insisted on calling the M60 machinegun a ".60-cal".
I'm sure that was just an arguement for the speed of the SR-71. In fact, in some cases, if it were physically possible to reach out into the slipstream of a Blackbird, (Over 3500 fps at times) you might have to slow down to catch that bullet. Fired by someone else, of course....silliest thing on a gun post?.....on one forum some guys got into an arguement about shooting a rifle round @ 3000FPS while in a jet flying at 3000FPS....where you could reach out and pick the bullet from the air...
12) I want the swat team in polo shirts......BDU's look to much like the military.(my county police dept.)
Actually its kind of pitiful. I have a friend who's fully convinced it is true. I told him I was buying a composite pistol and he pleaded with me to not do it because "they make those just to pass through a metal detectors". I didn't tell him the last time I went to the courthouse the detector went off and their wand beeped for my belt buckle, my shoe eyelets and my GOLD TEETH!The ceramic/plastic Glock is a favorite bedtime story of mine.
Police aren't military, and shouldn't dress or act like they are part of the miltary.
kimbers are a gook value.
flash suppressors keep your enemy from seeing your muzzleflash.
glocks are pretty.
45/70 is better than a 444.
Well, he obviously told what he had been told, but didn't know much about guns or calibers.• The 5.56mm round in the Steyr-AUG is deadly accurate to 600 metres.
Aussie army useful idiot at an armed services display; said in a hushed voice. When I mentioned that I wouldn't call my 10FP in .223 with 69-gr BTHP handloads and a 10-40x50 scope "deadly accurate" at that range, he went blank for a second or two, then looked really smug and said, Yeah, but this is a 5.56mm!
What do you suppose flash suppressors do?
