Pinging Slow Man

So somebody in Jim family owns a gun. Right wing nitwits are supposed to own their own guns - that way, if they happen to experience a suicidal though, they can blow their brains out before they've had time to have second - less suicidal - thoughts.

I'm disappointed. I'm going to have to rely on Jim eating or drinking himself to death.

What's with the handle on the barrel? Looks superfluous.

Well. The barrel does get hot.

That's strange. It has a sheath.

Magazine. The M-1 Garand used a clip.

"Magazine", no?

I've not seen it first-hand. I think it's finned for heat dissipation..

Sorry, I'm not gun literate :-( The son is. He promises to arm and train me shortly. (I was a good shot as a kid, but haven't had any practice since.) ...Jim Thompson

It's called a vertical foregrip, makes it more of a combat assault rifle fo= r quick reaction situations where the rifle cannot actually be aimed but mu= st be slewed quickly and pointed at a target from the shoulder or hip. It's= also supposed to give better control in automatic mode where the barrel wi= ll attempt to rise up off the aimpoint, but that shouldn't be a considerati= on here. It is not a good rifle for a desert environment or any place where there is= a lot of grit blowing around in the air.

That barrel will melt before you feel any heat on that handguard.

That barrel is probably the only thing stiff in the house.

An M1 carbine would suffice for sloman.

All you have proven is the mailman has been very busy.

Hell, a cap or water pistol would do the job.

How appropriate that you post from the best know troll news server.

I always thought that Altopia claimed that dubious honor.

AIOE doesn't charge you to troll.

I blanket killfile AIOE, except for a couple of white-listed people. ...Jim Thompson
