Ka-BLAM! New rifle!

I can barely lift a #$%^& FAL, and a SOCOM is still unwieldy. But I just do not like the little old 223 and have been bearing with an AK. At least it's free and so are the bullets.

Finally!

The Kel Tec peeps have announced a bullpup 308.

It looks like shooting it is like a shiatsu for the shoulder. My tiny self will be bouncing off the deck, what fun!

Here's a range partner I'd like to shoot with!

But not trade outfits.

Wuss Pope!

If the Pope were serious, he wouldn’t have apologized first would he? When the riots started he would have said

“Tough. I’m the pope of Catholics. I meant what I said, our God is the real God. You people are going to hell. Plus you are stupid, you can’t even firebomb the right church. Look for a sign that says

“C-A-T-H-O-L-I-C”,

raghead. Real bad asses, too. Shooting an old nun nurse in the back. WOOO, I’m SO SCARED.”


But no, "I'm sorry if I OFFENDED anybody. That's what the true faith is about now, being inoffensive. It's right there in the Bible, the meek shall inherit the earth. I want to be the Meekness pope."

I've been away and focused on other stuff, sorry for the light posting. Back to monday night range reports in 4 days.

Full Auto Range Report As Promised!

4 words-

A K Forty Seven

So I went to the hot sandy range. "Here you go!" And I was handed a nice clean Romanian folding stock AK, 1971 production.



3 more-

Unlimited Free Ammo.

"Load up over there." A big stack of ham cans of ammo. Russian or Bulgarian (I can't read Cyrillic), 1969.

2 more-

No Cleanup.

Hold on, I am misting up. Better now.

I'd shot a wood stock AK before, but there were a couple of things about this one that gave me pause. The folding steel stock had a sharp looking steel buttplate. And the rear sling swivel fitting was on the right rear of the receiver. So I figured between the stock on my shoulder and the swivel in my nose, I would take a beating.

So I loaded up some magazines and got ready to go. (I know, no loading lackeys. I must advise the management...)

I snuggled right in, and POW! Hmm, no broken nose, shoulder feels fine. POW! Still unwounded.

POW! POW! POW! Still fine...

So I fired off 60 rounds. Fun! It's strange the rubbery feel that an AK has, the trigger and recoil both give a feeling of being spring loaded. My target was not very meaningful as it was only 50 yards and I was not trying very hard. But I would have hit a hajji every time. Plus, there's that other switch position...

Which, by the way, is strange to me. The AK safety lever is copied from John Browning, but it goes Safe- Full- Semi. Back asswards from every other safety in the world.

So I loaded up a few more, and went back to the line. I was sensible, the first couple of magazines were 5, then 10, then 15. Miss Cautious, that's me.

Again I snuggled close...

POWBOUNCEPOWBOUNCEPOWBOUNCEPOWBOUNCEPOWBOUNCE!

Talk about rubbery, full auto means that is amplified way up. The thing like bucks in your hands, jumping and climbing. On full auto I couldn't hit very well, out of 5 I'd have a couple in the hit zone.

But practice makes better, and by the 6th or 7th magazine I was doing alright. I could control 5ish shot bursts reasonably well out of a 30 rounder.

But really, it's not for precision firing is it?

Load Load Load Load...

So I just started burning ammo. I was shooting from a crouchy hip position, and to start with I didn't even use a target. I picked out a nice dusty wall and used the puffs to aim, like it was a garden hose. I found recoil much more bearable, I could get into a rhythm and push back correctly against the bouncing. This thing definitely does its job, which is after all to let poorly trained draftees throw lots of bullets at the enemies of the Rodina.

Also it has really good power for what it is. It just chews through sandbags, cinder blocks, car engines, what have you.

Conclusions?

This was fun. All range sessions should be so enjoyable.

If I were taking a rifle downtown, I can't think of one I'd rather have. It's WAY better than an M16, because of the power and compact size. A bullpup .223 is smaller still, but I admit I like the heftier cartridge. I don't like the gimcrack feel of the trigger, but that's just because I'm used to better quality. The rifle altogether is well built and solid, no toylike feel like a 16. It certainly shoots just fine within urban ranges.

Not out in the country because past 100 yards it's just not a reliable hitter because of the rotten trigger.

Shame they don't come in a bullpup. And please, a wider buttplate, and that swivel still makes me nervous even though it didn't break my nose. My delicate shoulder was purple the next day.

Weird factlet- one of my fellow shooters that day was anothe American who had been in Vietnam. I thought it was strange that here he was, shooting a rifle and ammo that had been made to kill him. Just for fun. Enjoying the dustbin of history, Vladmir Ilyich?

Fun thing- after I shot the hell out of it, throwing the smoking sizzling thing down on the pile and picking up another one to burn out.

I'll post the pictures tonight.

Fatwa me, ragheads!

I can't draw, but fuck Mohammed ( pork be up him ) with a pig's corkscrew dick.

The hell with all this religious stupidity.

All of it. Moslems who would rather burn an Embassy than build a school. Cardinals who provide shelter for child raping priests. Christians who are so upset over what goes in an actor's ass that they won't see a movie that portrays their faith in action. Jews who claim a unique God given right to possess a particular stretch of dirt. Inquisitors,imams, shamans, the lot.

Believe what you want, but leave everyone who doesn't share your belief the hell alone.

And MAINLY, the hell with EVERY CHICKENSHIT COMMENTATOR AND POLITICIAN WHO DOESN"T STAND UP AND SAY THE DANISH NEWSPAPERS CAN PRINT WHATEVER THEY WANT.

English police are pansies!

They set up secret cameras in the locker room, and the worst thing they could catch cops calling a criminal was "pond life"????

Wonder what they called their supervisors? The nicest thing I ever heard an American police woman call a judge was "goat fucker".

Good thing they don't have guns, if they can't even manage to say bastard.


  • A DETECTIVE is facing disciplinary action by his force for referring to a career criminal as “pondlife” in a private conversation with another officer.


  • Their criminals aren't any better. I'd hate to be the convict who complained that he was "bullied". New bitch in the cell block!

  • Ms Owers' report on the category B local prison said more than a third of prisoners had felt unsafe at some time, and that rose to 43% for ethnic minorities.

    Inmates also reported high levels of bullying, from staff as well as other prisoners.

    Just for Hamza's murdering ass!


    Apropos of the story that the British prisons are paying a nurse $60,000 to wipe his ass, do they use this product?

    Do they have no criminal nurses to whom the task could be assigned?

    Hiatus until mid December.

    But here's a joke, what's the difference between a Christian inflatable love doll and an Arabic one?

    You have to blow up the Christian one yourself.

    Allah fubar. Back in December.

    Watching "over there"

    I watched it last week. Bochco is really good when he hits. I cant believe they canceled Brooklyn South.

    This is a miss though. The first one had some dumb stuff. My faves were the flags on backwards on the sleeves and the Somme style exit from the trench into fire.

    Wounded always make me cry.

    Army would have contacted wife first.

    What's the deal with accents? The southern guy is dumb, the ghetto guy is violent, everybody else is from la. Can't they find actors from chicago or maine? Wait- is the smart guy from canada?

    Fighting on sentry duty? Who's in the car, a nun?

    The sgt takes his EYES OFF THE CAR ?????

    I think the cracker actor and his father are both faking, like they cant get actors really from down south.

    Would have contacted wife first and in person.

    The twa corbies!

    Damn I hate commercials.

    Smart guy is wearin hin hamas scarf.

    "unit"? Buddies, platoon, but unit?

    wtf army is this, beau geste? water shortage? No resupply?

    GASP !!! THE NNNNN WORRRRRDDDD....... my ears just exploded !

    And this hippie music, this is a vietnam movie set in iraq. Director's hippie music.

    Is 2 senators a circle jerk?

    So I happen to land on cspan yesterday and there's Dick Turban. He says (mol) "...so could that 10 year old boy sue the gun dealer who sold the gun illegally? You have read the bill, will it?"

    He's obviously talking about the pending bill which protects gun makers from frivolous lawsuits. So I wait for the slap from whoever he's asking, explaining that the bill doesn't prevent such a suit.

    They cut over to Reed of Rhode Island, a big anti gunner.

    "Why no, senator, it won't. No matter what badness a gun dealer does he is exempt."

    "How terrible. Tell me, Honorable Senator From Rhode Island, isn't it true that most of the straw sales are made by a minority of dealers?"

    "That is correct, Senator. What an unexpected question. In fact in your very own State of Illinois, 47 dealers accounted for 3 or more of the 288 guns traced to crime, a mere 1.62% of Illinois gun dealers."

    "Thank you, Honorable Senator From Rhode Island, for that information. I had no idea, I have done no research. Since 542 guns traced from 16 dealers in Mississippi were traced to 28 homicides and 86 robberies in Chicago, won't this bill prevent that"?

    "O no, Honorable Senator From Illinois, it will do nothing of the kind. All it will do is prevent victims like 19 year old Demetrius Brown of 300 Washington Street in Chicago from having his day in court."

    Etc, etc. It was just silly. I hope this is some bullshit parliamentary requirement for the stupid fakey question answer format. If not then they think we are morons. They aren't far wrong as to 51% of Rhode Islanders and Illinoisians who voted for these clowns.

    Official Helen Thomas Challenge Site

    I had a link from Sondra K, my internet heroine!

    She also posts that the crazy Arab Helen Thomas says she will kill herself if VP Cheney runs for president. Big talk, old cow.

    We could make it happen! We could raise the filing fee and send in a petition with enough signatures! I will collect the money and do the work if any one is interested.

    Then we can mock and degrade her, send her rope in the mail, put her phone on the suicide prevention do not call list.

    BLAM!

    I forgot to tell about shooting the surprise rifle. When I went to the range there were some people frpm a Famous Law Enforcement Agency at one end of the ranke shooting m16s. Thats why I had to use the pistol end. There is a building between the sides of the range.

    It was just me on my side, so I pulled the rifle out and stuck in a clip. I was careful of my delicate thumb, but no need to because the bolt was stopped by the first cartridge and needed a push. Not even a chipped nail.

    Take aim, and BLAM!

    I have shot full caliber rifles before, so I braced for a jolt, but it wasn't bad. I pulled in real tight. It didn't even bruise my porcelain shoulder.

    So BLAM! tinkle BAM! tinkle BLAM! tinkle BLAM! tinkle BLAM! tinkle BLAM! tinkle

    and, BLAMZING! tinkle

    PING! OW!

    The clip lands on my head! I looked up and all the FLEA agents had gathered around behind me with these dumb(er than usual for men) expressions. "What IS that?"

    I let them shoot it and you would have thought It was a cannon. "Ow!" "That thing kicks!" "Once is enough!" They offered to let me shoot an m16, but I said "No, I'm not into little guns." It was very fun. I ended up shooting 10 clips and they think I am all bad ass.

    Fourth of July Surprise Rifle!




    This is my great uncle Alfred. His brother Sam was killed at Oahu on December 7, 1941. Alfred joined the Army sometime before that, and this picture was taken on his last leave home. On the back it says, "Alfred, just commissioned July 4 '42." He was a Lieutenant in the infantry.

    He landed in North Africa on the first day of the invasion. He fought through that campaign and landed in France in June of 1944. He fought all through the rest of the war against Germany, finishing as a Captain. He was awarded a silver star.

    I remember uncle Alfred as a strong character. When I was very young we visited him and he taught me never to say "I think", because it sounded indecisive. To this day I say "I believe".

    His war experiences he seldom spoke about. He was pretty deaf, and that was a souvenir of battle. I do remember a few tales of his experiences, and one had to do with making his rifle work in the cold winter- he slept with it in his sleeping bag to keep it from freezing. He called it "my 8 shooter teddy bear". I now know that officers were issued carbines but he obviously chose an m1, as many infantry officers did. Carrying the soldiers' rifle made them less obvious targets.

    I've never owned a Garand, and have meant to order one from the CMP. Finally I did, and on the fourth of July...





    I took it to the range to see how well it shoots.





    8 1/2x11 paper. I'm not that good a shot, that is at 40 yards. Still minute of Nazi.





    Minute of Jap, too.





    Everybody forgets the Italians, the first Fascists. So they got an extra shot.


    I noted the serial number,





    and looked closely at the barrel- VERY closely..





    Yes, JULY 1942. This rifle and my Second Lieutenant great uncle were both manufactured the same month. Odds are millions to one that he carried this one, but who knows?

    What a pleasant surprise.

    Went to the range today!

    I plan to post a range report on Tuesdays, a different toy each week. The one today is my newest and pretty special. The men thought so too, they all put down their m16s and gathered around. It was the thing I was shooting that they were staring at and wanted to handle, perverts.

    So more on Tuesday. Meanwhile,

    The USS Iowa BELONGS in San Fran!

    Winston Churchill thinks so!

    “What is naval tradition? It is all rum, sodomy, and the lash.”

    (Not actually his words, but his assistant said it and Churchill later said he wished he had. So there.)

    Tony Blair, bitch of the mullahs.

    I just watched the idiot box news and there was a bit on about the London murderers. All British passport holders, but everyone knew they would be.

    The thing that got me was the big police lines and sawhorses around their houses. They were guarding the families from a vengeful public. There wasn't any vengeful public, there was not a soul. They are so beat down and have so much good sense that they'd never bother those families. But the government is afraid it will look like it's not loyal enough to the mullahs.

    Oh, and poverty causes bombs. Tameer's father just bought him a Benz.

     

    Hajji the big bad terrorist!

    Wooo....

  • http://staghounds.blogspot.com/


  • The BBC post made me think, if Hajji takes the hog dick out of his mouth and wants to get laid, which do you think will get him farther with cousin Fatima? "The BBC says I'm a terrorist", or "The BBC says I'm a woman butcher"?

    Neither! He'll just rape Fatima then have her brothers honor kill the godless slut.

    Calling him a terrorist still makes him feel like a bad ass, so they should stop.
