I think my dad paid only about 120 USD; it was something of a gift so I'm not exactly sure. The Chinese have unleashed a flood of them on the market, I guess the peoples militia finally upgraded, so you can now find them pretty easily for about 100-120. A thousand rounds of ammo would probably run you around a hundred fifty bucks.

Problem is, alot of this ammo that you buy in bulk like that is corrosive crap that will eat your gun all to hell if you don't clean it religiously. I clean my guns religiously anyways, so...

I'd not want to try to use any of the swords you listed for anything other than hanging on a wall....the United Cutlery pieces are almost all rat tail tangs and the movie pieces have the overall structural soundness of a skyscraper made of marshmallows.

At the moment, I have my selection of training weapons and my foot long dagger.

I'm holding off till I have enough cash set aside to get a decent blade made.

Various bats

Bladed weapons:
2 Swiss army knives
4 folding blades
2 letter openners, both quite sharp
1 Throwing knife
1 Machete
1 'Rambo' Knife (You know, really fucking big knife with the wierd thick serration on the back)
1 Calvalry Sword, not very sharp but it works...

Guns:
BB Gun
Various Shotguns and Rifles...don't think we have any ammo though.

Wish List:
Katana/Wakizashi

Symmetry · Post by **Symmetry** » 2003-09-30 07:16pm

Blunt Weapons
-Kubaton (like http://www.karatedepot.com/ot-ke-25.html but with a better grip)
-belt
-coat
-head corner
-fingers
-middle or first knickle
-grip
-heel of palm
-inside and outside edge of hand
-fist
-back of fist
-bent wrist
-forearm
-elbow
-knee
-shin
-calf
-heel (bottom and back)
-balls of foot
-side of foot

I might have forgotten some. Oh, I also have a few knives, but no good combat ones, so I'd probably rather just stick to the list above. So far I've studied Hupkido and Tae Kwan Do, but I'm looking to learn some American Jujitsu soon.

Keevan_Colton · Post by **Keevan_Colton** » 2003-09-30 07:19pm

Well if you want to include "unnofficial" weapons, I suppose I should add my keys on thier 3 foot length of steel chain....used it before to beat the shit out of some schmuck that pulled a knife on me....and my vestly amusing selection of golf umbrella's which can cover all your self defense needs when out for a walk.

Utsanomiko · Post by **Utsanomiko** » 2003-09-30 07:37pm

-1 Boken + partner Boken, both purchased in Kyoto
-1 Boken matching the ones above that Spanky keeps in his dormroom, despite being mine

(purchased later on trip to Kyoto, iirc)
-Pair of padded nunchucks

-Winchester model 70 .243 Bolt-action rifle (with Nikon adjustable scope).

-Access to the same ~52 gun collection spanky does, plus tens of thousands of rounds of various ammunition.

Current wish-list:

-A display or non-sharp Katana and/or some type of hald-and-a-half/bastard sword, possibly.
-Add a sling to the Model 70, and maybe a folding/retracting bipod to the barrel as long as it's not cumbersome or unsightly (it's a bit of a pipe-dream, I'll admit).
-Sword-chucks, yo!
-Winchester Model 87 Lever-action Shotgun 12-guage (most likely the Tri-Arms remake)
-Winchester Model 94 Lever-action rifle (undecided calibre, maybe .30-06 if it's avaible)
-Benelli 12-guage Legacy semi-aoto shotgun (just saw one the other day. Impressive)
-Winchester Model 1300 Defender 8-shot with changable shoulder stock/pistol grip
-Maybe a .22-LR Ruger or a single-shot rifle, just to balance things out.
-Various pistols that I'll need to look into in order to narrow down to five or six. A 9mm Baretta, a Walter P-38, a Taurus .22 Hornet, or something by Colt, Browning, or H&K would be nice.
-Custom-fitted LC Smith or Parker 12-guage side-by-side shotgun.

Anywho, the Third Man is right: 24' means 'Tewnty-four feet', 24" means 'twenty-four inches', though maybe I should have simply said I have a 7" dick and see if people take the hint that way.

And to Symmetry: don't feel stupid, he's referring to The Terminator and meant a .45 with laser-sight. Walper should be ashamed of his inaccuracies and absurd vagueness.

Raptor 597 · Post by **Raptor 597** » 2003-09-30 07:46pm

A .22 Springfield '69(maybe '68 ) Rifle
Numerous Shotguns across the street
I also have a few decent knives arund I intend on getting a good bow soon.

Erm...lesse...

hockeystick, homemade napalm, homemade flamethrowers, a few tons worth of hurtling metal if need be on the drive. Inventive mind.

Wishlist: the minigun from T2.
M79(i think) Grenade Launcher from T2
Tesla Coil.

Why? You wouldn't be able to carry anything like that with ammo and batteries. Plus, the recoil would throw it out of your hands.

M79(i think) Grenade Launcher from T2

Meh, go all out, get an M-16A2 with an M-203 underneath the barrel. Heck, if you're gonna do that, get a Mk. 19 fully automatic 40mm grenade launcher. Shoots the same thing as the 203 and 79, only faster.

Sorry about busting your dream of owning a hand held minigun, it is just that any self respecting grog like myself can't let something like that just slide by.

I want a pair of light rocket-launchers installed under my car's front bumper (or my next car, depending on what it is). That way I can blow out the back tires of cars in front of me and force them to swerve out of my lane.

YT300000 · Post by **YT300000** » 2003-09-30 08:41pm

Well, I'm 14 and live in Canda. So no guns.

One tiny brick of Semtex.

Giant barrels full of potassium nitrate, sulfur and charcoal. Can make enough black powder to level several houses, and damage many more.

1 machete.

1 swiss army knife.

A couple axes.

A shit load of cuttlery.

Lots of misc weapons (blackjacks, a quarterstaff, long hard rods, etc.)

*Ahem*

The Aston Marin V12 Vanquish. Best Bond car yet (just wait until the next movie, then it'll probably be a DB9).

Well, lets see, I sleep next to a machete, I have a pair of chicken shears I take to school if I need sciossors or if people fuck with me. I have various tools scarttered around the house for easy access, including a 3 foot crowbar, pick axe, claw hammer, ice pick, some sort of level that is basicly a metal pole with a heavy curved top that is perfect for bludgeoning, and a pocket knife here and there, and a little something I call "extreme predjudice" perfect for lead pipe-fu.

Once I move out I'll probly start arming my self better, most of all I want a cane sword, since my nickname is Granpa, I also want a falchion, one of those short katanas(can't remember the correct name), and one of those fifty caliber Smith and Weston hungting handguns.

Hyperion · Post by **Hyperion** » 2003-09-30 09:24pm

My list:

1 17watt CW cutting laser in a home-made portable bazooka-size system. Effective range is 100 feet to light stuff on fire, and a permanent blind range up to 1500 feet roughly.

1 quarterstaff

1 3 1/2 foot bastard sword

1 short sword

1 bag of assorted fireworks, powder, and other "fun" things.

1 bolt launcher (spring-powered goojie which fires 2 foot long sharpened steel rods with enough power to go thru the side of a house and still embed in the garage door of the house across the street)

1 A-10 vulcan cannon round (and a 12v battery pack with 2 gator clips)

1 antique derringer-style single-shot muzzle loader pistol, with a round and enough powder for one shot.

And a bunch of random stuff I can easially turn into weapons with no effort on very short notice. This is a definate advantage to being a tinkerer, you have several rooms full of things that can be used for sinister purposes when used properly.

I also have the usual machete in the house someplace, but I forgot where it went. It's one of the really cool, but nasty 36" ones, and I sharpened the back edge of it, so it's really wicked now.

Honestly....that's insulting marshmallows.

And yeah...if those swords ever even make contact with another in any kind of blow...they would shatter....now...a proper cold steel blade however...

*sigh* I need to get my ass up for a job next summer.

I only have a few possessions mainly because my mom doesn't like me having these type of things such as swords etc.

BTW seems wierd. I am afraid of kitchen knives.........well in the hands of other people anyway.

A wooden boken *see what I mean*
A baseball bat

I need to start collecting.

Wishlist:
A bolt-action rifle
Broadsword
Sabre
Shurikens
Throwing axes *^^*
a wooden longbow or mongolian composite.

Cyaround,
Jason

Is that even legal? I thought there were some strict regulations on lasers.

I've used them already. Besides the Swords of Darkness, they are all damn good.

No, I have no idea how well they would fare against a traditionally forged Katana, but they do wonders against old furniture, 2x4's, baseball bats, each other, metal bars, hockey sticks

Anyone call BS on this?

To elaborate, you can't cut jack shit with 17 watts.

Most Laser MARKING systems are 40-60 watts just to
write LETTERS on metal surfaces.

CUTTING lasers are 220-500~ watts.
