Neat sculpture. I don't know if it has any meaning besides being visually striking, but it is visually striking. -

Label them "assault humans" and you've got a bill with legs. -

Amazing machines brought to life by some amazing men. -
HAHAHAHAHA! No no, it looks good, really. Just kidding! It looks just fine. Most importantly though, how does it work?

You'd need the strength of Heracles to unstick the bolts simultaneously! -
Amazing WW2 Aircraft Facts
DrThunder88 replied to magsite20's topic in General Discussion - Any topic is welcome here!!!
Part of the reason for the huge numbers of materiel compared to today is that modern aircraft can do more, carry more, and go farther and faster than WWII planes. I once read a B-52 (not really "modern", but still contemporary) can carry a payload equal to the weight of a whole B-17. A 1000-plane sortie of Buffs would be impressive if only for the exhaust plume, but the questions about the point of diminishing returns would abound. The costs of modern machinery also play a part. If a B-17 cost about $200,000 in 1945, that would be equal to about $2.5 million in today's currency. Still, it -
I've heard of kit builds that used drive rivets blowing their front ends out, but not factory guns. bried, you don't need too elaborate a sandbag setup. It doesn't even necessarily need to be done at the range. So long as you can get the rifle aimed at a specific point in such a way that it doesn't move, you should be able to get close enough to get on paper. A cheap and dirty method I would do at home would go like this: On a far wall, put a sticky note on the wall with a spot to aim at. Set the rifle up on a pile of towels so the iron sights are aimed at the spot. Look through

Very slick! I couldn't tell what the scraper was for at first, but he knew what he was doing. -
I may be misreading your post, but I think you've gotten your elevation way too low. If the scope is on a "generic" side mount, it should not be hovering just above the front sight. Use whatever you can to brace or rest the rifle in such a way that the iron sights are lined up with a moderately distant target. See where the red dot ends up in relation to the aiming point and roughly adjust it to coincide. You should be on paper at 25 yards by doing that. Then it's just a matter of fine tuning.

Russian Thief Targets Wrong Woman
DrThunder88 replied to yakdung's topic in General Discussion - Any topic is welcome here!!!
Maybe getting kicked in the head was all part of his ploy to glance up her skirt. I suspect it's not Russian and possibly not actual security camera footage, but it is pretty entertaining. -
I may be missing something. What's wrong with using steel cases in other bolt guns?

If it's not to be frivolous, it seems like the subject of a tattoo would have to be important enough to emblazon it on one's skin but would also not be diminished by wearing it there. Considering how unappealing my skin is, finding something to fit between thresholds might be impossible. I hope your daughter stays on the mend, liberty-r-death. It sounds like a scary ordeal for everyone.

I did one like that. It's a project I hoped to revisit but haven't gotten around to. I posted some of the progress by leeching on AZG's thread. I did a bit more cohesive writing on Surplus Rifle Forum.

I love XDs and I don't care about grip safeties. -
Yes Please Boycott Florida

Does this mean that the PROs that sell the rights to play the songs have agreed to not license them in SYG states? Have they forbidden iTunes and other online retailers from selling their music to those states? I had been meaning to buy "Superstitious" off Amazon, but I will honor Stevie Wonder's boycott. -

DrThunder88 replied to jerry52's topic in General Discussion - Any topic is welcome here!!!
I'm an XDian as well. I get the feeling that, once you get to a certain price point with modern pistols, there cease to be many differences between them in terms of their important attributes. At that point, it's mostly a matter of what fits the user's body and existing accoutrement. I do like Glock Facts. Not crazy, it's a cult of not really stable people. lol Which is unusual since cult members in general are usually so well-adjusted. -
Body Armor and Pets.
DrThunder88 replied to akastormi's topic in General Discussion - Any topic is welcome here!!!
They have been used as ordnance since ancient times. There was even a machine of war to pelt besieged cities with them. At least, I think that's why they called it a "catapult". -

I couldn't find a good place for a kitten carrier on my gear. Just as well, really since I don't have a kitten launcher.
