Yeah, I guess most people just want to enjoy a good fight and not get beaten to death lol.

Even though I'm kind of aggressive I never get into fights, don't know why, nobody ever treats me in such a disrespectful way that I would start a fistfight. What I did today: went to the H.R Giger exhibition, cool stuff, they even showed a short film showing Giger making Alien art/props and the derelict ship of Alien 1.

My bunnies too are completely fearless. I have a cat and even though he is 4 times bigger he is totally terrified of my little bunnies, they chase him around aggressively, chew his tail and do not behave like prey animals at all. They also bite (gently) and punch my hand when I'm not careful picking them up.

I've been wishing all day long I had 6 grands of spare money. A friend of a friend who owns a scrapyard sells some pretty cool stuff every once in a while, now hes a Caterpillar bulldozer (one of the REALLY big ones, I think its a 30 or 40 ton dozer) for 6 grands. It might not be the newest model and it shows some cosmetic wear and age but its in a very good shape. I've always been a sucker for big construction machines. Damn.

Today I had a WTF moment at the shooting range. I was trying out reloads in a couple of milsurp rifles when a hunter next to me decided to shoot his ultra expensive scoped rifle (Steyr Mannlicher pro hunter rifle, .270WIn, about 2200 bucks, Swarovski scope, another 2 grands) to test if the rifle is sighted in correctly for the coming hunting season. Later after a couple of rounds we walked to the 100m targets and I was pissed because my groups weren't that great, most were 3'' (with iron sights). Out of curiosity I looked at the target of the hunter, he shoot a 10'' pattern. Not a group, a pattern. With his scoped rifle. And that was under perfect conditions, hes not going to have a chair and a perfect rifle rest out in the woods. The funny thing is he appeared to be happy with the result, he turned around and left with a smile. That rifle and scope combo was excellent and he should have shot sub-1-inch groups at 100, easily. I don't even know how you can fail so hard with a scoped rifle, I seriously couldn't shoot that bad if I wanted to or if I shot that rifle from my freaking hip while having an epileptic seizure. I feel sorry for the animals hes going to shoot, I'm sure he'll seriously maim them but there is no way that guy makes a clean killing shot at anything other than close ranges. Its the duty of a responsible hunter to be able to take game cleanly and without suffering, I have no respect for deranged idiots like that. Anyway, decided to make a random pic of the shooting range, because....I don't know why. .

Why do they look so disgusted? Did a bird poop into their soup? Are they sick and vomited into their cups? Or maybe they lost all their food in a bet in the local tavern and now they have to eat dirt or something....

Same here.

Pretty cool, I've always thought that tanks with quick machine cannons are way more efficient in urban warfare than full sized battle tanks with heir huge and slow main cannon. Whats the caliber? 35, 30mm or 20mm? Reminds me of a scaled down ground-to-ground version of the German Gepard tank:

Sorry Wals, you are wrong, you definitely want a light crisp trigger, and you do NOT want to brace yourself for the recoil. The heavier a trigger is the more you move the gun with your finger when pulling the trigger, and any movement just before the shot breaks results in extreme inaccuracy. Try it out. Get a handgun with a very heavy trigger pull, c0ck it (make sure the magazine is empty and there is no round in the chamber), point it in a safe direction, aim at a random object (ideally as wide as the front sight) and slowly pull the trigger. You'll notice that your grip tightens just before the shot breaks and the entire gun moves, this guarantees you to miss even at moderate ranges. A heavy trigger is bad in every aspect, all target guns and most quality firearms have adjustable triggers. My precision rifle has a trigger pull of less than a half pound. You can shoot accurately with heavy triggers but it takes a LOT of practice, it will always be uncomfortable and you will never be as accurate as with a gun that has a smooth crisp light trigger. Thats why double action revolvers are usually shot with manually c0cking the hammer after each shot even though you could fire them just pulling the trigger without even touching the hammer. But c0cking the hammer manually makes the trigger a lot lighter. Self defence guns usually have a heavier trigger, accuracy does not play such a big role in SD situations and the heavy trigger prevents the shooter from firing the gun accidentally or prematurely. Anticipation for recoil or bracing yourself for the recoil is the worst thing you can do, the shot needs to surprise you (a little bit), you depress the trigger until the shot breaks, you do not jerk the trigger and anticipate the shot. What happens when you anticipate recoil? You'll lose your relaxed stance, you will tighten your muscles and most people will close their eyes just before the shot breaks. I guarantee you you're not going to hit ANYTHING if you anticipate the shot/recoil. Thats actual the hardest thing for a beginner to learn, not to anticipate the recoil, not to flinch, the shooter has to be completely relaxed till the bullet has left the barrel. Ah, my time in the military, there I learned how to properly clean toilets, how to put on my entire winter gear in 60 seconds, how to make my bed with a ruler, how to unload and refill my entire locker in 5 minutes, how to parade while being asleep...... I don't remember them teaching me how to shoot a rifle accurately though. But thats not important for cannon fodder, just pull the trigger and hope for the best till a sniper spots you and empties your skull. The STG77 was cool though, really nice gun.

I recommend having a stiff drink and/or getting laid to crush that guilt. I can't! I see the countless faces of innocent baby ants I killed everywhere every day! Make them go away! Pleeease, god!

I had giant ants in my roof. I had to poison them all, worked like a charm but I still feel guilty over that cruel insect genocide.

I think this is exactly what you're looking for: http://www.outdoorpodcast.com/uploads/Beginners_Guide_to_Buying_Firearms_eBook.pdf If you have any questions about firearms just ask me.

I don't want to sound harsh, but you really have to visit a gun range (many gun ranges have loan weapons) and gather first hand experience and raw data if you are interested in that matter. Also get a good instructor to teach you the basics. Forget using discovery channel or games to gather information about firearms and shooting, they all should be sued for the misinformation they're spreading about that topic every day.

The best gun is the gun you are most comfortable with, don't ever let others tell you what the ''best gun'' is. Even a very reliable accurate weapon platform that seems to be awesome in theory might ergonomically suck for you, and you can only find out if you like the ergonomics of a specific gun by touching, handling and shooting it. There is no way around test-shooting a firearm before buying it.(unless its a collectors piece and you want it to put it in your collection) But first of all you have to determine the purpose of the weapon.- Self protection? Starting a WW2 collection? Long range precision shooting? There is no gun that can do all the things above. By the way, when reading gun magazines and gun reviews take everything they say with a grain of salt, they're not independent reviewers, pretty much all of them are paid which explains why they usually only praise the stuff they're reviewing like its the best thing ever. Its like the current situation in video games magazine business.

Your grandfather was a wise man! I too love washing with pure gasoline, forget all those weak laundry detergents, when I fill my washing machine with high octane racing fuel even the dirtiest colored laundry comes out shining white. As a bonus the intensive pleasant smell repels bugs, cures stuffed noses and makes me feel reeeally relaxed all day long.

Hey, if the stuff is liquid it can be used for cleaning, right?

Brought my posessed rifle to the gunsmith, we talked about the possible problems that might cause it to shoot so much to the left but he insisted on shooting it first with various ammo before making any assumptions and/or modifications. I told him not to shoot the gun at extreme ranges or he might shoot himself in the back with the projectile flying a full circle. We had a good laugh. That gunsmith is a cool guy, he totally looks and acts like a highly talented Swirfneblin / deep gnome smith or machinist. Even his repair shop looks like its from an RPG game. I almost wanted to ask him if he offers any steam powered golems with repeating crossbows.

How reliable is it? I've heard good and bad reviews about it, some say the first version had many reliability issues and they fixed in the 2.0 version, others say nothings changed... Its a nifty gun, thats for sure, I like the carbine though.

So what you're basically telling me is that using the blood and guts of my fallen enemies as lube is not the proper way of maintaining my boomsticks?

The double barrel fintlock pistols are badass, now I want one!

Oby, you can see from miles away that those are soooo fake. Its not just the size, its the unnatural awful balloon-like shape implants have. Thats a good MOLLE vest. I have one like that myself, in black.
