Imagine this... a CZ 527 Carbine in this caliber, with a suppressor on it... shooting Hornady V-Max bullets.
Tell me you couldn't find some urban application for that tool.

I've been working on Mack Bolan too long to think of anything other than vermin removal...

But it took a "clean" car and made it a polluting suicide-mobile for reckless youth. It kills morons AND pollutes!

Steve-O going off a bridge into the front of a train in one of those would be epic humor!

I never understood the sexual appeal of Seven of Nine, but Jeri Ryan herself is another matter. She's a smart, talented and funny person. From guest stints on Boston Legal and Two and a Half Men (with hilarious performances there) and her regular starring runs on Boston Public and Shark, she truly has been able to show many great, attractive qualities when playing roles for grown ups.

And frankly, we have to remember, Seven of Nine was there to be a spandex pillar to keep Star Trek: Voyager from collapsing. She wasn't meant to be there to ACT. She was meant to be something for sexually constipated nerds to magnetize to.

Mustangs running free?

The reaction to the touching nearly had me howling, LONG after midnight...

I'm sorry... I laughed.

Love anime and Manga. I have some editions of the Cowboy BeBop manga, and love the show.

Another favorite is Bastard! But it works best subtitled with the original Japanese to hear all the American metal band names pop up in conversation.

Slingshot and moist dog poo, wrapped in a paper towel.

They make a Saiga .223/5.56, don't they?

I did a fantasy short story once where a necromancer brought horses back from the dead with carnivorous tendencies.

Their bites were horrifying.

Zombies. It's for zombies.

Oh. Okay. Different company. I figured that the M16A2 improvements weren't part of Colt's ideas anyhow.

Seanp - I said the differences between the Canadian '16 (the C7, not the C1, my bad) and the American '16 were no where near the same difference between the Russian and CZ rifles. "Not even..."

And thanks for correcting the C7 designation.

That thing looks cool.

Truly! I might want to use it as the basis for a post-apocalyptic sidearm in a book.

Cool find!

Why does everyone always hate on my wood for grip? I like it. It feels good, and works. My M4 had a for grip and I liked it. Is it because its wood?

-khorne

I love that wood foregrip. Don't ever change it! The rear grip needs to be changed, but the folder is beautiful. Leave it.

I've never been much for a tricked out AK.

A flat-top M-16 with a close range, low magnification sight and a foregrip is my idea of all the trick you need.

"It's sickening to know that our Allies in WWII take America for granted. What must happen before this changes?.... Will it be too late?"

The Canadians are more "ground force." Their precision marksmen have been capping Haj in Afghanistan with boring regularity and MacMillan .50's.

As for the Canadian Navy, Canada has solid pack ice on the north, Alaska on the west, and the inhospitable North Atlantic on their east. Calmer waters as covered by us.

...

wait, what was the question?

I repeat my undying affection for young Ms. Hathaway.

Despite the irony of that thread being that she and Clay enjoy the same thing.

*runs as h steals Ogre's bunkmate.*

PS - right now, we're celebrating Anne Hathaway's proud proclamation that she's straight (in the Clay Aiken thread).

http://theguncounter.com/forum/index.php To the Gun Counter!

I love that Bears with Guns motivational.

I wish I knew what series it was too.

Kim's old crowd, the Nation of Riflemen/Gun Thing folks moved over to the Gun Counter.

Perfectly cool spot to talk guns and politics.

Still, aside from Strongbadia, Ogre Nation is the coolest nation in the US.

Our current President is not and was never a conservative.

Look at the bloated bureaucracy installed to "streamline" national defense. Rather than using Presidential authority to tell the thumb sucking jurisdictional bitches to stop acting like babies and continuing to allow Americans to be murdered by Haj, he invents an all new, super-fat, ungainly agency.

Let's throw in his willingness to extend the AWB as well.

Man's not shooting par for the course, he's Eagling every damn shot and going for a record.

I'd have hope for America with McClown and an Alaskan like Palin, but considering she considers Harry Potter a realistic indoctrination into witchcraft, her individualist shine only makes her better than the other three idiot losers (O'messiah, Bitch-den, and McClown) because she's actually pro-2A.

*sigh*

Don't mind me. I'm just expressing disappointment that the great MILF hope is as superstitious as your average Pakistani husband who lights his wife on fire for Allah.

"Who needs Mentos?"

But man, .50 for the win!

Never got beyond 400 yards with an M-4 on Delta Force. Well, I did hit someone at 600 with the SAW...

...

are these the same .22 air pellets that those replicas fire?

'cuz man... that, and a .44 Automag replica would be tits.

I shouldn't have clicked that link... I don't have $399 to spend...

M-4 - Barrel too short for its small bullets to develop the physics to penetrate a car door or kill a human. Gas tube just too short to ever work.

For real 5.56mm rifles (not submachine guns with power robbing stubs), folks who are in the business of killing motherfuckers are snarfing up ammo 65-grains and up, according to Paul Markel.

And you know, if HK didn't think we sucked, I'd be so there saying we need an HK417 (14 inches, .308.)

But screw that. DSA Arms has the beautiful OSW and a dozen other rifles in .308 that can ACTUALLY FOLD SO THEY CAN BE DEPLOYED INSIDE OF VEHICLES!

Collapsing tube stock my fat, pollack ass.

That's pretty sweet.

The "calculating flight time" element of OFP reminds me of one of the joys of the pre-Land Warrior Delta Force games (and Task Force Dagger) was the relative realism of the long range shooting. Granted, tagging someone with an M-4 at 450 yards/meters was stretching reality until it screamed for mercy, but with the M40, I appreciated that if I had to hit someone at 680 yards, I had to aim a certain number of body lengths OVER their heads to score a direct hit.

I can only imagine how much better if those scopes had actual sniper reticles. I think Task Force Dagger had adjusting the range on the precision scopes, but with the number of enemies on hand, it was just easier and better to use body lengths as a cue for how to adjust your aim.

The other joy of the first two DF games was leaving the carbine and the SAW on semi-auto and scoring fast multiple hits on a target.

More Willem Defoe unsung villain foo. (I know you guys probably aren't familiar with Joe Bob Briggs, I'm old) Once again "To Live and Die in L.A" and also "Streets of Fire".

-elbuscador

I effing despise TNT for getting all inane and serious and flushing away Monstervision and Joe Bob Briggs.

No, now we gotta see hand-wringing liberal cop dramas instead of stuff like They Live III: Island of the Alive, where Michael Moriarty uses a Russian gun given to him by a Cuban to save Florida from his mutant baby monster.
