Sgt. C.J. Sabre, SASS #46770

Back in the '70s, Clint Eastwood had a place in Carmel called "The Hog's Breath Inn". In a slightly different vein, back in Columbus Ohio there used to be an outfit driving red trucks with "Caution Explosives" signs on them. They supplied popcorn to movie theaters.

That stainless S&W looks to be a Model 681, think a fixed sight 686. As for the .44 Magnum Diamondback, I don't think so. The Diamondback was a smaller framed revolver. They were only made in .22 and .38. I think, and I may be wrong here, that it's the same frame as a Detective Special.

I absolutely detest the whole body modification business. Now I'll bet that many of you guys have tattoos. And I suppose that's fine. But when I see an otherwise attractive person, woman OR man that is covered with tattoos and piercings, I simply find it displeasing.

Not to mention that aircraft are made of aluminium, and the skin is THIN aluminum. But if a round or two were to hit the cockpit, and miss the pilot, they could still tear up an instrument panel and damage the controls.

If it gets to that point, the rest of us will be in the same bread lines.

When I first started shooting, I met a guy who did a LOT of reloading. He would go to the local outdoor range with a rake about once a month and just rake out hundreds of fired bullets. He's melt them down, cast his bullets, load them up, and sell them at the range. And to answer Father Kit Cool Gun Garth's question, most bullets, at least handgun bullets, penetrate about a foot into plain dirt.

Putting a round into an engine would definitely FOD, (Foreign Object Damage), it out. Most twin engine aircraft can fly and land on one engine, (that's why Navy and Marine aircraft have two, even helicopters), but taking off almost certainly wouldn't happen. As long as the offending aircraft wasn't already taking off, a bullet into the intake would safely stop it from going far. A birdstrike as shown in "Topgun Maverick", while it would almost certainly NOT take out both engines, would probably take out one of them.

I've got a dog that sometimes throws up at 5:30 in the morning after having been fed at 4:40 in the afternoon that sometimes looks like she just ate.

I believe that it is NOT recommended to paint a helmet. I think that your first guess that it affects the fiberglass is correct.

Kind of like "Fun Run". That was, and still is, my thought too. Add to it that the terrorists were reported to have headed to Ukraine to escape.

THAT'S the scene I was thinking of!!! My favorite episode, too.

You said in the New .22 thread: There’s a line from a show that I cannot remember the name of right now that made me laugh to myself, but was very poignant. A main character was dying. His friend says “You shouldn’t die alone.” The main character responded “We all die alone.” I also remember this scene, but not what it is from. Now I'll be sitting here ALL DAY trying to remember it. I want to say it's from an episode of "Firefly", but I'm not sure. Maybe it was from "Outlaw Josey Wales"? When the kid died?

I'm going to go against the grain here and say that a .22 revolver can solve all these problems. While the round discussed here specifically was NOT designed for a revolver, plenty of other ammo will work just fine. This is my Taurus 94. 9 shot DA, 4" with adjustable sights. Since it is the same frame as their 85 series revolvers in .38, it wears the same grips as my 85s, but normally came with a larger wood grip. More modern versions come with a rubber grip.

My former employer had a FAX machine integral with the printer. As a matter of FAX,, so do I. Though personally I've only used my FAX machine once.

The ballistic gel test was underwhelming at best. I'm not saying that I wouldn't use it if it was all I had, but I'd like something bigger.

Either that, or if you make one out to "Cash".

Rule 39: There's no such thing as coincidence.

I looked at the videos, and while it "might" be a better .22, I think that a .380 would be better. Girsan is making a slightly modernized version of the Baretta 84. The tip up barrel would be a real asset to somebody without the strength to rack a slide.

Thanks Alpo.

That's where the witches are too. And NONE of them are good.

The pistol in his left hand looks like Borchardt.

Not necessarily. If the President didn't have anything to do with the child's criminal activity, it shouldn't have a bearing on the President. In Hunter's case, the President is in it up to his neck. I didn't have any use for Jimmy Carter, but it didn't have anything to do with his brother Billy. Edit: Of course, if the child is having a kegger in the White House, that might be a different story.

I got no problem with it, just answering Alpo's question.

Very possible. Some years ago I read a story about him that said that when he was at Princeton, his Secretary had to stay at the office because Einstein would have to call him because he kept getting lost on his way home.
