Welcome to Gaia! ::

So I saw an article about neat new guns that have been announced for 2011. I'll list off a few I thought were noteworthy:

First three you probably know about: the 28 gauge Raging Judge has made production despite the rumor I heard about the ATF becoming a ton of s**t-bricks. The Mossberg Chainsaw actually made production, the ridiculous ******** it is, and of course, the Kel-Tec KSG dual-feed shotgun. Now onto the neat s**t (and all images are thumbnailed):



The LSI Citadel M1 Carbine, in .22LR. A neat little gun, I think. World War looks in a spiffy little plinker.



The SIG556 Russian, in 7.62x39. This is for all you slavfags. xd



The Taurus CT G2 Carbine. Tell me that's not an H&K USC rip-off. Best bit? It's over $1000 cheaper than a USC, and fires 9mm. Gooooo, Taurus!



The Escort Home Defense Shorty. Nothing really special here, but it looks really ******** awesome.


The Kel-Tec RMR-30. It's a PMR-30 made into a rifle. 'Nuf said.

No thumbnail here

Chiappa Rhino in 4", to round out the 2" and 8" models they released last year.

I love the look of the LSI Citadel M1 Carbine. The last time someone built a .22LR version, the magazine didn't come off right, looking more like a Marlin.

And the $235.99 retail price is just about right. I want to see one first hand before getting my hopes up.

the pmr 30 and rmr 30 seem like fun plinkers.

as does the .22 m1 carbine

Taking the Taurus Judge to its logical and surprisingly sane next step is the Rossi Trail Judge:



Okay, that's actually a Rossi Ranch Hand, but the platform is nearly identical from the left side (except the ring). It's a lever-action rifle... thing that chambers .45LC and .410. Yeah, I can see this having some use in either caliber.

Legally, it's a pistol with a really funky grip. I'd call it an SBR, personally.
