What's wrong with a M16 for protection? Would love to have one.

Anyway, they have dry walls, bulltets go thru them easily, and the idiot should know that you don't clean a loaded gun. Eish
Safety first when it comes to guns guys !
 
Would like a M16 too as nowadays you get attacked by gangs but ...Unfortunately here in ZA only protection you are allowed to have is condoms and they are for free. Unfortunatlly the criminals do not shoot with legal guns neither blanks, that's why there is an overpopulation problem in Africa. thus I cannot defend myself and my family with condoms only so will have to resort to illegal guns, shoot the b@stards and then frame them as if it were their guns as I owned none! I only have free issue GVT condoms for protection! and none antivirals! (Only beetroot in a bottle)
 
yip, criminals prefer the AK47... damm, and even they are not stupid enuf to accidentially shoot one-another.
 
An M-16 is excessive for protection, but then again, the best weapon for home defense is a rifle. The M-16, despite it's (many) faults, is light and has low recoil so Mrs. can also operate it.

Still, it's amazing what this guy didn't know about gun safety. Never clean a loaded weapon. Don't guess or assume that the gun is empty, even if you just checked it. The only gun that's empty is the one that has had its barrel removed from the receiver. Almost every accidental shooting I've ever heard of has been with an unloaded gun.
 
I wish I lived in a country where accidental shootings made news... and I wish I had an M-16 :(
 
I think the neighbour accidentally slept with the guys wife. ;)

BTW - the best weapon for home protection isnt a rifle, it's a pump action shotgun.

may well be, but if the situation is dire enough to require deadly force, rather not be under prepared, no?

I'm not sure I agree with this: for my money a properly setup shotgun, as in wide dispersion of shot from a very short range with easy reload a-la a pump action would be better. I mean, take a look at the ranges inside a structure: you're lucky to get 10m in a line, it's more short corridor/room type distances. Also, you have a highly charged situation where aiming with any kind of accuracy becomes, well, problematic; a shotgun goes a long way to alleviating this ..much less the psychological impact (on the intruder) of being fired upon by a shotgun - that's a LOT of boom! And then, in said high tension situation, you'd be doing well to get one or two shots off, much less any significant amount of the magazine of an assault rifle - and anyone firing 'Afrikaans' :cool: without LOTS of (special-ops) training in this kind of situation is basically a 'box' (translate, you know what I mean) sitting on a ticket for a Darwin Award nomination.

Still, it's amazing what this guy didn't know about gun safety.

Heh, as is proved time and again: never underestimate the power of human stupidity.

Never clean a loaded weapon. Don't guess or assume that the gun is empty, even if you just checked it. The only gun that's empty is the one that has had its barrel removed from the receiver.

Fair comment: I personally work to 'the only empty gun is one I've checked - even if I've watched you showing me that it's empty' ..and when I hand it back to you, YOU check for yourself there and then that it is indeed (still) empty!
 
True, a shotgun would be much better indoors... especially as you'd have much less to worry about by way of bullets going through walls and killing the neighbours ;)

...point and click :D
 
Slowing reintergrating into MYADSL are we brian.....
too bad you exploited forum members :(
Your site is down because you haven't payed the bills and Universal Resource Locators aren't caps sensitive....plus you aren't the sole distributor of anything.
And, attemping to defraud that online shop(digitalplanet.co.za) wasn't a good idea now was it?
