Almost heresy, but I'm curious. How many guns would be "a lot" in everyone's book. Shit's almost too hard to slap a number on, but I'm curious. At what number does the tragic boating accident happen?
>>
>>33520647
That's not why tragic boating accidents happen anon.

And as long as you have enough safe storage space, you don't have too many guns.
>>
>>33520647
Im in the 70s, cant tell you an exact number. My gun buying has slowed not because i have too many but bc there isnt much else i want to buy. If some weird thing shows up, looking at you mas 49/56 ill buy it
>>
>>33520669
Fair enough. Reason I bring up the boating accident is because things generally start heading that route once X individual finds out someone has Y number of guns.
>>
>>33520736
well X can mind their own damn business. It's not wise to start shit when you're that badly outgunned.
>>
>>33520705
Impressive. I've got a wish list that I try to keep under control. I'm in the same boat regarding odd/fun guns. You just gotta buy them.
>>
>>33520647
Probably more than 3 is considered a lot by normies
>>
>>33520647
I'd say like 200+
>>
>>33520705
Liar.
>>
>>33520963
Where the hell do you even begin to store 200+ guns?
>>
>>33520795
Varies but I would be ok calling this average.

>>33520963
That moment you realize your milsurp collection and ammo stash can support a heavy company

This many

IMO, when you've passed 20 to 30-ish long guns, it'd seem like a lot to me. About 5-15 just feels like a normal-ish amount. Any less and guns probably just aren't your thing, or you're too young and poor to participate in the hobby properly yet.
I'm haven't passed 20 yet, but it still feels like plenty to me. It won't take too much more for me and it'll start to feel like a lot.
I like to have all the main calibers covered, but I don't need five 556 rifles or a bunch of oddball hunting cartridge bolt actions that all do 99% the same thing. I like to pick a top notch gun or two in all the main calibers like 556/545/762/308/54r/12ga/22lr and then call it a day.

Just got baby's first 4k monitor. Viewing large pictures is a totally different experience when you actually have a good resolution. Even 1080 feels kindof shit now.
The thing that pisses me off is that phones take beyond 4k images by default, for no good reason, forcing you to crop stuff before it looks decent on a smaller monitor than a 4k.
>>
>>33521228
There's a pumpmaster 760 air rifle in there
>>
>>33521233
Yeah I try to steer away from long guns that use the same cartridge. I figure 100+ is too many if you can't properly store them.

Handguns are a different story. I have a soft spot for makarovs.

>Too many
I don't know. I am still trying to wrap my head around the idea of having a limit to the number of guns I can own.

I do know those who have more than 7 are referred to as super collectors and that I passed that number a long time ago.
>>
>>33521233
Sometimes you just gotta find out for yourself which gun does a certain job best.
>>
>>33521453
>those who have more than 7 are referred to as super collector


That's news to me. 7 is about average for people that actually go to the range. Most of the people I know that own less, but still do own a gun, are the kind that bought a revolver for their bed-stand and have never once shot it. Basically, we should mandate that people own at least 7 guns, to make sure they are taking this seriously.
>>
>>33521453
Poor choice of words on my part. Just trying to see what the consensus is on what counts as "a lot" of guns.

"Super collector?" Seems they're giving that one out freely. I would have guessed that number would have been at least around 17ish.
>>
>>33521262
whoopty-do, motherfucker
>>
>>33521453
7 is really the starting point for collectors. I've seen 50+ refer to super collectors

God damn stupid semi auto clones, I just want that good NFA shit.

>we should mandate that people own at least 7 guns
As a rule for /k/ or a rule in general?
>>
>>33520647
Im 19 and have 16 guns but thats definitely more than average, especially on normie terms
>>
Anything more than 3 is hoarding.
>>
I have 3 rifles, one is a brand new tacticool AK. two others are beat up VZ58 and FAL. I ran them alot.
And i would consider its too many rifles if i buy a new one before i got good with the ak74.
>>
>>33521741
Your just salty you don't have more. Solution buy more guns
>>
>>33521763
>I ran them alot
you are literally a stain on the gun owner community.
>>
>>33520647
All are too few.

Yes

>>33521262
What all do you need to use a 4k monitor? I'm not too familiar with computers. Do you need a beefed up graphics card/processor or can you just plug that shit in and it works?
>>
>>33521718
are you in uni? how did you afford all that? I'm 19 and I can definitely afford a few nice guns but I can't justify spending a lot on it right now. saving my nickels and dimes for a CC when I turn 21

Nice datamining thread, shlomo.
>>
if theres a dedicated structure to the housing of your guns (and guns alone), id say thats a lot.

>What all do you need to use a 4k monitor?
A good enough video card for one thing. I'm not sure if the (dell desktop for example) factory built in video chips would allow you to run resolutions beyond 2k(. You'd probably have to google X computer or video card and see that it supports full 4k before you ordered a 4k screen. Or you might find that your card will only run 4k at 30hz which feels fucking awful. So you are essentially limited to 2k or under if you want 60hz.
I can't remember 100%, but I think I'm at roughly the minimum card to properly use 4k with a gtx950 video card at work(can only run DOOM at about 1080 resolution though for a full 60fps, 2660x1440 runs a solid 40fps most of the time which is pretty ok but occasionally dips to a console's 30-ish at minimum), and a gtx 960 on my home computer that I haven't really tested like this.
I have run dual monitors at work & home since the first time I was introduced to the idea 10+ years ago. So I run a 4k for my main tasks at this point, and a second 1080 monitor for video/music/youtube while I'm browsing /k/ or whatever.

I save my money and dont buy other stupid shit. Plus I got really into reloading so I can afford to shoot my unicorn cartridges alot. A handful were gifts/inherited like my p38 and 1937 k98
