I'm not offended by gun pics, owned many firearms myself over the years, but I agree with previous comments that this thread, and the other non-Porsche relevant threads mentioned, belong in the lounge rather than the general discussion area.

And trying to call it Porsche related just because the Boxster happens to be in the picture is a lame argument. I do have to admit that I just don't get the American fascination with assault-style weaponry. They generally don't make good hunting or target guns, in fact, to the average citizen, all they are good for is "Hey look what I got", which seems to be what is going on here. Perhaps a little compensating going on?

Yeah, bring it to that. I have a small penis because I own a collection of semi auto rifles. I can live with that but can provide proof that it is not true of all responsible gun owners.

As for target, they make great match rifles. It depends on the shooter mostly, but I use chromed match heavy barrels for a reason, and not to kill anything.

Fascination? Lots more fascination over these cars than the fact he shoots but owns a small car and it's tough to transport long items (like guns ) in these cars.

Not a gun fan? Great! Don't post. If every single non specific fix or brag about my Boxster thread does not belong here then there's some overly sensitive members. Maybe try not clicking on a thread or not replying?

Fascination? I see it more as my right and freedom to enjoy that sport known as shooting. Sorry these guns offend some but I really couldn't care less.

I disagree! If you bothered actually read the thread it is very much 986 Specific.

Secondly, my AR is exceedingly accurate. Great for competition shooting whether it be know distance or a three gun shoot. I find it comfortable as I have extensive training on the platform. Unless you are referring to a barrel attachment, compensation is not needed.
