skidkid, you'd get points for that if I could give em to you. Awesome!

I'd venture to say there is, considering how many people are on welfare and how many peopel should not be on it in the first place. There is money to be saved everywhere though. Too much money going to ridiculous causes and things.

My next 1911 will be the Operator model. That thing is sexual chocolate. I have a P226 9mm. My first pistol. Love it. I will NEVER get rid of it.

I've got no problem with that. Welfare breeds poverty. A hard lesson many never learn.

I think Whiting guys are Lockheed... I know ours are.

Oh I know what you were getting at, no worries. You're right, guns weren't mysterious then. They were a fact of life.

A libertarian is a classical liberal. Yes, liberal was NOT leftist years ago. Jefferson would be called a liberal. Libertarians are what Republicans should be, but have moved away from. Small government, personal freedom, etc etc etc. I'm libertarian at heart, but, well, they have no hope of...

I can't remember the thread it goes back to, but someone was over-using the term and everyone got real tired of it real quick.

Exactly, no reacharound from the Dems. Hey, if you're gonna take it, it might as well be pleasant....

Holy crap, it wouldn't let you spell Manas$as$

You can do that in most free states provided you have the land. The further your neighbors, the more freedom you have :)

I'm going to shoot more Ranger in it (at least 100 rounds). If I don't get another hiccup, it may take place of my SIG. The only jam my SIG ever had was due to my friend limp wristing it.

No, they'd just be committing political suicide. While it'd be popular in MA, other states have high populations of gun owners.

However, hunting and the 2nd ammendment have nothing to do with each other. I hate when anti-gunners do that. They don't understand, or they do and are trying to be clever.

I shot 50 rounds of Winchester Ranger-T 230gr JHP through it. I had one jam with that ammo. Looking at the jam, I do not think it was the ammo, I think it was the ball ammo I used before, which was very dirty. I did not have a repeat hiccup after I cleared it. I'm going to put 50 more rounds of...

Shoot, we have at least one P-3 bubba here in T-45s.

Yeah, it's an extremely archaic design compared to more modern pistols, however, it was built nearly 100 years ago and it does work and continues to work. I too hate the breakdown, but hey, it's fun to shoot.

Except, you know, for those at NASP for NFO training....

I think they're using it as a descriptor comparing it to all the tweeked 1911s around. Look around at 1911s today... it's hard to find one that isn't Gucci. It just has a bare-bones setup, nothing too fancy. Fairly standard sights, no beavertailing or extended safeties or this and that. It's not...

Finally got to shoot my Springfield Armory Mil-Spec 1911. What a beauty this thing is. It's a BRICK, so it handles the .45ACP ammo very nicely. It is easier to shoot than my Glock 23 .40S&W. It is very accurate, and when shooting steel, the sound of 230gr of lead slapping the steel plate is SO...

Bad people aren't bad... they're misunderstood. Inanimate objects are obviously responsible for driving people to do bad things. Guarantee you the numbers of people killed from small arms include terrorists, enemies of freedom, oppressors, etc. I also guarantee you they're being smart about...

That's the thing with the T-6 though. It's almost a joke of a glass cockpit. A T-6 pilot should have a similar scan as a T-34 pilot. T-6 screens are single gauges for the most part, they aren't MFD style like the T-45 or anything else.

Yup. Government should not be the first answer. This is common sense. WHY would you even think of going into the goo in an unfamiliar aircraft? NFOD?

Yes and no. Absolutely yes on the fact that gun control is ultimately about control. Sure, Susie Soccer Mom may be scared of an inanimate object, but in the end, the governments institute it for control, whether that is the intended result or not. No because the quote about Hitler and gun...

This is where you're only half-right. The UN has been actively trying to work with gun control advocates in the United States for some sort of oversight on gun control in America. It's utter bullsh!t is what it is. The UN can go fvck themselves. Seriously, what a retarded statement. What...

Actually, detonating a nuke in the ionosphere would fvck some **** up, AND make a happy radiation cloud.

MFDs here. Not color, but much better than steam gauges.

It's called Electro Magnetic Pulse. I'm sure you've seen it in movies, where it's much fictionalized, but a powerful enough one will knock out unshielded electronics.

Well, vacuum and electrical systems have been around for some time, and military aircraft keep being designed electrical... they must know something.

Uh, that's why it's fvcking stupid to just get in an unfamiliar aircraft and fly IMC. Do that, and you're asking for a mishap.

Electric. Do any military aircraft have vacuum systems?

A ball doesn't require electricity...

And you beat the paramedics by a good 30 minutes. Ron White anyone?

While I don't fly a fleet aircraft, I will say that the T-6 does not have MFDs and that is something a T-6 person will NOT be used to. Having EVERYTHING on one screen is actually overwhelming at first. It's a simple matter of training your eyes at what to look at though. ONce you get used to it...

I don't doubt that one bit. How great is that threat though, of a tank giving you effective return fire? I did not know that. That's pretty cool.

Learning the rate of change and such associated with glass cockpit and digital readouts is tough. In a climb, I STILL use my ADI output for altitude, which has a digital altitude pointer that moves like the old steam gauge. It's just easier.

I'd hate to see the mince-meat that 30mm would make of another aircraft... or maybe I WOULD like to see that. It'd be pretty bad ass :) Ever see this picture? Tank vs Helicopter. Tank won.

You can fit something that large out of your ass? Damn man.... :icon_tong

Cause it can move sideways and backwards? Just a guess. I'm sure Squeeze can answer that.

The way it was explained to me was they were privately owned, either by person or corporation, and get leased to Eglin for Agressor type training.

Then that's new. Mind you, I haven't been to DTS in over a year.

There is a white Mi-24 and a white Mi-8 at Destin-Ft Walton Beach. I think the Mi-8 is called Vodka 1 :)

That game sucked, it was done piss-poor. Try out X-Wing Alliance for what X-Wing vs TIE Fighter SHOULD have been.

Damn fvcking right, can I get an amen? AMEN!!! (X-Wing > TIE Fighter)

Overrated, but to each his own. I just can't bring myself to listen to a band that's in love with Soviet red stars and Che Gueverra. You may think the symbology is dead, but it's not. Oh, and the fact that the lead singer is a no-talent hack. YELLING IS NOT SINGING. (I do laugh when I see...

X-Wing and it's opposite, TIE Fighter, were two of the best games ever made for computers, ever. Anyone who says otherwise, is a liar.

Cadet or newly minted 2nd LT?

As awesome as Reagan was to the military, historically, BOTH parties have fvcked the military. Republicans will just seem to treat us better.

Mmm no, I was thinking that at first too, but I think maybe Mongomery Gentry?
