Computer Engineers + .308 calibre + $500,000 hardware = wow

[Twill]

What happens when a bunch of computer nerds in a very high tech lab shoot a rifle at a half-million dollar piece of hardware?

It keeps running, of course....but wait for the disclaimer at the end, "dont try this at home kids"

Lack, perhaps you should get one of these...it wouldn't take that many $20 prem meberships to afford it

... I used to go shoot refrigerators in the woods with my pals, shotguns mostly. That was a lot of fun! (the refrigerators has been dumped there by some losers... and left to decay).

... I love guns.

[wicked]

I've only gone shooting at a range... such a city-girl life I lead... but hey, that's where you really need the guns, right?

[KoolBak]

I know there was more to meets the eye with nobunaga....I loved the video by the way re: the propellerheads....

There is an old abandoned forest service airstrip up in the mountains where we go to shoot, ride motorcycles, quickie camp in the summer...lots of appliances for target practice left there by the cornucopia of white trash in the area....ugly garbage but fun to shoot! I have found some neat trasures up there as well.....then, there are the chantrerelles that grow in the fall...

Sorry to digress.....

The next gun I get is going to be a single shot Barrett .50 cal BMG....ooohhhhh yeaaahhhhh

[Twill]

so apparently I'm the only tree hugging pacifist around here...personally I think guns are on par with, well bad silly stuff

anyhoo, they have their place when it comes to computers

[wicked]

well Twill, you are playing a war game, what'd ya expect???

man, glad I didn't have a gun with some of those bad dice rolls... doubt my el cheapo computer would withstand a bullet!

[kingwaffles]

I'm with you on this one Twill

[Twill]

Wicked, why do you think I'm big on the "Diplomacy" thing and thus refuse to join Xi - it's not a war game, it's a strategy game

[wicked]

I don't like your diplomacy because it's always done against me. I am all for that instant gratification of taking out another player. Speaking of which, I need to sign up for another game with you, it's been like what, 10 hours since I killed you last?

[Twill]

LOL, and you wonder why I work against you...ah well, I'll get you yet!

LOL Nobunaga, my friend and I use to do the same thing, but we would wear windbreakers and make up scenarios, for instance, we were ATF agents blasting down doors and confiscating contraband. It was a little ironic

[Patroclus]

Barret 50 Cal? LOL! How about a Hawkins?

Shooting refridgerators is fun!

An AK47 makes a fine hole-driller for ice fishing, too!

And, Twill...., don't be such a Swill.......

[qeee1]

I'm with Twill... (as you've probably guessed).

Glad guns are outlawed over here.

What's a swill?

[Jucdor]

I'll line up with Twill as well.

[Fircoal]

UBER BUMP to beat Sheep.

[sheepofdumb]

I wanted to avoid that one. Too late now I guess.

[Fircoal]

I wanted to avoid that one. Too late now I guess.

BEAT YOU!

[derfderf34]

this was my idea

[Numia Kereru]

I've fired a Browning 50 cal belt-fed machine gun (blanks and tracers) at an imaginary target from the signal deck of a NZ frigate. Felt gooood, rat-a-tat-tat lol



Fired a Steyr rifle down a military range from 50m, 100m, 200m, and 300m in single-round, semi-auto and fully automatic. Pretty accurate in single-round fire once you sight the weapon, but it doesn't pack much punch with the 5.56mm rounds (it's designed to injure, not kill) - Plastic Fantastic

I just watched the video. At first I was scared they were going to hurt the fishy, but they saved it.
