I had a human silhouette target with bullet holes in the chest and head hanging in my office at work. Everyone had their own story about it. But it was just a souvenir from the gun range.
