Well now I've been officially sanctioned for trolling. Sorry if folks misunderstood. I am putting points forward and arguing from a position....
Those do look pretty wicked. I am. I like to stoke the fire to read better. I'm pretty familiar with it. Maybe you can show me the code or...
This issue has cropped up again so maybe we need to reexamine it. I think a lot of folks have misunderstood the familiar mantra of "shoot to...
I think we 100% agree on that last bit. From what I can see, the knife related arts are the most difficult of all martial arts applicable to the...
Thank you for those, they are interesting. Maybe there are some regional differences at work here. In the Chi you can't exactly pack heat I...
Fair enough. I'm saying that tendons on a living thing are harder to cut than some of these drills I've watched appear to imagine. The skin can...
Seriously? Because my own wrist has actually been cut open, and it didn't do much other than make me worried about my parents reaction to this...
If you are armed with a knife, what's going to stop the attack more reliably and quicker--a slash to his wrist or a stab right into his beating...
Why this emphasis on non-mortal wounds? Aren't you using a lethal weapon as a non-lethal one, and isn't that a huge no-no? If I were told I...
Also, I'm being repeatedly told I have a poor understanding. Fine. But have any of you actually, in real life, sliced a major tendon with a...
I'm just having trouble seeing how this works in a practical sense. I've read about and heard about many defensive *shootings* so I've got a good...
Aren't you assuming a knife-on-knife fight or something equivalent? He draws, you draw, you go at it? That's getting dangerously close to mutual...
The problem, as I see it, is that by having a knife you'll try to use it. Whereas if you don't, you will use more effective means to get away...
You'd be better off with hardcast heavies even if you have to amp down the velocity in handloads. There are heavy metal jacketed hunting bullets...
Well there's also your feet. Personally I'd prefer a system using kicks and evasion to keep out of a face-to-face entanglement. Barring that...
Pretty much, yeah. From what I can see: 1. They require very extensive and constant training to use well. 2. Even with the best of training,...
Make sure to give it a very through scrub. I can see dried cosmoline on the steel, and you esp. want that out of your chamber and receiver. I...
Very nice! One of my most prized rifles is a 1970 M39. The myth is that they were built to get around Soviet restrictions imposed by treaty, but...
That damage doesn't look too horrible. You should have just duck-taped it back together and kept rolling.
Turf just means it's my hood. I live there. Not a major factor but it weighs into the balance. For example I'm not worried about...
Separate names with a comma.
