Duzzy Funlop posted:Anything that takes longer to change than the barrel of an MG42 should not legally be entitled to the designation "quick barrel change". Because America is awesome, that's why  In reality though anything larger than .50 caliber (with blackpowder muskets and such being excepted) is classified as a Destructive Device and is regulated under the NFA, and then consequently by each state. It's prohibitively expensive to buy loving cannons like that, and all your info and fingerprints is with the feds. Not very likely the people that are willing to go through that whole process would do anything nefarious with it. Especially because they're usually rich doctors and poo poo.

I could argue that tech giants like zuck, musk, etc have access to destructive cyber weapons that are far more cost effectiveness than buying a whole warship though. 2017 and all.

I don't know, even if I had gently caress-you money and could afford the most modern and recent rail gun model in the world, I'd spent all my cash on a Schwerer Gustav or poo poo like that.

If a bad guy wants a cannon, he'll sure as poo poo make one himself before buying a WW2 flak gun. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=avh4HMLcyPw

Fun fact: my first proposed college project got shot down because hacking together basic radio communications equipment from scrap is 80% of the way to building remote IED detonators from scrap. Bad guys always find a way. And after talking in the vennesula thread I might restart that project as an intercollegiate program focusing on shortwave radios (already got a PA-CT-MA route setup!). Because I'm starting to care less if the distinction between civilian and military infrastructure is blurred.

Yo rat my dad bought the boots you suggested and loves them. Mind you the pair they replaced was some all leather lowes from when he worked for the national parks in the 70s. Does anyone have a suggestion for suspenders and outdoors belt? I'm going day hiking/fishing want to be able to put fly fishing gear knife etc on a belt and just drop the pack.

 Glad he likes them! From what I've noticed, I get about a 1.5-2ish year life span out of them, but I also wear them for daily wear and not just hiking.

Today was ridiculous. Had a lot of good energy and happened to wake up early, so I rolled up to RMNP and did every lake down Glacier Gorge up to, and past, Black lake. Eight lakes total. Lots of bushwhacking and climbing slopes and other assorted madness. Gimme somma dat mountain goat poo poo. No clue on total mileage since I spent so much time off trail. Around 16ish? Mills lake.  Thought this reflection was neat.   Jewel lake.  Waterfall leading to Shelf lake.  Shelf lake.    Solitude lake.   Black lake, viewed from above.    Black lake, eye level.   Frozen lake. Lives up to its name. Lots of ice, even in late July it can't let it go.   The Spearhead, viewed from the Frozen lake side.  Green lake, viewed from above.  Green lake, eye level.   The Spearhead, Green lake side.  This was taken with my DSLR with wide angle lens, so that really shows that this guy didn't care that I got up close.  Blue lake. Whoever named these was not very creative.  Alberta falls. Taken after Waldo got straight dunked when a branch gave way and it fell in. Thankfully the weight meant no drift. Properly field stripped and dried out since returning home. Not the first time this has happened.

Well I'm doing 3 gun Atlanta next week. I'm going with a buddy and he's borrowing one of my glock 19 and my extra rifle. Only issue we're having is, we had no clue what to sign up for and just randomly picked. After reading the rules, we had to email to be changed to unlimited because both my glocks are stippled. Only thing we're confused about now is how much rounds to bring. I'm searching their site but the only thing I found is this: Minimum Required Rounds Pistol: xx Shot: xx *Shot size 7 1/2 or smaller! Rifle: xx Slugs: xx *No Steel Core or Green Tip! As you can tell, that isn't much help. Should we just bring 3-4 mags of pistol/rifle and two or three boxes of shotgun and hope it's enough?

They probably just haven't finalized the round counts. I'd check back later on.

If it's your average one day 3-gun match, I'd say bring 200 each of rifle/pistol, a box of 100 birdshot and 15 slugs from Walmart and you should have leftovers. Should being the key word. I don't know of any match that would make you burn that much ammo in a day, especially not a regular local match. (I've been using 7.5 birdshot Federal bulk packs of 12ga and those 15rd packs of rifled slugs from Walmart and they've worked well enough.)

Another go at RMNP today. This time did the one-way trail starting from Bear lake and going down to Fern lake/etc and using the shuttle for pickup. Lake Helene. Had an embarrassing moment here that was bound to happen eventually. Thought I was clear, had just finished whipping Waldo out of my pack, and some old dude walks around the corner. He had the biggest "oh poo poo" expression on his face I've seen since Iraq. I tried to smile and explain that it was just for photography and I'm harmless and all that. His basic response was "that's pretty weird, don't let a park ranger see you doing that" before shuffling off. I felt kinda bad. (Though I did explain that it was perfectly legal since I wasn't hunting or shooting anything.)   Notchtop mountain + Grace falls.   Overlooking Odessa lake from a distance.  Odessa lake at eye level.   Fern lake. Pretty bad shot, but to be fair it's not the greatest lake and there were a lot of people around. Had to take what I could get.  MOUNTAIN CHICKEN  Spruce lake.  Waterfall on the way to Loomis lake.  Loomis lake.   Taking a picture of a fish turned out surprisingly difficult.  Fern falls.

I'm not even sure if that's real or if that's just genius-level parody, because if you asked me to parody modern firearm "training" courses that right there is exactly the video that I would make. Brain broke.
