This is why NORMAL magazine capacity is NOT 5 rounds, but 30.

Thank you brother I appreciate that! Yes we are a bunch of dudley do-rights up here but that's just the way we are!

I love my .22s but the semis with aftermarket mags are a little bit jammy to bet my life on. Unfortunately I'm bound by the law so it's 5 rounds for me. Thankfully I live in a safe place where my firearms will most likely only have to defend me from the odd raccoon invasion. Zombie apocalypse notwithstanding of course. LOL

normal mag capacity is 10, but I get the point.

Yeah things are just extra screwed up here in Canada. We can use 10 round pistol mags but you would be hard pressed to follow the storage laws and use a pistol effectively for home defense. All our STANAGs are pinned to 5 besides a few which are intended for pistol type ARs. Of course they are in STANAG pattern and function in a standard AR amongst other rifles like the Benelli MR-1 but shhhh don't tell the anti's that.

In most cases any semi auto with a detachable magazine will be pinned to 5 rounds up here.

Another informative video from hickock45:

oops

Of course in their intended design pistol mags generally have a 15-17 round capacity and centre fire rifle magazines are 30 rounders. That's pretty standard worldwide especially for .223/5.56 and 7.62X39 chambered rifles.

That's the one! 10/22s are great little guns and they will "kill the shit out of you" even beyond the range where they can be effectively used to hit a man sized target.. 300 meters even. Not an easy shot with a .22lr but definitely still potentially lethal.

Yeah the people who made our gun laws just did their best to take away as many "privileges" as they possibly could, that's all. They have no understanding of firearms whatsoever. Pretty sad.

Take heed at our example of out of control useless firearms regulations America. If I were to be caught with a normal capacity STANAG I would be in jail so fast.... You don't want to mess around with your mags up here or they will persecute you by process and make an example of you.

Damn... And here I thought it was because jack-booted goons with unlimited ammo, use fully automatic weapons on American citizens.

Intentions unknown...but the aftermath would have contained little girls bloody severed body parts all over the place...

Please remember that although you might be American - not everyone in the world is.

Also, the fail safe you rely on not only is broken, but does the very opposite.

There needs to be a better fail safe.

We need to think smarter next time.

Ban weapons = only the criminals will be armed ... some dickheads have no common sense to see this. bump

good one, moron.

yeah cause so many people need home defense up in canada. keep being afraid of the boogie man. (hes black)

i got taught similar, also, ..... about the spring loading.. the smaller the capacity the more likely to jam....

Inter-school gangs... it's boys vs boys.
Nutters.
Lots of guns here, two within feet of me now!

Lol you talk like youve watched to many Segal movies lol. That video is staged anyways, so obo.

You probably won't read this but I will clarify for you just in case. The point of this thread is to demonstrate the purpose of standard/normal capacity magazines and that 30 rounds is not logically a "high capacity" for a magazine. 30 rounds are standard because when it's time to use the firearm for self defense you can't count on a fair fight, as clearly demonstrated in this video. Lucky for them the handgun was enough, and sure maybe he even only pulled the trigger 5 times, but if it were you in that situation, would you want 5 or 30 rounds between you and a dozen plus armed men with obvious intention to do you serious harm?

Okay so back to reality here in Canada, like I said before I'm glad that I live in a safe place and I recognize that in all likelyhood the only home defense I will be doing with my firearms is against nuisance varmints and wild critters (god willing).

I don't live in Toronto so I don't have to worry about black gangsters shooting up shopping mall I'm in while I'm just trying to find the Orange Julius....

Thread: Shooting at an upscale mall in Toronto, Canada - 1 person dead.

Another desperate attempt to justify guns

gun love is just fear. why stop at 30 rounds? why not a bazooka, some grenades.. why not walk around all day everyday in full body armour, you know, just in case. i did live in Toronto, in the most dangerous part of the city, and took public transportation and walked around by myself at night. only got killed twice.

Hey BuggedOut can you give us any further info on what happened there? Have you heard about this in the news over there? That doesn't look like a group of boys at the table to me, but I'm no expert on oriental features.

These gun threads always make me laugh on here. A load of basement dwellers stroking their crotches and copy pasting standard print from gun sites. I can count on one hand the members of this site with the stones and brains to actualy use their weapons correctly when it goes down.

The rest of you will probs end up blowing your foot of or shooting yer next of kin when yer ring piece starts twitching when it kicks of. Good luck all.

Give me what I want and I will go away.

Well I think you might be lying about the last part so that sort of throws your whole statement into suspect, but you must have left for a reason. Maybe because it isn't safe anymore. Whenever I talk to girls who come from Toronto they always mention how they never felt safe on the street at night.

A carbine rifle with a 30 round mag is the right tool for the job, and less so a handgun with at least 10 rounds but preferably 15. Bazooka, grenades, not so much.

I could probably sell a lot of body armour in Toronto with the almost daily gangster shootings going on there lately. Better to just shoot first though.

you are just afraid. fearful people attract predators. predators smell fear. and i was telling the truth, not about being killed obviously. and i didnt leave becasue i was scared.

They justify themselves quite sufficiently. Just watch the vid. Pretty self explanatory.

lol. keep being afraid. being afraid of getting randonmly shot is about as stupid as being afraid of getting hit by lightening. gun shill.

Okay fine, but would you go back now?

I'm no liar and I won't claim to have no fear in my heart. Although I do not agree that fear is my motivation for self preservation. I wouldn't go live there with the gangsters, and I am no coward. However if you would is that a sign of bravery or ignorance? Think about it. They will shoot your ass over a pair of shoes ffs...
