NorCalRuss Posted March 31, 2018 Report Share Posted March 31, 2018 Would you buy this for just under $9000? I was picking up my new Springfield xd9m yesterday and there was a guy buying one these m249 semi auto Saws and someone had just bought one the previous day. I asked the guy if he knew what he was buying and he said he did. I didn’t want to ruin the sell for gun owner so I didn’t continue with questions. Basically it’s semi auto that just looks cool. In California you can only use 10 rd mag or 10 rd belt for this weapon. Couldve purchased any other semi auto rifle and added bipod for under $1000 and had same weapon basically without the cool looks 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
concha Posted March 31, 2018 Report Share Posted March 31, 2018 No. The SAW is designed for full-auto, sustained fire. Buying something like that - especially in the People's Republic of California - falls under the "more money than sense" category. Enjoy your XD. I have an XDm 9 and really enjoy it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was a saw gunner for about 18 months. My favorite weapon I’ve fired. The limitations to own one in California makes it a $9000 novelty gun imo. Also have a “fin” attached to pistol grip so you can’t use the grip. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey warrior what scenario do you see where you would need to employ the saw? I love weapons but the SAW would be cool to mount at the top of my ladderwell for affect. But i see it only as a novelty for Civilian usage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BUFORDGAWOLVES Posted March 31, 2018 Report Share Posted March 31, 2018 What weapon would I need to cut down trees 2” caliper in diameter. Just think it would be fun. You know, stupid shit we did as kids, B.B. guns, bottle rockets, etc.,. Asking for a friend I barely like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or a 585 Nyati (750 grain projectile) and even the mighty 4 Bore (2000 grain projectile). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This saw is semi auto, not auto like military so basically no different than any other rifle on the market. Just looks scary. The guy who bought the first one was a almond farmer. Said he’s going to shoot squirrels. 😂😂😂 They can destroy almond land if not kept under control Any other use would be target practice for fun? Or hunting I guess. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a much better area target than point one. A nice shotgun with 6 or 7.5 shots shells will handle that problem better IMHO. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorCalRuss Posted March 31, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2018 Saws are pretty accurate with controlled fire but I understand what you saying. Some people just want to spend money on toys. Why do we allow cars that go 100 plus mph over speed limits on streets. I know they don’t mass kill but the accidents they do cause add up.
