  1. CJ is right, Steyr Aug magazine. The Australian Army uses an Australian licensed built Steyr Aug as their standard issue rifle.
  2. I would think Alpo is off his meds again
  3. Sure hope the empties fall out by themselves.
  4. IF there are multiple shooters, it would strongly suggest a gang fight. If it was right wing or left wing fanatics, their target would have political implications and they normally act alone. If it was foreign actors, their target would likely have political implications and IED's would probably have been used.
  5. Politicians never wait or care about facts
  6. Might as well wait, it'll be 24-48 hours before the real facts come out. Right now the news morons are busy trying to get the ratings, website clicks and increase their social media followers, so lots of speculation, not a lot of facts.
  7. I use 2F Triple 7 in my Dillon 650. Depending on the caliber and charge you MAY have to put in the large pistol charge bar to avoid bridging and to get a consistent powder drop
  8. and garbage, animal remains and human remains as well.
  9. As long as you drop the Magtech hulls into soapy water or Ballistol and water right after you shoot them, case length is indefinite. I have not had throw out a Magtech brass hull in at least 10 years of shooting real BP in them. Elmer's wood glue does pretty good job of sealing the overshot card in and doesn't dry out nearly as quickly as Elmer's white glue. There is no advantage to nickel cases that I have seen and they split far more often then brass cases. I use .38 Special. Keep in mind that if you use Magtech hulls you need to move up a gauge when using fiber wads and cards: 11 gauge fiber wads and cards for 12 gauge, 9 gauge fiber wads and cards for 10 gauge, unless you can find over sized plastic wads. Plastic is quicker to load, but a bit more difficult to clean. Fiber is a bit longer to load, but easier to clean. Forget the cookies, Come to the Dark Side, we have BACON!
  10. All of Ritchie Valens' songs were performed by Los Lobos, whom the Valenzuela family personally requested be involved in the film. And Los Lobos looks so young in this video
  11. I've been aboard the USS intrepid a couple of times, all though it's been a while. https://intrepidmuseum.org/ One of the very few positives to living in the Northeast is the number and quality of military museums that are within a day's drive.
  12. Wonder how many waivers it took to keep him in
  13. Especially the ones about the fighter pilots
  14. Newer doesn't always mean better. In a role where the extra weight of the Maxim isn't a concern, I doubt that most of the modern infantry machine guns are significantly better. Although I'd prefer a Vickers over the Maxim. "The base had a stockpile of approximately 5 million rounds of Mk VII ammunition which was no longer approved for military use. They took a newly rebuilt Vickers gun, and proceeded to fire the entire stock of ammo through it over the course of seven days." https://www.popularmechanics.com/military/weapons/a18971/forgotten-weapons-the-vickers-gun-is-one-of-the-best-firearms-ever-made/
  15. It's supposed to be humor. Guess I'm tired of the perception that the National Guard doesn't do anything or is incapable of doing their jobs.
  16. I tend to hover near Snacks (his alias) while he cooks the steak tips to make sure I get some. Also my own chili
  17. Hmm, while I wasn't in at the time, my MP National Guard unit did a tour in Iraq during Desert Storm guarding EPW's; a tour in Iraq during OIF training the Iraqi police. There were 10 Purple Hearts given out for that deployment and they also deployed to Afghanistan. And guess who won the 2023 International Sniper Competition, held April 10-13 at Fort Benning, Georgia? https://taskandpurpose.com/news/international-sniper-competition-2023-army-national-guard/ The National Guard of the 70's and 80's is gone. Most National Guard units could be expected to deploy overseas to either Afghanistan or Iraq when we still had a major presence in both countries.
  18. It's an AR type platform that is legal in states where the actual semi-auto AR-15 is banned, like here in CT. There are more accessories for the AR platform than any other rifle I can think of, some are useful accessories and some are stupid. And an AR 15 lever action is a lot quicker to fire than a bolt action. But that doesn't mean I want one.
  19. Most of the planes probably flew off the only two freshwater, coal-fired, side paddle-wheel aircraft carriers ever used: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Sable https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Wolverine_(IX-64)
