So it should be a good gun for the both of them to have fun with. So for ~$460- I can get the 22 MP5 a5 ~$60 -2 - 25 round magazines. ~$100- 1000 rounds of good ammo Best deal I can think of for a first gun.

You are a fool, from a legal standpoint, to teach another mother and father's child to use a firearm. You have no legal or biological relationship to this minor, which happens to be your "girlfriends' daughter". If something were to happen, even well after the relationship is over, you could be liable. |

ZeuZ (OP) User ID: 3389928 United States 09/22/2012 08:17 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | How is me teaching a child to shoot a .22lr any different from when other people's dads were teaching me to shoot them when I was in the Boy Scouts. "But those were bolt action..." Fuck that shit, it's wussies like you that make me want to punch my own dad. If you don't teach kids responsibility, they will fail to recognize it later in life. Make them responsible for their own lives early, and they will respect them much more. The HK MP5 .22lr is reliable, simple to clean, easy to customize, accurate, and will hold it's resale value better than any Chevy. The gun is for plinking, raccoons, and possibly home defense with some CCI stingers. I will probably still get a 10/22 in the future so I can mount it in a g36 chassis. I shot a Mosin Nagant once and I loved it. I hit a 6"x6" stone tile from 200 yards with the iron sights on the first shot. The price is right and the round is huge. I'll probably pick up one of those as well down the road for game hunting. If SHTF and bullets are flying everywhere, at least I won't have to worry about running out of ammo, or going broke trying to not run out of ammo. Eat, drink, and be merry, for tomorrow, you may die. |

End of Days Prepper User ID: 27973302 United States 11/17/2012 10:16 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | If you are looking for something for the end of the world or the fall of humanity I would recommend a Crossbow (Single String) or a Recurve Long bow with a nice supply of arrows and Bolts. Arrows can be made and replacement strings will be easy to create. As far as a gun is concerned, for personal protection I recommend a Walther P22Q for abt $385. It's compact and Ammo is cheap and plentiful. As for a long gun I would suggest a ammo size of .223/5.56x45 NATO. This round is commonly available in civilian and military grade. What I have for this upcoming day is a DPMS A3 Sport Lite .223/5.56x45 |

You can get a side mount for like 50 bucks for any scope.

LOTS of mods available th improve the handling of this great piece of iron. And a handgun for sure,,,,,,I would go with either a full size 1911 in a 45 caliber. Or the same caliber in a smaller framed handgun. TONS of stopping power. And let us NOT FORGET the lowly 22. You will need something to procure your dinner with ,,without drawing attention to yourself. The Ruger 10/22 is very nice but there a number of others that are good too. Even one of those "survival"22s that come apart and have a hollow stock where the barrel goes. And they also FLOAT,,, which is another attractive feature ALL this is subject to personal preferences,, but this would be MY choices for the title of this thread.

A lot of zombie horde wankers here giving advice they fantasize they will be holed up in there suburban lot fighting of hordes of brainless zombies. the fact of the matter is if you allow yourself to get into a situation where a ak,ar or sks is needed then you have already fuked up big time. if it were me id get a combo gun single shot .22lr over 12 or 20 gauge buy a few inserts for the shotgun barrel to allow many common calibers and you are good to go. |

Then you'll understand how it works and how to fix it if something went wrong. Military still mostly uses M4s so most of the parts would be interchangeable along with the ammo. Make sure it's chambered in either 5.56 or .223 wylde so you can shoot 5.56 or .223 rounds. A .223 chamber can't handle the extra pressure of a mil spec 5.56 load. Get a cheapo red dot until you can afford decent optics. I have a Leupold one mine, it will shoot one hole groups at 300 yards with Black Hills 77gr or hand loads. |
