I was 25 when I got my first "short-term owned" firearm. My Drill made us all stand in a line to get our M16A4s out of the armsroom. 14 weeks of pure bliss. Seriously though, last summer, while home on leave with out my wife, I went to a gunstore to just drool, and found a Mosin for cheap...

Out of the literal thousands of 5.56 that I've fired, I've only had that happen once. It occured during a live-fire exercise while I was basically "spend-ex"ing the last 200 box of ammo for my saw. The weapon jammed, had to put all my wieght into the charging handle, and out popped the two...

You know, that's pretty dang cool. But... 125 miles to get to town?? I'd live off of the 'net and local barter if I had that kinda drive.

I was going to make a reference to the times my wife smacks my hand and tells me to stop....and I just did, I guess. On the weapon related topic, I keep my firearms in the trunk when I'm driving about, because I haven't a CCL yet.

My wife has dropped some hints that when we can afford it, she'd like a 1911, and I keep hemming and hawing on rounding out the east bloc collection with an AK clone. I also wouldn't mind a .22 wheel gun.

m855 will continue through a BG at *close* (within 25 M) range, and most likely also continue through at least one standard wall made of 2x4s with insulation and the such inside. The stuff ain't no joke.

Picked up a Yugo SKS, KelTec P-11, and a nice tan. Making decent money in the sandbox. If I can make it another 12 months intact, 2008 will have been a success.

I've got a WHEN... When is the regular infantry going to get these to replace our aging m4s?

Considering this stuff can go 500m and still put holes in rather thick plastic, make metal go "dong" and furthermore, kill, I personally think it's a bit over powered for HD unless your walls are insulated with sandbags.

I forget that most people shoot for crazy, shoot a flea off a deer tick's bum at 500mm-like accuracy. The zeroing instructions I gave are good to hit crazy Ivans.:D

1. make your front sight post flush with the block 2. twist the rear elevation wheel to "z" or 1 click down from 300 if there is no "z" 3. move rear sight all the way either left or right, then to the opposite side, counting the clicks. Divide by 2 and move it back that number of clicks. Your...

No, thank you for supporting us.

nope, no sling, infact, the pics from my first post are as accurate as it gets. It was a joy to shoot, though, and I'm looking forward to my 30 days leave after this deployment is over so I can shoot 'er some more. Also, I think it was pretty nifty that every single number on the weapon...

because boiling that much water at my folk's house would've been a big PITA. ;P
