If only the Ukrainians had the GSG 16's at the beginning, the war would have been over in a few days... 😭

As an ex soldier... I cant imagine anything more humiliating than being killed by a pink gsg16... maybe if the shooter proceeds to teabag me...

Being peppered down by 22LR has to be unpleasant enough as is.

u/NIBLZ_HAMSTR 12h ago
Definitely not an enjoyable experience... its still like getting beaten by a ball peen hammer... its just a weak ass, kids, fun gun. You get no street cred in Valhalla if youre taken out by a pink gsg16. Lol

Just take me out with a full burst from a cartel theme AK. Gold plated, pearl furniture and Santa Muerte on the stock.
Like a man.

No they are not. This is part of the plan. It's obvious that if it's black it's high powered.

Omg I saw this last night while watching the news with my wife. I was like that is not high powered it’s a .22 for plinking.🙄

u/marley_hill 1d ago
The GSG-16 is a machine that converts 22 long rifle to a jammed firearm. That being said I miss being able to take mine out.

The gen II wasnt too bad so long as you fed it the spicy seeds

u/marley_hill 19h ago
I am assuming mine was a gen 2 (bought in 2024ish.) It actually ran pretty well after a good clean and lube. Loved CCi blazer ammo. Dual wielding them was fun. Miss my plastic prince.

u/GinnAdvent 1d ago
I used to have 4 of those high powered GSGs, and 2 pack of those 110 rounds happy wheels. And maybe 20 packs of regular magazine? Lol
If they think GSG16 is high power, then what happen if you have SU16s? Or multiple T81s, lol

u/En4cr 22h ago
Yes, even plinkers. The amount of ignorance on legislation is wild.
I wouldn’t be surprised if we see airguns and airsoft on the list in the future. Especially if they’re black and scary looking.

u/dgod40 20h ago
They tried to go for airsoft a while back. Somehow they back off.

u/En4cr 20h ago
I remember. It’s unbelievable the lengths they’ll go to to vilify anything that shoots.

u/War_Hymn 1d ago
Maybe the ammunition had the words 'high' or 'hyper velocity' printed on it, hence the gun must be high-powered.

u/Lord_Stetson 20h ago
The obvious fearmongering lie presented as the truth.

u/dgod40 20h ago
See the thing is, the "media" didn't choose those words. It's pulled directly from the yrp news release. So I guess ACAB makes sense, since the cops are lying and fear mongering, right? Maybe this group needs a little bit of media literacy training before they point fingers.
6
u/Lord_Stetson 20h ago
from the yrp news release.
And uncritically repeated verbatem dispite having eyeballs of thier own. A disingenuous press release repeated by a disingenuous press.
"Media literacy training" - what a joke.
-6
u/dgod40 20h ago
You will still deflect when told the truth. Holy crap. When the press adds their own spin for "fear mongering" you guys whine. When the press literally takes a police news release verbatim, you guys whine. Obviously the issue is YOUR bias towards the media and inability to judge an issue based on specific situations.
That being said, you do you. I personally think the Freemasons are to blame for all of this.

No one in this reporting told the truth.
When the press adds their own spin for "fear mongering" you guys whine.
Yes, when the press lie it is offensive.
When the press literally takes a police news release verbatim, you guys whine.
Yes, when you can visually see that the release is lying it is offensive.
Why are you working so hard to try and smuggle in the idea someone in the chain of reporting in this is somehow being honest?

u/dgod40 19h ago
I'm "working hard" to put blame where it belongs, in this situation, the police. You have decided to put the blame on whoever you have chosen as the boogeyman.
3
u/Lord_Stetson 19h ago
I choose to put the blame on both.
You have decided to put the blame on whoever you have chosen as the boogeyman.
But you can SEE the lie right in front of you. In this case there is no bogeyman (it's spelled with just one 'o' fyi).

u/gspotcowboy 17h ago
FWIW I agree with your point but the media is also to blame, just not in the way most here would like to.
Long before independent journalism was dead and buried, news outlets used to have competent journalists and experts on their payroll who would vet this kind of stuff before publishing. 50 years of neo liberal government allowed independent media to be bought up by corporate interests who consolidated outlets while gutting staff.
Now the average "journalist" is making slightly more than a paid internship and is expected to crap out whatever their underpaid editor is being told to print, so you see canned news releases make up for like 90% of content over all the major and minor outlets.
It's easier to scream into the void though so dat dere maimscream medier is being controlled by the government obviously

I mean it does look like they're got stinger .22, pretty sure I dislocated my shoulder last time I loaded a tube of it in the old H01.

My Hilti Ramset must be high powered as well . It runs on .22 as well. Or has Trudeau banned that as well? Its pretty tactical looking.

It’s even better when they show sub-495fps BB guns and air rifles then call them “assault weapons”.
It’s super ridiculous.
