Default Fabarms

Italians make cool shotguns. Thinking this one here:

http://www.fabarm.com/products-sat8-pro-forces.htm



It is fully semi-auto with recoil dampening, 7+1, and pistol grips. That might be my next purchase I think.

I will look for an HK varient of it first however, though those may be rare.

Of course, i plan on buying several of these things to resale after any ban is in effect. Price tag is probably around $2K each. I could probably make 5 times that or more after a ban is in place.

Its just a name, though it would have everything I would want on it. It is a resale Fabarms.

HK is neat as a name, but after more rounds than you could count through its MP5 variants, including the PDW, I have decided I am not a much a fan after having first hand knowledge vs other options. Some things that I don't like - run the gun dry, and its a full cycle on the slide by you to load the next round, so if you are in a fire fight, you better not run the mag dry and replace it before that happens - which means drop the mag before its finished and replace it, otherwise you will cost yourself a lot of time. An M-16 for example is designed properly and done correctly and is designed for an extended fight. If you run an M-16 dry of ammo for comparrison, it locks the slide back automatically, you drop the mag, insert new mag an push a button, you are good to got again since the slide will auto-load the new mag. The MP5 - not so. You must manually cycle that damn thing and its a decently stiff spring too to boot.

One day, I ran across $1.75 box of ammo for 115gr 9mm. The MP5's got a workout the next day i tell you! Had a glock 18 that day too - but that thing eats ammo way too fast at 1200 RPM.

Anyway, HK makes a good gun if you plan to have you firefight last a whole 2 seconds or less. Outside of that, send me an M-16.

One day in AZ though, it was pretty funny. We heard the militia's training out in AZ's deserts and they were going through thinking they were bad *ss with their semi-auto's. So we pulled out 3 MP5's at once and let off 100 rds all at once. They all shut up on the other side of the hill for a while after that! I have that on video somewhere. :p
