Ever considered adding a Shameless link as well for any late comers to this thread?

wasn't this thread about X-Men not modern weapons

Hey, you started it A Mod will probably be along to split these ones of into a seperate thread or, if we return to the X-men it'll get left alone.

And Gambit sucks more arse than an anally obsessed Vacuum cleaner, in the hands of a Sodomite!

ROFL!

We dislike Gambit do we?

I gave him a chance when he first appeared, as he sort of helped Storm return to the mansion in the X-tinction Agenda, and looked like he might be useful. Then he showed himself to be an arrogant, self-serving prig with a bloated sense of self-worth through his every other apearance and even the tacked on shit about his wife only added a momentary, hafl-hearted veneer of character. So no, I'm not a Gambit fan.

Magneto was easily responsible for many thousands of human deaths, and Stryker for many thousands of mutant deaths: think about how much worse off you'd be when Cerebro started attacking everyone if you were

a: in hospital
b: driving a car
c: flying a plane

etc etc etc

Wrong! As you can see, during those scenes, the entire population of Earth was shopping.

always thought that because the way that weapons and such were avialbe on the black market that police would carry slugs suited to go through the kevlar vests they wear

Nope, they carry rounds that have to stop inide the target to prevent additional casualties. If they fired Armour-peircing rounds they would be hitting about 3 people with every shot at an unarmoured man.

Hollow points can be just as dangerous though given their knack for exploding in the victim.n Would you prefer FMJ or hollow-points?

Standard FMJ is the round of choice. Hollow point is kinda for sadist, and has very poor penetration (against armor, not flesh), and really doesn't have that much chance of exploding. Armor-piercing is too dangerous, in fact that's the reason most SWAT use shotguns, because they'll stop at those thin paper walls U.S. people tend to have

What was up with that anyway? For the entire population of Earth, they didn't seem to be doing much except walking around?!

What about

1: driving
2: fucking
3: sleeping
4: sitting

etc etc etc

Maybe it was Blue Cross sale season or something.

One really cool thing I noticed in the film was that one of the avionics in the Blackbird was a real Garmin GPS NAV/COM system. It is the same unit installed in the Beechcraft Duchess I'm currently flying. Sweet! I feel like an X-Man.


This is the system I'm talking about:




Oh yes, and the movie was SUPERMODEL FUCKING AWESOME!!!

[Captain Cyran]

Sweet! I feel like an X-Man.

Can we get another padded room and straight jacket over here?

[Admiral Valdemar]

The X-Jet looked a lot different too and didn't seem as stealthy, at least more budget was put into a proper looking cockpit unlike the cheapy original one in the first film.

[Ghost Rider]

Sweet! I feel like an X-Man.

Hey, if you had the chance to schmooze with beuatiful half naked lycra clad babes...wouldn't you crow about some association?
