Yeah, Kevin Brittingham, formerly of AAC--who developed the Blackout--had a pretty convincing argument along those lines. Yes, you can hit a target much further out with a 5.56, but the energy is such that it isn't effective. He argues the Blackout is much more deadly at 300 yards than a 5.56 and beyond that neither is really good.

Yes, yes, of course you shouldn't try it. I'm just pointing out the principle is the same. When the bullet is too narrow, the pressure is reduced. Of course .

Yeah, not only is 9mm lower pressure, but it will generate even LESS pressure than in a 9mm Pistol because the bullet is too small to seal up in the barrel of a Fotay. You can shoot a 50bmg out a 12 guage shotgun, and the same thing happens...though the stakes are a lot higher in that situation. NEITHER is recommended, lol.

The cheapo BSA Tube style red dots work well too. I have run one on an AR for years and it has worked great. They are less than $50 or so I believe. Mine is 15 or so years old, so they look a little different now, but this is pretty much it. http://www.amazon.com/BSA-30mm-Red-Dot-Scope/product-reviews/B000N8MZOI/ref=dp_top_cm_cr_acr_txt?ie=UTF8&showViewpoints=1 . I don't think you would have any trouble on a 22.

Tube type, or reflex?

Previews seem to indicate that.

IIRC, isn't the cambrian a counter argument to those that say the fossil record is too spotty to be used as evidence AGAINST evolution? Hoping I don't have to go spend a day reading about it again. EDIT: Pre-Cambrian, with its examples of many soft-bodied specimens is what I am thinking of.

Wow...a lot to catch up on. A few thoughts. You must make her understand that adults make mistakes. The words of teachers and preachers should not be taken as Gospel...see what I did there? I was taught by a college professor that when you die, you should be taxed at 100% because it isn't fair that some should have inheritance while others don't. I pointed out that such a plan would kill motivation for many who want to leave a legacy for their children, and that it is human nature to want to leave something behind, whether a legacy of passed on knowledge or wealth. He responded that it was nonsense that people wanted to leave legacies, and that he didn't have any desire to. I asked him why he became a teacher then. The bell rang and I never got an answer. The reason there are so many liberals is because they don't question their school teachers, then they grow up to a media which manipulates facts to support flawed positions. The same would probably happen if the Right were in control of schools and the media, but they aren't. There is little to no proof of Darwin's theory of spontaneous evolution. There is plenty of proof for natural selection, which he fostered as well. But when they say "the missing link" they aren't talking about a half monkey-half man...they are talking about a half anything-half something else. Darwin said that evolution would be comprised of random mutations most of which would fail, while only a few succeed. We only find fossils of those that succeeded for very long periods of time. The fossil record should be full of failures...of one offs that had no cousins before or after...but we don't seem to find them. We don't find monkey's with gills, or lizards with 4 eyes. Also, his theory can't explain an eyeball. For the eyeball to exist, it would have had to function to give an advantage to its host, and be passed on and retained. That means that on one critter, there was no eyeball...then on its offspring BAM...an eyeball that works well enough to give advantage. The problem is the complexity of the eyeball...it has a lot of parts, even a poorly working one...if they don't all develope at the same time, you don't get an advantage. To explain the eye ball problem, the supporters say "well, just assume there was a light sensitive patch of skin, and it developed from there". You can't just assume the beginning. That is no different than religion. Same thing with the big bang theory. A giant ball comprised of all the matter in the universe exploded....ok...where did the giant ball of all the matter come from? They say, assume it was there from the beginning. Doh! I love science, and am a big believer and supporter of it. It MAY all turn out to be correct. But even if it is...how does it kill God? It may kill religion as we understand it...but I believe in a God that can do pretty much anything...even build a universe that works through proven scientific principles...possibly through evolution.

Hank was definitely closing in on it, but he may not have been if Walt were never in the picture. Remember, it all goes back to "the blue stuff". And all, thanks, I remember Walt shaking Jesse, but when Lizard first mentioned it, I took it he meant Walt deliberately moved her. He definitely stood by and let it happen, that was never in question. To us, there isn't much a difference, but to Walt there is. Though he is now moving beyond that. His realization at what he had done at the end of this week's episode is possibly the most regret we've seen from him. Also, Gomie at the vault door was priceless.

I am saddened after last night's show. I really liked that character, he was maybe my favorite. Lizard, I don't think he actually touched Jane at all. I may have to rewatch, but I don't think he did anything to her. Mike357, It couldn't end last season. Them just getting out after Gus would have been very weak and empty. As painful as it is to watch, this has to go full circle.

Yeah, I think Dave is a little off base on this one. They could have picked up Weaver in town, just like they could've Koresh. Both events were all about the DoJ putting on a show.

If the knife is capable of being opened manually, is it then legal to carry? This stuff can be a little cryptic. It so, front openers are right out, I assume.

You could also ask the brother of Lee Harvey's victim how effective a .22 LR is. The deadliest shooter on The Walking Dead is a chick, Andrea. Every show and movie I see these days features a 98lb girl whoopin' 250 lbs male ass with Gun Kata and Kung Fu. I just assume now if I speak to a girl she will use enziguri against me.

The opening scene of this week's episode was surreal. Tearing down the motorcycle, until only the skeleton remained.

I once called my girlfriend a bitch--not because I am a misogynist--but because I thought that word would hurt her, and she deserved to be hurt after what she had done. I suspect the OP chose the "N" word for the same reason. Yes, poor choices, but hardly cause for branding. Welcome back.

I wear one. If you wear a button up, it won't slow you down too much. It holds the gun very snugly. IWB is not an option for me because of my sitting position at work, so this is a good solution. The only problem is I need one for every day of the week, because I don't like wearing dirty cloths, especially undershirts, day after day. I carry an HK USP Compact 9mm in mine.

Yes, there is a shop that can do it in the Grove Center next to Oak Ridge High School. They did some work on a cowboy rig for me last year. Nice folks.

I used to have a Winchester 94 Trapper 44 Mag that I liked alot. Been looking for the 357 version for a long time, but very rarely are they spotted...think I have seen exactly one at a gun show in the last 10 years.

What is the app?

Baffle strikes? Shooting a 22 out of a 9mm can? Unless the can is made off center, I don't see how that is going to happen. Its a take apart can, just like a 22, so I don't see how the dirty part matters either. On my 22/45 shooting subs, the noise is mainly action working, so I don't think performance suffers that much, the can is maybe 2 inches longer than a dedicated 22 can, plus it works for 300 blackout as well. YMMV, of course.

It is impressive how the writers of the show have turned Skyler into the one who is disliked. She, aside from Jesse, is the only moral compass in Walt's life now. I am annoyed by her too. A lot of people (myself included) are siding with Walt, when he is clearly "The Bad Guy". He isn't even Walt anymore...he's Heisenberg. But I admit, as much as I like Hank, I don't want him to catch Walt. The thing about this most recent episode is that it was set up by the first episode of the season. In THAT episode, with the magnet, it had the same feeling of whimsy of the early episodes in the series where Walt and Jesse were up to nonsense with Badger and Skinnie Pete and they would succeed in spite of themselves. "Dead Freight", had that same feeling...even with the drama of the heist and the good samaritan arriving in his F-350. When the crew was celebrating at the end I had a smile on my face, like "they pulled it off!" Then the gut punch that was jaw dropping. Incredible.

Get a 9mm can. It will still be quiet on your 22, and not cost you more than your budget.. If you are going to wait 9 months on the stamp, make it count. I have a 9mm LRP can that I run on both. It is a K-Baffle design. Very happy with it. He is located in Andersonville.

Jonathan Banks as Mike is superb. He has that "dead eye" look down pat.

Wasn't in the system, they just verfied they had the envelope on a desk.

Algore got lots of money from the ChiComms IIRC. EDIT: corrected spelling of Algore.
