What's your latest "impulse buy" . . . . . ?

[ODG_Chad]

WoW I didn't even know that. That is probably why the WMP is messing with my head.
Thank you for the information.
PS: I saw the reviews of the WMP and some of them are actually reliable in using a 40 grain high velocity ammo. I guess in this firearm its a hit and miss.

I'm 99% sure on the ones listed, but Umarex and similar make a lot/most of the 22lr clones. I'm a huge fane of the Ruger MK4 pistols. I had the hunter model, and I only got rid of it for a threaded VQ. It was a fantastic gun.

Umarex owns Walther. According to Wikipedia, they purchased Walther back in 1993. They do indeed make a lot of .22 clones for various manufacturers.

I think Umarex also makes most, if not all, of the officially licensed BB gun clones of real firearms. I know they are big in the air soft and paintball industries.

Most of the 22lr clones are made by Umarex or similar.

Umarex is Walther. So saying "umarex or similar" connotates something other than what it is. They've owned Walther since 1993 so all Walther guns produced since "are umarex". The same factory in arnsberg has been making outstanding 22s for decades for HK, Beretta, Smith and Wesson, Colt, Walther, Hammerli, and others.

Saying this just perpetuates misunderstandings like you can see with hifimagnetics above. Walther makes some of the best 22s out there and has for a long time. Compare Fe an hk mp5 .22 to a GSG mp5 .22. There really is no comparison in terms of quality.

Umarex or similar is my laziness for not looking up to see if Umarex has all 22lr clones.

Edit: Istanbul Silah is the manufacturer

Tubbs had serbu shorty I think

Ptr is making one now, skip to 2:27 mark. Looks like a gun that might take a few of your teeth out but I've never shot one that small.

I would love to own one. But I gotta start somewhere...

That short I really have to practice on it... I guess.
I fired my regular size shotgun only a few times. That thing can put anything out especially with the buckshots.

Lets just say in a 1200 velocity which most of my ammos are. on a 10 inch is approximately 1060 fps If I can get it to cycle right. I think that's not bad for a 22LR. And it can be "almost" an all around.

I think the red part is part of the magazine ..... ?

 

[ilikegunspdx]

I think the red part is part of the magazine ..... ?

Weird, you may be right about that. Like a safety indicator that there is a magazine in the gun.

It looks to be part of the lower receiver and not the magazine, I don't see the purpose in having it red. Especially on that true timber cerakote version.

One slice of pizza at Winco on my way out the door, $1.98.

I go in there at lunch time with the full intention of only buying a salad for lunch, and then they have that delicious smelling pizza right there by the exit. Definitely an impulse buy. The salad cancels out the calories from the pizza though, right?

Is it any good? Costco pizza ain't too bad, given its value.

Not bad really. It's not the best by any means, but when you're hungry for lunch because you skipped breakfast, it hits the spot.

The HK MP 5 22 is hands down 10x better than the Gsg in the same config that thing was a jam-o-matic !
