This protest is so tame it is shocking we are even talking about any of this. A guy yelling at cops is likely a daily occurance in the city even without a protest.. The only thing i see as an over reaction is calling everything police brutality. I hope this group doesn't gethoodwinked into making it about cop hatred. They have a problem with a lot of things and the city has let their voices be heard around the world, disparate as it is..

Spot on there bud. One thing a veteran knows is that he/she fought for our freedom. Tell me I can't use my free speech? I think not.

I'm not comparing the average Joe Shooter to the U.S. Army, I am saying that the Logistics is no longer a soft target. We had armored Freightliner trucks with puncture healing 7k gal fuel tankers, Up armored HMMWV's, Cellular and radio interception capabilities, at least two Kiowa's overhead and a M1117 on point with a .50, M240B and a Mk19. All they could do was plant mines.

A former Marine wouldn't have to worry about any of that though. 10 years at war is longer than a lot of enlistments.

All those guys you just mentioned are trained in combat arms and have artillery, air support and armoured vehicles. At least in this country's Army.

I think at the time the Indians won the US did not have that system in their inventory, thus was not a part of the cometition. I haven't kept up as much as I used to so I would not be surprised if we had the system in place now. I have alays wondered how the internal stores of the F-22 would affect missile lock and how the military compensated for it.

This is what I have been reading as well. A few years ago they had the ability to turn the lock sensor in the air to air missile head instead of having to point the entire plane on axis of the heat source. Basically the missile sensors are connected to the pilots helmet much like the cannon on the Cobra and apache helicopters That weapon system has since been exported to countries that use Russian aircraft. I don't know if the US has made anything similar to that since I last read it but that had the US reeling. Especially when India won an air to air competition using the Russian planes.

you certainly know your history. However i always get a bug in the you kmow what when people mention the oil embargo >pearl Harbor timeline and make no mention that Japan had aleady taken manchuria, sunk a us naval vessel and that the US did not want US oil to fuel their invasion of Chinese cities. We stopped their flow of oil and munitions to stop their war on China. We did not just arbitrarily decide to do it. This always bugged me in my history classes as a kid. It has been taught that the embargo brought japan to Pearl harbor and the us was responsible. Japan's ravaging of china brought the embargo. Sorry if I sound like an a**. I can't tell you how many times i have had to tell that to anti military types.

As much as i would like to ridicule for posting such a sign in new jersey, i really would like to know why they would post such a thing. I'm just imagining something like Richards Simmons on a treamill with a 6 shooter on his hip. Usually these things happen after something else has happened. Probably some off duty cop was observed with an off duty piece In the locker room and it freaked someone out. I think it would be interesting to politely ask what brought it about.

I liked this a lot. Thanks.

Yea, its a tv show. Pro gun. Good characters. Great acting and photography. I think y'all would like it.

You can get the maintenance manuals online, if you haven't. Also, +1 on draining the airtanks. It might actually take a few minutes at times to build up the air pressure with that BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!! noise and that is why a lot of people skip it. But the thing is the pressure int he airtanks actually squeezes moisture out of the air and makes water appear and sit in the system. Maintain the air dryer too. This is your brake system so don't neglect it.

Wife and I just added it to ourweekly DVR queue. Haven't seen tit yet but looks great. Prime Suspect is our pick this year though. Check it out if you haven't.

.22 cal machine gun. Flamethrower

hey there Butcher. You must remember that we are still deploying troops to the middle east. Training for that is still going on and is on-going as well as a being ready for large scale terror attacks. That's just what the mlitary does. Keep in mind that if you were living in certain other parts of this country NOT seeing those drills would make you wonder.

Interesting video. My first thought was that in the gel it appeared the expanded bullet turned sideways on "frisbee'd." I have never really thought that the ripping action on certani hollow points had anything to do with stopping power, just the bleed out. If I cared that much about making the dude die after a while I would just dip it in poison. no need to rip him up. But perhaps the 'petals' have a stabilizing ability, keeping the fat face of it forward as it penetrates. Very intersesting.

No one ever considers the cost of maintainance...

We used to participate in one full up stateside operation per year. Our convoys ran supplies(fuel) to aviation and armor units all over the U.S. as part of a Guard and Reserve readiness action. Good training Look up "Golden Cargo" and "Golden Coyote" to get a sense of it.

I think I own that thrower now, if I am not mistaken.

How far out would you say that patterning things is? I can't ever make a good guess. It coundn't be 30 yards could it?

I would site in my shotgun on the rifle range. You don't want to put a target out where the clays are flying.

Hmm. Well I guess that explains why no one voted for Federal Guard Dog in the poll. Good info Bob

Thats a good one. Thanks
