CrashbotUS Posted August 14, 2015 Report Share Posted August 14, 2015 I found it to be rather loud and with an excessive muzzle flash. I agree, it might just be a pricey range toy. Minister of Finance will likely not sign off on another firearms purchase this year. Despite what seems to be the popular opinion I've noticed here, I rather like the XD .40 I have for daily carry.

Meplat Posted August 14, 2015 Report Share Posted August 14, 2015 I did not think the blast was bad at all, but I've been shooting Cz52's and other 7,62X25mm pistols for a while. Miniature "fire rings" from hot Soviet or Czech SMG ball were the norm for a time. The mag capacity was semi-attractive, again, I have a decent high-cap 9X19 for that though. I just find the XD line to be a bit blocky. If I want "blocky" I have a P-38. Otherwise I just have no real interest in them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khand-e Posted August 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2015 For what it's worth, my wife really, really likes the FiveSeven Mk2 for whatever reason. Think she actually wants one at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Collimatrix Posted August 14, 2015 Report Share Posted August 14, 2015 On an actual firearms related note, I had the chance to put a few rounds down range with a FN 5.7 and I am still on the fence about it. Anyone have any thoughts, pro or con, about it? Love the concept, hate the execution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donward Posted August 14, 2015 Report Share Posted August 14, 2015 Love the concept, hate the execution. Have we been able to test it on enough dissidents to know how well it does in executions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Collimatrix Posted August 14, 2015 Report Share Posted August 14, 2015 Utterly miserable. The chasing-barrel blowback and the fact that it can fire out of battery is terrible if you're a commissar used to pushing your pistol right to the back of Trotskyite wreckers' skulls!

Sturgeon Posted August 14, 2015 Report Share Posted August 14, 2015 The Five-seveN handgun is kind of a neat idea. I wish they had gone for a conventional slide, but I suspect they had to use mostly plastic to meet the slide velocity figures they wanted. My big beefs with it are that it feels really cheap, and isn't all that ergonomic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donward Posted August 14, 2015 Report Share Posted August 14, 2015 So here is a story idea I bequeath upon Sturgeon. Elvis Owned An M-16! http://www.thestranger.com/music/feature/2015/08/12/22681092/elvis-owned-an-m-16 The Stranger is Seattle's other Alt Paper and did a comic commemorating Elvis' death with different fun factoids including the fact that The King had a fully automatic M-16, a Thompson sub-machine gun and "an assassin rifle" with a detachable scope and magazine. He also toted around a derringer and a .41 Magnum revolver. Your mission... I want a story on Elvis and his M-16. Preferably with photos!

Sturgeon Posted August 14, 2015 Report Share Posted August 14, 2015 That's a good idea, Donward.Now, give me a complete list of synonyms for the name of the King of Rock 'N' Roll. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donward Posted August 15, 2015 Report Share Posted August 15, 2015 Doesn't make him funny or his opinions interesting. No matter how many hookers he has in his videos. Bro humor is dime a dozen. Collimatrix 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex C. Posted August 15, 2015 Report Share Posted August 15, 2015 He isn't trying to be funny. Honestly, I am not sure what he is trying to do aside from have some fun (he seems quite good at this). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donward Posted August 15, 2015 Report Share Posted August 15, 2015 Being a douchebag while paying people to use firearms in an unsafe manner? I know strippers don't have souls and all but one of them is going to catch a spent shell casing in the wrong place or half their silicon implants ripped out when a gun malfunctions.

At least the mound of brass and the crispy barrel was amusing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
