Indeed. I've never seen a rabbit-wrangler not use a bridle before saddling. Fuckers can bite and kick like a bitch too...

How fucking stupid do you have to be to put a handgun to your face and pull the trigger for "fun"? Fucking idiot, I've no sympathy. Anyone playing with a gun deserves whatever happens to them.

This is why you pull the magazine and jack the slide. Even if you're "sure" there isn't a shell in the chamber. All guns are loaded all the time, even when they're lying on the table in pieces.
Yeah well that's just, like, your opinion, man.

Except the idiot didn't die so he can still piss in the gene pool. Should get a Darwin Award Honorable Mention though.

Hurricane Katrina. 10 things to learn from it.

1. THE CALM
Not a single visual of chest-beating or wild grief. Sorrow itself has been
elevated.

2. THE DIGNITY
Disciplined queues for water and groceries. Not a rough word or a crude
gesture.

3. THE ABILITY
The incredible architects, for instance. Buildings swayed but didn’t fall.

4. THE GRACE
People bought only what they needed for the present, so everybody could get
something.

5. THE ORDER
No looting in shops. No honking and no overtaking on the roads. Just
understanding.

6. THE SACRIFICE
Fifty workers stayed back to pump sea water in the N-reactors. How will they
ever be repaid?

7. THE TENDERNESS
Restaurants cut prices. An unguarded ATM is left alone. The strong cared for
the weak.

8. THE TRAINING
The old and the children, everyone knew exactly what to do. And they did
just that.

9. THE MEDIA
They showed magnificent restraint in the bulletins. No silly reporters. Only
calm reportage.

10. THE CONSCIENCE
When the power went off in a store, people put things back on the shelves
and left quietly

lol @ antimateriel.

When I was going through basic training the drill sergeants told us that it was illegal to use the .50 cal on personnel. But it was perfectly legal to use it on equipment . . . like LBE straps(basically suspenders), canteens, belts, helmets, etc.

Hey Ksen you are here ! as too the pic I think both the Canadians and the South Africans have 20 mm rifles . It may seem like over kill to shoot a body with one BUT If that one body is in charge of a mortar group dropping HE through the roofs of your camp then it does make a point !

think the Russians started the idea with a 14mm anti tank rifle ?

The British had an anti-tank rifle at the start of WW2 - I think it was the Boys Rifle, or something like that... My Dad was in the Territorials in the late 30s, and told me he fired one once...

"Knocked me arse over tit" he said... :lol:

The army soon dropped it, not effective against panzers...
