The CA gig was a year or more ago, and I bought a hat at that time, but only because I couldn't afford the semiauto rifle.
'course, between wood work, cutting and splitting the usual number of cords for the winter, doggie walks and so forth, it's probably time for a new one, and I do think that I should support, in one fashion or another, one of the better people in the business.
Two out takes.
Rubber band guns followed a .50 BMG interview????
You, sir, have a sick mind, and I enjoyed every minute of the interview you ran.
And, for what it's worth, he was right about the cat's memory. For "non impact" fun, you can amuse yourself, if not the cat, with laser sights. They don't catch on that it's your fault, but they go nuts at not killing on their pounce.
In second place, what gives with the costs for reloading the .50?
Yes, I know about the economy of scale, but the 4-10x prices for everything involved with the .50 BMG are truely excessive. Perhaps a new law is in order: the first owned weapon MUST be a .50 BMG. Probably a subsection on required firing will also be in order, but if NYC can catalog diabetics...
As a final aside, on the 2nd ammendment side, the current light armored vehicles, which I'm currently working on turret electronics for, will defeat a .308 at any range. And these are the wheeled vehicles most likely to be deployed in any civilian encounter short of mass insurrection.
So, I guess I do have the need for the '82, or at least a real good reason for blowing the bucks, should I ever hit the lot!
Best wishes, and I'll net you on Sunday.
