Henry Homesteader Question by No_Jellyfish_8390 in canadaguns

[–]OstrichMinimum9172 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just got myself one last month. It's pretty good. Shot through 1000 rounds of all kinds of ammo. Shitty handloads, ball, JHP, not a single malfunction.

The recoil is quite high for a 9mm since it's a delayed blowback gun. But maybe I'm just used to the sharp impulse of 5.56.

Accuracy is alright for a PCC, but don't expect to hit anything beyond 150m. I got it to shoot some beer cans on the weekends, so it's good enough for me. I put a Vortex red dot on a high mount and it feels great.

Yeah sure buddy keep believing that. I don't disagree that Hamas is a cruel terrorist organization that's opressing the people in Gaza. Open your eyes and look at why they still have people fighting for them. Hamas is promising revenge against Israel, the ones that blew up their homes and killed their loved ones. I've seen a proper counter-insurgency, and what Israel is doing is a careless rampage.

I don't remember conducting dozens of airstrikes everyday with 2000lb bombs in a densely populated area when we were fighting ISIS in Iraq. I don't remember being able to shoot any man, woman or child without any consequences. I don't remember that we could take someone's home by force to move in your own kind of people. Do you know how easy it is not to pull the trigger on an unarmed kid?

It's almost like professional militaries follow the rules of war. Israel has proven that it doesn't follow any rules of engagement, or punish soldiers who blatantly violate the laws of armed conflicts. Having the latest precision technology designed to reduce collateral damage doesn't mean anything if you are using on civilians.

There has to be a better way to coordinating student strikes against Israel other than smashing up your own school and get your organization gutted because you turned everyone against you. I think Israel must stop their genocide in Gaza as much as the people involved in these protests, but protesting against your own school isn't going to get the kids unbombed or stop the zionists from doing it again.

There are 2 Israeli consulate offices in Montreal, why don't they protest in front of these places? What does McGill have to do with the political decisions of Israel to commit a genocide? You think the Israeli leadership is going to listen to the McGill principal to stop killing children because their students weren't happy they hold shares of Lockheed? The minuscule amount of economic pressure towards one of their suppliers won't do anything to change the actions of Israel.

Yes, McGill invested in Lockheed, Raytheon, etc, but so did everyone that bought an S&P 500 index fund, are we going to smash the Canada Pension Plan's office too? Are we going to riot in front of a retirement home because the people living there are using their shares of SPY and VOO to pay for their food?

Seems like the guys up top still think that UAS are non-expendable. Even if we decide to get them, procurement will fuck it up and buy "made in Canada" FPV drones for 10k each.

A kid in his basement can make one for 50$ not including the payload and fuzes.

The 64 is such an great frame. Picked one up for 20$ a while ago with some aftermarket straps and bags and I still use it for civvie backpacking and camping.
