I is awesome, yet highly irregular. o_O

Aaanndd. Nope, not heard of them. Indie?
I was bored.

Um. No. It's Tom Morello's new band. You should check them out.
Whoa. I... need to check them out. He's like... the best and most awesome part of Rage, imo. XD

Also, did RAtM break up?

Okay, in that case, I would suggest a Mosin Nagant 91/30, which is usually around $80 - 150.

From there, you could replace the stock with a new stock (around $50 - 70).

You'd need a gunsmith to drill for a scope mount, as well as modify the bolt handle to accommodate the mount.

Best thing is, ammunition is about 1/5 of the price you'd pay for any modern rifle cartridge, and is just as potent.

Thoughts?

I'm thinking, sir Oro... you've got an idea there.

I've never looked into one of 'em before, though. How are they for accuracy, hunting power, etc.?

The round is the 7.62 x 54mmR; by comparison the .308 is 7.62 x 51mm, so you shoulkd be fine with power there.

Accuracy...well, the Finn's would pick off Russians at 400 yards during the winter war with iron sights, that's enough for me. I've also seen scoped versions hit 18" targets at 1000.


So, you could also buy a Makarov or RIA M1911?

Ah, so, would you ever consider spending more money than a house would cost on a gun?

That honestly depends on how much money I have. I've I'm a multi-billionaire? You betcha. :P

Oh boy... tough one. Depends on what I'm fighting, I guess. I normally will take a gun over a sword, but... if we're talking Halo... well, Flood dun't like da sword. XD

Is your awesomeness level above 9000?????

If not, how much longer until you surpass me in awesomeness?

(I need to know how much longer I have until I have to kill you.)

If I had to kill a man? Like, someone was threatening my family/property/friends? Yes, I would.

Doesn't mean I'd go out murdering, though. :P

My awesomeness is beyond count. (8999, to be exact)

Does that give me sufficient time?
