Look carefully. That's not the barrel, it's the flash suppressor/muzzle brake.

Not trying to insult your intelligence here, but come on, if you've never actually seen the damn thing in person and have no idea how it works, just say so. When the rifle is firing the stock stays fixed. It doesn't go back and forth like a piston, if that's what you were thinking. So no, there...

Notice I specifically said liability insurance. I have asked this very question to both companies that I have had insurance with and both told me the car make and model do not matter, not after I told them it wasn't a new vehicle. I understand *some* models (i.e. Lamborghini Gallardo) are...

"Please Visit Army.Ca"?! Sounds like official DND endorsement to me. Good work Mike, army.ca has managed to drive the army out of the discussion forum market. A few more years of expansion and they might as well make you CDS.  :)

The heated air rising from the supressor also tends to distort the sight picture after prolonged firing. That what snipers tell me, anyway, don't know how serious the issue really is.

I'm not sure I understand you here. Is the SMART in some kind of special category that makes it particularly risky to insure? Why would liability insurance for a SMART or any new car cost more than an old one? Every insurance company I've ever spoken to has told me that the type of car I drive...

Because it slides back and forth, of course! Why do you think the C7A2s have an adjustable buttstock?

Are you unclear as to what role the butt plays in the weapon's operation?

From wikipedia The whole article is pretty funny, more so because it's true.

What the devil are you talking about?

If someone was so insecure and self conscious about their religious beliefs, or lack thereof, that they can't think of any reasonable way to handle this situation without breaking down into tears and bringing up the Charter, then berhaps they'd best reconsider their choice of careers.

Video game, Dundgeons and Dragons, whatever. I think I just lost 10 IQ points by merely going to that site.

Also, note that we are talking about real supressors, as opposed to the ones depicted in the video game whose site was just plagarised. *edit* Sorry, upon further inspection, the site appears to depict the rules of some kind of tabletop role-playing game, akin to Dundgeons and Dragons. My...

He should probably check his "silencer", make sure it's screwed on tight. ;D

It's not very nice, but the media is simply catering to the public's interests, and the US public doesn't really care what the insurgents do, or when one gang of brown people brutalize another. This was all readily apparent when Bush pushed for the war on the basis of the WMD argument. The US...

So, you graduated high school at age 25?    :) Of course, anyone can see the mistake in this example. People don't start university at age 25, a 25 year old soldier won't be competing with other 25 year olds starting their first degree, because a keen 25 year old academic will already be...

No, I did not. I am saying that the discipline a 17 yr old picks up during basic training will do him good in his undergraduate degree, but people doing graduate and post doctoral work are at a different level entirely and your comparison simply isn't relevent. Undergrad degrees are EASY. Basic...

Huh, so they're going to put a mini red dot on top of the Elcan? I thought the Elcan was supposed to be instantly adjustable to 1x? Is the eye relief at 1x too limited?

See, I like to think of this as a good thing for all parties involved, so I try to encourage it where ever I can. So, the course gets more challenging, the weak are weeded out, the mood is lightened, everyone has a good laugh about it at the end, what's not to like? :)

George, we are not talking about the same kind of academia. An undergrad degree in history is a piece of cake, anyone and his dog can get one, it would take *me* about 6 drunken month to get one for my second degree and I'm the slackest troop you'll ever see. It won't make you a historian, not...
