Where is everyone? I mean, usually my posts kill a thread, not a forum. Last post here was my own a few days ago. Smith, Syme, any comments? Anyone else?
New threads, new posts, anything? Must I resort to more drunken posts to increase activity? Or have I missed something:

Hello, is there anybody in there?
brb I think I'm going to smoke some pot and then watch that video.
Pot? Never tried it, and can't if I want to see my retirement plan. But I am debating making another:Quote:

Well I'm not a pothead or anything but I called in to work, it's raining, and I just happen to have a doobie put aside for a special occasion. Tonight seems like a special occasion.
I think I'll drink beer though and use the can as a makeshift smoking accessory.
Sheeiit, gotta throw the truck in auto 4WD now and make a b-double-e-double-r-u-n.Quote:

Why would you make a beer run in 4wd?
all you need is a ten and a fiver a car and a key and an able driver
beer run
People who get designated drivers are lesser people. (srs)
I was the designated driver a few times when my friends went to bars when I was under 21.... funny thing was I was almost certainly more fucked up than them on random drugs and was in no position to drive, but I was forced as I had not drank those nights.Quote:

Hahahah FutureWeapons.... "This is the .308, it is the standard round for the AK-47!" And he talks about how "the old-style" sniper rifles were single-shot bolt actions but the Barrett is different! And makes a big deal out of it's muzzle velocity.
Bowzer, do you mean they're more practical in terms of rifle weight, or more ballistically efficient, or what?
EDIT: Also, .338 RUM seems like a kind of random choice... it's a bear/moose/elk cartridge and it's mainly available in hunting rifles. I guess you can shoot your boss with a .338 RUM hunting rifle just as easily as with some other rifle, but any reason you chose it as an example of a good anti-personnel sniping round, instead of .338 Lapua or something like that?
Well I mean it would be nice as an anti-boss rifle though. Hitting someone with a .50 would be pretty neat to watch as well.Quote:

EDIT: And fm, I'm around. I liked your thread about 20th century American military rifles, I just haven't gotten around to posting in here much recently. I think I might put up a corresponding thread about 19th-century American military rifles to go with yours.
Please. A .50 will take your torso off.Quote:

I saw a sweet ass .338 Lupa in my latest American Rifleman mag. It was a mag fed bolt action made by Barret for the govt.

Yes, it is.Quote:

Also, I've shared the story of inadvertently firing a http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ZPU-4 back then.
And once you get commissioned, call it fragging, not shooting your boss. UCMJ likes it better that way. :D
EDIT: Unless (EGADS!) you are going Guard. Then just frag yourself for being an officer and still having a civilian boss.
I'm around, I just haven't had much to post about lately.
That, and I don't know anything about service rifles, so I was kinda meh about the other thread.
Good read, though.
Yeah I know and sadly ive met more officers that I would rather frag than follow.Quote:
