    "What rifle?" question in Miami Vice

    At minute 1:36 in the movie. During the scene with the shoot out in the trailer where Jamie Foxx's girlfriend has a bomb around her neck. The (gorgeous) female officer played by Elizabeth Rodriguez, Gina, points a rifle at the white guy's head. He taunts her by telling her he'll push the...

    Putting an "armory" room in your house?

    I'm several years away from owning my own house. I've got the military and law school to finish up first. But in my spare time I occasionally while away the hours contemplating what I'd like to do with my own house. One idea that I've come up with is creating an "armory", hardening a single...

    Transporting magazines and parts internationally...

    Well, I thought this thread would answer my questions, but it didn't. I have some assorted magazines that I want to bring home with me (AR mags, some others), as well as some parts. All plastic stuff, no barrels or receivers or anything. I will be flying out of Germany back to the States...

    Tactical question of the day, Round 2: Duffle Bags

    In my search for some decent cargo pants I ended up on sites like 5.11 Tactical and Wilderness. Both of which sell their own custom tactical duffle bags. Blah blah blah. That did remind me that I need a good duffle bag. I've been using a $20 McDonalds duffle that I got for free several...

    Cargo pants

    I've been a jeans and T-shirt kind of guy all my life. But being in the military and (especially) being in Iraq, where I wear ACUs most of the time, has gotten me thinking about cargo pants. Watching the (Blackwater-type) contractors walk around in cargo pants, boots and polo shirts in Kuwait...

    Bringing weapons from Iraq to the U.S.

    <stupid disclaimer> I am not advocating the violation of UCMJ or Federal regulations, I'm just idly curious. </stupid disclaimer> So, I'm stationed here in Baghdad. Yesterday one of my buddies was talking to EOD about all the weapons they destroy. EOD blows up all the confiscated weapons...

    Arms dealing from U.S. gun shops?

    I was talking to one of my friends last night and he said he saw a 60 minutes episode about a guy who bought Barrett .50 caliber rifles in the U.S. and then resold then in...Bosnia or somewhere. I've never heard that story. Does anyone know anything about this?

    Why a 9mm AR-15 pistol?

    My old roommate dropped off a copy of American Handgunner in my room. The cover article is about the new Rock River Arms 9mm AR pistol. I realize that they make 9mm uppers for ARs and that they make AR pistols, so it was only a matter of time before someone combined the two. But what point...

    Is Para Ordnance everywhere?

    For the last several months it seems like the cover of every gun magazine has had something from Para Ordnance on the cover. Warthog, Para 9, Para Carry, whatever. Para Ordnance is not one of my favorite brands and I like a little variety regardless. Does the PX just have a limited selection...

    When is a "NO GUNS" sign invalid?

    This is something I've been wondering about for some time. Most states have very specfic requirements in their carry laws regarding the size, language, location, etc of a sign banning guns. For example, in Minnesota the requirements are as follows: 1. "The requester has prominently posted...

    Report: Anonymity of Air Marshals at Risk

    Actual article is here. The details are pretty sparse, but it seemse like this is the issue regarding air marshals being required to wear suits and board first that was debated on this board a year or two ago.

    The guns of Paycheck

    So I watched "Paycheck" tonight. The movie w/ Ben Affleck where he is an engineer who gets his memory wiped and tries to discover what happened blah blah blah. Whatever. However, there was a diverse array of guns in the movie. A few threw me for a loop. I'd be curious for your input...

    Opening a gun store

    My best friend and I have been kicking around the idea of opening a gun shop for years now. I'm increasingly intrigued by the idea and had some questions regarding the mechanics of opening a shop. This is still probably at least 10 years down the road, but I've thought of the following issues...

    Cheap Surefire WITH a clip?

    I gave my brother a Surefire G2 for Christmas this year. That's their cheapest polymer flashlight, sans pocket clip. He has been very pleased with it, except for the lack of a pocket clip. He said it tends to roll around in his pocket. He would very much like one with a pocket clip like mine...

    An interesting picture of Kalashnikov and Stoner

    I was skimming Wikipedia's page on Kalashnikov after a comment someone made perked my curiousity. I now know that Kalashnikov is a Doctor of Technical Sciences. On their page I found the following picture of Kalashnikov and Eugene Stoner... (Kalashnikov, left, and Stoner, right.)...

    This one ISN'T Photoshopped...

    You've all seen those funny gun pics where someone takes a Glock or an AR and Photoshops in everything but the kitchen sink as a joke. Usually w/ a thought-provoking caption like "This'll make Swinestein crap her pants." Well, check out this webpage and you can see my issue M-16. And I can...

    Guns of "Payback"

    I just watched the movie "Payback" with Mel Gibson in it today. I was wondering about the part near the end where the Asians pull up in a Suburban and shoot up the taxi Mel Gibson is sitting in. The two submachine guns they had looked really old. Like WWII era. The pistols didn't look much...

    The (hopefully) authoritative thread on under 21 handgun ownership

    Okay. Everytime some poor soul comes along and asks "I'm 20 and want to buy a handgun, what do I do?" someone barges in and goes "NO, NO, NO. YOU CAN'T BUY A HANDGUN BECAUSE YOU ARE UNDER 21 AND IF YOU BUY IT FROM SOMEONE ELSE IT'S A STRAW PURCHASE." Now, I know that's not true. I know you...
