Yea , what a dick, and yes I would get my parents on my side but there are both dead, so should I fucking look that up how to get new ones I just ask some questions and do not want a bunch of shit, no wonder people HATE the HELL out of people like you !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am 16 and trying the best I can damit !!!!!!!!

Don't fret bud. I am younger to. It seems every under aged guy has to go through some shit. The question is will you quietly sit and watch with respect, like me. Or will you be a loudmouth like Backwoods. He is getting better though. All you have to do to get some respect is keep quiet when the adults are rambling, and give solid input when they are quiet. And one more thing Don't flash your life story around like a badge. I can understand, my story is similar. I don't mean not tell your story, just don't try to prove how hard-ass you are with it.

And by the way, Welcome To The Forums [URL=http://www.smileyvault.co

One tip. Read, a lot, about anything that can/will help you. That, and listen to the old farts on here, and you'll be okay. Lot of good people on here with a lot of good knowledge.

Watch your six.

Very good advice spirit.

Welcome skyhawk. It's not that no one want's to hear your story or where you come from. It's just that most of the guys on here are grown men who are dealing with the responsibilities that adult men have to deal with on a daily basis. What spirit said about not trying to be a bad ass is good advice. It doesn't really do any good to try and convince some of these guys about the time you as a young person might have been a bad ass because many of these guys, some military and some not, are the real thing.

Not me however, and I don't think of myself that way. I'm mostly a peaceful type of guy who resides at the other end of the age spectrum than yourself. There are a few older guys here, a few younger guys, and mostly guys in the middle ages. So it is a good cross section of differing abilities, skills and viewpoints. Just like you'd find in a survival community after WROL.

Most will help you any way they can. Some will test you to see what you're made of and what mindset you have. Here's a tip that will apply to everything in your life and will keep you a cool operator. "Don't allow yourself to get personally invested in anything that has to do with talk." Because talk is just that,.... talk.

Again welcome. Glad you're here.

When I first started as a young Union Carpenter I got a job working for a guy who was my Dad's apprentice.

The guys on the crew would give me shit relentlessly so I asked him "Dave why do these guys give me so much trouble for nothing, I'm a good hand aren't I?"

All he could tell me was "would you rather have them talk shit to you or not talk at all?" It was Dave's way of saying that if they didn't like me they wouldn't have anything to say but because they liked me they felt comfortable joking around with me. It was my view of the situation that was wrong.

So Harden the fuck up young blood. Take it like a man and we will love you forever.

Some good advice above. Learn to recognize when people are testing for a reaction or to measure just how much or little control you have over emotions or perceived slights. There are few tools more useful than manipulating someone or a group thru reactions, the less thought out or wise the response, often the bigger the advantage (this can often be offset by experience, the been there done that thing). As you get older experience will warn you of bad situations well in advance if you haven't spent your time trying to bulldoze thru life.

Yea I guess, I these old guys are like my old girlfriend just full of head trips and games. I been checking into getting a 10/22 ruger when I can and, may be a 9mm, I want an ad 47 but some one said that an AR-15 was better, which one really is the best one ?

Alright man your really going to step into a mosh pit of fucking stupidity now.

You cannot say, one or the other is better. It is a never ending question that circles it self with salt to keep the witches away.
1st I will say a 10/22 is a must have.
As well as a 9mm I use 9mm as my secondary because of magazine capacity and ability for follow up shots. Not to mention if you use the proper load. There is huge amounts of stopping power in that little stinger. Again do your research and make the choice for your self.

If your actually going to jump into the 47/15 fight. I will tell you what I have chosen and why. I will also tell you to take my opinion for what it is. Just some guy on the interwebs who claims to have used it since he was about 5
That I have.

I chose the Ak47 system, my reasons are like many others, its over gassed. Eats all sorts of ammo steel, brass, steelcore, hp, lead core. Doesn't matter. It will work in mud, rain, snow, covered in piss. Roped to a tree. Doesn't matter you pull the trigger on an AK and odds are its going to work.

With that said. I lose a couple of things, like accuracy, weight, prettyness.
The lose tolerances of an AK are what keep it running. So 300 yards is about all you can do. If you got a good one.
Side note- ( look at the statistics on the distance on most modern firefights BTW )
The .30 Caliber bullet is quite a bit heavier than than the 5.56 .24 caliber bullet.
Side note- ( you also wont need to shoot a methed up crack head 26 times including 2 head shots )

The AR is an awesome platform, just depends on what your looking for. Do you want to engage targets out to 600 meters with a .24 caliber bullet. ( Its a .22 bro )
Or do you want your shit to work?
( Like how I did that there? )

Look man, DO YOUR RESEARCH and make a command decision on your own. Your an adult, its your life. Get it the fuck done.

Reaver, Chill dude, take some thing, chill, you missed my point, "You cannot say, one or the other is better", I did not say one is better than the other I was asking. "Look man, DO YOUR RESEARCH and make a command decision on your own. Your an adult, its your life. Get it the fuck done," Well what do you think I am doing here, asking a question form people that know more then me about this. This is part of my RESEARCH, and looking on line and talking people, save the hate for the enemy

reaver you act like ARs do nothing but jam, i do believe YOU have a 15+ year old AR that does nothing but chew up steel case ammo and kick ass. and how many times have you had your m4 malfunction when you need it, when you play army?

Reaver · « **Reply #37 on:** November 09, 2011, 07:41:41 PM »

Its ok man, your new here.

You don't know how I am and its understandable. A lot of people know me in person for the last 20 years and still cannot figure me out.

I was not hating on you in the slightest, I'm not upset with you. I'm not attacking you for the question.

I was simply saying. " when you have learned enough to make a decision, don't dick around. Make a decision and stick with it. "

When you start doubting your decisions you end up with a collection like mine, a vast amount of crazyness. This is not always a bad thing. It can be very good. I am well versed in knowledge and training. But now instead of having an AK74/9mm and 30K in ammo. and the rest in food,water, & other various preps. I have 10+ $ in weapons and only 6 months of supplies.
See what I'm getting at man?

Reaver · « **Reply #38 on:** November 09, 2011, 07:44:06 PM »

Well chesty, My AR never jams. Don't believe it ever really has. But Imagine a sponge bath after every time you get laid. Are you going to change your ways?

As for the Military M4. That things a piece of shit. Partially because a good section of my bolt is scrapped off and they won't replace it.
Why do you think I carry my wrist rocket when I play army?

Well I am thinking more AR, I think that would be a way to go. Colt seems to be good, what is a fair price for a used one

Yes, teh lulz.

My Supply NCO hates it when I tell him I have more faith in a marble doing 150 MPH than my broke as M4

I am in a foul mood guys, so I added a poll to this thread.

Vote Early, Vote Often.

*edit* do your research, you are making a fool of your self

TreadOnMeNot · « **Reply #49 on:** November 09, 2011, 10:13:13 PM »

You need to handle both rifles, shoot both rifles, and practice with both rifles and come up with your decision. It's preference, we really can't tell you what is better bro.

I'd also say, get what you can afford.
