Hey, gun nuts!

This has been a good week for Canadian Gunnutz, a bill was introduced in parliament to disband our long gun registry. Licensing of the individual and the same restrictions on handguns stays in place(which is OK with me), but the registry of individual rifles and shotguns and the hassles involved dies shortly.

when is the final vote...it still scares me till its over

Oblamer wants to start one here in four southwestern states, he is using operation gunrunner as the reason.
 
Especially in the various iterations of M16/M4, with that gigantic recoil spring.


You ever want to tie into some WW2 .30-cal stuff, I will probably be in New England sometime next year, so I could haul a bit of the collection along . . . as long as I say I'm going to Vermont.
 
That's awesome. I love the order to pull back after the impact.
I kinda like the 'boing'.
Me, too. Like shooting a bb gun.

Love to. That would be fun! Whatcha got?

All but a Jap gun. Those old bolt guns will give your shoulder a workout. The semi-autos at least have some reciprocating motion the other way to take a bit of load off the shoulder.
 
I've seen B-52 arc lights up close, enough to literally take your breath away. Sweeping through the impact area afterward was like exploring a big black stinking moonscape 800 yards wide and a mile and a half long. A-10s were before my time.:)

Thats a shame, we used them all the time in Afghan and Iraq. Never saw any carpet bombing but I have seen a 2000lb JDAM go through the front door of a building and obliterate it without ever hearing the plane that droped it, it was kinda creepy.

Ever see a Marine regimental artillery fire mission? We fired thousands of these in Vietnam. Notice how all of the rounds are funneling down towards the same point of impact. Like the man says, somebody's getting seriously fucked up on the other end.

Yea arty like air support is a grunts best friend, I have called in some "fire for effect" nothing better than knowing help is a button push away.

I fired a Garand once. She did have a little punch to her, for sure.

Still the most aggravating weapon I've shouldered is the goddam 203. I never could get comfortable with that damn thing.

LMFAO.....people either love or hate shooting the 203 but everyone loves to have them on their team.

Oh, hell yeah. For a while, as a result of the kind of peculiar wizardry that occurs in the national guard, I was the 203 gunner for the mortar section. Word, hooah.

Yea I carried one for quite a while when I was a joe along with plenty of 249 action. We used smoke rounds to break up crowds from a distance...pop a yellow or green, put the pro mask on and the natives haul ass. I'm just glad outside of schools I never had to carry that fat pig of a 240.

I was 11C, but I did my share of training with the BangBangs. I liked carrying the 60mm better than the 240. Not that it was any less of a pia, but it was fun to think of what it could do.
