  1. Live every day like it's your last, boys.
  2. "with the distinctive qualities of a stealth design" Black paint?

    If you are looking for an AR-style .22 made by Umarex I'd go with the Colt M4 Ops for ~$50 less.

    None of you people notice that those jets are from an F-5 demo team? Probably the Turkish Stars. Check 2:10 on the first video. https://www.flybynigh...ationteams.html ETA: Better 7-ship pic here

    Sort of like a Strike Eagle.
  6. Nothing about an Aaphid up the arsehole or having their bollocks shot away?
  7. I wonder if the first half of this book will be about Buds like every other SEAL book ever written.
  8. New wars are fun. They start to suck when they drag on. We'd beat Iran's ass pretty quick, so hopefully we'd be out of there before the E-9s show up.
  9. Green boots look great.
  10. Why would you put that on another man's bumper?

    Somebody needs to slap that girl's parents.

    These damn kids and their rock music.

    I kept hoping that she was the one that got fired for pouring boiling chicken grease in that dickhead's lap.

    I'm kind of disappointed that I've never been that stoked about anything.

    This about sums up the whole argument. Nostalgia vs data.
  16. So you wouldn't attack him if you were unarmed, you wouldn't shoot him if you were armed, you wouldn't run away but you would roll up either? What course of action does that leave? Doing nothing. Which is exactly what happened in Colorado (and Virginia Tech). We don't have to wargame that COA to see how it turns out - it ends with at least 12 people dead and 50 wounded and the shooter having a smoke in the parking lot until the cops show up. Holmes didn't stop killing people until he decided to stop - the death toll could have been much higher. And you're main concern is not making it worse? I'm not advocating a lone hero going mano a mano with the shooter. My problem is with the passive victim mentality that has pervaded our culture. I mean, here we've got a FIGHTER pilot who says he wouldn't do anything to stop the shooter even if you had a gun! The lone gunman mass murder scenario will cease to be a viable tactic once enough people realize that the only way to counter the threat is with a group attack. The people on Flight 93 figured it out instantly and changed everything we think about airline hijacking scenarios. The same thing needs to happen with the active shooter tactic.
  17. So in this situation would you recommend pushing people out of the way so you can get out the door or would you roll into the fetal position and wait for someone with some courage to save you?
  18. You've got your whole life to prepare. The people on Flight 93 were the first to realize that if a plane is high-jacked you have to fight. Now any potential high-jacker knows they will be opposed by the passengers. But in mass shooting scenarios like Virginia Tech, Norway, and this latest guy the shooter goes unopposed for as long as they have ammo. People would rather get shot in the back than try to stop the guy.
  19. The issue in the crowd isn't about CCW, it's about someone deciding that the best chance for survival is forward, not towards the exits.
  20. 1 legacy and 1 lucked into a super-sponsor. Normal fighter hours. Good luck.
  21. I have 2 buds from the Viper at FedEx within the last 6 months.

    Well, if money is no object then get a Schmidt and Bender Short Dot. And a better gun.

    Get a Millet DMR 1-4 and spend the savings on ammo and training.
