January 2013 - Argghhh!

No, no. Not Ben Affleck and Matt Damon... much less Alanis Morrisette “I don’t believe in guns,” said Dorsey. “I don’t own a gun. I’m totally at the mercy of my saviors. They obviously sent two angels to help me. These people protected me when I couldn’t protect myself.” Heh. Good thing the Angels believed in fantasy weapons. In a further example of muddled thinking (hey, he'd just been mugged and witnessed a gunfight, I'll cut him some slack...

By the way - the girl's pro-choice movement has killed a lot more innocents than mine has. And there are a surprising number of serial killers in that movement, too. But before there's any outraged spluttering from my pro-choice friends - the characterization may be harsh, but it is how I see things. And I understand each story is different. And I'm not advocating a ban, either.

...just because I (still) can.

Slick got the Whatziss, and quickly, too. Well done, sirrah! Those of you saying recoil mounts were sniffing in the right direction, led by Rich. Had it gone a day further, the perspective would have changed, being some cropped portion of this shot of the mount: And because I know you really want to see it - here you go.

JTG just won't let the bone go, and when I was visiting Lvncenturion in his office yesterday *he* busted my chops on the topic. Which is ironic, since he also busted my chops for posting all that fire direction stuff... Huh? What am I talking about? Mortar Fire direction kit. Which, unsurprisingly, is rather similar to artillery fire direction kit. Here is a surveyed firing chart (that I made this weekend) which, golly gee, is fully compatible with either mortars or cannon. In this case, I have...

...that rifle was probably carried by that Ranger's grandfather too. Kinda like the B-52s, being flown by pilots who find their grandfather's graffiti in the fuselage. And crap, now Feinstein is going to put the No.4 Mk1 on her banned list - once she see's it is still a front line weapon in a modern military. Can't let civilians have the same kinds of guns the government issues to it's own! OP NUNALIVUT 2012 Ranger Wally Pauloosie, from Taloyoak, Nunavut, provides predator control...
