I know alot about guns and 5.0 Mustangs.
I like to learn alot about WWII history, and Ive been learning alot about that lately.

Anon: I actually found out that the M1 Thompson actually did have an aperture sight instead of a rear sight today. I thought aperture's weren't used in WWII, but I was wrong. I also love to read about Vietnam and the weapons of the era.
Mr E, I'd LOVE to talk with you about Swamp Thing one day. I don't know anything, but I'd love to learn more. The only comic I've ever read with Swamp Thing in it was John Constantine's 40th Birthday where he showed up and made one of John's friend's pot plants sprout like a fern.
Also: It needn't be only nerdfare. Just anything you geek out over. Except religion or politics. Let's keep AI in AI.
Aperture sights were pretty much standard in WWII for the US. I think the only rifle w/o a rear aperture sight was the M1903 Springfield. I have an M1 Carbine, and it has the aperture on it. And Im getting an M1 Garand soon. It has them too. Id love to get a Thompson. But they are really expensive, and to get one you have to get it registered as a short barreled rifle.
The '03A3 has an aperture.
As for knowing too much, I feel as though that is impossible. That said, I know a fair bit about firearms, military history, military uniforms and equipment from the 20th Century, and other related topics. On the more nerdy side, I suppose I know a little about the Xena series, though I never watched its forerunner, Hercules. Gabrielle alone was reason enough to watch every episode and save the best. I try to learn something about everything, researching old video game systems has been my most recent time-wasting activity.
Can you explain how Terminator makes sense? For instance if John Connor sent Kyle Reese back in time, how is Kyle Reese his dad?
Also if they built skynet out of the Terminator's arm from T2, then how was the Terminator even built?
Don't get me wrong I love Terminator but it just seems to have plothole unless it was otherwise explained in something I hadn't watched, or I didn't watch well enough.
In the original timeline (The first time skynet attacked and such, before any time displacement was made) John Connor arose through coincidence. He wasn't predestined, he just happened to rally man. When they won the war (smashed skynets mainframe) and found that they had sent a T-800 back in time, he sent someone from his personal guard who happened to be Kyle Reese. I'd imagine the timeline we know as the first Terminator movie was a few timelines in, after the paradox had been firmly established.
Again, the terminator being sent back in time actually would've sped up skynets approach in the event it couldn't have killed sarah connor, which is why in the current tv show storyline and the book series (which was infinitely better than the third movie and tv show) they send terminators back to establish skynet and only kill the connors if they get the opportunity.Also if they built skynet out of the Terminator's arm from T2, then how was the Terminator even built?
Well in the movies it just sort of introduces the notion that the universe of the Terminators is built inherently on a paradox, and never does a very good example of explaining the alternate timeline theory until the tv show where Derek Reese doesn't remember events from the future that his girlfriend who came back later does.Don't get me wrong I love Terminator but it just seems to have plothole unless it was otherwise explained in something I hadn't watched, or I didn't watch well enough.
