OK, dumb question: Can civy's buy the XM109?



Yes, if Barrett chooses to sell any to the civilian market.  

You're SOL if you're in a state that bans 50's, though,  so if you're in California, get yours quick before the 50 ban takes effect!

The XM109 is semiautomatic, .50 caliber, has at least a 16 inch barrel,  and isn't an NFA firearm.  So it's not illegal by federal law.

Maybe I missed something; it says the XM109 is a 25 mm.

Legendary firearm. People will still be using it 50 years from now.

Along with the 870, models like the Mossy 500/590 and others will remain some of the most popular shotties around - with good reason.

oh... and Barrett is looking to score a BIG contract on this to be used as a cheap anti-vehicle ordnance. If they can get the Pentagon to bite on this one, I suspect they might drop out of the 50 cal market for a while, like Knight, to crank these out.

Also, even if you had one, I think the round is proprietary to General Dynamics (could be wrong) – so you could not even get ammo for it.

The most devastating gun a person can weild is the one they know so intimately that it takes a serious act of stupidity for them to miss with it.  Beware the man who owns only 1 gun.  A .22 lr is devastating in the hands of one who knows how to use it to its best advantage.

I keep thinking I ought to get one (like a lever-action rifle) but I never seem to get around to it.

For home defense, I've got a 1911 with a couple of full mags.  If anything more serious is needed, the 1911 will no doubt get me to the gun room, and then I'll break out the ARs, garands, bolt rifles or whatever is needed (depending on whether we are talking zombies, aliens, or bigfeet).

OK, dumb question: Can civy's buy the XM109?



No, as it's 25mm.  That's about 100 caliber,  well into DD range.  

50 caliber's the limit, federally speaking.  Anything larger than that MAY be declared a DD by the BATFE,  but its being beyond 50 caliber does NOT automatically make it a DD.   If BATFE says it's not a DD,  it's legal.

But...yes, you can get one.   Pay the 200 dollar transfer tax and you can buy a DD.  Pretty much the same restrictions apply as if you were buying a fully automatic weapon.

BUT....depending on the type of ammo you want to use, the AMMO might have a transfer tax of 200 dollars PER ROUND, too.    HE rounds would certainly be DDs.    Regular non-explosive, non-incendiary ammo should be fine.   But at a price of maybe 18 bucks a shot.

Don't worry DK, I'll grab a microphone/tape recorder & tape the sound of a pump shotgun being charged for you (any pref between Mossy/Remington/Stevens or Winchester?  There's a slight diff in sound between each).  That's all you need anyways, don'tcha know?  Why bother with the actual shotgun, the badguy will wet himself from the mere sound of a shotty being pumped

The rifle, pistol, or shotgun that is closest to me when the threat arises......


Cop out answer but true. If it's in another room and they've kicked your door in and are standing in the den between you and your firearms, you're fucked.

I usually have a .45 pistol close by whilst I'm in the den.

Other pistols are stashed in a couple of places in the house.

And in the bedroom is a cocked and locked AK with a 40 rounder, AND a 12 gauge pump shotgun.

My Thompson is a semi.  

I think a full auto Tommygun with an L or C drum would be the most devastating and deadly in the house....  short barrelled, easy to control....230 grain .45 acps at 650 rpm.....what's not to like?

And, I strongly disagree with you since it's base of fire was limited due to its ungodly rate of fire.

You can set up a 1919A4, and with enough ammo and barrels, keep firing all day. I want to see this done to a MG42/MG3. I really would. Firing 2 hours worth of ammo in a MG42 would be in the tens of thousands of rounds.

Not to mention, it's no where near as accurate as a MG34. A MG34 could offer sustainability, mobility, and a sustained base (with tripod) that would allow for long range and long term deployment. The MG42 was more of a "Stay still in a firefight and advertise to the enemy where you are and then die" MG.



Not to mention, a M240... Well, that's probably the real answer to the best air-cooled MG.

Blech, I've had a bad experience with an 11-87, every 1100 I've ever dealt with has functioned awesome, but the 11-87 I used was absolute crap. It would fail to fully eject empty shells on many occasions, a lot of times it was RIGHT after it was cleaned and lubricated properally according to Remington. It was just trouble. I love every 1100 I have ever used, so I have nothing against Rem. semi shotguns.
