Which can was he using? The one in question I was looking at is the QDSS-NT4, which is billed at 24oz. The AACs are lighter, but they weigh between 13oz and 18oz, not exactly 1.5lbs lighter. I've only heard good things about the NT4, but to each his own I guess. How did you perceive the performance of the KAC? The other suppressor that the SM556 was made for is the Gemtech HALO, so it's pretty much between those two that I will decide. I'm in no hurry. How did you like the Vickers class? I actually considered signing up for the KH/LAV 1911 Centennial Celebration, but decided against it. The class is full now anyway. It kind of sucks living where I am right now, in terms of attending a class by any of the major companies/guys. It's either an expensive plane ticket or a long ass drive.

Sweet deal. My tax return came in today so I bought a hammer forged 14.5" midlength from Bravo Company tonight. I ordered it with a PWS SM556 permanently attached. I'm going to bite the bullet and buy a KAC suppressor, and the SM556 is compatible. I'm also selling my LWRC upper and will just use the lower I had for that on this new BCM upper. Anyway, pics will follow once I get it. ETA: It looks like you're a BCM whore.

Nice rifle, but why a PRS on a carbine?

Classic movie, but you're old as hell, M2.

Wrought iron buttstock? That think must have been heavy as shit. But that's pretty awesome, and now I want one. ETA: Some videos with more history and them shooting replicas. Pretty awesome.

Even if it were selling for less than the $350 they're asking for it, I'd still probably pass. It's still pretty cool though.

Combat Controller Poser exposed
I don't understand how people like this still think they can get away with this shit, when so many posers have been outed.

The XM25 is a spin-off from the cancelled XM29. It looks like this is supposed to only be fielded 1 per squad.

Swiss gun culture under fire in sunday referendum It's not surprising that we're not the only ones. The one thing I question is that they say storing issued weapons in a militia depot will cut down on gun suicides. While this may or may not end up being true, wouldn't those that are going to go the distance and commit suicide just find another way?

Not related to flying but since you mentioned Greeks in Korea, Outpost Harry was defended by several hundred American and Greek soldiers against about 13,000 Chinese. Wikipedia Link and Outpost Harry Survivors Association- WTF? (**NSFW**)

Stoleit, that is a .50 not a 20mm. The video M2 posted was a 20mm rifle. Rifles with suppressors are still going to produce a crack because the bullet is supersonic, but they do help reduce the sound. The original video M2 posted is actually a suppressed rifle. So I stand corrected. This video is the same type of rifle with what appears to be subsonic ammo and the suppressor... a lot quieter.- Gun Talk
It's a 20mm rifle. I doubt anyone makes a suppressor for it.- Gun Talk
So which one is it? The HK P30 is probably one of the most durable and reliable pistols to date. Sample group of one, but there are few that can match this linky.- Gun Talk
Have you actually fired the Glock? Picking up a gun and saying it doesn't feel good in your hands isn't a really good data point. Ideally you would want to spend A LOT of time with a specific platform shooting it and and learning it's nuances. What makes it uncomfortable? Is it the size of the grip, grip angle, trigger reach, etc? If you still can't stand a Glock, look at the M&P9. It's a little more ergonomic in the grip area. You will be hard pressed to find a new QUALITY handgun at $400. The ones you listed as being interested in are more expensive than that price point. Why do you want the SIG P226 NSW? MSRP is $44 more than a standard SIG P226 for an anchor on the slide.- Gun Talk
Yes, now that I own a Glock again I have no soul.- Gun Talk
Thanks! I like her too. I'm not too concerned about shotguns personally. I own one Remington 870, and I think that's good enough for me. My gun interests lie with Hi-Powers, 1911s, and AR-15s... oh and I'm really enjoying the Glock 17 I bought. That's a sweet setup. You should definitely SBR the Draco.- Gun Talk
It shouldn't matter. ETA: M2, are you going to try and find a Saiga before any buffoonery becomes of this?- WTF? (**NSFW**)
