Von Tempsky.

Even as a kiwi I don't give a fuck about the land wars, nothing really interesting happened, just a bunch of Maori ambushes and Maori genocides.

Can anyone recommend any decent books on the land wars or other interesting New Zealand history?

All I learnt in school was the treaty of Waitangi and Parihaka which were a bit too passive for my tastes

>when maori kill whitey it is an ambush
>when whitey kill maori it is genocide

Why is are our history lessons so fucking skewed?

Burger here. Love your country and thought about moving there. Interesting history. Keep your guns, okay?

because it actually was like that, regarding the individual level of weapon technology and organization.

everyone loves our fucking country, that's why you can't spit without hitting some Eurotrash, US hipsters or other "globetrotters"

pls stay at home

We're trying, though they other side is too, and they're doing it with taxpayer money..

More pro-gunners would be ok, we get too many hippies and pacifists, would be good to even it out.

I am staying home. I'm not a hipster at all. Would host you if you ever want to visit America. Very pro fun with a good sized collection.

>Where do you kiwis get your guns?
Australia?

What are the main calibers in the shire?

i bet being a special snowflake with Autist tier tastes for guns is difficult in Kiwi land.

Also while I'm here, anyone familiar with the YouTuber kiwi Ted? Used to like him a few years back then trolls got him to delete his videos. He had a very impressive machine gun collection which apparently is possible in New Zealand almost easier than in the US in some ways.

Australia doesn't have any guns, silly.

We can get pretty much anything with the right class of license, ANZAC displays often have privately owned artillery and armour kicking about.

Importing can be a bitch, and prices are mental here, but we have access to pretty much anything (with a sufficient reason to acquire)

>>33896326
Ted Ferny has some pretty good videos, hasn't posted anything new in ages though.
He got into trouble because he fired a STEN off the back of a boat and uploaded a video of it to youtube, which he can't legally do, as full autos on a collector's license can only be fired with a police permit or using blanks for re-enactment or theatrics.
