My new SciFi looking real guns

[Reaper57]

Mods, please move to OT if needed.

I love my black guns and when i find one with a scifi look i have to get it.

this is my Walther P22 in 22cal and my Rhineland Arms heavy barrel R22 in 17hm2.

and they is as fun to shoot as they look.

the P22 is a bullpup type and very short.

the r22 is accurate to over 100 yards, it is a 17 cal bullet on a 22 LR case. it uses standard Ruger 10/22 mags

I wouldn't turn down either of those. But how available is 17hm2 ammo?

uhm, I think I just made a mess in my pants.

Those are Beautiful.......

i was worried myself but found it 30 miles away and got some from a Gunbroker auction.

average at $6.50 for a box of 50.

i have run about 150 rnds through it .

it only likes Hornady though, CCI jams sometimes.

the 17 hm2 {Hornady Mach 2} is a 22 long rifle case where the 17 hmr {hornady magnum rimfire}

is made on a 22 magnum case.

check them out at www.rhinelandarms.com around $350 dealer, not bad.

CCI sucks, period...

I've got a 10/22 I shoot regularly and most of the shells in the CCI 200 rd. box you can twist the bullet around in the case by hand...

Waitaminnit... .17 HMR fits a standard 10/22 mag? WOOT.

I gots me some critters in my backyard at night could stand to catch one or two rounds...

 

[CMANavy]

Nice. I don't know about the bottom one looking sci-fi. They look more "tactical roll" to me.

I've got the walther P22 pistol(black) and the G22 rifle in OD. Both are fun to shoot. Try some wolf match target in the G22 and you'll be surprised how accurate it can be. For some reason the P22 pistol doesn't like the wolf match stuff. It grouped best with the high velocity Winchester stuff(superX).


I really like that .17 hm2 rifle. I am in the market for a bolt .17HMR at the moment. Going to go with the Marlin 917VR(bull barrel with scope mounts and black synthetic stock). Wallymart has them for about $187. Reviews had it grouping at about 3/4" at 100 yds with the Hornandy stuff. The ammo is more $$ than the HM2 but it is good out to 300yds for. Gonna get me one of those bullet drop compensation scopes made specifically for the .17HMR cartridge. Should be a tack driver.

Wow, that R22 is even legal in Kalistan. Might have to get my neighbor to order one for me(FFL holder).

i realy love the r22, and have many many rimfires in my collection.

for a semi auto the accuracy of mine is great so far, it is the bull barrel model {1"od} i have a cheap 6x 42mm scope on it now and zeroed it at 100 yds, using a bipod on the hood of my truck {and my elbow} i get a 5 shot grouping of 2" in center target with no flyers,
then for fun i moved to around 200yrds and fired 5 more. i got a 6" group then and was 10" low.

a 17 cal, 17 gram bullet going 2100 fps.

not bad from a semi rimfire. i am sure it would be tighter in a bench rest and i know it aint meant to shoot 200 yrds but it is impressive.

i am going to get a good 3x9 - 50mm scope soon.

call them and talk to Thomas, he is the inventor / machinest, a realy helpfull guy, we spoke several times over the two months i had my two ordered while they got the next run of them out.

a note : they only recommend useing the standard Ruger 10/22 10 round clip in the 17 cal, because of the small bullet diameter they feed crappy with the curved 25 and 30 rnd clips.

with over 200 rnds through mine i have had 100% feed and firing on a single 10 rnd mag.

the older teardrop 30 round clips may work better. i am going to get one soon.

oh , this baby is all machined and heavy , no stamped metal or plastic {except the stock and grip} and weighs an easy 8 lbs

grip and internal parts { hammer, saftey, trigger etc} are ar-15 parts , the bolt is from a Ruger 10-22.

Gotta luv the fact that it uses parts from other common rifles. I think I am gonna have to get one. Now to decide whether to get 22LR or 17M2.

 

[CMANavy]

Hear is a good one too. The Berretta CX4 Storm, great gun in 9mm and accuracy is excellent out to 150 yards (could not get to the 300 yard range to test it). It is also used in the new Battlestar galactica, I just have to add a flashhider and a red dot scope. Used the 92 series mags and also comes with 20 round mags.

 

[jhusel]

That top one looks like it could be a Robocop rifle. Very nice guns nonetheless.

I like the cx4 but as far as I know it isn't CA legal. Note evil removable magazine and pistol grip on a center fire firearm. In CA if it is a rifle and it has a removable magazine, it can't have a pistol grip. The only reason the R22 and G22 are legal in CA is that they are rimfire rifles. If they were center fire, they would be considered evil assualt rifles. :rolleyes

I did not know he is in CA or (PRK). I lived in cali all my life undtill the end of 2005, I know the evils of what SB23 did to gunowners. 1/1/2000 was not a good day for those of us living there with Assault weapons (as defined by the state). I bought my AK beacuase of it and I never registerd either, it was an illegal law. Glad I am out, up in Alaska the wait time is about 5 minuets for your backround check.

Yup, I've always had the same issue with CCI ammo in my 10/22. It doesn't matter if it's the 10 rnd factory mag or the steel 30 rnd stick mags it always has some issue with the CCI stuff.

I guess the bad boy would have to be the M29, 20mm exlposive rounds above and 5.56mm below. It Remind me of the T2 pulse rifle.



Anyone know of an available airsoft version?

 

[bleyd]

Does look a bit like a Pulse Rifle. Maybe this is the predacessor.

Someone on the board, or who used to be on the board was issued one during the military's testing. He said that with how much it weighed unloaded, it should have been vehicle mounted. :lol
