That was not my intention, but reaing it now, i sohuld have peperd in some smileys to make sure of that. I was trying at show my minor irritation of the misuse of some words in a humorous way and seem to have failed, I apologize.
Unless in a thread about science, try not to take me too seriously.

O.K. since it was not your intention to slam that into my face I accept your appology.:shucks:

All is well then, allso, looking at my typing, I need coffee, now.

While we're on the subject of "getting it right", what is a "pet peewee"? Don't tell me PeeWee Herman is on a leash somewhere?:o

No, i belive in freerange Peewee keeping he roams the great Estonian outdoors.

Well, it might work OK for shooting squirrels.

As for the movie clip:
Must say, I'm beginning to think all of Germany is gay. Every last damn one of em.

:yeah: Good choice:D Don't let him near the great Estonian porno flick houses though, he can be rather embarrassing there:oops:

Thats where the ball gag comes in handy.
Though on a slightly more serious note, I dont really know if we have any of thsoe establishments. I know of a few illegal brothels (in my town) and there are sex shops ofcourse, but places where you go for private porn viewings do not exist to the best of my knowledge.

Two nice quotes in your sig, Antikristuseke. :up:

I prefer my trusty M1911: Accurate as a thrown baseball for about the same distance and pretty effective as a club too. :D

I'd have to agree. .45 is about the perfect caliber for a short barreled handgun. Even the US special forces are going back to it because the 9mm is a POS. Getting hit by a .45 is a pretty sure bet you are going down and this is what they need in close combat situations.

I like my version of the .45 however:

It's a little pricey, but a very good gun.

You can tell a lot about a person by what weapon:DL they carry. I'm not surprised at your choice. The gun fits what I have been able to discern of your personality.

I wouldn't have figured that SUB would wield a 1911, though. He strikes me as more of a TEC-9 kind of guy. Or maybe an M60 kind of guy:hmmm: :DL

When your talking stopping power - its not just about the caliber. Also you have to take into account who would be the recieving target. My handguns are primarily for home defense. Thus, the 9mm Makarov is well suited when combined with the right ammunition.

For example, mine is normally stocked with Hornady cut points. I don't have to sweat a normal robber wearing body armor, so the cut points are excellent. Why?

Because the entry hole is the size of a dime.

The exit hole is the size of Long Island.

There is no doubt that its going to put a bad guy down if its fired in "anger" (always hated that term - I much prefer "need" as if your shooting "angry" you ought not to be shooting.). Once I tested these particular cut points, I didn't have to worry about a dt, though with the Makarov its rather easy for me to do.

Now I don't have anything against the .45 or even the .50 Desert Eagle, but I am not 6'5", so the most important thing for me concering accuracy is the fit and balance - and the M is nearly perfect for this particular individual.

I wonder what kind of firearm you have me down for:hmmm:

I have plenty against the .50 Desert Eagle, and im 6'3, but the comic relief it provides when someone trys to genuinely say that it is a practical handgun is worth it. That being said, it is a fun pistol to fire.

Well, we haven't talked much before so it is hard for me to say. Assuming that you do have a weapon despite the low ownership rate in Estonia, you'd be a person capable of bucking the trend, so to speak.
I imagine that the memory of Soviet occupation remains fresh in the minds of the proud and independent Estonian people, so I doubt you would choose an Eastern Bloc weapon. Hard to tell though, for reasons stated above.

Your posts often joke or are brief, and from the tone I suspect you'd carry a semi-auto. Being a self-proclaimed aetheist tends to reinforce that suspicion. IIRC, you also joined the military, no? EOD, right?

I don't know anything about your stature or weight but based on the above I'm going to go out on a limb and say you would carry a Glock chambered in 9mm or .45 ACP, but you'd rather have a powerful rifle of the automatic or semi-automatic veriety. Something powerful, but also light and safe.

How far off was I?:DL


edit- now that I think about it, you'd probably also own more than one firearm

Last week, for the first time since years, and the second time in my life ever, I went with my father to his shooting club and their gunnery range. He is doing it for sports, usually precision air pistol and some small callibre stuff, but he bought a new weapon a Taurus 357 Special, if I remember that name correctly. I shot - how do you call it? - 4 drums? breeches? empty, 24 shots all in all. It was for some strange reason I marked 15 shots within or mostly within the black rings at the centre, and not missing the target a single time with the other shots, which frustrated him a bit, since for a novice the result was pretty good, apparently. In the end I scored 155 points with 24 shots - for self-defense that would be more than good enough, i think. It was no fully charged Magnum ammunition of course, but Wadcutter projectiles. I assume my former experience with archery and sword fighting as well as my regular meditation routine assisted me in shooting that good and control breathing (good at least for a novice in firearms).

But still I fail to see the fun in it. I assume firearms shooting simply is not made for me, or me is not made for firearms. I have prefered archery in the past, and if I ever should come back to shooting, I probably still would choose a bow over firearms.

but I hate the rubber grip of that thing, and found the grip too thin in diameter. That rubber material may be practical, sure, but I hate the feeling of it. Don't ask me why... :DL

when I tried both fully charged Magnum ammunition and air pristol some years ago, I sucked with both. The Magnum was stress to fire, and the air pistol was so light that I did not hold it stable enough. The rapid fire competition they do at the Olympics - respect for being able to do that. That precision in handling compares to rifles or shooting with ordinary ammunition and revolvers/pistols like a surgeon's scalpel compares to a strike with a two-handed warhammer, it seems to me.

Well, here every able bodied male has to serve for a year in the armed forces, so I didnt join the army as such. Discharged for medical reasons.
Allso, I dont own any legal firearms, nor any illegal ones anymore. But you were not far off at all, though if i did carry it would be a Para-Ordnance P14-45 or a Glock 21, as far as pistols go anyway. For long arms a G3 would be right up my ally , use a variant of these as our service rifles, love it to bits. And people who say the G3 has too much recoil need to grow a pair:D
As far as east block weapons are concerned, I have nothing but respect for most of them, it is nigh on impossible to go wrong with em.

Saw a good movie yesterday, on TV, with some interesting cynical buit true comments in it. One of them was this:

"Nuclear weapons sit safely deep inside their silos and are guarded well, but the AK-47 is almost indestructable, still fires when covered with sand or mud, is so easy in construction that every child could handle it, and it is present in every war and every fight being fought anywhere on earth. The Kalashnikov is the real weapon of mass destruction."

And another one:

"The five greatest weapon producers in the world are the US, England, France, Russia and China. These are also the five standing members of the UN security council."



Food for thought. :hmmm:

Lord of War was on TV? remember seeing that not too long ago... good movie.

Yes:

Yes, it was on TV.

Yes, it was a good movie.
