If I wanted to get all my music on physical copies I'd have to import some really rare stuff so I rather download it over Amazon. But I got all Nine Inch Nails songs on physical copies. And its wonderful.

Its not like I'm inserting a great sword into my ear channel and stabbing my eardrum like an angry ogre, and if it doesn't hurt it can't be bad. Like I said, my docs cleaning procedure is far more painful. My sense of hearing is by far my best sense but to keep it that way my ear channels needs to be cleaned every now and then.

Physical copy?

I don't know, the last ear cleaning procedure my Doc gave me hurt like crazy and my ears felt sore for days, it felt like my ear drums would give way to that 1000 bar supersonic boiling water jet at any moment. My cleaning technique is far gentler. And a few extra holes wouldn't scare me, as long as my ear canal isn't blocked its all good, all the really important stuff starts to happen at and past the eardrum anyway.

Love it. Would be a great intro for a dark sci-fi film.

Funny, watching YT videos of US soldiers engaging insurgents in the sandbox I see those M4's jam once in a while. Same with the SAW and much to my surprise the M14 DMR's.

#My left ear was completely blocked with wax once again and there is no Doc available to clean my ear on Sundays. Q-tips don't help. So I took a pair of small stainless steel pincers and cut them in half, took one piece, bent the end to a 80° angle, rounded all the sharp metal edges with my files and voilà! Got myself an ear cleaning tool. Works like a charm. Gods help those who help themselves.

What if a muscular busty woman wears a tank top?

The Enfield Magazine is not detachable. Well it is, but only for cleaning purposes. Its very hard to remove it because its a very tight fit, the release button is in the trigger guard and awkward to operate, soldiers didn't get a second one. Enfield mags were fed with stripper clips only. Let an M1 drop on the operating lever that sticks out on the right side and see what happens. It renders the bolt shut and presto! - the gun is inoperable. Let an AR-15 drop onto its barrel and see what happens. The barrel bends and the gun is inoperable. Don't drop any weapon. Its a myth that I've seen happening in three of my friends gun. They're super prone to jamming even with perfect maintenance, under perfect conditions with ideal lubrication and frequent cleaning.

Why is it perfectly fine for busty women to wear a tank top but if muscular men wear wifebeater / tank tops they're instantly labeled as jerks, douchebags or narcissists even when they wear it for comforts sake in hot weather? Story of my life.

Lots of gardening that involved digging, cutting, lifting, scraping, sawing and pinching a nerve in my back...... Also today I decided to start a new hobby - Spear throwing. Sadly I suck at shooting bows, shooting modern crossbows is boring, axe and knife throwing is just not really that interesting. I've always been really impressed by the Greeks and their spear throwing skills. I've already got the strength and determination, now I'm going to buy a book to learn the right technique. Oh, and I'm not talking about throwing fiber glass spears as far as I can like they do on the Olympics, I'm talking about accurately throwing wooden spears with metal heads at targets.

Be careful with the coughing, my aunt broke a rip when during a coughing attack.

IMO efficiency means having an optical sight and 20 shots without having to reload, with a muzzle brake and very little recoil. The weight is also not a drawback because the weapon could be used as SAW with the integral bipod and full-auto mode. Thats a lot of pros there. Then again the STG44 beats em all in everything but range. Also don't forget the awesomeness in shape of the SVT-40:

I agree with everything MC wrote, in fact I was about to write a very similar post. Except one little thing_ The STG44 and the FG42 were better.

Gah, keep both eyes open when aiming, dammit! Shes nice though, but I guess I'd have to teach her how to aim correctly.

I want to be those guns. Yes, unload my magazine baby, yeaha!

Modern plastics can be much more robust than brass cases, they can be made even more robust than steel! And you don't have to worry about oxidation of the cases, you can store them under less than ideal conditions (high humidity) and it does not eat away the case material. The only thing that would worry me is plastic cases melting away and cooking off in hot chambers, not only would the case rupture it would also send escaping gas straight into the action possibly injuring the shooter. The cases are made of high temp plastics though, the same material that used in modern endurance racing cars in and all around engines and exhaust pipes. I've heard they can withstand 500 Celsius. That boat has sailed since the US started to use anti material rifles with incendiary and explosive rounds against attackers and uses hollow point SMK's in their sniper rifles. Also if the enemy isn't part of the Geneva convention it becomes a moot point... Hundreds of M4's get their shot out barrels replaced each day. Use them up and then phase in the new rifles. Smoothbore barrels are a LOT easier to produce and have far more barrel life so its a win-win situation. Also military vehicles phase out and get scrapped every day, I wouldn't worry about a bunch of rifle barrels. If China ever plans to expand its territory we're all in deep sheet. Better have it and not need it than to need it and not have it. Thats especially true with all military inventions.

Man, I think I'm in love.

My answer to this stupid movie ''God is not dead'':

Oh, thats what you mean. For me ''easy to maintain'' means removing the dirt and applying oil to the gun, a kind of carefree way of maintaining the gun, not easy to maintain means having to add a certain amount of specialized lubricant, carefully removing all the dirt from the gas that has been blown into chamber.....and all that. I wasn't talking about how easy it is to field-strip the gun for maintenance. Pretty much all military rifles are ultra easy to field-strip and maintain, the AK, AR, M14 and FN-FAL can be field-stripped for cleaning in a couple of seconds. And the AR better is easy to field-strip, it needs cleaning and lubrication so frequently. Bummer, it looks so promising. I hope they can work out whatever troubles the gun. They're really going with the AEK instead which is already a pretty old design? Thats surprising. By the way, I still don't get why the western militaries haven't switched to smoothbore rifles shooting plastic-encased flechette. There is so many reasons to go with that new weapon system, yet we're still buying conventional guns.

Read my previous post, the AR is extremely sensitive to dirt and requires constant lubrication with the right lubricant and amount. The AR is NOT easy to maintain. Even under perfect shooting range conditions most ARs frequently jam. Barrel life has nothing to do with the gun, barrel life depends on the steel used and the ammo fired (hardness of the bullet jacket, pressure and design of the powder. I could reload you really bad ammo that would effectively cut your barrel life in half). If both are of good quality you're going to get tons of barrel life. A guys has tested is FN-FAL how long he needs to fire it till it breaks with cleaning every 5000 rounds or so, I think he currently has 100.000 rounds through the tube and it still works. The barrel is worn but it still hits the target at 100. I admitted that ergonomics, overall design and accuracy are the strong points of the AR design, the action itself though is a mess and I'm not sure if I could say that such a flawed system is holding up pretty well. From a technically point most of its competitors are better with sturdier, more reliable systems. I wouldn't call the AK outdated though, ergonomics of safety, butt stock, mags and bolt release require a major update but internally its fine as it is. Funny, its problems are the opposite of the ARs. The Russians came up with a new AK-inspired design, its pretty much an updated AK and the engineers seem to have dealt with all the original AK's problems I mentioned. If it has the reliability and sturdiness of the AK with the ergonomics of the AR we have a winner here.
