Most houses only give out little .22's for Halloween, but go to the ritzy neighborhoods and you'll get full sized DEagles and P-90s.

My neighborhood would be seized up Hi-Points

[-] shalafi@lemmy.world 15 points 1 month ago

I have a .45 Hi-Point carbine. Flawless operation, had never malfunctioned, weighs 10-pounds, impossible to clean. Along with other... odd design choices.

Hi-Points are what you get by giving a group a very smart engineers a list of things the product needs to do. A group of engineers that has never seen an actual gun.

For everyone trying to imagine what they are talking about - i had no clue

[-] HowManyNimons@lemmy.world 13 points 1 month ago

Mum the yanks are talking about their guns again.

[-] shalafi@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago
[-] bluewing@lemm.ee 3 points 1 month ago

Poor photographic skills. Were are the holed socks or bare feet in the picture? You need to either turn in your HiPoint or destroy that picture and take a proper photograph!

White is much better. Nice!

[-] TexasDrunk@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

I have a Hi-Point .45 pistol and that pretty accurately describes it (the weight is fine but the balance is weird and makes it feel terrible).

I use it as a close range backup when I'm hog hunting. I've only had to use it once and it worked just fine. It literally saved me from being at least maimed and possibly dead but I still hate it. And I'll keep using it until it stops working, which may be the apocalypse.

[-] shalafi@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Damn. I really want one, but I already have a Colt .45 and the weight is the same. Is it this one?

Speaking of hogs, I'm outside all the time in NW Florida and have never seen one or evidence of them. OK, two came to my house, apparently lost, but I've never seen them in the wild. Horror of mine as a sounder would level my camp in the boonies. Where they at?!

[-] TexasDrunk@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

It's that in black. That Colt is going to feel much better, though.

Northeast Texas. I've got a buddy up there with some land and we have to go clear them out a couple of times a year. They tear up everything. He lost a dog to them a few years ago and now we go out there like clockwork instead of waiting for them to get closer to the house.

[-] rugburn@lemmynsfw.com 1 points 1 month ago

I have a Sig Sauer p320, had to send it in to get the "drop issue" fixed. Doesn't matter how much you spend, engineering failures are everywhere. Not so much a knock on Hi Point as the neighborhood is live in. The one I found discarded in my yard two years ago had been rusted to the point of being inoperable.

[-] bluewing@lemm.ee 2 points 1 month ago

Another Person of Culture and Class I see. I too have a Sig P365XL.

Though I prefer my Remington New Army for most things.

P90, it's Secret Service sponsored entrapment.

[-] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 1 month ago

A p90 and not a complementary Five-seveN?! How unamerican.

[-] roguetrick@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Kids just primarily prefer a handgun cartridge that's suitable for putting into a rifle for game hunting. It simplifies what sort of ammunition to carry in their backpack. .45 long colt or .357 magnum should do the trick. 10mm auto if you're dead set on semiautomatic.

[-] HowManyNimons@lemmy.world 54 points 1 month ago

Lunatics put blades in those things.

[-] InternetCitizen2@lemmy.world 27 points 1 month ago

They're called bayonets, sir.

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 4 points 1 month ago

He's talking about the ones in the licking hole.

This is how you stop school shootings. Good kids with guns stop bad kids with guns.

[-] gibmiser@lemmy.world 28 points 1 month ago

Lawful evil kid standing behind a tree spawn camping the newly armed trick or treaters

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 28 points 1 month ago

Give some kids some candy, they eat candy for a day.

Give them a handgun and they eat candy wherever they fucking want.

[-] iii@mander.xyz 13 points 1 month ago

Americans are so generous.

Come on guys let’s go to the Hendersons house they give Full Auto’s, we can egg this house later.

[-] Assman@sh.itjust.works 10 points 1 month ago

I always eat a few of their bullets. That's called the Dad Tax

[-] YtA4QCam2A9j7EfTgHrH@infosec.pub 9 points 1 month ago

I hope they have at least 15 rounds each in them. Not a those shitty California clips.

[-] neanderthal@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago

clips.

Magazines. Magazines include a feeding mechanism, usually a spring. Clips just hold bullets together.

[-] NoForwardslashS@sopuli.xyz 4 points 1 month ago

Very pedantic for a neanderthal

[-] LifeInMultipleChoice@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago

Neanderthals were fairly progressive, mancaves came later.

"I heard this house on only has compact 9mm hi points, pfft, they say the house next door is giving out full size sig sauers, let's go there"

[-] InternetCitizen2@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

gross they still have serial numbers

[-] prayer@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 month ago

Don't worry, there's always that one house that gives out files instead.

[-] bluewing@lemm.ee 1 points 1 month ago

We have a dremal at home........

What's up with Lemmy getting me to look up guns today?

[-] InternetCitizen2@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

Texas got its power back and is posting again.

[-] doingthestuff@lemy.lol 2 points 1 month ago

Shooting guns at paper targets, sporting clays and other targets is tons of fun.i took my MIL to a quiet outdoor range to shoot for the first time in her life. A few months later she bought a Glock 17. Reduced capacity magazines because California, but she loves to go shooting.

[-] KrapKake@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

🎶 Kids With Guns🎶

[-] Sam_Bass@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

probably would find that out here in the boonies further back

[-] Allonzee@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Wait, does Halloween even exist outside the US and its hat?

I thought it was just an us and our hat holiday.

[-] LifeInMultipleChoice@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

Id imagine it exists everywhere the Catholic Church went. Most places likely didn't commercialize it to people like we did though.

Think it's called All Saints day in some places

[-] stoy@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 month ago

In most of Europe, tomorrow evening most people will go to the graves of their former relatives and light candles, it is quite beutiful.

I am considering bringing my trusty kerosene fuled storm lantern for both ambience and finding my way in the dark chruch yards.

[-] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Do they give you your free candy when you get to the graves or is that later? When do you get the sweeties?

[-] notsure@fedia.io 2 points 1 month ago

not funny...funny...

[-] neanderthal@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

They all have mags in them. Hopefully they aren't chambered.

[-] bluewing@lemm.ee 2 points 1 month ago

Well maybe only half of them are loaded. Have you priced ammo lately? It's getting more and more costly to fill a high capacity magazine these days. Let alone that many!
