They didn't want to see the sun up close a third time.

land of the rising sun

but the sun is a mushroom cloud

even fucking steak lol, among the best in the world

I visited japan once, it was interesting. The public technology was a bit more advanced in some places, though practically iron age in more rural areas. Their culture is similar to ours, 70 years ago. Very nationalist, a bit racist and sexist, strong family values, heavy focus on tradition, except more collective minded than individualistic.

Japanese quality owes itself to national pride

Imo

I'd agree there. There's probably a few other factors, but pride is the biggest one

though this also puts tremendous pressure on people and may be the reason why they have one of the highest suicide rates

actually I haven't researched this before. Just looked it up and the statistics are kinda shocking

japan is under the US by a small margin

Russia has double what the US does, and sits at the top of the chart

Ok so my needs are many but id like some advice. Top 3 pistols. I know, revolvers are dependable as fuck. Dont care. Also, just to keep it fun, under 400 and prefer 9mm or 45acp
And Top 3 rifles. Again, gotta challenge you so under 800. I have my ideas but am looking to see if there is any overlap with "professional" advice

Glock

Aero precision

I don’t think revolvers are anything but range toys.

Cant beat the $300 police trade in glocks.

And for $800 you can build a great rifle, buying? I doubt you can get one new for that price.

BCM blemished uppers, I know they'll be scuffed or scratched but anyone had any issues with them? I'm going to rattle can it anyway so I don't care how it looks.

It's going to be the upper on a 556 dmr

That's exactly what I do.

Phew... well, this'll be hard but.
1. Pre-owned Glock 19 or 17
2. Canik TP9
3. Used Beretta 92FS or M9

1. Aero Precision Midlength Rifle (Their nice ones are above 800)
2. PSA AK-47 or Hungarian AK63
3. Del-ton Echo 316

An aero ar15 (built instead of bought to avoid the excise tax) or psa ak (but not their ar15) sound like your best bet. Both are cheap but serviceable.

I only put forth full firearms. Because I just wanted to fight the whole "I dOuBt YoU cAn GeT oNe NeW" comment to the grave.

With that being said... I'm probably just gonna get a BCM 16" for my next rifle.

That's a fair point

But I suggest buying the best upper you can, a quality stripped lower, and a lpk. It's the cheapest way to get quality rigs

Find a rifle you like on armslist, create 20 fake email accounts, and lowball them on different ones until you get the price you want 🤪

Hahahaha

And end up getting a guy that doesn't even respond.

I only respond to the ones who have their numbers to text. Because no one ever responds to the emails

Wait a second.... I know that guy.

The arch nemesis of the "i know what i got sonny" guy

Mosin nugget, $1,200. Price is firm.

When they bend the bolt with a pipe, slap an aftermarket trigger in, and poorly bed it in a dremeled out stock made for another rifle

I hate those guys. Or they wanna sell their "never fired" rifle. For the same price or higher than what they go for in store.

The barrel of their never fired rifle

Lol, right? I saw a guy trying to sell a DD for 2k

I can’t fuckin fathom people who own unfired firearms
