WHAT terrorists ?

So, the 93 hijackings since 2001 don't count, fjukktard
planespoter?

Huh? Did I miss something? What 93 hijackings were those? (That
would be more than one hijacking a month.)


Yeah, that's exactly how many there have been. We had to do our
annual
security course a few weeks ago and we had to guess how many theyre
had
been worldwide. First guess was none, then, one or two were
remembered
so we guessed three. The instructor illuminated us. Most were in
South
America or Africa, but a substantial number weren't...

How many were TERRORISTS Bertie ?


Why, do you have a special column in your planespotters logbook for
terrorist flights, planespotter?







And how many were scheduled passenger services ?



Who gives a ****, fjukkwit?



Don't you have someone to netkkkop?

What does Dudley have to do with it?

Nothing. Matt thinks in his tiny mind that anyone who talks to me
is
somehow enabling me. It's because he doesn't understand trolling.

And you certainly do you demented POS.

Thinking of ADs does remind me of another onethat happened in the hotel
at the USPSA Nationals several years ago.

A competitor was practicing mag changes in his room and letting the
dropped mags fall to the bed. He said he had been doing it for about
five minutes when BANG. A .38 Super sound fired and went through the
wall over his bed, and the next room's bed and the next and the next and
the next. If I remember correctly five rooms were involved and the
bullet finally lodged in a wall and was recovered.

To clarify --- careful (i.e. well trained) shooters practice "dry
fire" exercises all the time.

A cardinal rule is to always practice in one place (room, range,
field, etc), while all ammunition is in another.

An even better technique is to use practice mags, colored pink or
orange.

I couldn't agree more. The story above happened before the first day of
competition so he probably had driven all the way from where ever he
lived to Quincy with the round in the chamber and didn't know it.

This guy wasn't a hack though. He was an experienced either Master or A
class shooter.

Evolution in action?

Technically, that's natural selection.

Don't take this the wrong way -- but too many of the Pistol
competition types are in it for the game first.

That's fine and perfectly acceptable use of firearms (there are many!)
but the Military/LE approach drills in a "weapon" mindset, which in
the long run should result in a greater level of respect.

Are there exceptions? Absolutely! But I've found the guys on the range
that are prior service types (Army and marines particularly) have a
more careful, deliberate approach, while the civilian shooters --
though accomplished -- seem a bit more cavalier.

I shot with Military, Police and civilian shooters during my time
shooting USPSA. And you are right there are a lot of gamers out there
(and they weren't all civilian) in USPSA that was to be expected because
it was a game. We kept score and gave prizes.

In fact, the US Army team that was at the last USPSA nationals I
attended were great shots and quite the gamesmen as well.

And I don't want you to take it the wrong way but a lot of the tactics,
methods and hardware that was developed for USPSA has made it into
police and even military use.

The NRA Police Practical course hadn't changed in years and wasn't very
practical even when it was new. The courses of fire at the NRA National
Matches which are not much better.

There is no way to fully put into play the stresses of an actual
shooting situation in a practice environment. Competition is a close as
I've seen to being able to even try to mimic it.

Absolutely! Most innovations come from outside the military, including
tactical and equipment.

Hard to haul hay in an F-15.

Well, I was going to say "Just hitch a trailer to it" but then I thought
of
the obvious complication, which is that hay doesn't like afterburners.

I knew there was a reason it hasn't been done...

Maybe if you cover the hay with a wet tarp?

I have the trailer, tarp, and hay -- got an F-15 handy?

Well, I guess I'm out. By the time I got the F-15 I wouldn't be able to
afford the trailer hitch.

And an update: According to AvWeb it was a H&K .40 caliber
semi-automatic pistol.

I do believe there is a current bolt action available that uses the 50

Barrett is the name in .50 Caliber bolt actions. The 50 is a supreme
long range caliber, with knock-down power out far past its MER.

I've never seen or heard of anyone firing this in any other position
than prone, with a bi or tripod and recoil pad.


Yup, that's the one. I'd like to have one of those too. don't know
what I'd do with it other than hang it over the mantel and going back
to cooking my own meals doesn't sound all that great.
