Do you buy firearms that look intimidating in hopes just the looks of it will scare a bad guy away ???

sure...ummmm I'm going to buy something just because it looks mean...

Any one of my AR's "looks mean" but without a BCG  thats all it is good for...looking mean.

Functionality over fanciness...

No and I think there's a certain percentage of bad guys who will be scared away by any firearm pointed at their face, regardless of its looks.

No I live in the real world.  I also hold no hope that sound will scare someone away if they are bent on doing what they plan.  I do not care if they are scared by looks.

No, but when I'm out of town I have my mother stay at my house based on that premise.

I just rack the slide on my shotgun and they piss their pants and beg for mercy.

I think it'd have to be REALLY intimidating to have an affect.  Like a para m249 pointed at them from across the room distances.  If there was enough lighting for them to tell you had a belt fed LMG they might decide to run...  Failing that a 100 rd burst of 5.56 in their direction would probably motivate flight over fight response.

You mean like a Masterpiece MPA-930T screams "COCAINE! BOATS! BITCHES!"

Lets look at it from the other side of the coin!   ...If I was the bad guy, I'd take down the biggest perceived threat FIRST!

I know that people who do armed robberies like weapons that are intimidating in appearance.
So, what do you do for a living??

All I have is a recording of a shotgun being racked.
Never been robbed. Coincidence? I think not...

I like my guns to scare libs. Since all bans are based on looks, I like to do as much as is legal.

That said, i doubt it would scare a bad guy any more than a really big swiss army knife.

And, god forbid i ever shoot a bad guy with it, those 12 libs in the jury are not going to look favorably on me.

This.




I like guns that liberals and the fudds don't like though, but they never see them.

You're doing it wrong... you want a neon-pink Hello Kitty AR with the flash hider painted airsoft safety orange.

THAT is the only way I will buy a gun! It has to strike fear in the hearts of the enemy without even pulling the trigger! Oh yeah! Heck even when I go to do some target shooting with my Barret's I have had targets just fall over after just pointing my guns at it. That's how intimidating my guns are....course could have been just the wind...nah!

I painted the can on the front of my AR orange in the hopes some fucker says, "Awwww.... that's just a toy"

You're going to get in lots of trouble for that, I think it's illegal already.
