What is a meme gun?

A meme gun is a gun that is coveted due to hype and not real world practicality or effectiveness. A meme weapon tends to have a reputation built around a certain feature that is found in more affordable and more commonly available firearms. The meme gun may also have been featured in a film or videogame, adding to the unwarranted hype.

Example: Manurhin MR73
>.357 Magnum
>used by the GIGN so it's got to be good!
>it's also REALLY expensive and has a tedious amount of craftsmanship in each individual gun
>reputed to be built like a brick shithouse, able to withstand thousands upon thousands of rounds of .357 without breaking
>match grade trigger with an amazing single action pull

Now, the non-meme equivalent of the MR73
>Ruger SP101
>built like a brick shithouse and much more affordable
>able to withstand a large amount of abuse
>holsters are available if one wishes to carry one
>the Ruger Match Champion variant is arguably just as shootable, single action for defensive revolver shooting is largely irrelevant and one should focus on using revolvers as a DAO

But it doesn't have an uber sexy French name and doesn't come at a price of $3,000 along with import fees so it gets a hard pass.

But the CZ wasn't made by the glorious Swiss so it can't possibly be worth a shit despite the CZ P01 being a handgun that was tested extensively by NATO along with a large amount of competetive shooters using CZ guns.

The same applies to Jerichos, they're meme guns as well.

>very unshootable despite users try to convince you that shooting it isn't that bad because they're under the assumption that shootability=how much they can muscle through recoil without understanding that shootability means how quickly you can get effective hits on target
>almost the same dimensions as the Glock 19
>a much more shootable, lighter weight gun that carries more ammo onboard

>Glock 19/26, non meme equivalent
>it's a 9mm, it's not going to do anything!

>9mm is more shootable, at the end of the day, 10mm and 9mm are both pistol caliber rounds and conceal carry is the defense against human attackers, not neccesarily 4 legged critters which 10mm is more apt for

I challenge 10mm fags to see if they perform better with a Glock 29 than a Glock 26. The average 10mmfag has never used or seen a shot timer in real life, which is the shooting equivalent of the lie detector.

A pistol is a pistol, I would take faster, more anatomically effective hits on target with a 9mm than fighting against the recoil of a 10mm from a subcompact, more misses and slower shot to shot times any damn day of the week. This concept of shot placement is something the 10mm fag largely ignores since skill is never considered to be a factor in defensive shooting.
>>
>>34733439
>extensively tested by NATO
There are many "NATO aproved" firearms, which includes the Beretta 92, the Sig P226, and the Glock 17.

To be NATO approved it has to come from a member country. Thats it.
CZ has used this fact for years to sell junk to retards who think its something special to be approved by one of the least active militaries on the planet.

New gun with factory ammo. My best guess is that inexperienced shooter had a squib ,didn't recognize it and fired again. Pressure blew that shitty aluminum frame to shit(notice the steel cylinder and barrel are intact) and then it took the tip of his finger off because your hand is like .5" of shitty aluminum away from the firing chamber.

You forgot to mention the part where the guns you are talking about were surplus import marked police weapons that were in generally terrible condition. Most of them were at ~65% of original finish remaining, and many of them had mechanical issues of some kind. Some people even got guns that didn't even work at all.

Source: https://www.classicfirearms.com/manurhin-mr73-357-magum-38-special-revolver-surplus

Buying an abused Manurhin with no factory support for $500 when that same $500 could get you a new GP100 with an ironclad warranty is a fool's bargain.

A better comparison in this case would be someone who turns down a new Honda Civic or Toyota Corolla to buy a 300SL with engine and transmission problems that also looks like a rust bucket. I'm not saying that the decision to get one of the surplus MR73s is an objectively bad one, just that the dichotomy presented in the post I originally quoted (>>34733386) is a total straw man.

Oh I agree if you go 10mm it's best to stick with a glock 20. Glock 29 is a good backpack gun for innawoods when rapid follow up shots aren't as big of a deal and are still superior to revolvers.

Underwood 10mm matches commercial 41 magnum at 180 grains or below (180@1300 or 165 @1400). This is compounded by the fact that a glock 20 is only as long as a 3 inch n frame.
>>
>>34733588
yes, of fucking course a Glock 19/26 will be easier to shoot than a 29 and they are generally better carry guns

however, if you are going to call the 29 retarded then you need to do it doubly so for the 45 subcompact/compact Glocks

also, if I was some place with bears and was given the choice between a ruger alaskan in 44 mag or a 29 I would easily take the 29

Jerichos are not meme guns unless you bought it because of a cartoon. Clone or not, it is built better and shoots as good or better. Heavy, but ergonomic as any pistol you will ever hold.

You are assuming that you are likely to encounter the attacking bear in a scenario where you will be able to get all 10+1 shots off before it gets to you, which is the definition of unrealistic (unless you plan on magdumping without taking aim, which is a stupid idea).

Furthermore, .44 Magnum has been consistently proven to be able to take down any kind of trophy animal on Earth, including the African Big 5. It is a much, much better option vs. large game or dangerous predators.

>used by the GIGN so it's got to be good!

No, it's good because the GIGN have historically used it in their daily training. Since their training regimen states that each trooper needed to shoot at least 100 rounds of full power magnum rounds per day in service, that meant a lot of fucking ammo went through each gun.
Initially, they went through insane numbers of S&Ws and Colts before the MR-73 was developed.

>it's also REALLY expensive and has a tedious amount of craftsmanship in each individual gun

My brand new MR-73 cost me less than it would have cost me to buy a S&W 686 and have it tuned by a competent gun smith or custom shop.

As far as revolvers go, you're free to call a Korth "REALLY expensive", but an MR-73 really aint that expensive.

Anyhow, in practical use, an MR-73 will behave as well as any S&W686 modified by a competent gun smith, but when run hard (or long) the MR-73 will survive many things a S&W686 or Python will not.

>reputed to be built like a brick shithouse, able to withstand thousands upon thousands of rounds of .357 without breaking

Also able to survive a double load without warping the frame. It will bulge the cylinder, but not breach it.

>match grade trigger with an amazing single action pull

Oh, you little summer child. You'd have to design a very shitty revolver for the single action pull to suck. The real test of a combat revolver like the MR-73 is how smooth double action is.

Even Taurus can shit out revolvers with perfectly acceptable single action pull.
Hell, you can polish even a Nagant 1895 to have a very nice and crisp single action pull.
Double action however, things get more complicated.

You both are comparing 44 mag from long barreled revolvers to 10mm

The Alaskan weighs 44 ounces unloaded
The 29 weighs 27 ounces unloaded
If you think the 29 is a meme gun the 20 is still only 31 ounces unloaded

Out of anything under 4" 44 mag is pretty shit while 10mm is still pretty efficient at the 3.8" of barrel the 29 has

Beretta Silver Pigeons

Holy fuck, why do so many people buy Silver Pigeons? When I was working in a gun shop, everyone would go for the Silver Pigeons. They're well made, sure, but you're paying out the nose for the brand name and some polished wood. They're not even that impressive when it comes to the engraving and woodwork; you could get a second hand English gun with far nicer wood and engraving work for less and they're not even that nice. They're entry level posh guns. Not enough sense to get a decent workhorse you can use and not enough cash to get something that actually stands out. And SO MANY PEOPLE BUY THEM to the extent that there are multiple cases where people will go to shoots and TAKE HOME THE WRONG GUN BECAUSE THEY ALL HAVE THE SAME DAMN MODEL OF SILVER PIGEON.

Either save your money and buy a nicer more personalised gun or buy a Pardus.
>>
>>34735104
Are you a tactifag by any chance? Most people are not buying Silver Pigeons because they want a "fancy" fudd gun; they are buying Silver Pigeons because Silver Pigeons are, along with the Browning Citori, the minimum that can be considered as "decent" for an O/U shotgun.

Buying something cheaper than a Citori or Silver Pigeon just gets you poorly made junk that breaks easily, while buying something nicer requires that you be lucky enough to find a nice used bespoke gun or waiting months and shelling out thousands of dollars more for a nice new bespoke gun.

The fact 10mm fags have to jump straight to either underwood ammo or buffalo bore to prove their caliber is superior is like someone using 45 super in a comparison between 9mm and 45.

You wont shoot that shit that much, that ammo is expensive.

You're going to settle for local bulk ammo, which is loaded to FBI spec making it 40s&w that costs twice as much.

Also 99% of the hollow points for 10mm suck absolute ass and are also loaded to FBI spec, this includes Gold dot, Federal, and even Hornady

Even if you reload your money could be going to an actual good boutique caliber like 9x25 Dillon, and with the money you spent on boutique ammo that actually performs like you gloat it does you could have trained with x3 the amount in 9mm and actually gotten good with your gun and not needed the approval of people on /k/ about what caliber you picked.

Hey, pre 64 pythons are beautiful guns. The thing I hate is all the people wanting them because of the walking dead. Although I could probably sell mine to one of those people for a metric ton of money, but my grandpa's ghost would probably possess it and kill me before I do.

A Hi-Point is also usually "perfectly shootable" when you first buy it, but do you think it will remain that way over the long term if you use it regularly? It's the same issue with cheap Turkish O/U shotguns--they might work, but for how long?

You can buy Jameson in a Costco in Nevada for far, far less than it costs in County Cork, where it's made. It's literally $35 for a half-gallon.

$30/liter is average price in the States. When I lived in Cork 5 years ago average price was around $50/liter with the exchange rate at the time, and the cost of a glass of whiskey in a pub was fucking insane, like 2-3x what I pay for the same drink in the States.

Hey guys just thought id pop in here to share my useless opinion


Jumping to underwood is actually more like bringing up +p .45 ACP desu. Shit's within spec but a steady diet of it will shorten the life of a gun. The reason you see such a gap between normal +p and underwoods +p is that you're average ammo manufacturer has massive production runs with okish QC and overactive lawyers.

They're risk adverse so they download their rounds to be sure they wont cause a KB even if they're a bit off with a round.

Underwood OTOH loads to actual specs and advertises their actual velocities. They produce less ammo and are more QC focused.

There's no problem with using underwood ammo as long as you aren't feeding a steady diet of it or trying to run it in a shit gun designed for bp or something.

Underwoods JHPs in 10mm have performed pretty well from the tests I've seen. do you perhaps have some examples indicating otherwise?

also while im at it

>MFW the ideal 10mm load for humans is a 145-155gr bonded hollowpoint moving at around 1450-1500fps

>MFW nobody makes this round

W/E, .357 sig has most of the same advantages for 2 foot with less recoil.

Can someone give me the true rundown of the bullpup argument?

My father is looking to get one for the sake of home defense only. He likes the bullpup design for the sake of being able to open doors, use lights and phones, etc without lowering the weapon. He has a bad eye and intends to use a mounted laser, so extreme accuracy is already a little less important.

So in this situation, why would we choose anything else over the X95? And what would that even be? AUGs appear harder to come by.

>>
>>34738345
That was kinda my point. He says it's 17% as if its ONLY 17%.

17% can mean a lot of things but in this case it's simply 1.

a 6 shot has 20% more bullets than a 5 shot but most importantly it has one more bullet than a 6 shot. The lower your capacity the more important one extra bullet is.
>>
>>34738687
I don't mean for it to be purpose limited, but the primary intention of its purchase is for home defense. It will be the only weapon out of the safe other than a pistol and one of the shotguns. I'm sure I will use it for hog hunting perhaps for the sake of it, although I have other guns I would still choose for that over a bullpup.
>>
>>34738634

I like 'em and I don't. Idk, I think it's just my preference. They do perform great, though.

>>34738647

Bullpups, in theory, are superior due to keeping an overall length of the rifle short while keeping the barrel length long, especially when CQC is considered.

The AUG has a lot more balance to it compared to the Tavor, so if your father wants to one hand it, I'd personally recommend that. Additionally, you can change out its barrel extremely easily. Give it a 16inch for CQC and a 20 if you want to go target shooting. Plus, I think it's a hair shorter than the Tavor.

Augs are pretty common on gunbroker, and you can typically get one for about $1,600 without its signature scope.

Good luck to you and your father, either way.
>>
>>34738723
Thank you, I appreciate the input.
>>
>>34738647
If he can handle the bullpup in those kinds of situations while staying shouldered but not a normal pattern rifle then there isnt any normal pattern alternative.

I mean a handgun is less encumbering but if he manage those sorts of things with a BP then go for it.

DESU id go with a tavor or MSAR. Third would be a "pistol" with a brace.

I've never heard of a squib load before today, thank god I discovered it. I never knew this could happen.

In the case of semi-auto pistols, they're not as big of a deal, right? The gun won't cycle another round and so it's not like you could, say, be firing very quickly, get a squib load, then fire again right after and get an exploded gun, right?

A squib won't damage the rifling. Squibs are excedingly rare in factory ammo, as powder is dropped by volume. Squibs are usually a result of error in hand loading. As long as you realize you've had a squib,it is easily remedied. Just use a mallet and wooden dowel to press the bullet out the muzzle.
