I'm fairly surprised nobody has mentioned the venerable M9 bayonet. I personally prefer the M-11 issued to the bomb disposal units, I like the handguard better esp since I'm not using it as a bayonet, purely a survival tool. I used the factory sheath for a long time until recently I picked up...

And while I agree with FlyinBryan, both statements above reflect both hearsay and an opinion that while surely founded in something, does not rest on any provided history. Personally if I was to own only one of the two aforementioned rifles, it would be the one that I chose when faced with the...

I won't leave ya hanging for that long :) Maybe I could be a scab lol --- The room had just gone dark, but after only a few seconds the lab was illuminated by dim emergency lighting. Some of the instruments that weren't plugged into emergency power had stopped running and a few of the...

http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=3129406 Taylor dies after being shot at home :( MIAMI -- Pro Bowl safety Sean Taylor died Tuesday after he was shot in his home by an apparent intruder, leaving the Washington Redskins in mourning for a teammate who seemed to have reordered his life...

First off, sorry about starting off with a story then disappearing for so long leaving you readers hanging. I don't know what possessed me to start a writing project right in the middle of relocating to another city but hey... what can I say. Anyway, I'm mostly settled in now so I can try to...

Earlier that morning in an underground research bunker just outside of San Diego. James leaned back in his office chair, staring blankly at his computer screen, its cool glow illuminating his face. He kept the overhead lights off, relying on small desk lamps strategically placed for maximum...

Thanks for the comments all!

Another source for 1984 in html format broken down into chapters: http://www.george-orwell.org/1984/index.html Incidently, since the topic of the swaztika came up, its actually much older than the Nazis and is an ancient religious symbol...

Hell in CA you can't have a blowgun, that's a misdemeanor. I mean really... when was the last time someone was killed by one of those?! And how do you outlaw a piece of tube? So if I have a section of PVC pipe and bamboo skewers I'm going to jail?? And automatic knives... a spring loaded...

I'm still going to stick with CDC figures. Deaths Due to Medical Errors Are Exaggerated in Institute of Medicine Report http://jama.ama-assn.org/cgi/content/full/284/1/93

That figure is not quite right. I'm not sure what your sources are, but I'm going to lean in the direction of CDC stats. http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/nvsr/nvsr54/nvsr54_19.pdf page 18-19, for 2004 accidental death statistics. On average in the USA about 100,000 people die per year due to...

MachIVshooter: Check out that second link I posted, there is a chart there that shows leading causes of non-accidental deaths as well. Those are from 2002. NOTE: Firearms Statistics Include Gang Warfare, Self Defense Shootings and Criminals Killed by Police Summary: Major Cardiovasular...

Here's a source for some similar stats sourced from the 2002 National Vital Statistics Report. All of them available here at the CDC: http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/products/pubs/pubd/nvsr/nvsr.htm http://www.the-eggman.com/writings/death_stats.html

Interesting crime statistic. I was just looking up crime figures for Vermont, where they are a green state, like Alaska. Population-wise they are very similar, in 2005 Vermont was pop 623,050 and Alaska was 663,661. They are both green states, yet in the category of Violent crime Vermont was...

Let me add that in Vermont, where there is no permit required to carry concealed or otherwise, in the category of Violent crimes from 2004-2005 they ranked as the 48th lowest, followed by Maine and North Dakota. When it comes to robbery, they are 49th, followed by North Dakota. I guess the...

Taking into consideration things such as the fact that "only 2 percent of civilian shootings involved an innocent person mistakenly identified as a criminal [and that] the 'error rate' for the police, however, was 11 percent, more than five times as high", it would make sense to me that it is...

He could hear people outside frantically speaking in Spanish, it sounded like they were arguing over something. Marcus whispered into the phone, "I'm going to have to call you back, don't call me Jane" and gingerly hung it back on the wall, trying to not make a sound. He could just hear her...

Leaving to go see The Brave One, will try to add some more to this when we get back.
