Of course not! They kill the ones that **** them.

Right. He's not a poodle.

Wall socket. Lester started it :-)

Oh no! Not the poor bunny rabbit too

And, don't forget poor Adam the dog. His main squeeze is probably going to jail.

Welcome back to the fold

Yep. A 60 second blast would normally do it. Note that this wasn't your basic Bark-off from TV. It does better than 130dbspl. 1. Frequency modulation. 24.5khz carrier modulated by a 1khz tone. The generator was something I designed for a broadcast application. I had a few of them lying around, so I just retuned it for the dog's ears. 2. The spectrum plot was from the generator. 3. High resolution FFT. 16 bit word length, 192kHz sampling rate, and 16,000 frequency bins. The sidebands are what you see with tone modulated FM, and that's what the dog heard. Of course, at that spl, he also heard intermodulation products because of mechanical overload in his ears. He also most likely heard a 1khz component because of the frequency response slope in his hearing, and the fact the his little ears were being driven into nonlinearity. I didn't set out to punish the dog, but he was for damn sure gonna shut up.

Or, it could turn into the greatest thread of all time. Religion, homosexuals, Obama, and Voldemort. Somebody may even mention a gun or two.

"I just reached down to pick up my ball, and the next thing I knew..."

The only time in my life that I've had to discharge a pistol in self defense was at a charging dog. I had a little time, so i just blew a hole in the ground about two feet in front of him. Not sure if it was the bang, or the dirt hitting him in the face, but he went the other direction. That was close to 30 years ago. The pistol was the one in my avatar.

If a reasonable person would be in fear for their life or serious bodily harm, then shoot. Applies to all.

I designed and built the thing, but you can buy similar. Google "Pain Field Generator". My source was actually FM, since that's what I had lying around. Generator, 100W/ch power amp, and the tweeter array. By the time I got to it (after almost a year), I was pissed off enough to use computers and my trusty table saw to kick his ass. The blaster puts out some serious SPL, and the output spectrum looks like this...

The dog has been gone for awhile. At least I haven't heard him. The Dog Blaster made it tolerable when he was still around. Shut him up every time. BTW... it also chased off everything that would cause them to bark.

I tried all of that with my neighbors. You know what I wound up having to do.

'bout time

It may not go the wrong way. Not sayin' that congress isn't packed plum full of idiots. Just saying that the bill makes sense.

Now, you're talkin'

Ruger is gonna wind up selling a ton of 1911's with pricing like that

OK... it's on now. Let me drag up some really gay shooting videos

He could have called us all sissies. Then, it would have been one of the greatest threads of all time.

Needs more ginger then. Not that much meat on your average cat.

Definately the owner. But I think the gun is pretty cool.

I normally use 20 round PMAGS on a rest. They don't hang down as low as the grip.

There's only one thing I've heard. So far, I haven't had a chance to check for myself. They say that because the steel doesn't expand quite as well as brass, it doesn't seal quite as well against the chamber wall. So, you develop a layer of powder residue on the chamber wall. No biggie as long as you're shooting steel. You MAY have a problem with brass casings sticking to the chamber wall after shooting a bunch of steel if you don't clean the chamber first.

Ah. I'm betting it greased up pretty good.
