I'm fully aware of that fact, thanks, Mr. Bean. I just ripped the title from the news source.Mr Bean wrote:Thread updated to reflect Loomer's total lack of gun knowledge. Submachine gun NOT equal to Machine gun.

SMG != Assault RifleMr Bean wrote:Thread updated to reflect Loomer's total lack of gun knowledge. Submachine gun NOT equal to Machine gun.
It's obviously not a SMG. Look at the magazine. It's for a rifle caliber cartridge, not a pistol caliber. Depending on exactly what trigger group is actually installed, it may or may not be a machine gun. Looks like there's two fire settings though, making it a true assault rifle.
Also, the BATFE defines a machine gun as anything that fires more than one shot per pull of the trigger, so it would also be a machine gun.

Does anybody really care what kind of weapon it is?
Be realistic. If they had to do too much work in order to make someone presentable for a calendar, then they would simply choose someone else. There's no shortage of girls out there whose faces aren't all scratched up. I have no doubt her appearance has actually gone significantly downhill between those two photographs, makeup or no makeup.Stark wrote:Dude, look how airbrushed her face is in that picture.KlavoHunter wrote:Don't forget the torn-up face from meth scratching.

For sure, but I doubt it's as bad as 'totally smooth face' to 'meth junkie crevice'. Without makeup etc she'd look like a regular person.Darth Wong wrote:Be realistic.

The pictures of her posing with the gun and such came quite a while before the meth-face picture, at least a period of multiple months.Darth Wong wrote:Does anybody really care what kind of weapon it is?Be realistic.

Yes. Sick, sad nerdboys with a raging hardon for guns. Like me, sadly.Darth Wong wrote:Does anybody really care what kind of weapon it is?

Might I suggest reading it to you...as he said the articles make no mention of meth and having a scratched up face can come from good ol' hysteria rather than meth. Or has someone developed a technique that can detect drugs from a picture alone?General Zod wrote:Might I suggest reading the full thread?Sidewinder wrote: The articles didn't mention methamphetamine use, although the police found marijuana when they searched the apartment. Can you tell me why you thought Fulbright was on meth? (I admit I don't know anyone who's used meth.)

It was a tongue-in-cheek comment based extreme resemblance of the before/after pics to those before/after methhead photos (plus I think those things on her forehead are some sort of pipe burns). We can all take a deep breath and calm down now.Might I suggest reading it to you...as he said the articles make no mention of meth and having a scratched up face can come from good ol' hysteria rather than meth.

I realized that after I hit the submit button but couldn't delete it, but the comments didn't exactly seem serious.

H&K disagrees with you Beowolf The HK53 is a submachine gun, so say's the maker of the gun. Yes it does fire rifle ammunition, but it's barrel length disqualifies it as a true assault rifle. Will you disagree with the people who make the gun Beowolf? At worst "I'm wrong" in the sense it's a hybrid gun, but it's dimensions make it a submachine gun.Beowulf wrote:No, but Bean was being both pedantic about it, and wrong.Darth Wong wrote:Does anybody really care what kind of weapon it is?
And why do I care? Because it's a pet-pev of mine that the media traditional refers to EVERY automatic gun as a Machine gun. Be it an acutal machine gun like an American M249 Saw a Russian RPK-74 or a German MG3. Or Assault rifles like Ak-47's, or a G36 or a submachine gun like a Uzi or an Mp5.
Whatever the gun is, unless it's a rifle, they call it a machine gun, and it is a Pet Peeve of mine.

That's not an official website, and the site doesn't actually claim that it is a submachine gun, merely the same size as one. A submachine gun is defined as firing pistol caliber ammunition. Therefore, it's not one, because it fires 5.56 NATO. The assault rifle definition makes no note of the length of the barrel, so it can be one.

Take this bullshit to a new thread if you want to continue. Otherwise shut up.

Another bizaree celebrity story; Kumari Fulbright in the second photo still looks oddly very attractive, even though she looks like a very haggard, emotional mess who clearly had a bit too much of the white/brown stuff. I wonder why she went off the rails in this fashion? Although the article did mention the man she held captive was a criminal scumbag himself and was her lover, so he very likely had something to do with Ms. Fulbright's rapid deterioration as a person.

Are you seriously suggesting that mug shot makes her look attractive, BO?
