Real purty. I sometimes use them but prefer my M5 with ACP's for the

Did I tell you I live in Morton Grove, IL?
They've outlawed bears, cougars and handguns.

So, you keep your Israeli handgun concealed, eh?

Went over my head. I don't know much about guns, although
years ago I subscribed to Guns and was pretty advanced in my dreaming.
But there was this place in Marietta Georgia I stopped
once when I drove to Florida with a buddy. Called the Bulletstop.
Think it was '85, when the Bears played the Dolphins in the superbowl.
Shot clips from an Uzi, and a Thompson. It was fun, but expensive.
I think if I ever felt the need to "protect my family" I'd have a
Remington 12 autoloader to sleep with, and get a big pillow to keep it
under.

Aha. I thought you were referring to a pretty decent Israeli target
pistol, made by BUL:

Here's some more views of the X5 I have:

No, and I was mistaken in saying M5. Haven't played in a while.
Here's a tip sheet description:
"Colt M4A1 Carbine
Overall : ****
Accuracy : *****
Stopping Power : ****
Rate Of Fire : ****
Recoil : **
Firing Modes : Auto/Semi
Rounds Per Clip : 30
This gun seems to be the most popular in most multiplayer games,
because of it's stopping power and accuracy, the problem with this
though is it's rather nasty recoil, which is pretty much the only
problem with the M4, but a nice overall weapon."

So you can see what kind of gunman I am.
Despite early interests in guns, except for short periods, I've always
been a city boy.
Different place, I might get interested again.
