Been looking for an infographic like this. /k/ makes them all the time, but insert /pol/ tier memes and racism in them.

>>2242As an addendum to this, buy used! A good deal on a used gun is often better than anything on this list new.
Check your local gun shows as well. Expect to be disappointed, but $5-10 entry is definitely worth it if you find something good.

>>2242i think i will make an updated/fixed version of this. there are a lot of good non memeshit plastic pistols in the $400 range that could be added. There's also some really dubious shit on there that should be removed, eg the hi point. not even worth including as a joke.

>>2259right but there's no financial situation where it makes sense. if you have enough to drop $200 on a meme gun, you have enough to drop $400 on an actual gun.
If you're broke to the point where the difference between the two makes or breaks it for you, you shouldn't buy a gun in the first place because you'll just go broke from a parking ticket or something.

No.2287
>>2278>t. retard who thinks buying a better gun than a hi-point is "luxury" when it's shitty to the point of impracticability and even the most impoverished third world armed forces can afford better for their men.It's not sound financial advice to tell someone to drop their last $200 on a gun, and at that level of poverty becoming homeless is a more pertinent threat than le counterrevolution anyways.
if you want a gun and you are that close to the line, buy used. buying a brand new hi point is never the best option.

>>2242Another option is a class 3b laser. They can blind people. You can get one for less than 50$ online. This is way easier to get for many. They're illegal to use on people. However, in a life or death situation it'll work.
>>2242 No.2324
>>2323Anon I'm gonna go ahead and say that 99% of the time a gun is going to be infinitely more useful than a blinding laser. The only time that a laser is going to be useful is at a protest if you want to permanently maim a cop from a distance.

>>2296If they are actually making savings, and have several hundred dollars, they can simply save for longer to buy a better gun. You are arguing that someone who has at least a couple hundred bucks should dump it immediately on a shit gun and I am arguing that if you can save $200, you can wait a bit to save $400 and buy a non shit gun.
You claim that "no one should ever not have a gun", well, the people who are on here considering buying their first gun don't have a gun, and they've made it thus far in life. One would expect that they could go a little longer without a gun and get a decent one rather than buying some dogshit hi point for half the price.
Your argument makes even less sense when you factor in ammo costs, because if you are training even semi regularly your ammo costs are going to be more expensive than your gun pretty quickly. So let's say you spend $200 on a hi point and then $300 on 1000 rounds of ammo, or you drop $400 on a real pistol and $100 on ~300 rounds. Same cost overall between the two. I can fucking promise you that someone with 300 rounds on a p10c or springfield xd will outshoot someone with a thousand rounds on a hi point. Hell, you can have ten thousand rounds on that hi point and they'll still outshoot you.
You are seriously suggesting that someone buys a SINGLE STACK BLOWBACK PISTOL with an EIGHT ROUND magazine capacity and God knows how bad a trigger, over an actual decent pistol, to skip a few months of saving or get a few hundred extra rounds of ammo. You are STUPID uygha. And at that point you might as well buy a god damn revolver from a pawn shop because it'll be better quality and you'll only miss TWO rounds jesus christ. Fuck off noguns larper.
No.2370
>>2330This man speaks the truth. Although if you are going to get a cheap dot, please at least get a nicer one like a Holosun or something. There's no point buying an actual airsoft red dot because it's going to cost you at least a hundred bucks to get your slide milled for an optic regardless so you're not saving that much proportionate to the total cost.
