Eddie: They?re armed. Soap: What was that? Armed? What do you mean armed? Armed with what? Eddie: Err, bad breath, colorful language, feather duster? what do you think they?re gonna be armed with? Guns, you ######!

I recently got a good bow, but haven't had a chance to take a picture of it yet.  Have actually never bow hunted, so it will be interesting to give it a shot next deer season.

 

Dave Spritz: People don't throw things at me any more. Maybe because I carry a bow around.

EEk, a Luger? Dude, I don't even......

(Actually, I can't finish that, because I'm not a gun owner :( )

its 9mm luger is just another way of saying 9mm. A 9mm parabellum and 9mm luger are the same thing just different names.

I actually didn't know that.

9mm Luger, 9mm Parabellum, 9x19mm, and 9mm NATO are all the same cartridge with slight differences in chamber pressure when fired. There are others that are not the same though, such as the 9mm Makarov, which is 9x18mm and wouldn't be compatible with a standard 9mm handgun chambered in the common 9mm cartridge.

Do 9 mil revolvers exist?

As you mention a difference that to me suggests it's slightly too short to fit in the magazine...

(so in theory it could be fired with a nato standard weapon?) <machine tolerances>

It would probably fit in the magazine. The problem would present itself in the chamber of the pistol when it is set to be fired. Its circumference 0.26mm larger, so it probably wouldn't seat into the chamber properly and would be very dangerous if fired that way.

 

And yes there are 9mm revolvers. Ex: http://www.taurususa.com/product-details.cfm?id=329&category=Pistol

ah, ok, I got my measurements mixed up, and assumed it was the other way around.. (smaller)

 

(lol at the irony, a handgun that's dangerous when fired)

I like my SIG P250's because with module changes they can convert to shoot 9mm, .357 SIG, .40 or .45 and do the swap in <2min - without tools. Going from .357 SIG to .40 in the subcompact (see my sig) is just a barrel change, which can fit in a small pocket or wallet.

Also like my SIG Mk25, a version of the Navy SEAL P226 with special coatings for seawater etc. It can swap from 9mm to ,40.

no it's not my is off google

 

Yeah you can find just about "anything" nowadays to fit on picatinny rails.  I'm not particularly fond of the rail set I have because they are open and let dust in and onto the barrel, so I actually run just the standard A-2 style grips.  Have been eye-balling a bipod that snaps onto my bayonet lug though.  Might as well put that bit to use since I don't plan on fixing a bayonet on there, and it would give me a bipod, which I've wanted for steadier shots, without putting on the rail system that I don't like.

The atlatl (say at-latl) is fun and easy to learn, and depending on the projectile length and mass can reach out to 250 meters. Anything from an arrow to a 3 meter spear. You can also spearfish and hunt with them in many locales. We're trying to get them approved for Michigans archery season now that the crossbow effort is finished..

Never illegal but until the last few years you couldn't hunt with them unless you were a handicapper. Now they're allowed.

As to the atlatl; we cannot hunt with them yet. We can, however, hunt with a slingshot firing either a ball (usually steel) or an arrow. Quite a deadly sniper weapon.

    • Creative Sound Blaster AE-X PCIe review: your headphones will love it

      By Jaybonaut · Posted

      Looks like the 7.1 is fake effects, can it at least do real 5.1? It says 'virtual 7.1' in all descriptions.

      You can't, if you didn't notice, it doesn't support surround at all, it's right in the spec list.
    • Creative Sound Blaster AE-X PCIe review: your headphones will love it

      Hi — I’m always interested in soundcards. Like displays, I just want to know I’m getting as much clean “sonic juice” into my brain as possible as the years take their toll. I’m not entirely sure what to take away from this review, though. It doesn’t really tell me whether the AE‑X is a good product or who it’s actually for. Most of what I’m getting is: there’s a driver to install, here’s what it looks like, and here’s what’s in the box. There’s a lot of emphasis on the SPDIF input. When you mention not needing to switch headphones between console and PC — does that mean the PC has to be powered on just to pass audio through? That seems like a fairly big waste of energy. Is this more something a streamer would use alongside a capture card? How are you testing the sound? (Also, you might want to clarify that you’re using the headphones in wired mode when you mention they’re wireless.) You mention the lack of EMI shielding — how much real‑world difference does that make compared with typical motherboard audio? On multi‑channel: what exactly isn’t supported? Does this mean Windows spatial audio (Dolby Atmos for Headphones, DTS Headphone:X, etc.) won’t work, or just that the card itself doesn’t decode surround formats? And are there any true multi‑driver “surround” headphones left that would even use that? You also highlight support for high‑impedance headphones — but what does that translate to in practice? How does it compare to driving the same headphones from a normal device, and does it make any difference for everyday, lower‑impedance models? In short, who is this card actually targeted at?

      Yes, THIS is wordart, not the styling that can now be done. Wordart was all about those curvy words, that you could change the path of, like making words go around a circle. I don't think it can be done now, right?
