Delisle Carbine / Weird Gun Thread

>is there anything a first-time gun buyer should be aware of?
Yeah, don't buy a bolt action for home defense. Go buy an AR15 chambered in .300 Blackout and get a silencer for it. It will be just as quiet and more effective.

Actually .45 has more force at less than 50 feet than .300

>silenced tommyguns for home defense

If you're OP, why ask a question if you plan to argue any reasonable suggestions.

I'm sure .45 is gonna have the same effect on an intruder as .300BLK in a house regardless of what the numbers say.

Also, fuck spending 1500-3000 for a bolt action pistol caliber carbine. Take off a zero and I'd be interested.

>$1500-3000

you do know that you could have practically ANYTHING else for that price range, right?

why a fucking bolt action rifle in a pistol caliber? at least make an obrez and save yourself some money

I didn't know they were making reproductions, thanks for the tip.

Still, I wouldn't recommend the Delisle as a first gun.

If you are American, you are going to be waiting months for the paperwork to go through on the silencer, and it is a short barreled rifle too. Add $200 for each tax stamp for each, so you are really looking at $2k just to get started.

Upkeep is going to be a troublesome thing. It should be fairly resilient, being a pistol caliber bolt action. When something breaks though, good luck finding a replacement part.

While it should be good for small game, I can't recommend a bolt action for home defense. Semi auto is the way to go now, and even pump and lever actions are faster than bolt actions.

Its a nice little concept, but it would be more economical to do an AR in 45 or 300 Whisper, but even those are niche guns that aren't good for first timers.

Buying a Delisle as a first gun is like buying a Porsche for your first car. Sure, you can if you have the cash for it, but you should probably step back and think about what you are getting into first.

Its a great collection piece, not an everyday shooter.

.300 blackout has better bullet designs that do more damage

Not OP
I just think .300 blackout is a meme when .45 is still better when blackout was designed for cqc

This needs to be bait because only a retard would consider a bubba'd MLE for their first gun and use it for home defense.

> bolt action

just go with a M3A1 suppressed

>>32457243
That looks beautiful anon,
im glad you showed it to me. :)

It's a cool gun for sure, especially given its use in WWII, but for the price you could buy and suppress a slew of pistol or rifle caliber SMG's or carbines. If your actually considering this for HD, otherwise it'd be an awesome range toy at best

>>32457235
It's a TMLE.

>Deeerp. .45 fires it more subsonically you dingus. You can't fax coffee. Coffee don't fax for shit. You a damn moron.

Both fire 230 grain bullets at just below the speed of sound meaning they have nearly the same muzzle energy..300 BO has better sectional density making it quieter through a suppressor, better BC making it maintain energy longer, and a wider variety of bullets besides ashtray and FMJ.

appls v. oranges there buddy

.300 memeout exists because they needed it to run on the ar platform, change a barrel and you're good. not to mention the penetration and range you'd be able to get from the .300
