"The BATFE is banning 7.62x25mm ammo because it's used in machine guns." - Sporting Goods clerk at a Wal-mart.

To bad you cant fix Stupid

Ain't that the truth.

I actually told the guy his info was pure BS because if they banned 7.62x25 ammo because of that, they'd have to ban pretty much all ammo because it's used in machine guns as well.

Shhh! Don't give them any ideas!

On Topic: The "sporting purpose" rule.

Winchester dpx and ranger sxt are very close to talons.

Thought dpx are talons only not evil black?

But I like the Evil Black... you know, for my evil black rifle....


Back OT;


Tannerite is illegal... just ordering it can get you ten years in a federal pen...

Guess half of youtube is in deep trouble then....

Like they need my help thinking up crap like that.

On Topic: "Ruger made Mauser rifles during WW2." I really had to try and keep myself from calling the guy an idiot to his face when he told me that. It didn't work.

This goes well beyond emoticons, clear into image macro territory:


That one covers a lot of this thread, actually.

Right after Jared Loughner a good and close friend had this exchange on his facebook page:

Him: "We need to something about all the guns in this country fast. Why doesn't congress get off their buts and do something?"
(not so bad.It's dumb and I obviously disagree, but not worthy of this thread. Yet.)

Some talentless art hag he's friends with:"How about we pass a law that says before you buy a gun, you have to run across the firing line of an active gun range, to experience the threat of gun violence we all live under thanks to you?"
(she's using the generic "you," and obviously trying to be funny, but still...wtf?)

Him: "Better yet, how about a law that says you can have any kind of gun you want, but first you have to experience the kind of wounds you'd like to inflict?"
(absolute face slapping dumbassery, from a guy I usually respect. I'm sad.)

Me: "What if I don't want to inflict any wounds. Can I have a gun then?"

(e-crickets chirp.)

Ok, I got this from a kid, in HS, when I was young-mind you, this was mid 80's, and he was a grade or 2 above me, tops.
His story was that he was in Vietnam (this was when Vietnam became the "cool" war to have been in, all the movies had something about them, etc.). Now, he was born in 68-so, we ALL knew he was a bullshitter. He was just one of those kids. But, I specifically recall a "story" he told, where he said he killed a bunch of people, using a Sten gun-and, that a Sten gun was unique in the firearms world, in that it doesnt shoot bullets, the gun actually chews up the magazine & fires tiny pieces of it. Now, I didnt know much, or ANYTHING, about firearms, when I was young, but I SPECIFICALLY remember that story, all these years later. And, to this day, it sticks with me.

I have a friend with a 10/22 like that

Seriously? We make people go through a hunting exam that's akin to a damn Bachelor's degree, and they still lack any understanding of basic anatomy? It's neither a hollow sphere nor a solid block of flesh.

As a physicist, I must disagree with your assertion regarding the non-sphericity of ungulates. The spherical cow model is widely applied throughout physics, engineering, and numerous other disciplines[1] and has recently been empirically verified[2]:

As we know that ungulates generally share a common morphology, we may therefore conclude that a significant portion of large game animals are, in fact, spherical[3].

The problem, I think, is that your hunters are only educated to the undergraduate level. Postgraduate education would make such reasoning as this second nature.

Must have ate too much alfalfa (it can cause bloat in cattle). It does make them easier to tip, though.

Thought dpx are talons only not evil black?

No, dpx are still copper colored and have not had the Lubalox proess which oxidizes the copper. Really, all that silliness over a process that oxidizes the copper. Winchester learned no to use that evil oxidation process anymore.

On Topic but take from above link:

The ammunition was used by the gunman of the 1993 Long Island Railroad mass murder. In 1996 a lawsuit was subsequently filed by one of the victim's family members (McCarthy v. Sturm, Ruger and Co., Inc., 916 F.Supp. 366 (S.D.N.Y., 1996)) claiming that Olin Corp. should be liable for the shooting spree based on the design, manufacture, marketing, and sale of Black Talon ammunition. The claims against Olin were dismissed because it was held that the bullets were not defectively designed.[11]

It makes my head hurt and my teeth itch reading things like this

[WY_Not]

You can but the authorities really frown upon it. Undertakers are all for it though.

Ranger T-Series are actually an improved talon design. They expand better than the original black talons. Winchester just changed the name and removed the black oxide coating as it wasn't needed, and was enough to fool the NORMAL PEOPLE WITH LIMITED EDUCATION ON THE SUBJECT OF FIREARMS into leaving them alone.

"Yea the 50. cal is such a powerful round if it even passes with in feet of you it'll tear your arm off"

"Right... SO then why do the ones that I've fired only punch nice neat holes in paper targets at 200m?"

"...Well the round that the military has are way more powerful than the stuff than you can get."

"O yea that makes seance *massages temples* "

"Hay you ok?"

A very confused young man, just the other day on campus:

"The more it kicks, the less accurate it is."

This coming from a boy who's never shot anything bigger than 30-30. I suggested he lurk here for about a month, as he was also talking about bugging out to wal-mart. (seriously)

I really had to hold myself back from smacking the guy who said that.

When I asked him to prove it, he started redacting his story and couldn't get out of that gun shop fast enough.

Well, we did get to shoot armor piercing incendiary rounds in the military but I don't think they'd rip your arm off from a few feet away.

Sometimes however, Dumb can be both entertaining, and downright badass....


For instance, everyone knows that the Mosin Nagant can simultaniously; Hit the target with enough force to puree the internals, flash barbecue the animal, and with a short lunge forward, can shish kabob what remains into hearty chunks of perfectly roasted dinner..... At the same time....


A follow up shot is only required to reseat your dislocated shoulder back into it's socket...


IT'S

FACT!

I thought they still used lubaloy on certain rounds?

[Regular Guy]

They do on the supreme rifle line of ballistic tip rds.

Dammit, Squinty!!!! Everyone knows that spraying PAM cooking spray on bullets is completely illegal! (cause they would be so slick that they would punch thru body armor, steel, reactive plate armor, and if you hit a person, the PAM acts as an anticoagulant and causes instant death...)

Great, now we are now on "the list"...

"It's a fact, that the gubmint pays people to lurk on forums and look out for things like this..."

I know, I tried to get that job.... Got denied because in my background check, I find out that my wife's been using PAM on our frying pan...




Back OT.

A guy told me yesterday that Hollowpoint ammunition was illegal... Because... wait for it.... It was armor piercing.....

Well, okay, it's illegal in New Jersey... But I was talking about inside the united states....


EDIT; Now I am wishing that Winchester would start making Black Talon's again...

No it isn't. It's illegal to use committing a crime. (it's an add on charge.. ex: armed robbery is less of a charge than armed robbery with hollowpoints) You can use them for law abiding reasons... Killing paper, Making really cool sculptures with ballistic gel etc...

It's illegal to carry. Additionlally there's a stigma attached to owning expanding ammo, and a frequent misunderstanding of the law by some NJ law enforcement officials. Enough that use of hollowpoint ammunition in lawful swlf defense might prejudice your case.
Here's a sample of the great NJ hollowpoint debate:
