Must be the location. If I lived that close to the french, I'd be a little nutty too.

Perhaps it's all these weird people on SB lately, Manji is a guy I really wish would come over here for a while.

Demios has used his Manji personae and a lot of other's here. He got driven out and titled.

Poor Deimos/Manji/Acclamator/Darth Valdemar. I wanted to mock him. Again.

Shit, I'd love it if Ladiesman would come over here with his pro-Enterprise 'arguements' . That'd be an event I'd love to see.

Don't forget Hammer, Totoenkopft, and Awacs.

The term "arse raped" was coined for such events.

Donner und blitzen, that guy had more aliases than Manji had inches in his rifles!

And I'm sure I'm forgeting some of the aliases.

A whole new class of schizo, him and MKSheppard singlehandedly produced the pro-gun movement on the Internet it would seem.

Now THAT's comedy.

I think the laws of physics are the best nemesis here, a 16" shoulder mounted rifle will soon pay for itself.

Yeah, but look at the "NEARLY," it looks the same, it is probably due to the picture being taken at an angle.

Knowing how stupid the idiot news media the US has, this doesn't surprise me a bit. I mean, we have some genuine idiots running the show on some of these newspapers and news programs. Just listen to one newscast that concerns firearms or military hardware. Take a list of how many errors you hear. You will be surprised.

Ooh, .22mm calibre rifle. Unless it's going at 18 TIMES TEH SP33D 0F L1GHT!!1! then it ain't doing shit to me.

I have heard they are the worst for gun reporting, they took forever to get the make of the gun right for the Washington sniper incident.

Add the word recoilless and you've got a perfectly fine weapon, the Soviet actually built one, though it blew up during trials. I've got the pictures somewhere. They also built a 12 inch recoilless rifle and mounted it on a destroyer, 10,000 meter range with a 200 pound shell IIRC. Plan was for five but the war cut things short.

Firing a much lighter shorter shell you might actually be able to fire one from your shoulder. Almost certainly from a hummer or M113.

W000000000T W00T W000T W00T! I hated Deimos anyway. I'm glad he's gone.

The best calibre I hear is 88mm, and besides, Manji or Legion as he shall now be known, was basically asking for the Iowa to give a man one of it's rifles. The barrel would hurt.

80-90mm is where you generally find recoilless rifles. Alot of that has to do with ammo and weapon weight. Now a days rocket launchers are better. The 105mm RPG-29 can kill a T-80 frontally with heavy reactive armor fitted. Though it weighs as much as a Javalin system with two missiles with about a fifth the accurate range. Cheep as shit though.

As for an Iowa gun hurting, I'd expect so, given that just the barrel weighs 119 tons

Heh, yeah, I forget the name, but the rifle used primarily in Vietname was a good all-rounder, but missiles seem more apt now as you say.

4774C|< 0F 7H3 1337 $P33|<!!!!!

hehe, anywho, yeah, they screwed up something awful on the Washington sniper, they were throwing out images of an AR-15, calling it an 'assault rifle most likely used in the murders'. While no evidence was pointing towards this...

Mostly just because an AR-15 'looks mean'. Bah, stupid people...

I have found that the American news media needs to generally be taken with a grain of salt. There are many cases where they go so far as to border on yellow journalism when they report stories and blow them way out of proportion.

That's hardly a problem confined to the US media. I've seen the same sort of stuff out of European news outlets.

I've actually heard that European news is sometimes worse, particularly in the UK. Most newspapers and news programmes have become rags, from what my sister and mom have said.

They also had the shuttle travelling at "Mock 18" just before the accident....I guess this was a typo too
And FOX news had the shuttle at an altitude of "200,000 miles".....

Probably just a case of newsies typing too fast to proofread
