Yes you can support the soldiers and Marines without supporting the president, what kind of nonsense was that? There are Marines in my unit who think the president is wrong, and some think he is right, but it doesn't matter so much to us because in a fight, there is no higher debate or moral...
Dick enhancers? Maybe for some numb nuts who wants to think of themself as "hard" by buying a Glock. I own several rifles and handguns. When I was at college I was on a shooting team, now I'm a Marine and for obvious reasons, shoot frequently. I enjoy precision rifle marksmanship, as I find it...
The USMC has always been SOC- Special Operations Capable. We aren't a part of SOG or SF because we have our own way of doing things and don't give a rat's ass about the allure of wearing a goofy french hat. Marines are hard, Scout Sniper Marines are some of the hardest of them. Swofford was not...
Yeah, you really have to worry about that kind of weapon being available to the public too... Soon every thug with 3 grand for a rifle (not to mention 6 dollars per round) will be toting one of them. Seriously, that's a pretty jacked up thing to lose sleep over. I wouldn't use them hunting...
ignoring the many technical and tactical details they got wrong, does anyone else have some reservations about making entertainment based on the war? Does it not seem just a little like "blood money" to be selling a TV show about an ongoing fight? Don't get me wrong, I enjoy the occasional war...
I'm in SF for the week on vacation, near Nob Hill. I'm going nuts without riding! A buddy of mine and myself are looking for a good ride or two during the week. Any suggestions? We were thinking about mt Tam, but don't really know where to begin. Any suggestions about riding near the Presidio or...
Thanks for the replies. I was hoping to do some longer XC rides, but I'm not looking for a rubberband bike. I wouldn't mind some more serious trails either. I wouldn't mind a bit of shuttling if there's any good dh in the area. Like I said, I've never ridden in California and all I know is what...
I'm heading to SF for a week for a vacation and am not going to be able to bring the bike along. I was hoping to find a good shop that will rent me a real bike, something that I can use to hit up some of the local trails for a day or 5 without dropping a huge amount of cash if possible. On that...
I tend to think it's worse simply because they are small and capable of punching through your skin more easily. Not that paintballs don't hurt, but they've never made me bleed, haha
"How bad does it hurt to get shot with one of these airsoft guns?"
I got lit up by an automatic M4, it turned my shin into burger and I still have scars
gas guns are more money, and more problems. They are more accurate and semiauto, but not worth the trouble. Go with a springer or go with a AEG. I'm thinking about getting a nice AEG rifle of some kind so I can shoot within city limits (a real rifle is a no-go for obvious reasons). There are...
the issue isn't that he took the call, but how he reacted to being told to hang up. The story goes that he blew up at the teacher and used profanity etc... He isn't in trouble for taking a call, he's in trouble for flipping out when told to hang up. If I was in his shoes I would probably have...
The wattage output at lactate threshold compared to a rider's weight is probably one of the more useful figures you could look at to get an idea of a rider's potential. It still won't tell you how a rider will do in a field sprint, however. Ignoring the tactical and technical components, you're...
TTs are the hotness, congrats on your strong finish! The cool thing is that as long as this course is the same each Wed you're there you can really track your progress easily as you improve. I would definitely look into a aerobar for your road bike, if you've used them in the past you know it's...
The thing about the euro and domestic pro guys, the big sprinters out there, is that they are capable of unloading that 1500+ watt sprint at the end of a 4-5 hour day. The climbs and surges and chases and all of the racing leading up to the finish don't slow them down as much as they would a...
Reminds me of a few weeks ago- we were in Pisgah heading down Laurel Mtn with a nasty storm approaching. We were still right at the top, feeling exposed and wanting to get the heck away from the lightning we were seeing and hearing. On the way down from the Parkway we ran into a guy and his date...
I would say road as well. I'm assuming you mean at the pro level- I understand 24 hour races are hard (the ones I've done have been a riot, and hard as all get out) but you won't be racing them back to back, or even weekly. The same may be true of any MTB discipline. While gravity racers do have...
in a time where sponsorship for XC racers is almost nonexistent I think it's absolutely awesome that they would put something like this together for some talented racers and simply retarded for people to bitch about a company sending some guys out to the races.
I worry about people that use any kind of rifle for "home defense" (especially one that uses a BMG round). A rifle round can pass through a wall, window, person or whatever and remain lethal- meaning if it doesn't stop when you hit the guy breaking into your house, it might find its way into the...
