RECOIL Magazine Jumps the Shark...

[RMAC757]

I'm glad I'm not the only one who noticed this statement.

Not a subscriber, never owned the mag but one of my readers made me aware of this in RECOIL Issue #4:

‎"...the MP71A is unavailable to civilians and for good measure. We all know that's technology no civvies should ever get to lay their hands on. This is a purpose-built weapon with no sporting applications to speak of."

Jim Zumbo anyone?

Here's a link to the original post blowing up on their Facebook page. Even if you don't have a FB account you should be able to read it:

Damn, Reed Knight has an outrageous collection of firearms and armor. Space Coast economy is desperate since the Space Shuttle quit flying. Found this place from the "Recoil" magazine online. Makes me want to go back to my old neighborhood!

I admit I have an HK product. VP70Z "Z" stands for "zivilian". First polymer pistol ever. Only has like 4 moving parts...

While cool for what it is, that's one hell of an ugly gun.

HK lost my interest and business over 10 years ago. I'll never own anything from HK. I don't care how "cool" their overpriced/over-hyped products are.

I've always thought HK made top-notch firearms, and judging by their customers that seems to be true. However, I always considered them quite overpriced with roughtly equivalent American made products. Happy I own BCM, S&W, Ruger, and Browning.

SilencerCo has publicly retreated from the Recoil bandwagon.

Sure they can say the founding father didn't envision civilian with full auto small arms, but libs ignored the fact that the the founding father didn't envision governments in control of Nuclear or Bio/Chemical Weapon of Mass Destruction either. Consider that, military grade small arms ain't too much to ask for free citizens.

Another good POV from an insider, Rob Pincus (contained in the article): http://www.thetruthaboutguns.com/201...coil-magazine/

[Monky]

So the whole point of this article is saying that I'll never get my hands on one?

Not like ammo is readily available..

Do I have to be on Facebook to see the editor's response? I didn't see that in the first link.
EDIT: Nevermind, I see it in the link posted by Hammer. Thanks.
