Thread: Gun Porn, show off your new toys

Maybe they should look at their Lee Enfields and Mauser rifles and wounder where they came from, 60 odd years ago they were the "milspec & 'zombie' guns/whatever". All those flash mill dot scopes are a military design for combat so can also be classed as "milspec & 'zombie' guns/whatever".

Maybe we can have a divorce and end up NZ Shooting and NZ Hunting, that would be a shame because I like both hunting and shooting.

The hunters can throw the shooters under the bus with their "milspec & 'zombie' guns/whatever" because they don't like them. They will soon find that their long range sniper rifles are next on the wanted list. After that we can throw duck hunters and bird hunters on the heap. Don't worry deer and goat hunters you are being replaced by WARO and professional hunters. Shooters will sit back and laugh (actually no).

Sad state of affairs.

...problem really comes from a yank with a history in other forums: who has previously raised the spectre of body armour effectiveness: not sure where that fits in with working together to protect NZ firearms users and interests?

That may be the case in past but apparently not this time.

To be honest I would like to know the effectiveness of body armor also and consider wearing in the bush considering the way some people hunt in this country. Bet a 270 goes straight trough most of it. But at the end of the day, remember he doesn't even live in NZ so who cares.

If you are worried about "image to outsiders" personal insults and threats are not going to protect NZ firearms users and interests either.

trust me you don't wanna wear that shit whilst trudging through the forest it's heavy, restrictive, hot and at best unless it's military spec (which I can't comment on) it "may" be effective stopping light small arms fire but not at point blank.

and yes a .270 would most certainly pass straight through
