    Joining the IDF in two days, need your help

    You will do just fine. I have been drafted myself and know what I am talking about. First, in conscript based army there are so many "levels" in draftees that A.) they will select the most fit in group A and then B and so on. Or they will most likely train you in a group af many levels so the...

    Do you, or do you NOT shoot, after having too many beers?

    No, I will not take the shot. This has nothing against you, I trust you to be responsible with firearms and you know your limits. But personally, no.

    Gun-friendly nations?

    Igor, we have to remember those guns that were hidden right after WWII, to fight the then looming soviet invasion. Now I don't know how many of these caches have been reported to the authorities, but I do know that somebody does know where to find them. The men that were involved are not that...

    Tell me the meaning of your screen name.

    Salpalinja is a series of fortifications in Finland, and they are located on the russian border. It was build in WWII and it was meant as a line of defence against the russian invasion.

    If the AWB dies, do you think any gun makers will still try to go PC?

    New Jersey, 911 and Me

    Here the approximate response time from police is 20 minutes, and it varies from lapplands 1-2 hours to larger cities 2-5 minutes. So if there are 2 BG and they take turns stabbing you 30 times in one minute, you only approx. suffer 600 wounds :barf: That is if someone called the police.....

    Marine under investigation in shooting of Iraqi soldier

    He is just plain stupid, thats why he told the story. That is if the events happened like that. But if the other guy first made a run for it, and during this same time the guy with the rocket made a move to his guns, then it is a justified shooting.

    Looking for a really good accurate 22lr

    If you need serious accuracy, you can not go wrong with Sako varmint. The next step would be a competition grade anshcutz or similar.

    POWs describe jammed M16's

    So what do you consider to be adequate accuracy for assault/battle rifle?? I think 3-4 MOA is more than enough with iron sights. The assault rifles I have shot (Valmet/sako) could shoot approx. 1 MOA groups from bench.

    okay, really stupid question (please don't shoot me)

    If the local laws permit, how about a silenced slide/pump action rifle using subsonic ammo. That could solve the hearing problem. Could be and propably is a stupid idea :D

    Are we moving too fast in Iraq?

    I would say that if the supply lines and flanks are secured, full steam ahead. There are some risks but they are worth taking. I also think Guderian would be on Turkish border by now :D The sands of time for Saddam are running low.
