Just sayin'.
IDK how much more 'realworld' testing you can get other than the box o' truth. Anybody else know any better sources?
Look on youtube...there is a guy trying to get 5 out of 5 on a 18 or 24" plate at 1000 yards with a mosin ex dragoon I believe. Same scope they used back in WW2. Crazy stuff, all he did was work up a load, and free float the barrel and bed the original stock...I think his best was 3 out of 5...
Only the ones that are fun, you know... AR15's with certain names, pistols that are supposedly unsafe but LEO's can walk in and purchase the same day, etc...the laws are pretty lame here especially when we can get around most of the restrictions legally...:headbang2
You'd be surprised at how restricted places like California and New York are when it comes to firearms.
You guys up north have crime problems as well, quite a few in some places that have involved firearms too! (so I've read)
Just remember, firearms laws only take firearms out of the...
Not a rant, just giving my opinion to others who might not know as much as us gun owners might. I didn't think that you were saying don't use a shotgun, but I was giving reasons as to why it's a 'better' home defense gun. Again, with proper training, any good would be the best home defense gun...

Look up the 'box o truth' in google. Old retired guy did a bunch of 'tests' with standard drywall and studs. Made a box that is the equivalent of 6 standard house walls. Tested rifles, handguns, shotguns on it to see the difference between over penetration and the like.
In a home defense...
You need to look up the laws in your home state to make sure there aren't any restrictions. Don't know where you are located, but here in California you need to have either a 'featureless build' or a maglocked rifle that can only accept 10 rounds. If you are buying complete, you'd need to have...
Can't update the first post...here goes.
Hey guys, need to get rid of my tanks, no room anymore
All are empty, ready to be loaded up and taken to a new home. I'd really like everything gone in one go..

No stands, sorry!
Also have a T5HO 2 bulb 24" lamp, not many hours on the bulbs.

Did your eggs ever hatch? I'm assuming no since there have been no posts... have you tried putting in a flat stone or something for them to lay their eggs on?
