:what: Gee Monkey I thought you were up on all things military.:neener:

Over long and awkward, to me anyway. BTW Someone mentioned the Brits and the FN. If the Brits had made a rifle on the available FN plans it would have been more like the FN49 rather than the FAL. A good rifle but not as good as the Garand.

http://www.gunsandammomag.com/long_guns/insurgentga_033007/ Well last I heard the war had wound down considerable, but I haven't been keeping up with the news much lately. All this killing talk has had me remembering all the dead men I've seen over the years and how many gruesome murders...

Gamo makes some good sturdy break barrel guns, they carry them at Walmart so you might catch a sale on them.

You could try one of these. http://www.dentrinity.com/ClarenceLai/Kitty.htm The real "Hello Kitty" Airsoft pistol not the fake photoshop ones you'll see on the hoax sites. The Airsoft Extreme Hello Kitty XM8 is more radical but I cant find a jpg of that one only short glimpses in videos.

people back then were a lot tougher than modern man has been for thirty thousand years and I've heard of no evidence that any man ever killed a Shortfaced Bear. Shortfaced Bears could have eaten Grizzly for lunch. Neanderthal burials have included Cave Bear skulls but the Neanderthal was three...

Is the Aircrewman the gun they recalled because of failures of the alloy cylinder and reissued with a steel cylinder? I had an early model 37 that had the alloy cylinder, I traded it off when two chambers bulged enough to chamber the .38 S&W easily.

There was a 7/8 scale .22 caliber single shot replica of the Colt 1860 Army produced around the time of the Civil War centenial, beautiful little gun. Probably a costly collectors item if you could find one.

A friend of mine had one of those. His brother was one of the officers incharge of evaluating captured enemy automatic weapons in WW2. They apparently let him keep the weapons sent to him because the collection included everything from Mauser schnelfuers to both the MP43 and STG44. He had both...

Thats what got my goat right there. I've seen far too many holocaust deniers in the last few years and skinheads trying to paint the NAZI as better than they were. Roberts' strawman remark made, and still makes, me wonder if he falls in that category. As for Texas Building codes I doubt the...

I for one would like to see what they have to say. More on Whitman. Guess that puts paid to standard rifle caliber weapons being as good or better than .50 cal in knocking down light aircraft. I can remember the Texas Tower incident fairly well he was doing a King Kong up there. killed...

Don't know what cities you been to but there are ample opportunities for extreme long range shots. The Texas Tower Sniper Charles Whitman made hits , or at least engaged individual targets ,out to 1,300 yards.

Col Patterson shot one of the Maneaters of T'savo point blank twice in the back from a perch at a downward angle with a 12 gauge. The Punkin balls went under the skin and slthered a few inches along the spine but only knocked the Lion down for a moment. When the lion was killed later they found...

I have my doubts about you as well. Do you doubt the wounding characteristics of the Mk 7 .303? They are well documented. Do you doubt the published shortcomings of 5.56 AP at Close range? Do you doubt eye witness accounts of German Atrocities against their own wounded? I'm probably...

I wouldn't be too sure of that, just as your lymph nodes under your armpits measure the CO2 levels in your bloodstream and regulate your breathing the internal organs of Large animals send signals to the brain and spinal cord warning of wasted effort and modifying behavior. Instinct is often...

I once had to take a capped stick of Dynamite away from a guy who was building a bomb to blow up his ex wife. When I walked in he was assembling the bomb on the coffee table right in front of a color TV, one of the old ones that you can feel the static electricity and radition coming off of...

Tungsten 19.25 Tungsten carbide 14.29 Guess it depends on the alloy. I knew Tungsten Carbide was lighter than pure Tungsten, but its not as light as I thought. The Tungsten Steel Alloy in the AP M2 bit had me confused also. A Steel core bullet otherwise dimensionally the same as a...

I believe we see eye to eye on that point. Unfortunately the enemy adapts his tactics to your strengths. If you give up long range accuracy for convenience in ammo load and handines he can attempt at least to force you into a long range duel such as the mujahadin ambushing soviets in mountain...

Because if you hadn't noticed most combat at under three hundred yards today involves sturdy third world dwelling of one sort or another and/or barricaded diehards that hope to take you with them. Chechen volunteers with al-Queda trained as many insurgents as they could in the house to house...

So? Look over my posts and find where I supposedly said it was a Deliberate design Function. Remember I'm not the one that said the wounding rather than killing was a valid practice in the real world of today. The DOD Suits are the ones who tried to use the wound rather than kill theory to...
