Guns are a weapon.
And there is a fair bit of other weapon nonsense in here as well... just not nearly as much!

I'm sorry. I just really, really, really like guns. I like shooting em, I like buying em, and I like working on em, I like talking about em.
I'm strongly considering taking some classes and becoming a gunsmith.
Also any time I bring up knives or something nobody responds.

That is what someone who isn't really sorry would say

Not really anything to be genuinely sorry about though.

I'm not really sorry. I grew up in close proximity to Canada, so that happens from time to time.
I have been keeping my eye on eBay for good deals on swords and bayonets though.

That way lies madness though, Wordweaver... Ebay is an agent of the deebil.

Yeah, it's looking like that.
I just put a bid in for buffalo horn grips for my Bersa Firestorm.
Yesterday I bought a charging handle for my Hi-Point carbine and a grip, rubber buttplate, and stripper clip package for my Mosin.
There's a pending bid on a Leupold scope.

Jesus.
Take care with all of that!

Well, the charging handle was 12 bucks with free shipping, the Mosin package was 20 bucks free shipping, and I've already gotten the 30 dollar DW grip in the mail. So I'm not in too big of a hole yet.

...Hard to argue with that.

Also keeping my eye on some body armor, something covert unlike the combat armor I picked up a while back. So if I pull the trigger on that I'll put that up here.
Cuz you're right, we don't talk armor much.

More armour would indeed be nice. And I am curious about the modern stuff.

There's some newer, very lightweight, very thin, hard armor options out there. One in particular that I'm looking at is DKX Max plate. These plate weigh only 20 ounces each (they friggin float!), are only about 1/4th of an inch thick and are rated IIIA so they'll stop most any pistol round. They have a far longer life span than standard soft armor and have a much greater resistance to trauma. They run about 200 bucks per plate. So a front and back plate plus a covert carrier would run around 500 to 550 depending on the carrier. So that would be around 3 pounds for an everyday vest that affords excellent protection.

Cheaper than getting myself some chain mail and wearing it under my clothes, that's for sure.

Plus chain probably won't stop a bullet and certainly won't stop blunt force trauma.
