Automatic Hijack Thread

I would have been breaking the law too - not only have I never owned a gun but I have never even held a gun much less shot one. :smile:

Come and spend the weekend at my place and we'll fix that problem. Not only do I own an arsenal that would have a Third World dictator drooling with envy, but I have my own private shooting range to make lots of expensive noise! :biggrin:
 
My Dad gave my son a 22 that I used to shoot when I was a kid. He was 14 then & we'd take him to the range. I got into shooting skeet for a while. Pretty fun stuff. Son ended up shooting precision rifle in high school. Now that is one freaky sport. Putting ten shots through the same hole over & over again.

I probably should get that 22 out of the back of the closet & clean the thing maybe. Commish I'll bet you do spend some $$. Expensive hobby there.
 
More so since the WOT. :unhappy: That's why I am among those who want the shooting in the sandbox to stop so the ammo prices will go down.


Now that's an argument against the way I haven't heard before:shake:

I heard Michael Moore was going to make a movie with that theme :wink:
 
"Annapolis", the highly regarded documentary that lives up to the Hollywood standards of excellence.:wink:

And let's not leave out that inspiring and 100% true accounting of life in Naval Special Warfare, "Navy SEALs". :yllol:

So do two of my immediate neighbors. You cannot imagine what a 15 round fully automatic burst does to one's practice on his own private golf range when it first happens right in the middle of a backswing.
 
Not if it prevents that nasty "squiddy" odor.

:confused: Help me here. How can a Woop coming out of spending a week in a foxhole with nothing but handiwipes smell a three hot meals a day, clean sheet, twice a day hot shower palmolive smell of a USNA grad?:confused:
 
"How can a Woop coming out of spending a week in a foxhole with nothing but handiwipes smell a three hot meals a day, clean sheet, twice a day hot shower palmolive smell of a USNA grad?"

It's easy, they smell exactly like handiwipes.

And interestingly, I took my youngster on a week+ long camping trip where butt wipes (aka field showers) were the only viable option for keeping that fresh out of the shower feeling. They are surprisingly effective. My son, who commented with a curled lip and an air of disdain that the last time he used one of those things was when he was in diapers, refused to take advantage of this marvel of modern technology.

As his tent mate for a week I can tell you he had that dead sea mammal scent reminiscent of some of the bubble heads I've known from my younger days. I suppose he could have countered that I smelled just like a USNA grad.
 
No branch, but one of my best friends at the University of Arizona was a submariner. I've no idea where he was based out of because he told me stories about being everywhere, and at that time in my life I really wasn't paying attention to details like that. Perhaps New London, Connecticut; or do they only build subs there?
 
OK, I have always wanted to know how you can tell when blue cheese goes bad?

Seems like the right place to post this question.

It's the Sound of Freedom! :thumb:
 
Or Noise Pollution :rolleyes:

Nah. That's the guys with the ghetto boom-boxes-on-wheels.

If you're gonna jam music while in public, for Christ's sake play MUSIC. :mad:



ETA: Oh, and as for noise pollution....... that's what silencers are for. :thumb:

I am with you there Zap. Kids these days have no idea what "real music" is. Of course, my father said the same thing but he was wrong and I am right! :shake: :yllol: :biggrin:

Now you're taking!:wink:
 
I am a walking oxymoron when it comes to shooting. I have my own skeet range which mom is insisting that I move to the far corner of the farm. Love to shoot and is usually a form of entertainment when I have guests. Too cheap to shoot anything other than 9mm and .22 except for zeroing in before hunting season. However, a 15 round automatic burst from one of the neighbors drives me crazy.
