One cool thing about living in Louisiana is they let us buy some cool guns. I had some free time this evening so made these pics of a few of my toys. Let me know what you think!

1 POF P-416 with AAC M4-2000 Silencer

Great photos. Are these fully automatic and do the silencers really work? I understand Class III license is not easy to get. Was it difficult? (not possible to even own a handgun here - but no need)
Cheers,
John

Very nice set of pics. Thanx for sharing the behind the scenes one.


Not sure why, but call me JJ.

Yes the silencers really work, though a little different than what you see in the movies. You can see lots of videos of them in action on YouTube.com/aroundlsu

The rifle is registered as a short barrel rifle, not a machine gun. So for the time being it is semi auto. It will take about $15k to legally get it full auto (on my wish list behind a 200mm f/2).

Yes the permits (technically tax stamps, not permits) were hard to get the first few times. It took about a year to get approved for the first silencer. Now I can get one in about three months.

These pictures really make me hate living in CA. I wanted to do the same thing to my USP and HK45.

Really awesome shots. I like the third one of the USP with just a little bit of smoke coming out of the barrel.

Can I take your picture? "I'll swallow your soul!" Well, my camera will at least.

Cool photos. Does the silencer add a lot of weight to the front of the handgun?

Beautiful shots. Do you think the right of any citizen to own stuff like this is giving pause to anyone who might covet our green fields? :mrgreen:

I am not sure what you are asking but political discussions are not allowed here.

The rifle suppressor is a little heavy at 16 ounces but balances the gun well. The pistol suppressor is very light and adds no noticeable weight.

There was nothing political about my question, but you answered it anyway.

Nice discoloration on the M4-2000 can, it shows honest use. :D

I really like these and how they turned out, especially the 3rd, the little wisps add just enough character imo. Gonna have to try this with my VLTOR ar15...

Do you have one of the Vltor marked lowers? If so, that is very cool, not many people can say that.
