Caught some kind of stomach bug. It kinda sucks

That about sums it up. :D

I saw a demotivational poster with that same picture but said:

"Remember your gear is made by the lowest bidder" across the top and "PMAGs" across the bottom.

Was it supposed to be a stab at PMAGs or an endorsement of them? I don't recall ever hearing anything bad about them that wasn't just a personal nitpick (like most of Magpul's products). One was even allegedly run over by an APC and still functioned flawlessly.

An endorsement of them was what I took from it. The STANAG mags are a crap shoot in regards to condition if you draw them from the armory, not saying they aren't well made to begin with, but they just get beat to hell over time.

Buy your own PMAGs and go with that was what I took from it.

I loved mine.

This has to be the cheesiest armoured car ever: http://i6.imageban.ru/out/2013/07/22...1a29fe32b1.jpg

Is it only half built? :confused:

Looks like an M113 hull that they have cut some windows in and just stuck on top of a truck chassis.

Yeah, I see it now.

RIP Paul Walker. He wasn't exactly a great actor, but he seems like he was a cool bro. And I'd be lying if I denied enjoying the "Fast and Furious" films when I was in high school (and I remain unable to stay away from newer franchise entries even as a grown man).

I was kind of shocked that he died. It just came out of nowhere.

Another gun blog I frequent stated that Walker was a gun guy, actively supported Wounded Warrior, and was on his way to an event to aid the typhoon relief.

Seemed like a pretty good guy.

And now I've realized how ironic Paul Walker's death was.

Only the good die young, I suppose. A modern day James Dean perhaps?

No, but good interpretation. He starred in the Fast and the Furious films and he died in a car crash.

Is anybody following the murder of the teacher in Massachuetts?

One of her students, 14 years old, alledgedly followed her in to the bathroom, sexually assualted her, took her credit cards, iPhone, and panties, then slit her throat with a box cutter.

He tossed her in a recycle bin and then went to Wendys and a movie.

A State Trooper found him later, in pocession of her credit cards and panties.

I can't fathom that kind of evil.

Good God...

.45 to the brain = problem solved, in that case

Today is my last day of class this semester, but it also happens to be the day I get out of class at 8:30 in the evening. So much free time today, not a whole lot to do with it

From his IMDB profile:

"I'm passionate about animals and I hunt too. It's like I save and I kill. I'm a walking, talking contradiction. I'm all about preserving the environment but I'm racing cars on the weekend. I tell everyone I'm a gun-loving hippy."

As for Wounded Warrior, read this:

Like I said, he will probably never be remembered as a great actor, but he was still in some entertaining films and he lived a wonderful life off-camera. It's nice to see someone who stayed far more grounded than most of Hollwood and relished his hobbies when he wasn't working.

Neither can I; it's one of the most messed-up things I've heard. It almost makes me hate Roper vs. Simmons.

Honestly, I was reading the various articles on CNN about it, I yearned for a "Time to Kill" esque vigilante to appear.

But that isn't how our justice system works.

I hope in some form or fashion, justice is served to this cretin, up to and including him becoming the "date" of some long term lifer in the Massachuetts State Penn named Ernie.

I imagine there's a good possibility that this will happen... *knock on wood*

Been getting used to sketching on an Intuos Pro. It's surprisingly hard to do the old "squares freehand" drawing 101 when you can't turn your paper.

A lady friend just told me that she thought Marlin was a type of fish and a crappy baseball team.

LOL

Well, little do they know that Q Branch developed the ultimate hangover cure. AND IT HAS A LASER.

Gah, I've had a really horrible past couple of months. First I got really sick, then I got snowed in and now I've had computer issues. So far my year has sucked.

Finished up the semester today

Mikail Kalashnikov has passed away. Sad day.

God bless that man for creating such a fabulous weapon (even though it was used by communists).

It is super cold here in Indiana. -17 F last I check

I'm currently trapped in my house because of all of the snow.

Pretty bored, just had to make the decision to almost completely cut someone out of my life/cease to be concerned about them

What'd they do?

I've heard of .22 rounds bouncing off thick jackets or multiple layers of clothes, but a bullet that bounces off bare human skin? LOL

In that article it doesn't say it ricocheted off of his bare skin just off of his face. I imagine it glanced off of the side of his skull and hit the other mugger (who were standing on all sides at the time) which is perfectly plausible for a .22, and even much bigger stuff.

They fucked up

Thinking about "borrowing" the rubber buttpad my buddy bought for his 91/30 but didn't like, because my M44 feels a bit too short


On a related note, I really wish my Parker Hale was as cheap to shoot as the Mosin; it is quickly becoming my favorite bolt-action rifle, and it sucks that it's so expensive to shoot
