OT If you're into machine guns.

New super accurate almost recoiless MG.

I once saw an advert made for the Rapier Missile system. It was so mater of fact as if it was plugging some new chemical treatment for your carpet or something. The guy on the voice over was explaining it as not a missile but a Hittile, because it was so accurate it only needee a small amount of explosive and fragmentation filler to bring down an aircraft. This complete with action footage of a warning of low level air attack with squaddies rotating this battery and the guy in a caravan guiding the missile into an aircraft engine and blowing it to pieces in a split screen with the actual from the ground image. The thing that worried me is where would they show this sort of thing? Presumably trade days at big air shows like Paris and Farnborough, but sures if we are flogging hes to other places then how can we be sure one day they will not be used against us? We did flog them to the Swiss, the nice folk from Jordon and some other nato counties.

In the US a few years ago, I accompanied some work colleagues for an evening at an indoor shooting range. One guy had this powerful rifle, with all sorts of anti-recoil technology, bouncing springs, liquid counterweights, what-have-you. From outside the range building, I could hear other rifles sounding as different types of crack, bang, etc. When this one was let off, there was a load 'Whoomph' sound, and all the other shooters would crane their necks round to see what was going on. The owner used it mainly to kill ground squirrels on his brother's land.

If you are into machine guns you need to take a long hard look at yourself and ask yourself 'why?'

[Davey]

Tell that to most of the male citizens of the USA. Many female ones, too.

[Tim W]

Yep, the USA is a deeply sick society.

[The Natural Philosopher]

as sick as ISIS?

[whisky-dave]

as sick as a parrot ?

Consider this:

Every time there is a gun massacre, the sale of guns goes up, for self-defence reasons.

Piers Morgan tried to reason with them, he got hounded out of the country. So we got him back!

Can't say I remember any incident where a passerby has saved lives by slotting a maniac gunman.

Not only returned here, but is on the telly again. Shirly, there must be better journalists, programme hosts than that lying shit.

[Ranger]

Nope, it's just interesting technology.

[Ranger]

Of course no one in Britain was ever burnt at the stake or was ever killed as a witch etc eh ?

[Davey]

Nor me. But it has probably happened, once, somewhere.....

And then there was the bloke who picked up his pistol from the side table to fire at an intruder and shot the end off his own c*ck. Ooops.

[harry]

We got over that sort of stuff.

We don't have a KKK either.

[Ranger]

Now list all those they burnt at the stake.

So did they with the witch trials.

But you have the BNP and UKIP instead.

They don't have football hooligans either.

He cocked it up.

The drying procedure is what counts.
