I have an AEG FAMAS, and I have a three-point sling.
I have an AEG FAMAS
AEG FAMAS
AEG

Automatic Electric Gun.

Ergo, airsoft.

I live in Britain for fuck sake, we're allowed air rifles, air pistols, shotguns and that's about it.

...What made you "wait, what?", anyway?

I didn't know what an AEG was. I'm an American. I play with the real things.  8)

Got me an AK, and an FN-FAL.  :tooledup:

Well, Fuck you.  :LOL:

I want an L85A2 with a SUSAT, but hot damn, I'm not paying £300 (that's what, $500-600 at the moment?) for an AEG then another buttload half that again for the SUSAT. Even if it is full metal and weighs the same as the real steel.  :-\

Too bad you don't have a thriving black market for guns yet. The real thing can be a lot of fun. Plus, it makes the cops respect you a lot more. They tend not to fuck with people who they know can shoot back.

There is a pretty big black market for guns in Europe, but you usually have to know someone who is a criminal to get one. The criminals have their own "monopoly on violence", just like the pigs.

I regret that I was actually law-abiding for most of my life.

truthfully, I've never messed with one of those.

Must have something to do with me being left handed and all...

It's ambidextrous, you just pull the cheek rest/ejector port cover (3) off and flip it over.

Yeah, I thought you were all about the computers and games! Though I have a vague memory of you owning a sword,
or maybe that was just another misfire from my addled old brain? :duh:

No, I own a couple of sabres, a swordcane, a couple of junk swords, a few bows, a gas pistol and an AEG.

lmao its a wii controller holder. can you tell im not much of a gamer?

Good for you, young mate. I am not a gamer, either.

My weaponry is all very real and the majority have historical significance as well as still being quite lethal if ever called back into active service.

 
I have listed a few pieces of my extensive collection of interesting military items (seriously, I get typer's cramp before I get halfway through listing just the contents of my three safes that I can recall from instant memory) in the past, but honestly, I always end with becoming quite bored with the ensuing conversations. (either someone wants to bitch about some arbitrary quantity I have exceeded, that is expected to be a maximum, or someone who is into such items begins to focus on one singular type of rifle or pistol or accessory. ) Absolutely NO ONE seems to get it!

Understand that my collection of weaponry was begun almost fifty years ago and I have items that were gifted to me that are over one hundred years old, such as the Colt and holster that MY own great, great uncle (my grandfather's great uncle - however that works out) used as a Texas Ranger in the eighteen nineties. I have fired it. It is quite serviceable to this day. It shoots Long Colt .45, all fucking day long!

Suffice it to say that if we have to protect our streets tonight, I can issue a weapon of some kind, along with substantial quantities of proper ammunition, to every adult in my quadrant of the city. Only one other person in this city knows this, but there is also a Fed presence that surely knows of my collection, since most of my weapons are legal to own.

Oh good LORD. Let's see, I have a hammer lying around here somewhere, some kitchen knives, a dull set of manicure scisssors, some spray cans of air freshener... :zoinks:

I like that. 

I own a number of Sinatra discs. Attackers will have NO chance!

Back at my parents' house, I still have an old Barry Manilow album. :evillaugh:
