Tomarow i plan on going on a drive to find the nearest gun store and i was wondering if most of them usually have mac 11s and ar-15s around? and are there prices usually higher than what is posted online?

Johnny, man, not to bust your bubble or anything but MAC 11's are not the best choice for a 9mm handgun you know? I say this because I see you're quite set on them.
AR 15's they should have a lot.

Aye unless you have a class 3 all a mac is, is an over sized glock without the reliability, accuracy, natural pointing, coolness and sexy lines, and if you're thinking about full auto without an class three it'd probably be better to just make something from mail order parts.

XD-9 is way better than a mac.

There are many gun shops at the moment which, although they're usually plush with ARs, will be out of stock due to panic buying out of concern with the upcoming presidency and future AWB.

You're not going to get a MAC11 unless you have three months and forty five hundred dollars to kill.

I assume you meant the semiauto version -- like a cobray?

Damn, ok thanks. Ill probably pick up an AR then. Do you know if the AR-15 would be a better choice then an M-15?

Pardon my ignorance, I do not know of any weapon named M-15. Could you possibly be talking about an M-16. Because, again, that is an NFA weapon.
The main difference between the M16 and the AR-15 is that the former is select fire, while the former is semi-automatic. Naturally, having the option of burst fire or full auto fire makes a weapon better, even if you don't use it, but these are tightly regulated almost anywhere.
These guns will run you several thousand dollars tho; you can see here:

Also a kickass gun collection by the way.

To be honest, a M15 is something the airsoft manifacturer G&P made up.

Thats an M-16A2 with an M203 40mm grenade launcher underneath if my eyes are right.

Given that it has an ArmaLite logo, it probably is an M-15. That's what they call their AR-15s these days. In any case, I wouldn't buy a new ArmaLite unless it was very cheap. There are much better ARs out there.

But didn't the Wiki thingy there say that the original M-15 was a hopped up HBar M-14 SAW?

Yes, those are two totally different weapons. Both of which are far out of the price range of our OP (who is shaping up to be a Gecko45 anyway).

now THAT is a Airsoft rifle, looks at the grenade, it has holes for the bbs.

edit: and i think it has the normal Mauri magazines (they are shorter than the real magazines... Law issues in Japan)
edit:edit: it also sports the fat pistolgrip that most airsoft rifles do have, because of the motors size (it's mounted in the pistolgrip). The only airsoft rifles with normal sized pistol grips are Systemas.

sexy lines

Ya know, I like alot of 70's and 80's cars with angular bodies, but "sexy lines" is not a phrase I'd use to describe a Glock.

Nothing to do with this thread, but if the Chinese ever somehow invaded the east coast of America, I would love to be able to defend the homefront with a M-16a2 with the underbarrel grenade launcher.

Are desert eagles as useless in .44 as they are in .50?

While you're at the gun store buying your AR-15, desert eagle and gangsta mac11, don't forget for each weapon you buy, you need lasers, close quaters scopes, a nightvision scope, a forgrip, a flashlight, and just for good measure grab a few extra lasers to go with all that also don't buy a normal desert eagle get one gold plated otherwise it won't blow someones head off in one shot. Don't forget to hold the guns sideways when you shoot either. ;-)

Desert Eagles are quite useful in either caliber. Just not as a defensive handgun. If you can afford the ammo, they make great target and hunting weapons.

Gold plating adds alot more weight to the gun so it doesn't kick as hard.

Desert Eagles

While I was waiting for my background check to go through when I bought my CZ-75, I asked to hold one of those behemoths just for shits and giggles. Ive got to admit, when I hit the slide release and that huge ass slide slammed home it put a grin on my face.
