    Shoot wolf through a Kimber?

    Sure do! Well, did. When brass (cased) could rarely be found cheaper than $10/50, and Wolf was $8/50, I didn't see any problem with it. I was plinking, so accuracy wasn't terribly important. I think I've shot about 400 rounds of Wolf 230gr FMJ. Now, I reload, but lately shoot so little...

    Kimber BP Ten II Blues

    I have a BP Ten II myself, and don't recall having any problems when I first got it, or since then for that matter. I was a cheapskate (and didn't reload), so I shot mostly Wolf 230gr FMJ for the first 300-500 rounds. Lately I've been shooting cast 200gr SWC though, and they don't give...

    Anime series Gunslinger Girl

    Which also explains why you haven't heard anyone mention liking shows like Inuyasha. :neener: It's either samauri (which is cool), pistol packin' babes (which is hot :D), or really sweet weapon systems, like Tachikomas (which are cool, if annoyingly voiced) BTW, just finished Appleseed...

    Anime series Gunslinger Girl

    based on it's proximity to the other parts, I'd hazard that it's a mag spring. Might explain the differing coil sizes too.

    Mythbusters 7/13 show

    I may be getting this confused with another show where they ran a car on a track, but the reason why they ran the car at that speed was because the centrifugal force was stressing the tires at higher speeds, causing them to heat up, and they wanted to avoid a blowout and subsequent accident...

    Mythbusters 7/13 show

    I just finished watching the same night repeat showing, and it was impressive. I too wondered why they didn't use something to break surface tension where the bullet would be penetrating, nor did they seem to use anything to catch a round possibly richocheting off the water! :what: The...

    Anime series Gunslinger Girl

    Oh man, am I glad I stumbled onto this thread! :) Totally agree. I saw commercials on Cartoon Network's "Adult Swim" about 13-14 months ago for GItS:SAC and Full Metal Alchemist, and TiVO'ed both series for the next 6 months. Couldn't wait for the last few episodes to air live though, and...

    Federal Gun Ranges Hit With Requests for Access

    Now the question is, how do you know if a range was built with fedaral funds? Obviously, one in the basement of a courthouse would have been, but what about the local "LEO only" range used by the police? How would I find out if Uncle Sam helped pay for it, and therefore I have a right to use...

    Guns in Hollywood and cheesiness

    Well now, if you were a "concerned parent", wanting to make sure an innocent young girl's new boyfriend knew, without question, what he might be dealing with if he's not completely proper, don't you think waving a gun in his face WITH your finger on the trigger might have a bit more "shock...

    Will a .308 do an engine block?

    Brenekke KO slugs vs steel I once bought a piece of 1/4" "weldable steel" from Menards, to test the effects of various ammo on it. 22LR left a cute lil dimple, 7.62x39 punches clean through, .223 goes right through (likely just white box FMJ, may have been SS109 though), and some brand/weight...

    Anybody seen the film CRASH?

    I saw it, if not opening night, a few days after. Now, I'll admit I'm not one to remember details from a movie very well, so I can't comment on specifics, but I really enjoyed that movie. It's definetly something I wouldn't mind seeing again.

    Penn and Teller BS: Gun Control tonight!

    For those of you who haven't seen it, don't have Showtime, live overseas, or just would like a handy AVI of the show on your computer, check out the links Harry posted. I don't currently subscribe, but grabbed a copy from mininova.org and thoroughly enjoyed it. As said by others, they made...

    Clips at Gander Mountain?

    My experience with GM seems to be almost opposite most of you guys. Well, I should clarify that...there are a couple of gents that work the gun counter, that REALLY seem to know their stuff, are always ready to help, don't seem to mind ignorant questions, and so I have no qualms buying from GM...

    Blood money used to buy guns?

    I'll chip in to say that Phantom Warrior described it pretty well. For a while there, I was a regular donor at Biolife, and that $50 a week sure was nice. I'm a heavy guy, so I did the full 880mL (890?), and it usually took me at least 2 hours from in the door to OTD. I don't like needles...

    Can someone tell me why we have to register to vote?

    Well, I may have done what they don't like then... :uhoh: I moved within the last month, and never updated my voter registration. Yesterday I wanted to get my voting over with, so about 10:30am I went to my county auditors office, updated my voter reg, and voted. As an honest lil citizen...

    M1A losing ground to other 308's?

    I don't know if it's losing ground, but I Thank You sir! You reminded me that with the death of the UWB (Ugly Weapon Ban), Saiga's will now have hi-capacity (20-30) round magazines available, and so I am DEFINITELY in the market for a .308 Saiga. :)

    The Good, The Bad & My New Tumbler....

    I hope you got a bigger one, because about a month ago they had the smallest Frankford Arsenal one for $37'ish. :) Man, that sounds awfully familiar. I started mine up the night I got it too, about 300 9mm and 100 .45ACP cases. It started fine, was churning everything around quite nicely...

    Sw 500

    I've shot one, thanks to our area's S&W rep and a local shop. I shot both 440gr hard cast, and a 325'ish grain HP Corbon load. I tried it 2-handed, right handed, and left handed. No matter how I did it, I didn't break any bones, and every shot was pure fun. A .50/.500 caliber pistol is...

    Winchester's 9mm Value Pack has changed

    Two-gun shooting; Anyone tried it?

    Heck yeah! And as others have said, yes, it's a waste of ammo, and yes, it's very inaccurate. I don't care...it's fun. My Kimber .45 in one hand, Steyr 9mm in the other, and shortly after 22 rounds downrange. throwing a little 'gangsta style' into the mix doesn't work too well with 2...
