  1. I kinda know what Loudiamond does for a living. He would be holding an M4. Again, you have AR-15s which are semi-automatics and are known as black rifles. They may have the same appearance as a military assault rifle, but without the sear, disconnector, selector, bolt carrier and hammer, it's a black rifle. Catch the difference? mike Girls only want boyfriends who have great skills--You know, like nunchuk skills, bow-hunting skills, computer-hacking skills.
  2. Colt's an option, but Kimber, Springfield, Wilson Combat, Rock River and a whole bunch of others build guns to tolerances much tighter than Colts. Most are still Series 70-based and don't have all that extra Series 80 bullshit inside, and are therefore more reliable. Since most use match-grade barrels as well, they will also (way more often than not) outperform the Colt right out of the box. Hmmmm, come to think of it, didn't Colt cave in to the gun banners and just stop making the 1911? Hmmmm. If yer gonna get a gun, buy one of the above. mike Girls only want boyfriends who have great skills--You know, like nunchuk skills, bow-hunting skills, computer-hacking skills.
  3. Actually, I would bet that is certainly an assault weapon, and therefore not an AR-15. That would be an M4, the shorty version of an M16. M4=select-fire=assault weapon. AR-15=semi-auto=black rifle. Okay class, 20-minute break and we'll meet back to talk about black rifles. mike Girls only want boyfriends who have great skills--You know, like nunchuk skills, bow-hunting skills, computer-hacking skills.
  4. Shhhhhhh. Damn it. Delete that. The anti's might hear that and send it off to to the evil sarah brady et al. Guns going off by themselves? oh the horror!!! I still say it is a classic AD. From the powder burns, I bet he was doing that thing where you rack the slide by holding the pistol in your right hand pointing across and down in relation to your body. Grasping the slide with the non shooting hand, therefore pointing the barrel right at the meaty part of the palm and when suddenly released, (with the finger on the trigger ) blam! A pair of new orifices! O, I know they do it in the movies, but that doesn't mean it will work...safely, anyway... mike Girls only want boyfriends who have great skills--You know, like nunchuk skills, bow-hunting skills, computer-hacking skills.
  5. Hell yes, a little neosporin and a bandaid and you'd be good as new. Love to hear the story behind it, but it's screaming AD to me! mike Girls only want boyfriends who have great skills--You know, like nunchuk skills, bow-hunting skills, computer-hacking skills.
  6. Well, you also aren't allowed to engage personnel with a .50BMG, but you can laze a person sitting in an office and call for lazer-guided munitions to be sent to that pos. Interesting huh? Hollowpoints are considered inhumane by the GC, as if shooting someone in the first place is humane. If you can find some verifiable source to the "true story" you reference, I would love to see it. No offense, but the shock cavity from a 62-gr. .223 fmj traveling say 2700fps is not something you'd place a band-aid over and then send the person home. mike Girls only want boyfriends who have great skills--You know, like nunchuk skills, bow-hunting skills, computer-hacking skills.
  7. You are on the right track, but there was total political manipulation going on with the acquisition of the M9 as a service pistol. Its an interesting story I won't get into, but it involves politicians in Maryland, as well as the friend of the common man: Teddy Kennedy. Nato had a role as well, among others. The really funny/scary part was when the guns were fielded and the slides started breaking. The entire rear of the slide, from the breach back, would break off, fly back and hit whomever was firing it in the face. Scary shit. But, rather than nip the process in the bud, they gave Beretta the op to fix the slides. They did and they work. Interestingly it seems in the current conflict, lots of unit commanders gave their personnel the option of bringing their own sidearms. Personally, I would be happy to lug around my own .45 ball ammo rather than that powder-puff 9mm fmj shit they have to shoot. mike Girls only want boyfriends who have great skills--You know, like nunchuk skills, bow-hunting skills, computer-hacking skills.

  9. Well, then that kills the gilding plan. Maybe some rich private collector would buy his foreskin for a handsome wad of cash. Then I could get my secondary alimentary canal bling all shineyed up. Yeah! mike Girls only want boyfriends who have great skills--You know, like nunchuk skills, bow-hunting skills, computer-hacking skills.
  10. your a ...... *** Your denotes ownership. I think that to be effective in your insults, using the proper wording is key. See how I used the possessive in the last sentence? You're is the contraction I believe you were looking for, I think. Shhh, Let's try it again, but correctly this time. mike Girls only want boyfriends who have great skills--You know, like nunchuk skills, bow-hunting skills, computer-hacking skills.
  11. Isn't there a reward on his head? Well, since I would have it, literally, I could cash some in for gold and have the whole thing gilded. Maybe I will even remove the eyes from his head and have them gilded too and attach them to his intestines to really make the bling sparkle. He's a chunky guy and you know, I am not the type of guy to let things go to waste, so I might have to bring back a slab of fat too, so I could render it and make tiny soap balls that would automatically dispense from his empty eye sockets when I tugged on his nose or something. mike Girls only want boyfriends who have great skills--You know, like nunchuk skills, bow-hunting skills, computer-hacking skills.
  12. That kinda goes along with my original idea, but I chose to keep it to myself. What the hell. I think I would have bolt the head to the wall of my bathroom, cut the top off, invert it for the ashtray, then wire his jaw open so I could use it as a tp dispenser. I think I would probably go ahead and disembowel him while I had the chance as well, so I could braid and dry his small intestines to make some new bling bling. Everyone would be so jealous. mike Girls only want boyfriends who have great skills--You know, like nunchuk skills, bow-hunting skills, computer-hacking skills.
  13. Can I just eject, land, stop the bus and kill him in a knife fight? I seriously think if I were successful in bringing the head of Saddam back to my unit, they'd let the intentional crash landing of a $10 million aircraft slide. I would wanna keep the head though. I need a new ashtray. mike Girls only want boyfriends who have great skills--You know, like nunchuk skills, bow-hunting skills, computer-hacking skills.
  14. Geneva Convention aside, the troops are governed by the ROE. I still wonder exactly what the ROE are over there. Back in the day, I had plenty of AKs haphazardly yet purposefully sticking out the windows of vehicles pointed at us. The only thing you could do was cover them and make eye contact so they know you're more ready to play than they are, while their fingers rested on the triggers. The smirks those little fucks had on their faces were incredible. On the flipside, while taking fire from a line of bushes, we could not return fire because we could not "make clear visual contact" with the person trying to kill us. There is no easy way to do what these guys have to do. Just sit down, shut up and hold on. It might get bumpy. mike Girls only want boyfriends who have great skills--You know, like nunchuk skills, bow-hunting skills, computer-hacking skills.

    did he just re-break something so he could stay home longer? I think I have an idea... mike Girls only want boyfriends who have great skills--You know, like nunchuk skills, bow-hunting skills, computer-hacking skills.

  17. Not opposed at all. You clip two totally different scenarios: One of protest and one of revolution. You are throwing apples and oranges into the same pot and stirring them. Just reread the thread. While I enjoy your frequent twisting of situations and conversations, I am not playing today. Btw, I protest with a ballot. Peace out. mike Girls only want boyfriends who have great skills--You know, like nunchuk skills, bow-hunting skills, computer-hacking skills.
  18. The velocity of the 5 Multiple Wood Baton Rounds from CTS is 280 fps. If a launcher was raised in your direction, you wouldn't be able to out run the things, but you could certainly have a chance to turn. If you'll notice the hit in the person's upper right shoulder is a grazing shot, he was quartering and away from the origin of the shot. Actually, if you look at the prints of each shot, they tend to suggest he was at an angle. So, getting shot in the back with one of these things is not indicative of someone running away, or even walking away. Also, we don't get a chance to look at his front, and therefore, not much of an assumption can be made on his actions at the time. Also, I hate the term NON-Lethal. None of the tactical ballistic crowd control items are NON-Lethal. They are Less-Lethal. Even CS/CN gas can be lethal. mike Girls only want boyfriends who have great skills--You know, like nunchuk skills, bow-hunting skills, computer-hacking skills.
  19. I didn't take it as an attack on me. I knew it was directed towards me, and I just don't want to be labeled as being obsequious when it comes to the federal government. I think the wording of my post may have been used before, but it is my belief--not a quote liked and started using. It was also put out there sort of in jest. Mentioning the 1st Amendment within the Kent State reference is indicative that folks only know what they read in some 8th grade history book. Kent State was a fucked-up situation that clearly left no winners and did nothing to impact our withdrawal from Vietnam. Comparing Kent State to what happened in the story which originated this post was reaching at best, but in my opinion, Kent State doesn't even come close to the government's atrocities from Wounded Knee to Waco. Nor does it make one right (especially in a system which coddles the criminal and rapes the victim). I am not just talking about walking behind someone chanting profanity at a protest--someone following someone else throughout their day, screaming obscenities about them for all to hear. Ya know, just exercising your first amendment rights to say whatever your little heart desires. The Constitution can be amended, to be sure. But, the framers of those pieces of paper were quite clear in their intent. I really think they were much smarter than we are today. They had seen how things happen. They knew how tyranny happened. They installed safeguards throughout their system of government to prevent it. The system was less dependence on a federal government and more dependence on the state government. That's why they gave states rights. (That's why when the Confederate states seceded, the ensuing Civil War was unconstitutional, yet a very good reason to increase the power of federal government.) And, as we all know, there are ways around everything. Unfortunately, it's a very slow process much like watching grass grow or the UN's involvement in the destruction of our essential liberties (the UN has had plans to disarm the general populace of the United States since at least the 70s). It's all about a slow and seamless erosion of our rights and freedoms. It's not a coup d'etat its rather a ralentissez la poussée d'etat. It's not the guns that make you right or wrong. As with any tool, it's how they are used that is the defining factor. As a final note, this country was created by the minority. It's just that the minority were armed and had a stronger will than the British. mike Girls only want boyfriends who have great skills--You know, like nunchuk skills, bow-hunting skills, computer-hacking skills.
  20. Ummmm, I dunno, that's just what they tell me in my pro-gun classes out behind the old woodshed, right before they hand out the little American flags on sticks. As I recall, somewhere in that mantra we chant over and over, it goes something like this: The Second is the Amendment that protects the citizens of this country from being oppressed by the government should it become something other than what was designed in the Constitution. In other words, if the government decides it will oppress rather than represent the citizenry of the United States, there may be a call to arms to remove the cancer from the capital. Now, the funny thing, you make an argument that is clearly directed towards me. I ask you this, since you know me and can make assumptions such as these, have I ever said anything truly defending our national government, or would you consider my comments in the past to be more defensive toward the Constitution of this great nation and the people who volunteer their lives to defend her and her precious freedoms? On a tangent, people protest simply because they are in the minority of opinion. Protest is fine in my opinion. I do find the people who protest in an other than orderly and reasonable manner to be infringing upon the rights other Americans. When they do that, they are not subject to any special treatment. Let's just say I don't like someone. Would it be okay to follow them around all day repeating every nasty thing your mother washed your mouth out with soap for saying? I am betting somewhere you can find laws against that. I am also betting that throwing objects at police officers is even more clear-cut in it's definition of an illegal activity. Where's the 1st Amendment come into play? What about trying to seize the Golden Gate Bridge? Is that something we want to entertain as a freedom of speech? mike Girls only want boyfriends who have great skills--You know, like nunchuk skills, bow-hunting skills, computer-hacking skills.
  21. Totally! And without the 2nd Amendment, there'd be no 1st Amendment. mike Girls only want boyfriends who have great skills--You know, like nunchuk skills, bow-hunting skills, computer-hacking skills.
  22. From ABC7 The object in that photo is a specialty impact round designed to be fired from a 37mm gas gun or a 37 mm M203 grenade launcher. They are called 5 Multiple Baton Rounds and are for outdoor use in riot-control situations where teargas is not chosen, yet a crowd must be dispersed quickly and efficiently. They are filled with five wood or foam projectiles with an effective range of 50 yards for wood and 50 feet for foam. The correct employment procedure is to fire at the ground to skip-fire at the feet of the rioters for a ricochet effect. If they were direct fired, they were used incorrectly and could have been lethal with a direct hit at close range. Also, when shot, they tend to follow each other, and would either impact together or group on the direct-hit target. From the pic, it looks like they were employed correctly. I am still not sure of the rest of this story, but it seems to me, if you're going to protest and something like this happens, ya might want to go ahead and either run (speed walk) or beat the shit out of the guy who starts throwing shit at the cops. mike Girls only want boyfriends who have great skills--You know, like nunchuk skills, bow-hunting skills, computer-hacking skills.
  23. But, there's three sides to every story. This story only has one and a half. All those people and not one bystander to interview? Not one outside witness? Not even one participating police officer? I hate crappy reporting. I agreed with you that this is messed up until I read the story. I thing there was quite a bit more going on than this story reveals. On a side note: Hope that vice-mayor guy never needs the police for anything. mike Girls only want boyfriends who have great skills--You know, like nunchuk skills, bow-hunting skills, computer-hacking skills.
