  1. Yep, AK-47 or Glock. If they ask for caliber, say 9mm, which is what comes out of an AK-47 and a Glock
  2. Old timer's disease... should have said prosecution.
  3. Probably won't have to. They asked me if I owned any guns, then asked me what caliber, then kicked me out. BTW... the correct answer is 9mm
  4. I doubt that the defense would let you on the jury. They don't like gun owners. Ask me how I know that.
  5. The screen is great! Camera too.
  6. Yep, that's my only gripe, and it will get fixed. It's a very young OS.
  7. Fuel injection really is better. It improves a number of things. Strikers... not near as much.
  8. I have a Samsung Android now. Had an iPhone before that. The iPhone was probably more stable, but that's an Apple trademark. The Android will get there. I keep telling myself that, anyway.
  9. My M&P has aftermarket parts. It's almost as good as my old technology S&W in SA mode. Well... except for all the takeup.
  10. Fuel injection is easy, and works better (until the computer fails)
  11. I'm not all wiggy about "striker technology". I like striker guns mostly because they're light, and you maybe get a little better ergos with molded plastic.
  12. I've owned a Model 59 S&W since the '70's. I have no problem with SA/DA because I've had one for over 30 years. But, when it comes down to it now, I'll carry my M&P or my Glock. It really is pretty simple... don't mash the trigger, and it won't go bang.
  13. Looks like Enfield had the winning solution
  14. We actually used a bunch of vans for fuel storage after Katrina. They weren't on blocks. Had our own gasoline supply line using fuel trucks, but no on site storage. So, we used the vans as storage tanks, and siphoned the gas as needed.

    Mine loves Minimag hollow points
  16. I haven't read enough about it yet. It depends on how much damage gets done when it hits. It really is all about opening blood vessels. If the bullet tumbles, then the size of the cavity is going to be determined by the length of the bullet as well as the width. The physics is that velocity increases penetration, and so does bullet mass. The mass of the bullet is just one variable. It's why you can get similar penetration between a 9mm and a .45 ACP, when the ratio of bullet mass is 2:1.
  17. In 2002 and 2003, NATO conducted a series of tests with the intention of standardizing a PDW cartridge as a replacement for the 9x19mm Parabellum cartridge.[9] The tests compared the relative merits of the 5.7x28mm cartridge and the 4.6x30mm cartridge, which was created by Heckler & Koch as a competitor to the 5.7x28mm.[9] The NATO group subsequently recommended the 5.7x28mm cartridge, citing superior performance in testing, but the standardization process was indefinitely halted.[9] Haven't dug any deeper. Velocity isn't the only thing, but it's not a bad thing either.
  18. You been skimming this thread? I didn't make that statement because of the wiki article.
  19. It's like 105 bucks. You don't have to stop at the ticket window. You go straight to the inspection hut. Unless it's changed, they don't limit your time to 2 hours, but my ask you to stick to it if the place is packed.
  20. Basically what I was trying to say. You did a better job, 'cause I was pissed
  21. Let me start by saying that I have nothing against Mexican immigrants. I have found that a lot of them are hard working, family oriented folks. When it comes to family, we may even learn a thing or two. With that said, I am sick and tired of criminals of all types. We have too many of them. Mexico has always been a third world :poop:hole. We weren't covered up with them until recent years. Our tolerance for everything just keeps getting bigger, until we have turned into one huge vagina. When are we going to punish the criminals severely enough that it goes the other way? I don't care if they had a crappy childhood. And while I'm whining... when are we gonna start shooting the damn pirates? It's what they deserve.
  22. I would vote for that. I would even help. We're gonna need a lot more ammo.
  23. Underage thugs... maybe illiterate ones. The real solution to this problem is to teach the guard how to shoot.
