    Article of mine on firearms--published

    That's neat. I used to love playing CoC - since my next-to-last gaming buddy moved away and my last one now has three kids, I haven't been doing much lately. :( Looks like a neat article. As near as I can tell with my somewhat rusty German, the second guy thought it had a lot of information...

    Tell me the meaning of your screen name.

    Hauke Haien was a character in a novel I read in German Lit class. (Der Schimmelreiter.) I liked the name, no one ever takes it so I can use it anywhere, and I liked the novel too. Hauke Haien lived in northern Germany and was in charge of building and maintaining the dikes that kept the sea...

    Sloppy technique

    It almost looks like the second guy is trying to bump-fire the pistol. It ought to be theoretically possible to do it, but I don't know why you'd want to. It's sort of fun with an AK for a few minutes, but I can't see trying it with a 1911. But if you were, that would be the sort of grip you'd need.

    Arsenal Found in California; Bomb Plot Suspected

    Five guns is an arsenal? Then I've got 3.2 arsenals in my basement. Geez. This guy's definitely a nutjob, but really, I don't think five guns is an arsenal. I would like to point out that I have exactly NO bomb-making supplies, however.

    Exercised my 2nd amendment rights earlier...

    I've used the orange stuff on cosmoline and it works, but not really well. You need a whole lot of it. Smells a lot better than acetone, though ...

    Stripper Clips???

    Here is a site with pictures of loading via stripper clips. Essentially it's just a way to load the magazine quickly while it's attached to the rifle. They're also a useful way to keep the rounds together in a pocket or ammo pouch. The clip is simply dropped (in the case of a soldier) or...

    Internet help, problem with KeepAndBearArm.com?

    It shows up okay here. Are you using your personal computer or a work/school one? It's possible that it's blocked, if it's not your own computer. Try doing a tracert on it to see where the packets are dying.

    I'm a flincher

    What are you shooting? (firearm type, caliber, etc.) Make sure that your grip/position are such that you're not getting beaten up excessively by the gun. I've found that concentrating on the target works for me - I can get focused enough that I almost don't notice the gun kick and noise...
