  1. http://www.ktla.com/landing_news/?Two-Poss...&feedID=171 Two people in southern California have died, possibly from the swine flu.
  2. Exactly. We should demand that this filthy sack of excrement be forced to have an insurance policy to exercise his First Amendment rights when he produces his drivel for the New York Rag, since he has demanded that we be forced to take out insurance policies to exercise our Second Amendment rights.
  3. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/gerald-sinde...n_b_191401.html Do these morons seriously expect us to not see that this is nothing more than backdoor registration?
  4. That goes to show that both mainstream parties are full of scum and neither are our friends.
  5. My girlfriend goes on a vacation with her mother every year. Last year, they went to Mexico. This year, they are going to Costa Rica. I hope that they'll be safe.
  6. Why would one need a first aid kit if he has the breacher?
  7. I did find this: http://www.brasscatchers.com/store/univbc.html Unfortunately, the part that the picatinny mount attaches to is way too far back from the ejection port, so if I bought this item, it would not do any good unless I heavily modified it. What options are out there?
  8. I have one. I like it a lot. The only possible bad thing that I can say about it is that there is a little play in the stock on any of the given six positions, though I think that this is normal for a telescoping stock (I can't say, since this is the only telescoping stock that I've owned).
  9. I find that the vast majority of anti-gun sheeple know very little about guns, yet there are adamant that we don't have the right to keep certain items that harm no one, in the privacy of our own homes. Here are two examples of the moronic things that they say: 1) They refer to magazines as "clips". There is no excuse for such ignorance. 2) They refer to cartridges as "bullets". Seriously, WTF? That's like me pointing to a car and referring to it as a "spark plug" or a "hub cap" or a "fuel tank". Feel free to add to this list.
  10. . . . but you're forgetting that while it is 'taking a longer time to decelerate' against your soft body armor, it is displacing parts of you that probably shouldn't be displaced (we're back to blunt force trauma). That's what blunt force trauma is: a real-life application of the impulse-momentum theorem. Even against soft body armor, the slug will decelerate very rapidly, and thus generate a large force, thereby displacing internal parts as you said.
  11. http://www.sciencedirect.com/science?_ob=A...2e665c8d90e2421 That is sort of relevant to the case we're considering, though the velocities are a bit higher, and the application is slightly different ("Study on terminal effects of dense fragment cluster impact on armor plate. Part I: analytical model "). It does look like the deceleration times involved in a supersonic projectile hitting something hard, like armor, are indeed on the order of microseconds or tens of microseconds, meaning that the perpetrator feels anywhere from hundreds up to thousands of times the force you do even if w
  12. Well, we'd probably need really good time lapse photography equipment (a high quality digital camera connected to a laptop?) to measure the amount of time between initial impact and complete rest. We'd also need something that approximates bone and flesh, or put kevlar on a dummy (whatever we want to simulate). On the other hand, it may be possible to infer the deceleration time by observing the damage to the target (e.g., measuring the depth of the indentation).
  13. I never understood why so many people in our society have a problem with a quiet animal that kills vermin, yet are also enamored with small, loud, obnoxuious, helpless, over-domesticated, over-dependent canines. I think that there should be a dog silencer video. Who said i had any problem with cats? or animals at all? My problem is with people, especialy preachy animal lovers. I want to go on a rant about PETA now just becaws of you. Can you understand its a 'video game'? I don't care if it was a baby fetus on the end of the barrel I would find it funny. Does that make me pro-choice? N
  14. Well, for deceleration into the enemy, I'd say that it's probably well under 1 millisecond (note: this sort of thing is empirical, meaning it's not practical to get from equations, but rather, should be measured experimentally, in my previous post, I thought that a few milliseconds is reasonable, but on second thought, that does seem a bit long for a bullet, slug, or shot hitting a body). It's actually probably on the order of tens or hundreds of microseconds. For the period of time between the projectile(s) leaving the cartridge, and leaving the muzzle, one uses basic kinematics formula
