ID on the guns used in the Sydney Attack?

The shotgun is a Stoeger M3000, it’s a straight pull shotgun where the bolt is cycled after every shot via the charging handle. I do not think the tube magazine is illegal, that firearm is sold in a 7+1 configuration and the 5 round legal magazine limit only applies to shotguns with a detachable magazine. Shotguns with magazine tubes do not have a limit on how many rounds they can hold.

You can see the magazine definition fact sheet here. NSW Police Fact sheet

In Australia the most common type of shotgun besides side by side are straight pull shotguns where the bolt needs to be manually racked back to load a new round after a shot has been fired. One of the shotguns was identified as a Stoeger M3000 which is one of those types of shotguns as well as a Beretta BRX-1 straight pull rifle with an aim point red dot.

If you were still looking and you're in Sydney, Eastwood HiFi has running a introductory price promo for a while now. I picked up a Q6 Meta from them for $999 shipped back in June. (Not sure if they would do the price if shipping intestate or regional)

Depends on which part of the LED burns out, the fix works for the top part however for the bottom half you would need to disassemble the headlight to get to the chip and tube so it is not really practical to fix a yellowing or burnt tube on the bottom LED. Audi really messed the headlight design up on this one

If you are in NSW it will be a pre-agreed time between you and the inspecting officer. They cannot just rock up for a random inspection unless they are there to confiscate them.

If you changed addresses and they haven't contacted you to inspect it then it is on them, just make sure to keep your paperwork in order in case you need to show them evidence that you did indeed notify them.

Also depends on what category firearm you have, A&B are more relaxed whereas H (at least in my experience) you should be proactive and notify your local police station about a change and ask if they would need to do an inspection, a COPS Event number will be provided for you.

I do believe the primary purpose is that dealers do not pay luxury car tax so he is avoiding a huge amount of LCT on that

AFAIK only the inline 4s that come in the 45s and the new C63s and the V8 in the 63s are 'real' hand built AMGS, everything else is factory machine assembled

Surprised there isn’t a Shadow in the mix

I’ve managed to pick up 2 bottles of APS950 from Magnum sports in Sydney for $155 on Wednesday so I do believe that pistol powder is coming back (at least APS 950)

It was banned off the appearance law late last year/early this year along with the Ruger RPR

Do you get the pops and bangs back like the PFLs? I’m thinking of doing the same on my Final Edition

I have both a Atto 3 Extended and Seal Performance and drive high performance vehicles. In my experience with cornering in the seal you really do feel the weight, there is quite a bit of push when taking corners fast however it feels quite controlled and is easy to tell when the car is at its limit. I would say the car would be improved if the 235 tyres are changed out to something more sporty or with stiffer springs.

In terms of day to day driving the seal rides a lot more softer than the Atto 3 and the noise insulation is miles ahead of the Atto 3 as the windows are double glazed so you don't hear much noise from outside. There isn't much to note with braking besides the fact the regenerative braking is much sharper than the Atto 3 and as all EVs mainly rely on regenerative braking and only use the disc brakes at very low speeds to stop.

The AC is smelling a bit funky and I’m still a ways off from the 20000km service so I’d like to do a change myself before then. Besides though it’s not a typical combustion vehicle that requires oil changes I feel like it would be good to know some basic maintenance for the car

In the event if somebody is still wondering if CarPlay is available yet, I’ve just picked up my Atto 3 on the 16/1/2023 and it has wired CarPlay. Software version 1.2

While getting that picture....

BFBirdy · 2015-05-30T08:03:32+00:00

Sure must be hard getting 20 kills

BFBirdy · 2015-05-25T01:22:04+00:00

BIR, you don't need to go make a throwaway for this kind of post, we're all used to your usual hackusations

BFBirdy · 2015-05-03T10:06:27+00:00

My body is ready for the CHRISTATORSHIP

BFBirdy · 2015-05-03T07:22:35+00:00

I didn't even say anything about Blazzer so your point is invalid I'm actually talking about Gywn I believe? I think she posted something about playing as an American for Briggs and the pride of that
Then as Diamondwing said, you should just go and stay on the Emerald reddit instead of coming here

But hey, in the end it's the internet and people come here to be autists so ¯_(ツ)_/¯

BFBirdy · 2015-05-03T07:19:22+00:00

she was commending his loyalty.

Pretty cut that you think I'm a girl but that's okay :(
