If I had a real deal 74 these are all I'd use. So fucking cool looking.

How the fuck does that even work? Do you have to hold the gun up with the foregrip while pulling the firing hand back to cycle the bolt? Looks incredibly uncomfortable.

This looks like a halo circa reach rifle.

well im proud to say that i was able to shoot a real gun today for the first time in a very long time. It was pretty fun. My dads business is a boat repair business and since we are slow in the winter we tend to do side projects. This year was the restoration of our old 32 ft "house boat" that my grandfather use to own. He passed away and the ownership was given to my dad. Inside we found an old rifle from either the 40's or 50's (hopefully one of you could inform me, ill have to get a picture). It doesn't hold a magazine but just shoots little 22's and can hold up to about 3 of them. Was pretty cool shooting the thing off!

It's a .22. It operates at 24k PSI. Chill your shit.

Don't worry it's JUST a 9mm, not like it's a .40 or .45!

I think the point was the amount of damage it could cause from a chamber failure would be minimal compared to other ammo types. However, it is usually a good idea to get old, idling firearms inspected before firing, especially if the previous owner can offer no insight.

A bloo bloo bloo, a gun that's 60 or 70 years old and has presumably been in at least passable storage that whole time!

Maybe if it was a battlefield digup, of completely unknown source and age, or in some other way questionable, I'd worry. A .22 that's less than a century old and not literally falling apart from rust is not particularly dangerous.

You people severely underestimate the longevity of steel.
