The picture looks great. For a moment it seemed to be real and not photoshopped.

Not to vulture, but just because he mentioned what I think is one of the coolest guns ever...

I've been shooting with .45 weapons all the way from the DE .45

If he means the Desert Eagle, than I should mention that the Desert Eagle has never been made in .45 Just .357 Magnum, .44 Magnum, and .50 Action Express.

Maybe he's talking about a Detonics pistol, but I've only heard the abbrv. DE used in reference to the Desert Eagle.

That was actually me, not Stewie boy. And i actually meant the Baby Eagle which has been manufactured in .45ACP . Its been a few years since i used a true Desert Eagle, so i did a minor error.

It's like an advanced version of Andrew Joshua Talon.

I mean the pics aren't quite as hilarious as Concrete/Dirt(we only get glowy pic). But the level of intelligence is the same...basically using bigger more adult terminology on subjects he has no idea about, and the usual braggart yabbering.

I have to agree, I'm amazed he hasn't said he has a 12 inch penis.

I thought DE .45 referred to the Colt Double Eagle, a short-lived double action/single action variant of the 1911.

I hate to defend an idiot, but his target shooting claims are not beyond belief (I don't personally believe them, but they're not impossible).

His claim:
"I will bet $100 US, that I can get more hits than misses on a standard sillowet or B-5 target, at 100m, in front of witnesses, with either my .22 or .45 pistol."

Truth, that's not impossible...for a good marksman. He just said "more hits than misses", which means a bullet anywhere on the silhouette is a hit...and a standard silhouette is fairly big. He'd just have to keep his shots within about 12-18" horizontally and as much as 2-3 feet vertically. He'd be holding waaay high, but he could use his pistol like a mortar and do it, if he's good. Take a couple misses to get the range and elevation, then lob 'em in. He has a large margin for error.
He said more hits than misses out of a magazine, so that's 4 out of 7 hits he needs. A good enough shot could do it.

True, maximum effective range is only 30-60 yards. But cartridges CAN be fired beyond their effective range by a skilled marksman...Skeeter Skelton hit targets at ranges as far 600 yards with his .44 magnum. All the maximum effective range indicates is the maximum range at which the round is likely to be accurate when used by an ordinary shooter. A .45 ACP round is not TOTALLY inaccurate at 100 yards...it's just harder to aim than normal.

All that said, I don't believe for a minute that he can do it...he'd have to be one of the finest pistol shots in the country. Further, his claim here comes nowhere NEAR the difficulty of some other claims...I believe one email claimed a "head shot at 109 meters"? Now THAT is impossible.

Rightous Fist Of Heaven · Post by **Rightous Fist Of Heaven** » 2004-02-20 11:51am

The claim was 100 meters, not 100 yards. And the maximum effective range of a 45ACP falls far short of 100 meters, very far short.

How about you and I go to the range. I'll pick up the tab, provide the ordinance and ammo, all you have to do is post the results accurately on this board. There is a 50' range in McHenry, just east of the river. We can use reduced dimentioned targets to represent longer ranges. If you know any thing at all this could prove my point.

How about it?

At this point, I hate to do a 'me too', but you can not accurately reproduce the same effect by reducing the size of the target. The ordinate of the round will be massively different at 50' than at 100' or 300' (or roughly 100 meters).

Incidentally, Stewart's claims that the asteroid wasn't glowing strike me as being VERY similar to AJT's claims that the door on DSI was still intact when it was blown open.

I say stop pigeon-holing and making silly claims and just get back to the debate.

Cromag · Post by **Cromag** » 2004-02-20 02:24pm

What I don't understand is how he can possibly support the albedo change theory.

Clearly he's arguing for a much lower energy level for TL's. He's said that the asteroids are just masses of talc (he gives no reason why the SD would bother blasting something that would be of no consequence if it impacted on the ship) and explains away the white-hot glowing by saying it's just a change in the asteroid's albedo. I don't think he's even provided a mechanism for this change.

But the biggest failing of his theory, at least to me, is that a substance's albedo is just a ratio of the amount of light reflected off its surface to the amount of incident light. How in the world does a TL bolt increase the amount of light reflected off the opposite side of an object the bolt is striking?

Stewart, I know you're reading this thread and have your hands full on several fronts at this point. Give it up. Give it all up: the "Institute", the marksmanship, and especially the TL argument. You're not proving anything apart from your own stupidity.

I raised that point to him before, saying you would need to have a superbright spotlight shining onto a polished surface and reflecting into the camera to get the effect he's claiming. He simply ignored it.

Don't forget his claim that Captain Janeway could have engaged maximum super-duper warp and gotten Voyager home in a couple of hours at any time during Voyager's 7 year run, but chose not to.

Curses! I thought I raised a point you missed! Shoulda known that you'd catch it.

I'm now upset that I didn't catch you catching it; that spotlight thing just sailed right over my head.

Truly, the man should never have been "gifted" with both the intellect of cheese mold and the ability to share the fruits of it with us.

He's just getting plain repetitive now. He continues to insist that the gas must glow visibly despite examples to the contrary. He also does not seem to understand that the cloud is expanding.

Since repitition is the theme of the day I'll repeat my challenge:

Stewart I'm stationed at Camp Lejeune for just a few days longer. If you fly down here and succed in placing more than half of one (1) magazine, fully loaded with .45ACP, into a standard B-mod target at 200 yards then I will:
1) Pay the total cost of your trip to include Flight, Hotel, Rental Car, and a small per diem to cover food.
2) Pay you $100 to cover the bet itself

However if you FAIL then I will pay you nothing and merely require that you make a new top level thread conceeding that you had no idea what you were talking about with regards to firing hand guns.

In lieu of this you may elect to pay me the $100 and allow me to post the results.

Now do you accept or not because time is short?

Like it really matters. Here, have the whole neighborhood. If you ever get around to actually putting up a website you might want it.

So then why is 4601 listed as the residence of a Jamie Hill while 4801 is listed for Kit Davies? It must make it confusing for those high-paying clients to find the place.

And speaking of which, just how would people even hear of this thing if there's no phone listing, website, or advertisment of any kind? Do you have a little stand in front of the house like this?
DON'T QUOTE PICS FUCKTARD

"People" generaly can not afford my service. The whole picture you sent shows the very corner of my home, just under the logo in the bottom left corner. My sisters home is just out of the fraim near the top. My other sister's home is just to the right of the logo.

Where did you get the image? I would like to down load the whole thing, if it shows our homes. I am serrious! Thank you for the opportunity.

The history you cited is for my mom. And yes I do work out of my home. So what? Aren't you lucky enough to work out of yours, or do you have to punch a clock, like so many other pleebs?

Stewart at SDI · Post by **Stewart at SDI** » 2004-02-20 03:25pm

That's a worthless test you idiot. Shooting 1-2" groups at a bit over 16 yards proves nothing, anyone with some training and a decent gun & ammo can do it. Besides, you can't scale 200 yards down to 15 yards, there's this thing on a gun called the sight, which on a handgun doesn't work too well at 200 yards. Also, there's these wonderful things known as wind and gravity which are a much larger factor at 200 yards than at a piddling 16 yards & change.

Then lets drive to Bristol Wisconsin. It's only an hour away and they have 200 or 300 yards to play with. The bet was for 100m, and more hits than misses on a standard sillowet target. I'll even come by and pick you up. It whon't cost you a penny. ( Except the C note if you take the bet.) But then you will have to post the results wouldent you. I'll even give the 200 yard range a try. Then all this BS from you guys will have to stop.

How about it? I've got next week end free at the moment.

So Stewart if you work from home here's an easy question.

How are you paid...W-2 or 1099?

Since you have no idea of Escrow...I'm amazed you claimed you own a house...but hey, maybe you're just ignorant

I'll have to wipe tears off my face soon. Dude, you're seriously suggesting that a sun halo would look like an asteroid in space blown away by a high-energy weapon? And then you go on to chide Mike Wong with your professionalism in photography?

*rolls over*

Heh, I wouldn't claim to be a pro in photography, even though I've actually worked with with it. A rank amateur with your typical 35 mm compact would know you're blowing smoke when comparing the asteroid scene with a sun halo. I wasn't going to comment on this debate, but this is just too funny!

I liked the " My arguments are broad based with many facets.", together with the burden of proof fallacy in the same paragraph.
Did I miss something, or didn't Stewie raise a single even remotely plausible point?
