  1. Stun grenades FlashbangStun grenades, also known as flashbangs, were originally designed for the British Special Air Service. Stun grenades are used to confuse, disorient, or momentarily distract a potential threat for up to five seconds. A "flashbang" can seriously degrade the combat effectiveness of affected personnel for up to a minute. The best known is the M84 Stun Grenade, commonly known as the "Flashbang", so called because it produces a blinding (1 million Candela) flash and deafening (170-180 decibel) blast. This grenade can be used to incapacitate people, generally without causing serious injury. Standard operating procedure for LAPD SWAT has officers deploy flashbangs close to the point of entry. This is because all attention will be directed towards the door once it has been breached, and deploying the flashbang close to this point heightens the chances that a suspect will be affected by the device. The physiological processes through which this is made possible is quite simple. The flash of light momentarily activates all sensory pigment in the retina, making vision impossible for approximately five seconds until the eye restores the pigment to its original, unstimulated state. Subjects affected by flashbangs describe seeing a single frame for the five seconds (as if their vision was "paused") until it fades and normal sight returns. This is because the sensory pigments which have been activated continue sending the same information to the brain until they are restored to their resting state, and the brain translates this continuous information into the same image. The incredibly loud blast emitted from the grenade contributes to its incapacitative properties by disturbing the fluid in the semicircular canals of the ear. The semicircular canals consist of three half circles of tubing, each oriented in one of the three planes of motion, that are filled with saline. The walls of the tubes are lined with hair cells which use their small, hairlike cilia to detect the motion of the water. This establishes a person's sense of balance and movement through space. When a flashbang detonates, the water in the semicircular canals is disturbed, and with it the subject's sense of balance. The phenomenon is similar to spinning rapidly in one direction, and suddenly stopping. The sensation that the room is moving comes from the movement of the water in the inner ear. Upon detonation, the fuse/grenade body assembly remains intact and produces no fragmentation. The body is a steel hexagonal tube with holes along the sides which allow a blast of light and sound to be emitted. This is done to prevent injury from shrapnel. However, injuries resulting from the concussive properties of the detonation sometimes occur. The filler consists of about 4.5 grams of a pyrotechnic metal-oxidant mix of magnesium and ammonium perchlorate. [edit] Sting Grenades Sting grenades, or Hornet's Nest grenades, are another less-lethal grenade that is based on the design of a fragmentation grenade. Instead of using a metal casing to produce shrapnel, however, they are made using two spheres of hard rubber. Inside the smaller sphere is the explosive charge, primer, and detonation pin. The space between the two spheres is then filled with many small, hard rubber balls about 20mm in diameter. Upon detonation, the subject is incapacitated by the blunt force of the projectiles. The advantage to using sting grenades comes from the fact that the subject is very often knocked out, winded, or at the very least is dislodged from his cover because of the shock. Vision is sometimes also impaired due to minor trauma of the visual cortex located in the back of the head. Some types have an additional payload of chemical agents like CS gas or pepper spray. The advantages compared to a flashbang are The "plug 'n shut" tactic, which is shutting one's eyes and plugging one's ears to avoid being affected by a flashbang. This does nothing to protect a person from a Hornet's Nest's payload, The recipient does not need to be looking at the grenade for it to take its full effect, Stingers are much more likely to cause a subject to either fall or lower himself in pain, thus providing good sight lines to unaffected targets in the area This makes sting grenades ideal for containing small groups of rowdy prisoners, providing a shooting opportunity when a suspect is hiding behind cover, or in allowing SWAT teams to clear small rooms. In many situations, it is preferable to a flashbang. This having been said, there are disadvantages to using sting grenades that should not be neglected. A sting grenade is not sure to lessen the lethality of a suspect, so it is dangerous to use if the subject is armed. This arises from the fact that sting grenades rely on the body's reaction to adversive stimuli (pain and blunt force trauma) rather than in denial of sensory input. Put plainly, a person with sufficient mental focus can concentrate enough to fire a few shots with a sting grenade, whereas a flashbang will physically deny him of his vision and his sense of orientation in space. Also, its effective range is limited when compared to a flashbang. And a CODE BROWN is when someone shits themselves, that is why you would be washing the sheets and deodorizing the house silly!!!!!
  2. What the hell are you talking about? I was giving John the shit for being an ex bellhop and you make no sense at all. *** Wenn ich spreche, macht Sie vergessen es nicht.!
  3. Try a flashbang But then you will be washing the sheets and deodorizing the house!!!! Code Brown @ Lisa's House!

  5. Row over Bush TV 'assassination' The Republican Party in Texas has said it is "shocking" and "disturbing" that a TV drama is to depict the assassination of US President Bush. Death of a President uses archive footage, actors and computer effects to portray the president being shot dead. UK broadcaster Channel 4, who made the mock documentary, said it explored the effects of the War on Terror on the US. But Gretchen Essell, a spokeswoman for the Republican Party of Texas, called for it not to be screened. I don't know if there are many people in America who would want to watch something like that Gretchen Essell Republican Party of Texas "I cannot support a video that would dramatise the assassination of our president, real or imagined," she told the Press Association news agency. "The greater reality is that terrorism still exists in our world. It is obvious that the war on terror is not over. "I find this shocking, I find it disturbing. I don't know if there are many people in America who would want to watch something like that." The 90-minute film shows Mr Bush being targeted by a sniper during anti-war rally in Chicago in 2007. He is confronted by a demonstration when he arrives in the city to deliver a speech to business leaders and is shot as he leaves the venue. The ensuing investigation focuses on a Syrian-born man. 'Irresponsible' A White House spokesman said of the programme: "We are not going to comment because it does not dignify a response." The drama will have its world premiere at next month's Toronto Film Festival before a screening on UK digital channel More4. John Beyer of UK TV pressure group MediaWatch said the film was "irresponsible". He said it could even trigger a real assassination attempt and told the Daily Mirror: "There's a lot of feeling against President Bush and this may well put ideas into people's heads." There will be people who will be upset by it but when you watch it you realise what a sophisticated piece of work it is Peter Dale Head of More4 Peter Dale, head of More4, described it as a "thought-provoking critique" of contemporary US society. He said: "It's an extraordinarily gripping and powerful piece of work, a drama constructed like a documentary that looks back at the assassination of George Bush as the starting point for a very gripping detective story. "It's a pointed political examination of what the War on Terror did to the American body politic. "I'm sure that there will be people who will be upset by it but when you watch it you realise what a sophisticated piece of work it is. "It's not sensationalist or simplistic but a very thought-provoking, powerful drama. I hope people will see that the intention behind it is good." Producers of the film, which is directed by Gabriel Range, hope to sell the broadcast rights to the US. Death of a President will be shown on More4 on 9 October. What is your reaction to this story?

  6. Hey congrats, I didn't even realize I had met you two DOH
  7. NO BILL, WHAT HE NEEDS IS A FEDERAL EXPRESS BAG OVER HIS HEAD UNTIL HE URINATES AND DOES A CODE BROWN
  8. Did you ever cross any Texas border? Quote Hey to you that would be leaving your continent. And John has seen more of the world than you think granted he was steerage on a navy ship but thats not my point!!! WAKEUP JARHEAD!!!! DROP YOUR COCK AND PICK UP YOUR SOCKS, IT'S MORNING LADIES!!! p.s. if you don't understand the above statement and feel offended, please by all means, fuck off.
  9. Um John how show I say this in a delicate manner? Oh yeah wait a min. NOT OVER ANYONE ELSES, DEAD FUCKING BULLET RIDDLED ROTTED CORPSE.
  10. Quotea lot of the gangstas like to hold their pistols sideways when they shoot. only works at point-blank range. why interfere with this??? Quote I saw a guy at the Knob Creek Machine gun shoot out with a chrome(not nickel) plated 9mm with a red dot scope mounted on the side of the slide, I asked him if he did the work himself, his reply? " Ah hell no, I had a gunsmith do this, now I can use my natual pointing style, and I don't miss. I saw him waste a half magazine on a target that wasn't more than 25 feet away, and hit it once. Damn that was funny!!!!! He even had a really baggy set of BDU trousers on that had the legs shortened so they would hang off him like in 'da hood.(he was from memphis) I think he may have been an addict as he was really really skinny and had that look
  11. Ah yes? Where's the limit on calibres/weapons to be used for fun at American shooting ranges? 50 Cal is the largest caliber allowed at any range I have ever been to that did not belong to the US military. "As for firing into the air" yep those guys are just firing $5 dollars at a time into the air!!!! If you think that is not the case here in the USA then you are extremely mistaken, if not, then that would be worse.
  12. QuoteYour scrotum is quite niceQuote Hey thats better than the comments I get! *** "Reel that thing up and put it away" Every woman I have ever known
  13. Quote...2 live chiken! Both alive, in one same plastic bag! WTF am I going to do with them...??? Choke them?
  14. Yeah, but who wants one of those things hanging off your gun? For my AR-15, I can put my gun bag at a position about 4 o'clock from my shooting position, and all my ejected cases will pop neatly right into my open bag. For rifles like my M1A (M14), which throws the cases forward to about the 2 o'clock position, I have a piece of cardboard on prongs that I stick into the ground, to deflect them. That piles them up neatly right in front of me. Those rascals can be hard to find in tall grass, especially if mixed up with a bunch of other cases of similar caliber. Yeah and all that black hills, and federal nickel plated brass isn't cheap!!!
  15. Well if they didn't fuck the tandem Masters after the jump they should have been booted off the DZ for bad manners. Hey at least some tandem passengers remember how to really show their "appreciation" And no it wasn't me Although I would have gladly serviced the instrutcor that took me on my first solo free fall (AFP 3) And the offer still stands!!!
  16. It's not a problem. The carpet of cases keeps you out of the dirt and mud - like walking on gravel. It's hell on lawnmower blades though. Those that are reloaders can do things to identify their cases for recovery. They're usually shinier than the others that have been laying out in the elements. And I put a colored stripe on the bottom of mine with a magic marker to identify them as mine, so I don't get someone else's brass of unknown lineage. Depending upon the range and the rifle I'm using, I may lay a blanket out in front of me, so that all my ejected cases land on my blanket, for easy collection. Brass catchers work well if not firing more than 30 rounds in a burst
  17. So called gun control advocates who "own guns"(John Kerry ring a bell here?" think the only problem is, that guns can be afforded by the working class. Therefore if the firearms were to cost an obscene amount of money, so that the working class and lower could not afford them, the ammunition, or the license to hunt, then only the "RIGHT KIND OF PEOPLE" would own guns.
  18. But, as far as I know, nearly every Joe owning a weapon in your country can go out to one of those many shooting ranges to shoot his money into the air and to feel like GI Joe for an hour.
  19. Bill do you think even a low income criminal that cant afford to get a new stolen gun in 'da hood won't be able to afford a piece of emory cloth and a pencil?
