.223 bullets

Ok, I dont want to sound like a complete gun newbie..... which I perty much am, but still...  What is the correct way to say .223?  I'm almost positive you dont say it "point two two three".

"two-twenty-three"

Edit: Curse you WUNgUN

That is what I was kinda thinking, but I didnt want to say something to my friend who is a big gun person and be like "yeah dude bla bla two twenty three" and he laugh his ass off at me.... Thanks guys.

i say, two two three, or five five six.

Sorry, but you will need to be a German to get it as standard weapon, you'll get a M16, but you may train on the G36, as well as many others.

I know I wont be issued one, but I can buy one once im in the military.

To the dude talking about the SL8- Yeah I saw thoes and thouhgt about it, but I realy dont like it, it does not compair to the sexiness of the 6C.  Even with the conversion kit I dont realy like the looks of it that much.

EDIT** If you will notice on the picture below, it is mostly the rail I dont like on the SL.

The fac that you'll be in the miltary won't give you any special privelages for buying civilian weapons, unless there's something that the world is holding from me. The same rules apply to me as they do to everyone else. If you can't legally own a certain weapon as a civilian, you can't legally own that same weapon as a service-member in a civilian capacity,

Black market?

you can go ahead and buy an illegal machine gun... i for one will do no such time in a federal prison for that...

all my guns are legit... and i'll only discuss legitimate firearms... if there are G36's that were manufactured before some date (i think like may 1986) you can get a Class III to own them (if your state allows it)... but as far i can recall the G36 is newer than that... your next best bet is getting a real G3 or CETME, they are readily available, and do some type of conversion to make it look like a G36... it would be semi automatic... but still cool.... the G3 (top) is like the older brother of the G36 (bottom)...

 

pballa, what that means is that your military unit or law enforcement agency can purchase them... but it will be owned and kept by them not you... you personally can't use it unless you are on duty or doing some type of military/LE activity... but the US army has contracts for the M4/M16 from I think Colt... and the M249 from FN... SWAT/Special Forces can get HK MP5s and pretty much whatever they want granted they have a "need" for it... if you are just joining the military, you don't have a "need" for anything other than your M16 to pass basic training...

what state are you from, and where is that link from? as long as that G36 has a pre-1986 production date and your state allows it... a class III transfer would work... you're gonna pay a lot for something like that though...
