Your favorite bits of gunboard macho posturing?

One of the best bits of posturing is the old "If you think xx caliber is so wimpy I challenge you to a duel. I get to shoot first!" :rolleyes:
 
People who have nothing better to do than make fun of other people's life stories because they are not A rate action movie material.

Chuck Jennings: If the first shot is good enough to win then it must not be too wimpy.
 
GreenFurniture,

Heh.

Now that you've leaked that tidbit to the world, you might want to duct-tape on a trauma plate or two before going in today. :D

I know I will... :uhoh:

I'm a mortician that shoots dead HUMAN bodies before I embalm them. I KNOW what a said bullet can do. I've shot them all and the .22 is the most lethal round out there. ALL the people I shot were DEAD DEAD DEAD.

I needed a good laugh!
 
My favorites seem to go along the lines of "Because I once killed fourteen rabid grizzly bears inside an Iraqi T-72 with nothing but a grapefruit spoon and a rubber hammock at midnight on the devil's birthday in Cambodia, while high on mushrooms, I think I'm really the only one we need to listen to here. In my humble opinion, the best gear setup for {NRA smallbore/sporting clays/needlepoint/diaper changing} is a bucket with eyeholes, a whiffle bat, and some embroidery floss for garroting, with the Czech Skorpion machine pistol coming in a close second. If you really want to talk about it, come back when you've killed an eaten a mime, because until then, you just don't know!"

Uh-oh! Guess that makes me one of the "l33t" types! :)

GreenFurniture, you actually KNOW Gecko_45?!? Tell him to post here, it'd be a blast! I'd love to hear some recent anecdotes and nuggets of wisdom from one of America's TRUE heroes :p
 
I always get a kick out of the "Caliber wars". Nobody wins, nobody loses and the threads and flames never die.

I also cannot get enough of the SHTF guys who have 15 guns loaded and stashed throughout their homes, sleep with a 12 ga in bed with them and a glock under the pillow. It's one thing to be prepared and another to be maniacally paranoid.
 
Wasn't there some rich guy from Mass. that was bragging about hunting Bambi by crawling on his belly with a Double Barrel Shotgun. :eek:
 
Just thought of one that I had totally forgotten about. I don't hang out much at packing.org anymore but the forums there are often good for a laugh. I posted a thread about one earlier this year.

Here's what one guy had to say in response to a fellow asking what ammo he should carry as an armored truck guard. The best part is when he recommends a Thompson .410 as a sidearm :D :

About the most frequently-used 9mm round in the LEO community is the Federal 124 gr. HydroShock +P+. This round will get through a barrier (unlike pre-fragmented and frangible slugs)but won't "over-penetrate" and do a through-and-through very often. It produces a very serviceable combination of penetration and wound cavity. As far as putting a BG on the ground, one 9mm round isn't likely to do it unless you either get a kill or break a leg with that first shot. The max kinetic energy a 9mm round is going to be carrying at impact is about 500 foot-pounds. It takes close to 1000 to put a man on the ground from sheer blunt-force. If you have to have a first-shot knock-down, go with a Thompson Center Contender with a .410 shotgun barrel. It only shoots once before reloading, but a hit is going to get you a knock-down. With the 9mm (in the words of my CCW trainer), "If it's worth shooting once it's worth shooting twice and you keep shooting until the threat stops." Regarding practice ammo, the previous posts are right - Winchester White-box 100 round value pack's are the way to go. I've put 900 rounds of it through my CZ 75 PCR without a single FTF, FTE, or "squib" round. This stuff also seems to burn cleaner than a lot of other "cheap" ammo.

"Your favorite bits of gunboard macho posturing?"

Most of the posts on any one of the thousand threads on here about shooting dogs.
 
tailgunner - You are lucky, son. You got out just before the automatic pilot jumped out with the last parachute in the plane.

BTW - how was your landing? Soft? :)


Ryder - I did a Google on Gunkid - there are over five pages of hits... you might want to check that out - he might be one (or more) of them. Across time I've seen a lot of TFL/THR thread posts indexed in Google.

If your gonna shoot em, why warn em on the net?

uh...maybe to avoid the situation altogether? But are we expecting High Roaders to loot our homes anyway? What are the chances?

Anyway, I'm tougher than all of you guys and I shoot bigger guns with perfect accuracy. Usually, in a fight, though, I just disassemble the enemy with my bare hands. 'Cause I'm so bad I scare myself!
 
I've heard references to the mall ninja thread many times...never actually bothered to track it down and read the original thread from glock talk until today.

Dang near peed my pants laughing.....OH LORDY!!!
