I'm happy to report that the MP5K with the forced reset trigger is every bit as fun as it sounds. With a suppressor, even supersonic rounds are hearing safe. I'm getting a new locking piece to slow it down a bit, since there were a few feed issues, but 31 rounds in less than 2 seconds sure does put a smile on your face. I also have to accept that 30 years of watching henchmen in movies missing the protagonist with a barrage of machine gun fire might have actually been remarkably accurate for Hollywood 🤣😂

At the risk of being told "no shit": Kimber warranty service is terrible. I bought a long slide 10mm double stack 1911 (DS Warrior LS) mainly since a 6 inch barreled 2011 in 10mm seems comically fun. But their new 2011s seemed to be getting good reviews, so I figured I'd give em a try. It didn't run. over the course of 100 rounds, it would three point jam once per magazine (maybe 2 out of 3 magazines) give or take. So I RMA'd it. They found a feed ramp that was not in spec and said the pistol woul need a new barrel, and I would have to pay for it (no chance). Their justification was "the modification/polishing apparent on the barrel is not consistent with any work we perform at the factory." On the phone the rep said it would never have got out of their (paraphrase) looking like that. Basically, they don't make mistakes. I had the gun store verify with the distributer that the gun was in fact new, and hadn't been a test gun or something. Brand new. So basically one of their techs fucked this thing up, and QC missed it, and I'm left holding the bag. Since they will never get another dime of my money, I'll probably spend a bunch more to get a legit smith to build something cool. So don't buy Kimber. They're just as shit as ever. Que the "no shit sherlock" responses. I deserve them.

Recieved from a Japanese student today, frigin hilarious.

I knew it would take .69 seconds for you to get butthurt.

the VP maybe? 🤷‍♂️

Suspected shooter’s social media posts show shift from video games to political rage "Investigators believe that the posts, as well as information taken from multiple electronic devices seized over the past few days, show Allen’s animosity towards Trump and his administration, sources familiar with the investigation told CNN." "Last month, the account posted to accuse Trump of being a “traitor” to the United States." "shared posts comparing President Donald Trump to Adolf Hitler" This story sounds so familiar, now where else have I seen this...🧐

Doubtful if basic type ratings with no significant hours behind them mean a whole lot anymore. Remember those times long ago when Southwest demanded a 73 type rating and FedEx, etc. would slap you in a quick sim; therefore, many were getting a few hours in types to prepare - that’s gone to the wayside like the Dodo bird. Remember when 4 year degrees were a thing… Those delineator’s are long gone it would seem. My interview at Giant is waaaay different this past decade from almost 15 years ago and it still fluctuates depending upon who is driving the train or upsets that have occurred from within. Timing is everything especially for those who hit the front end of the hiring wave and ran up the seniority flag pole quite rapidly. It’s rather slow comparatively for now, but this is a cyclic industry no doubt. Brabus is on point, your military flying career significantly outweighs anything the airlines or I do now regarding air/land only routines. Easiest gig ever when personal cost vs pay vs pressure analysis is weighed overall.

I heard one report that stated the attacker fired one round of buckshot at close range that impacted the one Secret Service Agent in the chest and he returned fire - five rounds? Injured Secret Service agent fired five shots at Cole during Trump assassination attempt"An injured U.S. Secret Service officer fired five shots at a gunman who was allegedly attempting to assassinate President Donald Trump during an attack on the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner Saturday evening. Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche said the officer was struck by a firearm in the chest but was protected by a ballistic vest and returned fire five times, before the 31-year-old suspect Cole Tomas Allen fell to the ground."

Wasn’t the C-146 used to transport spec ops teams?

Atttorney general confirmed he tripeed and was shot at 5 times by one officer with no impacts. The agent that was shot might have taken one of the 5 shots....ballistics pending. Probably not too hard at this point to determine what shot him due to the shotgun the dude had. Looking like friendly fire.

Ah yes, the "skin on the line" defense. The second cousin of the wookie defense.

Big difference, he quite literally put his own skin on the line. I say let him keep it.

That's my assumption. If you look at the video where he runs by, everybody draws their gun and just stands there pointing him in the same direction. They aren't running or moving after him. So I'm wondering if he just ran straight into a closed door or a wall, or just tripped. But I suspect if he had been running down the hall or into other rooms, they would have been in Hot pursuit. They didn't look stunned, other than the initial second or two, they looked like they were all watching him to see what the fuck he was doing.

You did. Also the fantasy land of ONLY shooting them. Hitting everyone else with center mass to vest shots with buckshot because its safer. We're lucky it's currently only the crazies trying to pull this off. Also, how does this guy not have holes in him? Did he just fall to the ground immediately after blasting with his shotty?

Did I read it correctly? Everyone in the administration was a target but Kash Patel?

His 'manifesto' was hilarious in a utopian viewpoint

Did you watch the video? Full sprint with a shot to center mass. Thank God the agent had armor on because that was a hell of a shot. 31 years old. Crazy to think you can be that indoctrinated at such a normally-stable age

Maybe its time to put Trump in a bubble. You know, for his own protection. 😁 Standby for the usual gnashing, blame, and churn on Secret Service, staff, DC LEOs, etc. The dude was stopped tho.

Yeah, I agree with him the radical left is a massive threat. They’ve proven it time and time again at all levels of society - why are you silent on it? By the way, two things can be true; you can ancknowledge all of this while also not liking Trump or his policies.
