Not guns, but on the subject of shooting for sport and self defence.
I took all the little bits off it that came with it, I like to keep it simple. Thinking of ditching the sight too so I can shoot instinctively. Much more fun, and im quicker and just as accurate. Oh, 70lbs of bunny shooting goodness.
Shiny, and very very sharp. Actually sharper then mums kitchen knives, which im sure she is embarassed about. The blade is quite thick and heavy for its size too, more then capable of cutting a pig head off, so more then capable of taking an intruders arm off too. I think it is more fun then a traditional hunting knife. Petty crims in Australia dont have guns, they might have a little flick knife though. Slash > Stab.
No I dont walk around the streets with it on me, that would be illegal. It stays in next to my bed (in a sheath) when im not using it, and when I go hunting it comes with me.
