    Dry Firing

    Bro, They warn of excessive firing pin damage. Every 15,000 rounds or two years you should replace your firing pin anyway. The excessive damage is less in seriousness than live fire in the same volume. Replace all springs and parts that SMACK after 15,000 rounds. 1911 owners already know...

    Dry Firing

    There is absolutely no damage to a firearm from dry firing that comes close to the wear and tear of live fire. The specific damage that people speak of that is unique to dry firing is too minor to worry about. Dry firing is the single most important self training anyone can do. I cannot...

    Firing a mortar from the hip (file under stupid human tricks)

    Well you guys would hate SOF employment of the 60mm mortar. There are 18B's who can put HE on target, first round, with no base. And they sling Ilum on the fly just like this kid did. He is a stupid bastard for videoing it, and stupider for letting it get loose.

    Gun Laws in your state

    There is so much demand right now that prices have been artificially inflated. The gun industry is having a housing market like bubble right now. January brings SHOT Show and release of alot of .gov over runs. Thats when I predict things will settle down. I'd sell my 5.56 ammo now while its...

    SOFA Passes in Iraq

    Iraqis are immensely proud to be Iraqi. Iranian influence will go only as far as the money gets them. Shiites dont want to be a new Iran, they just want a Shiite Iraq. Most Iraqis day dream of the 1950's when Baghdad was the vacation destination of the ME. Thats what they always spoke of...

    SERE school (Survival, Escape, Resistance, Evasion)

    "Shocked that I was an O" ? Not at all Sir. My nav buddy, a Naval Aviator, shat directly into his pants while squatting with poor technique. He had the trousers all the way down to his ankles as big a target as possible. He was in shock. I asked him "where did you think that was gonna land?"

    SERE school (Survival, Escape, Resistance, Evasion)

    I learned alot at SERE. I think it's underestimated and over anticipated. The course has an excellent safety record and is near impossible to fail. Double win right there, two weeks of very little scrutiny and very low risk training. The field phase is Navy friendly and it has to be. I kept...

    Iranian SOF Operative captured in Iraq

    That's been my personal experience as well. Different tribes treat their mosques with varying degrees of reverence. Some places mosques were used as TOC's (Najaf, Kufa) and some were avoided by the enemy and used as refuge by civilians. It really varied based on needs at the time and the local...

    What if you become a battlefield pedestrian? A knife is NOT a weapon. Its a tool that may be used as a weapon. If out of ammo, the E-Tool is far superior for making brain drip.

    Not true since the 1930's You've seen too many Samurai movies. Justin Gingrich at Rangerknives.com is a great dude who makes inexpensive class A fixed blade knives. I deployed with him in 2004, also a solid operator. He builds his blades so that any E-4 Ranger can afford it. Can't beat that...
