  Drones zooming around the Deserts of the Middle East is one thing, hundreds of them in the congested airspace of the US is another. Just wait for the cover up when one hits an airliner or private aircraft!

  I would say from his stance he is trap shooting not skeet…and compensated barrels with holes drilled in top near muzzle are common in competition guns is common.

• Sen. Feinstein Posts Proposed ‘Assault Weapons’ Legislation — and It Includes Provisions on Handguns and ‘Grandfathered’ Weapons

  Especially for idiots likd “EncinoM” if you live in Encino, or most anywhere in the already “assault rifle” free state of California. Read how long it takes a 911 cell phone call to get you any help against an armed criminal:

• Man Who Shot Firefighters Left Note Saying He Wanted to ‘Do What I Like Doing Best, Killing People’

  If you want another shock, just go to your state website showing just the registered sex-offenders in your zip code. I live in a small, 14,000 resident town in rural California and there are 21 registered sex offenders in my area…..how many other turned loose mental patients, unknown…

• Here’s What It Looks Like to Shoot a Pistol Under Water

  October 1, 2012 at 3:47pm

  This is dangerous information to put out, only certain pistols with certain bullets, (like the Glock pictured with hard ball, military bullet) have been tested underwater without blowing up. It’s why the seals use it. The Glock has a firing pin modification called the maritime spring cups. Which lets the intruding water get by the pin during striker fall, after exiting water.

  Trained personnel who use Glocks underwater know they must obey several rules:
  1) use only a Glock Model 17 with amphibious spring cups (reliability issue);
  2) use only 9mm FMJ subsonic, sealed primer ammo;
  3) completely immerse the pistol and get *all* the air out of the barrel;
  4) wear protective ear plugs, gloves, wet suit, face mask, etc.;
  5) do not fire near solid objects or in enclosed spaces to prevent return
  concussion.

  However, any Glock — even those not equipped with maritime spring cups — will normally fire while submersed underwater. But doing so may generate excessive internal pressure and may cause the pistol to literally blow up. This is especially true with the use of high-pressure rounds (such as the .40 S&W/357 SIG) or hollow-point bullets.

  I recall a reported incident where a Glockster on a boating holiday decided to show some friends how his Glock would fire underwater (because Tommy Lee Jones said so in the movies). He stuck his hand overboard, pulled the trigger and came back with a bunch of shredded plastic and a badly injured hand.

• Bank of America Allegedly Drops McMillan Gun Company For ‘Political’ Reasons

  April 24, 2012 at 11:37pm

  In reply to the_system_disconnect.

  Just emailed BofA to cancel my $ 25,000 credit line, and gave them the reason!!
  McMillian was heavily envolved with the development of one our military’s most accurate Sniper rifles, the M-40 That history alone, makes BofA’s action Un-American to me.
  “As the military sniper grew in importance in the Vietnam War, the USMC came to McMillan to upgrade its issue sniper rifle. Accuracy and point of impact were unsatisfactory because the wood stock they were using performed poorly in wet jungle conditions. Gale McMillan, founder of the McMillan companies, worked with the USMC in 1975 to develop the HTG fiberglass stock and refine the bedding techniques which were emerging on the competitive benchrest circuit. The rifle was designated the M40A1 and the new rifle went on to revolutionize the modern tactical rifle.”

• 27 Rifles Stolen from California Military Base, ATF Didn’t Tell Public for Two Weeks

  July 30, 2011 at 9:27pm

  In reply to RepubliCorp.

  I’m sure the AK-74′s are for familiarization with enemies arms, however from expert opinion:

  “The troubled old M16 platform has had its problems from the beginning. A design mired in the late 1950′s, Jim Sullivan of the original design team has denounced it. Mr Sullivan has commented, “They’re right exactly where they were when we gave them the M-16 in 1960. They haven’t advanced an inch. That AK-74 out-hits the M-16 by two to one on full automatic.” The U.S. Army’s own testing, provoked by the efforts of Senator Tom Coburn, showed that the current M4 finished dead last in sandstorm reliability testing versus three other rifles. The M4 had more stoppages in the November, 2007 test then all three of the other rifles combined.”
