Camo paint on a Hipoint 9mm Carbine

Will you post links for my blankety blank kindle.

Nicely done! I enjoy being an artist too...

Great thinking on the straw hat cutout... I use Kerlix (Gauze rolls when making layers now but will definately be playing with the hat idea. :-)

What are your thoughts about the 9mm carbine in general? I rather like the notion because the ammo is absolutely ubiquitous, but a friend of mine has been advising me against it saying that you may as well get a 9mm handgun with a high cap mag and that it's a waste to get a carbine that isn't chambered for a real rifle round.

I put several thousand rounds through a 9mm sub-gun (H&K MP5) It was accurate as all hell and fun to shoot with VERY little recoil. I imagine you're talking about the Hi Point? I haven't used one yet and have read mixed reviews.

A rifle round will serve you better.
Listen to your friend.

Go with a 5.56mm or 7.62mm round.

Here's the difference.

A 9mm in a handgun or rifle can be stopped by body armour.
You need ballistic plates (thick and heavy) to stop a real rifle round.

Many of the "bad guys" in a SHTF scenario will be wearing body armour. Probably level 3a because it is common and inexpensive. Ballistic plates can get expensive for light plates and the wearer will be adding bulk, not likely fro the "bad guys".

Should have used flat paint. sorry start all over.

Every gunner will agree that a Rifle round will out perform a pistol round any day.... He merely asked what the OP thought of the 9mm carbine. (And I butted in) :-)

Who's to say he doesn't already have a number of rifles and was looking for a fun shooter with plentiful rounds?

Very nice choice

Kerlix! That is a great idea, thanks

I know, it is wayyy to shiny. Thanks

Yeah, it works great as a wrap... You can vary the amount of paint that gets to the rifle and create some really cool effects or illusions of depth. Also, after painting, the kerlix doubles as nice ghille material for non flammables. (I wouldn't use it on my guns, but have used it for packs and stuff.)

Cheers

God highpoints are P.O.S., but nice camo.

you mean well, and that's ok, but nevertheless it's still ghey

Nice mall ninja answer. Body armour is heavy, and believe it or not, most people DON'T have it.
If rifle rounds are always better, explain how a .44 mag can drop a black bear with ease, but a 5.56 Nato is not legal for deer hunting.

Now go masturbate, to another gun fantasy, and stop giving bad advice, that may get someone killed.

False, Hi-Point carbines are damn near AK and Glock reliable.

Well I like 9mm, and since it is very common it will be easy to find in any situation. This carbine is great. Where it really works is with smallish women like my wife (5'2" 100 pounds) With this rifle she can shot a good round with little recoil.

9mm handgun and rifle are not the same. The longer barrel will increase both accuracy and velocity of the round. I can get good hits out to 100+ yards. Ask your friend if he can do that with a pistol.

That being said, this does not replace a "real" rifle. In a survival "prepping" situation which is what I do videos about, I would not reccommend this as your only long gun. If $$ is the issue the mosin nagant is hard to beat. If you can go up get the SKS, or AK, then if you have more money you can go AR or something like that.

Yes, the carbines are great the pistols are hit and miss, most of the time due to the mags.

Your friend is correct.

Because self defense happens at over a 100 yards?
Because food gathering will be using self defense rounds?
Because sniping will be legal?
Because you get 1000yard shootouts?

Show me one case of justified self defense at over 25 yards!

a popgun the size of a 12 gauge shotgun.

gecko 45 says bad guys all have level 3 body armor, lol.

Yes, it is about the size of a sawed off single shot.
So is your AR/AK/FAL/PTR/Mosin

the real answer from someone that knows, is that youre not going to be attacked by a black bear, but by uniformed troops directed from DC or elsewhere.
Your gun wont matter, since youre more likely to be assaulted by armored vehicles and artillery of some sort, and ordnance from helos.
Feel free to not believe me, you will see soon enough.
The real work was to not allow your rights to be taken from you not to imagine you have any chance against professionals that you paid to equip.

Funny how "cavemen" in Afghanistan, have been able to deal with the amored vehicles. Helicopters can be brought down, if you wait for the right shot.

REALLLLLLY?

Do YOU get RPG's by the truckload? Do YOU have B10 and B11 recoiless guns? Do YOU get Stingers from the CIA? Do you have access to 20mm Oerlikon AA cannon or 23mm cannon?
ARE YOU WILLING TO TAKE A BULLET IN THE GUT FOR YOUR PRINICPLES knowing there is no rescue?



YOU CANT EVEN BUY GODDAM FERTILIZER or Aluminum powder!


Dont make me laugh, you'll soil yourself and runn off to hide as soon as the xbox gets cutoff..
