But that sounds cool. my friends would often play "What if Zombies were real and what would you do right now" after some late night drinking sessions

BTW am i the only one that got excited and finished the majority of my character and background?
I did my 20 questions (just email those to the GM?)
And am working on my 3X3X3s.
Found out my PC cant support word (?) so I am using the wifes Mac, which I hate.
Spent about an hour today rereading Dresden RPG book. Picked up some "Hello my name is" badges, and went to Barnes and Noble, but couldnt find a good Miami Map.
I say we either 1. Ignore the Miami/Orlando distance 2. Explain it away with a portal or Disney world expanded to Miami or something

« on: January 19, 2011, 12:20:28 AM »Millets will work. A cheap Simmons will too and you can get them for 30 bucks.agreed, 15 bucks an hour to sit in a hot lead filled room? I think not. Also dont need the "Gun Store" 'tude they seem to swagger around with.
Simplicity in red dots go a long way towards handling recoil.
They do but Red's is run by a bunch of dickheads so I don't go there anymore.
As for glocks, I used to have a Glock 23 and a conversion barrel to 9mm. It was a good combo.
The best place I've been is the Academy at 1431, Shorter guy with a mustache *Ray or Roy?* and the guy who runs that hunting classes are the two nicest guys you can find, also they have Patience out the wazoo.
That or the guys at "The Gun Store" in Cedar Park at Buttercup Creek, nice guys, just too $$$ and never the stuff I'm looking for. They did help me when I first started, by teaching me how to clean, and take down my first pistol. They do have a good range of Ammo though, some nice high end stuff.
Also your Rifle looks bad ass, btw.
I'm gonna check out Millet.

« on: January 19, 2011, 12:00:54 AM »Ha. Ha.Yeah I'm going the red dot route. Just need to find one that can handle the recoil of shooting slugs, compared to buckshot/rifle rounds, without breaking, losing zero.
For your shotgun I suggest a red dot. Red dots are good to about 300 to 400 meters if you have decent eyesight, they're fast, and a shotgun doesn't have much range beyond 100 yards. It would be perfect for you.
I suggest a Millet Red dot. They cost about $100 and they will get the job done. I used one on my AR before I sold it.
As for Eagle Peak, I don't like going there. They have a fantastic setup, but they won't allow FMJ rifle rounds there. That sucks because hollow point 5.56 rounds are friggin expensive.
As for me...
I have a few firearms but my two favorite are my XD-9 Subcompact and my MSAR E4. The MSAR takes AR mags and I put an Israeli MARS sight on it with a visible spectrum laser.
I believe the FMJ rule is because they dont have a certain amount of yardage of their property per state law or insurance regulations. I dont think Reds lets you either. I mean I like Eagle Peak, because I go during the day on Mondays and there is no one there, so I can call cease fires whenever I want, take my time, and occasionally double tap (if no one is around). So I figure, just sneak in some FMJs mixed in with a HPs in a HP box.
I went with a Glock 26 1. because they werent making XD Subcompacts yet 2. I like 9mm for practice (it's cheap) 3. It's smaller than a 17 or 19 but shoots the same (For me) more or less. I wish I would have gotten a 27 and a conversion barrell so I could pratice with mostly 9mm, and carry 40 everyday
I think Z said way back when, that when he was APD he carried an S&W MP40.
Thats a neat looking shotgun, I always wonder why the double magazine tube idea was never used, probably due to some gun makers wanting their shotguns to be associated with Hunting and not Self Defense (Remington for example)

« on: January 18, 2011, 08:04:17 PM »I will be game.
I am still teaking my zero on a couple of new rifles and I want to test out my new laser on my carry pistol.
Rifles is where I fall short, I dont own any, shot very few.
I need to zero my shotgun, but I'm thinking of scrapping the scope and getting something better, but its like anything worth a damn costs more than my shotgun
. Also Eagle Peak is great for rifle and pistols, but wont let you shoot slugs from the bench rest, they have a little area for testing patterns on shotguns, and an area for clays, and thats it

COOL to meet everyone. Sorry if I seemed kinda out of it, I am just now learning all this RPG stuff. Also that store is like nerd paradise, I stayed an extra 20 minutes just looking at comics afterward.
Gonna see if I can work Sat instead of Sundays, or work 8-4 sundays from now on
