Wat's Guns-N-Stuff Thread

[Wat_Tyler]

So you're saying that this hypothetical would never happen?

Neat.

I said no such thing.

Did you miss the word "Army" in the post I replied to?

Army. Armies. Fight in woods sometimes. See Vietnam , for example. Lots of trees. Enemies hide behind trees sometimes, taking cover.

Frankly, I kind of enjoy some recoil. It reminds you of what you're doing.

It brings a form of rhythm, a measured regularity, to the shooting cycle. It can be comforting when one is tightly slung up in a strong sitting position when after the shot you're rocked backward and see your front sight blade rocking back down to six o'clock on the bull every time. Properly locked in one can almost shut their eyes when shooting the 300-meter D target in sitting rapid fire.

And when you can see your pulse in the movement of the front sight. Recoil is the same thing but slightly more. It should have a pace.

Yep, the curse of the sling on the bicep. A real timing light.

Good shooting coats and gloves help with that.

A good reason to take up a bit of Zen.

If you're going to be a good precision shooter that's exactly what you do.

And if you don't, you'll be the same damned shooter you always were.


It is always nice to make sure that the rifle and the ammo are as good as possible. I was always confident that any 9 was me . . . .

That could be turned into a TV reality show. It would be far more realistic than The Apprentice.

 

[VinnyVeritas]

I knew how to shoot before I knew Zen, then again, proper shooting is Zen-adjacent.

As are so very many things, like keeping one's life simple.


When you can snatch the empty shell casing from my hand . . . .

What happened to catching the hot lead with your chopsticks?

What happened to catching the hot lead with your chopsticks?

You know, I don't know . . . .

 

[VinnyVeritas]

I prefer bamboo chopsticks.

They are a tad bit more fire-retardant and have a little natural give, bend but don't break, to them.

 

[Wat_Tyler]

I prefer a big spoon. Kinda like spray-n-pray.

 

[VinnyVeritas]

I have an Eastern European pray-and-spray in my gun-safe collection.

 

[Wat_Tyler]

As do I. And a couple thousand rounds of "food" for it.

 

[VinnyVeritas]

It's what's on the menu here to just like Wat's menu options.

 

[Chobham]

I'm down to a few hundred for my little beast but that'll change soon enough.

Steel case from some place with a name like Tula.


I knew a woman named Tuula once. Bat shit crazy. Hated Wat like the plague. Miss her like syphilis.

 

[VinnyVeritas]

"Too"

Not to or two. Maybe spellcheck needs to be grandma check...

My mantle clock's innards are .38 Special.

It's for Saturday nights.

Get a little action in.


Day However-Many of living with defective firearms. I woke up again. Guns didn't kill me.


Again . . . .
