Revolver != Semi automatic. Revolvers work differently and the firing pin does not move from its spacing.

Continually hitting the firing pin with the hammer when there is no resistance (ie from a primer or snap cap) can knock the firing pin out of its proper spacing. I have been told this does not apply to striker fired weapons, but have none and therefore have not looked further into the issue.

Im not so sure this is a good idea. I dont like the idea of humans messing around with weather. Disrupting a hurricane and manipulating one of the key ways that the Earth balances its global energy budget just sounds like a recipe for disaster.

Its interesting that the Firearms forum DOES count. Some insight into what the mods/aviators find important.

What is the purpose of this exercise?

Maybe because even exMids from ROTC and USNA have to take it.

For what it's worth our skipper (a SWO) mentioned that sending such a letter was still common practice in the Navy. He didn't specify that it was common practice for the SWO community, and thus it is my impression that this is such a common practice in the SWO community that he thought it was...

Im not sure what he means by this. If he is an FFL, which from the sound of it he must be or he is in serious violation of the law, as soon as he sells the gun to you it has been legally transferred into your name. The only thing I can thing of is that you might be able to return it if it is...

http://www.theboxotruth.com/docs/bot2.htm Page 2 has the information pertinent to your post.

Either/or. I would love to go and live somewhere else for a while sometime in the future, and by somewhere else I dont mean on a US base working for the US. I would like to do an exchange and see how other countries do things. I would probably try to go to Australia if I had a choice in the...

Is that something that you need to work out with the detailer when it comes time to start looking at shore tours? Do you know if your buddy spent his full 3 or so year shore tour down there or was it a shorter time? Also how does this affect advancement? Ive heard that some shore tours can...

Because the 2nd Amendment doesn't say anything about hunting.

Last year Wolf Creek in S. Colorado was giving 50% off for Military. I'm pretty sure that is still in effect.

Exactly

What does OCS do? Or do they ever wear SDBs? Regardless I have never seen an OC without anchors.

I found [the] part interesting [that referred to Joint Strike Fighter as belonging to the Air Force]: Not only because almost by definition the JOINT strike fighter doesn't only belong to the Air Force, but because if it does work out that way what are we going to do with our C and A+...

After reading that, I kinda feel like I should be bidding but not going over.

I think by bringing up restrictions on other materials (whether explosives, medications, fertilizer) we expand the discussion to what nittany03 briefly mentioned. It raises the question, should the government be in the business of punishing people for what they havent done? For instances there...

In a situation where an aircraft is over-G'd and has to be put on a stick, do they classify that as a Class A Mishap? The aircraft isn't technically destroyed, but if its not safe to fly I would imagine it wouldn't matter if the plane is still in one piece or several.

Might also want to ask 'do you hate that typical day if you aren't flying?' The answer might help considering the impression you got from baseops.net

I always thought a real aviators watch should resemble a real aviator?

No. Terror Alert Level Raised. Big Brother suspects Big Ben. Big Ben currently under 24 surveillance.

Haven't read Freakonomics, I've been told I should. The arguments above were 'original' in that I didn't take them from anyone, I formulated them as I was making my last post before heading out to the shooting range. The only way to calm down after the travesty that was the Texas / Tech game...

Military or Civilian (commercial or Cargo)?

Wurstfest is going to melt faces.

So have garage door openers, cell phones, and pagers. Should we outlaw them? Cell phones are reportedly being 'linked' to cancer, some say that cell phone use at gas pumps can lead to explosions, drivers using cell phones are supposedly just as impaired as drunk drivers. Kids drown in...

I dont understand why we propose to ban guns (.50 Cal) that have been used in crimes maybe once or twice. I can think of only one crime which a Barrett .50 cal was used and it was never shot during the crime, it was simply present in situation. (Anyone remember the guy who got pissed at his...

I bought a skype handset since my last post in this thread. For 60 dollars a year I get a phone number that can be called from a regular phone and can call unlimited to anyone in the US regardless of where I am. The handset was about $100. I like it a lot so far.

About 3 years late on that don't you think?

I agree with Pugs OP. While Cooper can make whatever campaign contributions he wants, it is likely that endorsing Obama is counterproductive to his business. Maybe his personal beliefs about what ever it is that encouraged him to vote for Obama out weigh the risk his business takes if Obama is...

You are referring to limitations for hunting purposes only correct? Because most states do NOT have 5 rd limitations for semi-automatic rifles. CA I think does, and maybe Illinois, but the majority of states do not.

Some proposed bills have singled out thumbhole stocks but most have not. I think in California they got wise and started including thumbhole stocks in their legislation. The original Clinton Gun Ban did not consider thumbhole to be a feature of an Assault Weapon.

No, but he has advocated policy VERY close to that. He has mentioned a form of nationalized health care, his party generally accepts the supreme courts decision about imminent domain (the supreme court CAN be wrong) and although I dont know where he stands party line is the best way to...

/threadjack of current /threadjack How was the military times poll conducted? Thats mostly rhetorical because I doubt anyone actually knows. I ask it because if it wasnt collected scientifically it means absolutely nothing. Kind of like the poll in this thread, not that its not interesting...

No... I would think he would be wearing a white hood. I dont trust racists that wear black robes.

As in feed problems, or the mags wont physically fit into the receiver.

So I ran across this picture while preparing for a speech I have to give for my speech class... http://www.piersystem.com/posted/425/050624_C_9767K_072.77742.jpg Is it just me or do those wings look silver? Is there a warfare device or qual that I dont know about that is silver but the same...

I originally was going to get the P2000SK, but it was just too small for my hand. My pinkey didnt fit on the grip. In the end Im glad I went with the full size.

I didnt say I dont have one... I just dont carry it. I like having 13 rounds to put down range... you know, just in case.

USNA is supposed to find out around 19 NOV. I know its a different process but I imagine its going to be somewhere around there.

I trust my life to my P2000 every day. Its been my carry weapon for almost 4 years.

usually, yes I ask before I buy. And like I said I looked into them and did a little research. The one thing I found was that they were turning over fast so I figured if I ended up not liking it I could get rid of it easily. was able to get them both for 900 a piece, plus tax. Expensive but...

I just picked one of these up. Read good things about it on the web, got a good deal on it, (we actually bought 2). Havent had a chance to shoot it yet, but just wondering if anyone has any input on these guns? Do you like them? Find anything that I should know about it?

I just picked up a GSG-5, thinking about turning it into an SBR. I think I have to fill out a Form 4 for that. Any gouge on it? I have generally avoided Title II and III weapons because of the hassle, but I think it would be nice to have this as an SBR.

I just want to know how you do that... I mean its not impossible, but its not horribly easy. It takes special effort to be that dumb.

TAMU grads only get to keep 13xx designators if A&M beats Texas this year. Things look good for you.

... or rep.

I got this off wikipedia and just wanted to run it by some folks who have taken the oath several times. It the following the full and accurate text of the oath of office of Naval Officers? I, [name], do solemnly swear, (or affirm,) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United...

We were still having people get accepted to Advanced Standing in May of 2006. However I will say that aside from the folks that got picked up at that time, I haven't seen anyone else get picked up.

You have to be either advanced standing or schollarship to commission (98% positive on this). We have been told that if you dont pick up advanced standing or schollarship by your Junior Year they dont allow you to continue with the program. So you wont graduate as a College Programer, you...
