Oh, and to reply to the whole girls and guns title, my sister has been hunting and shooting since she was 13.

That one girl seemed pretty strong. She held up an M60 like it was nothing...

That guy who holds up his gun, about 30secs through, I think I know the girl after him...

Same chick that made you have a panic attack and then made your heart flutter thus making you post every 5 minutes about it?

Are there laws stopping you from shipping in FA weapons from Africa or Eastern Europe?

Yes, it is illegal. In fact, there are limits on how many semi-autos you can import IIRC.

This will really get Thrawn's goat:

Here in Canada, anything over 12.7mm is considered artillery, and not even a FIREARM. I have M203's, a 14.5 anti tank rifle, and a 20mm Hispano, all of which are live fire capable, but I only have real rounds for the 14.5 on hand.

Thrawn · « **Reply #25 on:** August 23, 2004, 04:41:28 PM »

Oh, I trust Canadians with firearms.

Dune · « **Reply #26 on:** August 23, 2004, 04:49:35 PM »

Here's something else. Like Canada, in the US, anything over 12.7mm is a cannon. Which means the US .50 cal is considered a rifle cartridge, but the British .55 Boyes round is a cannon.

However, this doesn't apply to large cartridges used for hunting because of special permission from the ATF. There are several hunting rounds that fall into this catagory such as the .505 Gibbs, .550 magnum, .600 Nitro, .700 Nitro Express, etc.

BTW, here is pic of the.550 Magnum.

550 mag, 460 weatherby, 458 lott, 30-06

The specs on the .550 are: 700 grain bullet doing 2420 fps. Over 9000 ft lbs of energy. Compare that to the standard .30-06 load of a 160grn bullet doing around 2700fps (ballpark figures).

M60 is only 23 pounds.
It is a heavy pig tho after humping it mile after mile.
When I jumped as a 60 gunner I tipped the scales over 300 ponds when loaded down with gun,two chutes,rucksack,and other crap loaded in the ruck.

I live in Michigan and would like to acquire an FFL (3?) to be able to own, fire a Thompson auto. I've always wanted one.

I've heard THEY ARE far from EASY to get, but if someone has some help for me, I'd appreciate it. My USP.45 is fun to shoot, but it's time for something else to be thrown in the mix.

You cant legally purchase an automatic thompson, but im sure you could buy this semi auto (at a mere $5,000) http://www.gunsamerica.com/guns/976216543.htm and have just as much fun.
