smile I'm pretty sure the term "red tape" refers to all the difficulty civil war veterans had in getting the benefits they'd been promised. Seems the appropriate records were all wrapped up in the stuff.

Maybe. Don't know for sure.

I liked the report of the Seal's reporting, "3 clear head shots", and then some bad mother says "take em". Too cool, better than TV....

Whitefeather's longest cofirmed kill, (and up untill very recently longest ever), was 2500 yards. Thats 1-1/2 miles. F-ing nuts! Can you say reach out an touch someone? Jeremy's pic is most definetly a .50. I've been shopping for one I can actually afford. New Barret's were about $8k new, used ones are damn hard to find, you gotta know someone. I reeeaaally want a CheyTech rifle, but at $23k a copy, a bit out of my price range. Better have a re-loader too, at $9.00 a squeeze, .50's aren't cheap to plink with.

You don't go huntin' Pirates with little boats and little guns, you send in a squadron of these.

A 30mm gatling gun that fires 6,000 rounds per minute. Death from above. Air superiority is the quickest way to eliminate the Pirate Problem. Just ask any of those Republican Guards on the "Highway of Death".

That is the one that my son uses in Afghanistan M82A or M107. He cannot stand lugging it up mountains, but loves the gun. Also known as a Barrett 50 cal.

A head shot with a 50 would be pretty dramatic. Unless it was an extreme range, I would guess they used something else.

I'm not going to get into this again,BUT if your disturbed by that than carry your a$$ to Canada PERMANENTLY, and it won't bother you.It's a hobby(Kinda like cat sailing) and shooting is what some folks like to do.So drop it.
Plus we may need it for the pirates that are a little out of range.

Shooting is a sport. Shooting pirates is something else.

Joking about people catching a bullet in the head bothers me. In this case I'm all for it, but it isn't funny. At least not to me.

There's a reason I never post on political threads. What was I thinking?

Sorry Mike,
My bad, maybe I'm a little sensitive considering the political climate these days. If it was a Karl thing and not a gun thing ,I digress. On rare occasion even I need a taller glove.

Were you at Spring Fever?

Pete,
It's looking like we need to make shooting pirates a sport kinda like clay pigeons.

Yes, it was a (poor) attempt at humor. After seeing some of Karl's avatars, the idea of one of those guns in his possession is a bit much.

Obviously, I'm the only one seeing the humor in this, so I'll stop now... wink
