  1. I am sorry you lost people you knew, but i am more sorry you blame an inanimate object rather than the person(s) who actually caused the deaths. Until someone creates and sprinkles some really strong magical fairy dust around the world, that will never happen. mike Girls only want boyfriends who have great skills--You know, like nunchuk skills, bow-hunting skills, computer-hacking skills.
  2. Oh yes, I do realize that sarin is a chemical weapon. As part of the NBC family, it is also considered a weapon of mass destruction. WMDs are the subject of this thread. I am sorry I misread your hair splitting attention diversion from WMDs to biological weaponry. Here's some things I think we can agree on: Have chemical WMDs been found? yes Have the chemical weapons been found in the quantities estimated based upon pre-war intelligence reports from exiled Iraqi WMD scientists and officials? no, not yet Have biological weapons been found yet? Nope Had Iraq been importing the large quantities of media to grow biological *substances?* Yes, but according to some here, it's probably just for the Iraqi students and the Iraqi doctors who were safely studying biological *substances* in an academic environment. Did the pre-war WMD intelligence from several countries convince the politicians of this country to act in a bipartisan manner to authorize the invasion of Iraq? yes Now, here's something we might not agree on: Now that we have removed the instigator of Iraqi WMD development and use, and have found our initial (international) intelligence to be somewhat lacking, do we point fingers at the current administration--laying full blame for that poor intelligence upon it--and remove our troops immediately to allow a full-blown civil war ensue in Iraq? No, we started this, so let's see it to the end. mike Girls only want boyfriends who have great skills--You know, like nunchuk skills, bow-hunting skills, computer-hacking skills.
  3. If a kid can lose a matchbox car in a six-inch deep sandbox, I guess we have some work cut out for us to prove it to you huh? mike Girls only want boyfriends who have great skills--You know, like nunchuk skills, bow-hunting skills, computer-hacking skills.
  4. Damn, you're right again. I guess the large amounts of casein, yeast extract, thioglycollate broth and peptone Iraq imported since 1991 were because they were trying to find the cure for cancer, huh? mike Girls only want boyfriends who have great skills--You know, like nunchuk skills, bow-hunting skills, computer-hacking skills.
  5. Research how many kids are killed in Afghanistan by 25-year-old mines. Most weapons do not have a shelf life like a loaf of bread. mike Girls only want boyfriends who have great skills--You know, like nunchuk skills, bow-hunting skills, computer-hacking skills.
  6. yeah, you're right. 100,000 dead kurds weren't really dead at all. They were play acting. hmmmm why this then? mike Girls only want boyfriends who have great skills--You know, like nunchuk skills, bow-hunting skills, computer-hacking skills.
  7. How about from the CIA? Unbiased enough for you? David Kay's Testimony. mike Girls only want boyfriends who have great skills--You know, like nunchuk skills, bow-hunting skills, computer-hacking skills.
  8. yeah, guess not. I can tell you that I have at least one friend who is very happy that whatever Iraqi engineer put the Sarin into the two mortars that exploded near him didn't know a thing about mixing Sarin with a binary agent to prevent it from burning up with the explosion. mike Girls only want boyfriends who have great skills--You know, like nunchuk skills, bow-hunting skills, computer-hacking skills.
  9. That statement has been proven to be correct. mike Girls only want boyfriends who have great skills--You know, like nunchuk skills, bow-hunting skills, computer-hacking skills.
  10. ... and if you can keep the jacket on the bullet, you may get to fire about 30 rounds before throat erosion renders the barrel unserviceable. mike Girls only want boyfriends who have great skills--You know, like nunchuk skills, bow-hunting skills, computer-hacking skills.
  11. I started pulling down the front risers for landing(after a canopy control course and input from my mentor, a pro swooper) at around 35 jumps on a silhouette 210 @ 1.1:1. I progressed to 45s and 90s, until I came to realize I didn't like the positive recovery arc--the same positive recovery arc that helped me out early on. I downsized and went on from there. I believe starting HP landings on a larger canopy was a great benefit to me, because if I screwed up (and we all screw up at one time or another), I had a big-ass canopy above my head to soften the blow. It's about schools of thought, and I like the school that says "if you're hell-bent on swooping, start at the right time (earlier, rather than later, but with instruction) under a forgiving canopy." mike Girls only want boyfriends who have great skills--You know, like nunchuk skills, bow-hunting skills, computer-hacking skills.
  12. Blam! I finally agreed with Kallend in this forum! Confetti is falling and the angels are crying! That is the one thing that bothers me about Bush: He cannot correctly pronounce the one thing that could end the world, which he has total power over. Still, not changing my vote. Some folks say "Warshington." mike Girls only want boyfriends who have great skills--You know, like nunchuk skills, bow-hunting skills, computer-hacking skills.
  13. I enjoy his thick, wavy, salt-n-pepper hair. I also admire his big long teeth, which look like they began life in the mouth of a horse. Well, I don't like them when he's lying through them, so I guess I don't like them often. mike Girls only want boyfriends who have great skills--You know, like nunchuk skills, bow-hunting skills, computer-hacking skills.
  14. I mentioned earlier that there is a company building HK 91s in the US on HK-licensed machenery bought from Portugal. These things are NOT clones. They are the real deal, but they just don't have the hk proofmarks. Anyway, it's J.L.D. Enterprises. mike Girls only want boyfriends who have great skills--You know, like nunchuk skills, bow-hunting skills, computer-hacking skills.
  15. Kinda true, kinda not. Either way, I would not own one. To the best of my knowledge, Vulcan Arms assembles rifles from other's parts. I believe the AK and HK receivers are Hesse. (IIRC, the owner of Vulcan's name is Hesse.) Hesse receivers are, in fact, American, but considered garbage more often than not. The parts are a mix of some import and some American. The price point is wicked high. As for their AR-style rifles, I believe Bushmaster is supplying the receivers. Not sure about the Mac origins. On a different note, from what I am gathering, Bulgarian Arsenal is teaming up with K-VAR to begin making "US-made" AKs on new, Bulgarian stamped receivers, as the AWB sunsets. They'll be building pre-ban configurations in the US. Currently, Arsenal is known for milled, single stack guns. The stamped receivers will be imported as single-stacks and then milled open for double. The price point will probably be around where the current line of single-stacks are now. It'll be interesting to see what comes of this. mike Girls only want boyfriends who have great skills--You know, like nunchuk skills, bow-hunting skills, computer-hacking skills.
  16. Actually, the egg came before the chicken in this case. The HK91 is a CETME clone. After WWII, the german designers of the German Assault Weapons fled to Spain, taking with them their designs. They created the CETME, and returned to Germany several years later and created the HK91/G3 for the Germans. mike Girls only want boyfriends who have great skills--You know, like nunchuk skills, bow-hunting skills, computer-hacking skills.
  17. Having been on the recieving end as well, at about 30 ft., I am just happy they are about as accurate as a slingshot. mike Girls only want boyfriends who have great skills--You know, like nunchuk skills, bow-hunting skills, computer-hacking skills.
  18. At least it looks like it has a decent cartridge. I'd be very interested in the terminal ballistics of that cartridge. mike Girls only want boyfriends who have great skills--You know, like nunchuk skills, bow-hunting skills, computer-hacking skills.
  19. Because nobody want's more lethal guns on the street spraying bullets. mike Girls only want boyfriends who have great skills--You know, like nunchuk skills, bow-hunting skills, computer-hacking skills.
  20. AK-47s are not part of the so-called "assault weapons" ban. They were part of an import ban enacted about 5 years earlier. Any AK variant on the market has been remanufactured with at least 10 US parts (Century Arms), but no US company is making them from the ground up, to my knowledge. There is a comany that is manufacturing HK-91s on US soil on Portuguese tooling licensed by HK. The name escapes me, but they also plan on building HK-94s and 93s. IIRC, the price-point is at or around $1k for the 91s. mike Girls only want boyfriends who have great skills--You know, like nunchuk skills, bow-hunting skills, computer-hacking skills.
  21. DING DING DING DING We have a winner! Jeffrey gets the boobie prize!!! (sorry, I was excited and I figured this thread needed boobies) mike Girls only want boyfriends who have great skills--You know, like nunchuk skills, bow-hunting skills, computer-hacking skills.
  22. I did all the full-auto I really needed when I was in. I still get to play a lot because of my job. I really don't feel the need for full auto, because I like to make each shot count-like it's its own match, or that my life depends on each one. I do seem to have an abundance of .223, and in an imperfect world, it's only 1 hacksaw blade and 30 minutes away... mike Girls only want boyfriends who have great skills--You know, like nunchuk skills, bow-hunting skills, computer-hacking skills.
  23. Actually, I believe it was Kalifornia's ban that served as the model for the rest of the country. It didn't work there, so it's no surprise that it's a failure throughout the country. mike Girls only want boyfriends who have great skills--You know, like nunchuk skills, bow-hunting skills, computer-hacking skills.
  24. Of licensed hunters in the US, the figures I have seen have been about 15 million (in 2000). The total active duty military strength was measured at 1.38 million that year. mike Girls only want boyfriends who have great skills--You know, like nunchuk skills, bow-hunting skills, computer-hacking skills.
  25. SHHHHHHHHHHHhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.... I thought that was a secret. I am hungry, by the way. mike Girls only want boyfriends who have great skills--You know, like nunchuk skills, bow-hunting skills, computer-hacking skills.
