Target Shooting - Swedish Style!!

#1 Post by saddler »

Makes the UK in general look like the dump it is for us shooters - the form of shooting below is backed by the National shooting association in Sweden!!

Those are the Swedish K m/45 9mm SMG's - still with happy switches from what I could translate - but they may be semi's.
I know Norway still allows such guns in private ownership...

Awesome!

According to a news article:

"Roughly 2,500 individuals in Sweden have licenses for submachine guns."

I didn't know they were legal in Sweden. I believe in Switzerland you can no longer buy new machineguns, the only ones in civilian hands (aside from their issued militia guns) are grandfathered from a few years ago - similar to the situation in the USA (pre-1986 MGs only). I can't remember if Norway has, similarly, stopped new purchases or not, but again they at least have legal ownership of MGs already in civilian hands and quite possibly still allow new purchases.

no reason why people should NOT have them...apart from loopy laws and the mass hysteria of the loonytune mob in the GCN.....

All those madass scenarios they paoint would only happen if THEY had access to such firearms because TH|EY cannot be trusted.

When we were doing that desert shoot a few weeks ago there were some chaps in the nexy "bay" firing M16's etc on full auto...SWEET music. A bloke in Scottsdale gun club was firing a Thomson with drum mag on full auto.....you just HAVE to stand and watch....and drool................and cry.
