The one thing I wished they did was see how far he could get that springfield to. Based on his shooting id say he could of done 450 maybe even 500

Thats awsome

Well at least with the preposed law theres a huge catch 22 that some one could probably easily use to make gun registration unconstitutional. If you do not register you firearms that makes you a felon. If you you are a felon then you don't have to register your firearm, which makes you not a felon. If you are not a felon then you then you had to register your fire arms, but you didn't so you are a felon. repeate indefinetly

Don't you know stickers are like flames, they make a car go faster. Why do you think race cars are covered in them

Well I am all for it. It may not help us directly but at least if it were to pass it gives us some ammunition (pun intended)to force the issue.

I know that the point is to give those that need it more stopping power and that the 1911 is too limited in magazine size. My point at least the way I figure it, if the military were to move to a more powerful cartridge then all branches are going to adopt it because each has service has members in positions that could use it and in order to make logistics easier by having one type cartridge to worry about. Since I believe the government probably has a large stash of 1911’s stored away it makes sense to adopt a new sidearm that uses .45acp. So then instead of having to buy brand new replacement pistol for every one you can re issue 1911’s to those in positions that probably won’t ever have to fire the weapon (unless there’s like a Red Dawn situation) saving the government money since they don’t have to buy as many new firearms.

I dont need any new fangled high tech looking carbine. My .44Mag Hennry Big Boy works just fine (yes I know its only old fashion in style)

I think it will. It may take a while but i dont see it standing up if it were to reach the supreme court.

Well in my opinion the military should move back to .45acp. Considering the goverment probably still has tons of 1911 in storage some where issue them back out to the Air Force and Navy personal who rarely if ever have to use them and the govermentt would not need to buy as many of the new pistol.

I was just TDY to Nellis AFB Its free drinks at the Hustler from 1600 to 1900 not sure what the cover charge is as I never had to pay it (military gets in for free) The Rock House has all you can drink drink for $10 wendsdays 2200-2400 dont know the cover charge there either(one of the guys I worked with soon to be wife worked there so we got in free there too.) The Gun Store is fun but expensive, though if you think about it its not that bad as a box of .45acp runs for about $44 at most places includding on base then factoring in all the taxes and what not they must have to pay. Theres a gun show the 26th and 27th which may be cool to check out.

Its 6.5mm x 52. Theres also a 7.35mm version (if I remember correctly) but those are rare as WWII broke out just as they started to switch to it so they went back to 6.5mm

Yes it is a carcano though I beleive the one used to shoot kennedy was the short rifle version ( not sure on that though) where the one I bought is a cavalry carbine version

The three that I bought so far durring my stay in Las Vegas

Well I guess I am off to an early lead for now. 1. Japanese T-99 2. Italian M-38 3. French MAS-36 Ill try to get pictures later

I know about soldiers using the M14 again but I have not heard of them using the M1. Do you or anyone else have a source for this information, a picture would be even better. I have an interest in history so I enjoy reading or seeing old items still being used, it brings me a type of joy that despite being made long ago and there are new versions that have been made the old tech still works just damn fine and even occasionally better.

Well It also proves one more thing that politicians seem to think and that is playing video games somehow will magically make you good with firearms (and then cause you to go on a killing spree but that’s a whole other topic)

http://roosterteeth.com/archive/?id=1863 This comedy team makes a number af cool series one of which they apply video game rules to real life situations and set up a course to see if it can be done. In this one they creat a cool little zombie course with some left 4 dead elements added to the video.

I am kind of curious how long this incident went on for and why did no one else try to help. I mean come on 300 people only one guy with the guts to help out the couple even if there were 30 teens the group still out numbered them 10 to 1 which is more then enough to stop that incident. That part just really pisses me off.

There is only one problem I see with the story. The fact is unless the news report is quite wrong with the series of events the fire arm had no effect on the situation and it was the mere fact that someone was in the home that spooked the would be robbers off as they split before she had grabbed the gun or at least at a minimum they were gone before they would have been aware she had a gun. Otherwise I believe the girl handled the situation quite well for herself. She may have made some, what could be called, tactical mistakes like clearing the house instead of finding a defensible position and waiting but, that is a mistake plenty of adults would make in that situation and most people would never second guess.

I know the mini 14 is not one that listed by name. Mine just has a folding and collapsible stock and a pistol grip which "magically make it more deadly". I am not too worried though as I figure it will be another couple of years before I return to NJ and by then hopefully the Heller II case will strike down assault weapon bans.

My only concern was that I have bought guns while stationed here though I am a NJ resident and what would happen when I returned to NJ. I had looked up what the NJ assault weapon ban prior so I know that all my fire arms are NJ legal with the exception of my mini-14

Well that is some good information to know. I am currently stationed in Montana and was wondering about what I do about the guns that I bought out here.

Dont actually Knoaw but my guess would be Battlestar Galactica

I played through the single player and did not experience and never had any problems. I actually liked the single player campaign a lot more than modernwarfare2's single player. The only thing I did not like was how short it was. Still haven’t played the multiplayer yet so I can’t comment on that. I did play on the 360 so for all I know the PC version may never have been properly optimized. Based off the single player though $60 is definitely too much to spend on it. On a sort of but not really related note here is an interesting article about gamers and shooters. http://www.escapistmagazine.com/articles/view/issues/issue_259/7704-Gunners-and-Gamers

Joined though how do you not have Audio Surf its such a great time killer when you don't want to get into real serious gaming
