well these are two seperate stories that happened at different times, but i will throw them in together because they are funny as all get out.
so me and the gun lovers normally sit around in out little huddle all day an discuss firearms, ammo and the like. well there are always the type that like to put in there .02 and make it sound like they know what they are talking about, but they have no idea.

case #1)me and the boys were talking about .45 caliber handguns, my buddies kimber that we had shot the day befor ein particular, when dufas #1 says "yeah i used to have a .45 snubed nose, desert eagle, revolver" :what: i am totally serious! so being the gun lovers we are like " oh yeah, well what .45 in particular. .45acp, gap, long colt", and he replies " colt... yeah colt"!:what: :scrutiny: :confused: :eek: :rolleyes: :banghead: :D so we let him go about his way and now know never to listen to a thing he says.


case #2
again we are talking guns, and happen to be on the topic of the 10mm, and how it came about and such, when dufas #2 says " the 10mm ain't **** man, have ya'll shot the 11mm rd, i shot it one time and it put me on my a**. my dad is the only person i know who can handle it, i have seen him blow down trees with that thing!":scrutiny: :what: :confused: :eek:
wow what do you say to guy, or the two guys for that matter tha have so much gun knowledge, i just wish they would come on the forums and spread their knowledge, so we could all be that squared away.

so i am now in the market for an 11mm snub nose, desert eagle, revolver. who else is in? hey we migt can get a group buy deal!
 
possum, come now, don't you know that there will always be that percentage of people inside the gun culture and on its fringes who believe that raw, overwhelming power in their firearm is a commentary upon them personally.

Heck look over at the Rifle § right this very minute or Handgun § you can see "And Everyone Was Looking at Me" threads ("everyone at the indoor range was in awe of my power", "everyone at the range backed up out of respect for me and my noisy power"). Some people, mostly young men, want everyone to be impressed by their gun's power or noise.

Smile and nod and then invite them shooting. You see, while it is easy to write them off as jagdorks, they are actually potential allies waiting for your invitation to teach them.:)
 
You idiot!
Everyone knows that they don't make the 11mm Desert Eagle Revolvers with a snub-nose barrel! That's the last time I pay attention to any of your posts!
 
bazooka joe,
gottcha brother, you want just one? sounds good but it sure would be sweet having one for wach hand.

el Tejon,
i understand the last paragraph, but the first two are in another language to me, remember everything in the army is on an 8th grade level!:)
so will i mark you down for one as well? :)
 
^ word.

Worst thing I can remember someone saying at work was that an SKS can make one hole groups at 200+ yards. I produced an SKS from my backseat and said alright :neener:

yeah guy in case two likes to tell all kinds of long range shooting stories, but i don't need to bore you with all of them, gotta save some for later.:)
 
These guys should get together with one of my co-workers. He loves to talk about the gold plated.50 cal DEagle that his 100# wife carries as her CCW. Whatever?:barf: I think this guy watches too many movies.

Sometimes people just want to fit in. It's kinda weird to deal with. You want to correct them, but don't want them to feel like a total idiot either.:eek:


What the hell is a "jagdork"?:confused: It sounds funny as hell!:neener:
 
I met a guy one time who told me and my friend--among other things:

1. He loaded .357 Magnum rounds with 20 grains of Bullseye. :what:
2. He had a Pontiac LeMans that would do a quarter mile in 6 seconds, :rolleyes: and had a "special" 70 gallon gas tank. ;)

3. We caught him on a phone, near the barracks talking to a girlfriend, as he described how he single handedly thwarted an attack on our ASP--killed many thugs--and was awarded a Silver Star :eek: that he could not talk about (of course!).

let me guess with only a bayonet!:)
 
11mm...I guess you could say it's one louder than 10mm. For when you need that little push over the edge - "This one goes to 11!"

case #2

I would tell this one: Oh BS. The only handgun round on the market that will tear down trees is the .469 EargeschplittenLoudenBoomen.
 
I would respond:

"A .45 Desert Eagle revolver? Oh man. Only panzies carry .45 snubby Desert Eagles. I have a HK .50 caliber 12 guage revolver. Now thats a real man's gun!"
 
My personal favorite is when I was talking to a brit and he was telling everyone about his father's super accurate rifle back home. He called it the "sniper's weapon of choice" or something and bragged that the first time he shot it he hit the bullseye dead center at 300 meters. He proudly proclaimed it as an ak-47. I said, "Oh yeah? Well I think it's starting to come out your ears now," and walked off.
 
have ya'll shot the 11mm rd,

11mm == .45"

. He loaded .357 Magnum rounds with 20 grains of Bullseye.

Exciting. (For those of you that don't handload, that's at least three times the ammount of a pretty energetic powder that you want to put in there.)

1. He loaded .357 Magnum rounds with 20 grains of Bullseye.
2. He had a Pontiac LeMans that would do a quarter mile in 6 seconds, and had a "special" 70 gallon gas tank.

Back when I was young and stupid, I had a boss that what quite full of stories like this. It took me a while (young and stupid, remember) to realize he was nothing but wind.
 
Possum, you have to talk to them on their level. With the 2nd guy. You should have replied:

"11 mm?? Is that all your dad has?? My dad carries a Glock 12 1/2 mm semiauto revolver. He can bring down trees with it too AND chop the wood."

Then wait patiently for his response. Try not to laugh or smile.
 
So you mean my coworker, honest Walt, was lying when he said he reloaded .454 Casull with 60 grains of power?

I said what were you using, .45-70 cases? :rolleyes:
 
One time when I had recently gotten my 10/22, I stupidly let my friend shoot it, sort of. Well, apparently he put the banana clip in backwards, and had it jammed in there and was now wondering why the gun wouldn't fire:scrutiny:. I had to walk back up to the house and partially dissasemble the gun to get the magazine out.

His excuse: "well on my gun the clip goes in like that". For reference, his gun is a yugo sks, with the stock internal mag.
