I'd love to get one even for like $950, but I don't think I can justify spending $1200 on one before FFL fees and everything else.
Damn leafs jacking up the price

I understand these are more popular in Canada but I just bought at Cabelas, new Century, for $629.

What's the speeds out of those? Surely .22 and .17 can only deal out so much damage and ballistic coefficient, surely this is wasted energy? They tryna break some record?

/k/ommandos, what do you think of the xr9? Bond Arms are going to release a new version soon that they have tinkered on so that it's more reliable and cheaper, and with the cool look and unique design, I am tempted. However, with the price starting at $1000 or so, and planning to just make it go down to $900, I want some info first.
Or, if you don't want to do that, unique guns and actions thread

$900 honestly doesn't sound like a bad MSRP, but I'm not sure why you would want to buy it unless you're rich enough for your average gun budget to be well over $1000. I guess it'd make a good CC but people will still prefer more proven designs that are only slightly bulkier.
>>
I like my XR9-L.
I like the coating that Bond is using on the barrel to supposedly eliminate the need for the anti-seize lube.
The L is a bit less ammo picky than the S due to slightly reduced slide velocity on recoil. I don't know how the Bond will compare.
Trigger pull is quite long but smooth as snot on waxed paper. There is no stacking or a wall if you're wanting to stage the trigger though.
My biggest gripe is that it lacks a last-round-hold-open.

I posted this thread awhile ago and got a pretty predictable reaction. First of all, I want to preface this by saying EVERYTHING I say beyond this point is purely amateur speculation. I am not an expert, I think I've held and shot a gun like three times in my LIFE, but I have an interest in weapons and military history so I like to discuss it.
There was a development in body armor not too long ago that piqued my interest... it was called "Dragon Skin" and it was pretty amazing.
Anyway, there was a huge controversy surrounding this stuff... claims were made by and official inquiries into it's validity on the field due to problems with the epoxy holding it all together coming apart under prolonged exposure to HEAT... now several PRIVATE experiments conducted disproved this, and there is the whole matter of Murray Neal and his follow up product Dragon Skin 2 suddenly DISAPPEARING and all of the old models being RECALLED... but I'm not going to get in to that because it's conspiratorial and I've noticed /k/'s patience for anything convoluted and anti-establishment is limited at BEST, otherwise why the fascination with xenophobic racial politics and things that explode?
Indulge me for a moment. Let's assume that you could create a form of armor that followed Dragon Skin's core principals. You don't absorb the full force of the projectiles impact, you induce yaw (whatever the fuck that means) and shatter the bullet on impact.
Say what you want about the weight and the epoxy, you can pull up youtube clips of this shit taking an endless barrage of standard issue assault rifle fire from close range.
This is what I'm getting at. So what that you're a little slower? Say you're fully decked out in this crap - hell, you've even got a damn shield faced with it... carbon fiber base with an armored overlay. You've got that in one arm, and in the other you've got a carbine of some kind and you move in formation. (cont.)

You wouldn't HAVE to pack yourselves together shoulder to shoulder like they did in the old days making yourself an open target for explosive, but even WITH the added weight, wouldn't the ability to move through enemy fire make you more maneuverable than an unarmored target weighing less?
Could heavy infantry conceivably make a return given sufficient advances in armor?
>>
A .50 BMG API, which is an old fucking design at this point, can pierce over an inch of hardened steel. Steel weighs 4.65 ounces/in3.
A 12x12x1" plate of steel would weigh 41.85 lbs and that's not even remotely enough to protect a person.
The amount it costs you to make strong, protective armor is significantly higher than the cost of the bullets that can pierce it. The best defense against being shot is not being shot at all.
How much do you think it'll cost to make armour that'll survive even a single hit from an 80+ year old API round?
>>

Wait hold on now... check this out. This was filmed on the Discovery Channel during the early 2000's
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aYaSRIbPWkM&t=1s
Skip to these times so you don't have to watch it all
1:16 - 1:50
Armor piercing rounds tearing through steel, as you mentioned.
3:12 - 4:00
Firing same rounds at the Dragon Skin.... nothing.
This shit was OUT ten years ago... but it AND it's creator have since disappeared.

You're sailing through the Gulf of Aden solo, from the Red Sea to Mumbai. It takes about 6 days to make it to relatively safe waters, and until then you have to watch out for Somali pirates. Your boat goes 5 knots, not enough to outrun the pirates' skiffs. What gear do you take?

According to Burgers, the M4 Supertank
It killed 100 King Tigers for every Sherman
>>
At the battle of Kursk, 13. Kompanie/SS-Panzer-Regiment 1, equipped with 13 Tigers, claimed that they destroyed 150 Russian tanks over the course of the battle, losing 2 tanks themselves, giving that unit a k/d ratio of 75:1, other units had different results
Those are also from German records so take it as you will, although Germany did actually underestimate it's tank kills throughout the war, in '43 they underestimated by about 27%
On the eastern front, particularly in german defensive stages, it's more than likely that either the Tiger tank or Pz. IV had the greatest kill to death ratio, on the Western front I'm not sure
Bear in mind I'm only talking about turreted tanks rather than hull mounted anti tank guns and such, perhaps Stugs or Jagdpanzers peformed well, I wouldn't know

Bows belong in >>>/toy/ or >>>/his/ along with melee weapons, manual action firearms, crossbows, less than lethal, black powder and anything else that isn't a modern semi auto firearm.
/k/ is for not the place for discussion of archaic, useless and obsolete things. If you buy any of these YOU WILL DIE in shtf after jamal kicks your door in and you couldn't stop him with your special snowflake less lethal katana bow.
Save the money towards a AR, starting price $1k as anything below that is unreliable, cheap trash that is hardly suited for a range toy. Let alone a fighting weapon.

I have some questions:
How precise do your arrows fly compared to your rifle?
How often do you miss-shoot and leave the game wounded but running, bow vs rifle?
What's your effective distance, again comparing the two
Why did you choose to get into bow-hunting? I assume you started with the rifle.
