antonkr Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 What the title said. Do you own any firearms? Do you use them for target shooting, home defense, hunting or other (wonder how many hitmen this site has) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vindekarr Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 (edited) Crossbow with a short range scope, used to have a Beretta CX-4 Storm complete with a pointer an holographic sight, but those are illegal here, pity really, it's a fine weapon. Guns are virtualy outlawed in Australia, but the laws are enforced very badly. Civilians are yes, prevented from owning anything "dangerous" but those we really need to keep disarmed, like felons, Milats, and gangsters, are frequently found in possesion of military-grade firepower. A raid on a biker gang early this year found such highlights as a Browning M-2 .50 calibre machinegun, an antimaterial sniper rifle also .50 BMG, a few M-60 7.62 mm SAWs various handguns, a few hundred submachineguns, 5.56 and 7.62mm assault rifles, and by unconfirmed reports, a grenade launcher.

DeathWarrior Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 The only gun I have is a bolt-action .22 rifle. But I also have at least 20+ swords/medieval weapons, three of them are homemade (a battle axe and a spiked club finished, a sword in progress) .

I thought Cross bows were illegal as well, I have a slug gun (weak air Rifle), a compund bow, long bow and a sword Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vindekarr Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 (edited) Crossbows are legal if the weapon and it's ammunition are stored in seperate, inspected and certified lockboxes, you are registered with the police as the owner of that individual crossbow, it has a serial number, and you are a member of a club. Im all of the above, as a target archer since my teens, so I qualify, however Im not in a gun club and didn't want to go through the hassle of registering my CX4 so I simply sold it upon moving here. It's funny, I get ribbed for having an Xbow by most archers, they hate the things. I love them, they're easier to use, easier to maintain, and live longer. Still, some people just love the more physical challenge of drawn bows, I preffer the non-cramping shoulders of crossbows.

marharth Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 I am going to end up buying a pistol sometime. Have shot in the past with borrowed guns, never owned one though. I would also like a crossbow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazzerfong Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 @ CommanderCrazy: Damn, you have the 2013! Is it any good? I currently use the Anschutz 1903, and am considering buying a 2013 if it's any good. Anyway, I have an Omarck Model 44, chambered for .308. Heavy as hell, but I guess it helps with the stability and the sling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I currently use the Anschutz 1903, and am considering buying a 2013 if it's any good. It is. Extremely light, low recoil (almost none), and bang on accurate. The stock, while looking very tedious and uncomfortable, is also extremely customizable. It is actually the most comfortable i've used. I'd recommend if you have the money to spare.Mine was a gift.
