For those saying that its unrealistic that APDS ammo is availebul for all types of guns, heres 6.5x25mm CBJ
That some nice armor penetration for a 9mm pistol, would be cool to get to shoot a few clip of that at armored targets. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cyber.gif) |

Might be able to pick some up at a gun show. I was never expecting to be able to snag Hydra-Shok at one.
'Course, I went with the Remington silvertip hollow-point rounds. You never know when a werewolf is going to try to break in. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/nyahnyah.gif) I realize it's a military round (and you'd have to swap out the barrel on the nine in order to let it fire this stuff), but there are always ways to get a hold of it. It's a sweet round/PDW combo. A micro-UZI that can defeat body armor, low wear ammo with an aluminum jacket? Any way you knock it, that's pretty damn cool. |

In which case, I would develop a lasting (not long, but lasting) hatred of the Swedish.
Maybe my tortured soul would haunt their manufacturing facility. |

Hey, APDS used to always be described as being hard to get (what was the original shadowtalk about it? something about "found a couple of mags at Ft. Lewis once, but I had to use them up just to get out")... no reason to change that now (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

when I bought my pistol the only rounds I could find for it were these weird copper shots. they didnt say they were armor peircing but they dont fragment when they hit so that all the force hits a small spot and wont break. they were really creepy kinda. also really kinda expensive at like a dollar and a half per shot. also I bought them at sheels so they are legal.

Well, there's good reason people thought that, although he hasn't made a move for it yet and the Supreme Court has ruled in favor of the 2nd Ammendment.

Not really. Obama is the president, not a legislator. Maybe there's some things he wouldn't have vetoed, but it's kinda breathtakingly silly that people genuinely start hoarding guns every time a gun control advocate gets into office.

Not silly, just good PR - create a scare out of thin air to make people buy your stuff, then when the imaginary threat fails to materialize take the credit for avoiding it with your "public awareness" campaign. And that doesn't just work with guns (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) |

Pff. The time to hoard guns is when there's a pro-gun President in office; it drives the price down.

Most major arms manufacturers are publicly traded, why haul around all that metal?
