ok so what would you like me to call it? If I said rifle, 80% of the time you would automatically think of an AK or something along those lines. Maybe I should say I want a "Snipers Rifle" as in a rifle a sniper uses? ANd actually I havent played any video games in about 3 years now, so sorry, wrong again. Anywho, stop being an ass, its a thead about guns, not people 'trying' to show off there 'knowledge'

oh, and btw, here is the definition of 'sniper rifle'

sniper rifle

n : an extremely powerful rifle developed for the military; capable of destroying light armored vehicles and aircraft more than a mile away [syn: precision rifle]




ya i know, most civilian guns arent really used that much, I just like to have them and go 2 the shooting range. And when you have a big gun like that alot of it is for braggin rights. Its like having a ferrari, ya theres other cars on the road faster, but its a ferrari, ya know?

just curious..why do you americans like guns so much?? like..why would you spend $4000 on a gun??...honestly. You dont have any thing else to buy, or look forward to? If i had $4000, i would save it and use it later for a down payment on an appartment, or a new car. Or even maybe take a vacation over seas. but $4K on a gun you are gonna use what? once a week to hit a peice of paper? Ill send you $2 and a straw to go buy a pack of paper to make spit balls and hit a peice of paper. Sorry, i just dont understand why any one would need like a hand gun...let alone a sniper rifel.

rant over.

Handgun = personal protection, target shooting

Sniper rifle...not so sure the need, but our Constitution protects the right to own.

Other than that, many Americans enjoy hunting and target shooting. Plus, owning guns is no different than any other hobby. Cars, sports, etc. You don't do them very often, but when you do it's enjoyable.

its a hobby. just like cars, you have a celica, which is perfectly fine, but why did you do modifications? did it really need a new suspension, rims, ect.? add up all the money you spent on your car and think of what you could have done with the money. With guns, they dont really lose much value, so in 5 years I could still sell my desert eagle for well over a $1000. But with cars, you pay say $10,000 for it, in 5 years and 80k miles later, how could you sell it for? anywho my main point is its a hobby. everyone has one

DE's are expensive Especially the .50AE stupid retail markups One of these days ill get one. But the car is a better hobby for me.

And you are totally right on the hobby. Not everyone buys a gun to go commit a crime, or intentionally kill people. Some people enjoy bow and arrows and spend excessive amounts of money on compound bows, custom made arrows out of lightweight composite materials with fancy synthetic fletchers for more consistency. I would also like to point out the summer olympic sport called "Shooting" So the generalization that only "Americans" enjoy shooting is bull****. Oh and its been an olympic sport for over a hundred years.

My roommate from college has put like over 10k in one of his neons and he takes it to the strip to race it maybe couple times during the summer. How is that not the same as going to a range and fireing off some bullets? Good launchs, reaction times, shifts are gained by repition, As is compensation for windage, range, and movement of the target in shooting. It comes down to skill. Thats why snipers in the military tend to be the best of the best when it comes to being a marksmen and more often than not those snipers had prior rifle experience before joining the armed forces.

That ends my rant.

Funny I found some world and olympic records. Not that many americans hold the records.
