    Distinctive sound of an M16

    Hey everyone, I've shot a variety of assault rifles, and none make that distinctive sound of an M16. I'm talking about that spring sort of sound when firing, no other rifle makes this sound. What causes this? Thanks!

    The ugliest pistol category

    Hi-Points by far. That weird plastic piece on the bottom of the magazine make their pistols look like a cordless power drill.

    Synthetic Oil

    Nice car! I was looking at the new Hyundais not long ago and was told all the dealers use a synthetic blend. Ford also starting using a blend and recommends 7500 mile intervals for oil changes. I use Royal Purple in my car and was told to change every 12k miles. Synthetic oil really does work!

    The .380

    I also bought a Ruger LCP last month. Is it true that hollow points don't expand with the velocities of a .380? I was told only ball ammo is good for a .380 as hollow points wouldn't expand, and if they did, it would be too soon to allow adequate penetration.

    Manageable Ammo for Pistol Grip Shotgun

    I wanted to fire from the hip, but the indoor range I went to has partitions waist high.

    Manageable Ammo for Pistol Grip Shotgun

    Yesterday I bought a Mossberg Cruiser and took it to a range to break it in. I tried out target ammo first, no problems there, got bored and moved up to 3 inch slugs and buckshot. I won't make that mistake again. Does anyone have experience with pistol grip only shotguns?

    Secret Service pistols?

    I heard that the Air Marshals used 357 Sigs, I was very surprised that they would use a caliber with such penetrating capabilities. Wouldn't it make sense to use a very small, weak caliber so it doesn't punch holes in the fuselage?

    I was visited by possible new neighbors today....

    The land must be cheap where you live; you are the first person I have ever heard that considers 10 acres a small parcel.

    Ankle Holsters and Shorts

    No, I would never do this. I saw in person someone wearing an ankle holster with khaki shorts and I thought he looked like a complete dork. I was wondering if I was in the minority with that opinion; looks like I'm not alone.

    Ankle Holsters and Shorts

    I always thought of ankle holsters as something you would wear for concealed carry....does it look stupid to wear shorts with an ankle holster?

    When did Smith quit making the Model 10

    Oh man, I just checked out the site, and it looks like they just have the classic version now. The newer version with the rubber grips is nowhere to be found on their website. Hopefully it's just a mistake with the website; I love Model 10s.

    Ubuntu?

    I have the Karmic Koala distro on my laptop. Love it, very safe and stable, and my laptop runs a lot faster now without Windows.

    Serial Numbers and Personal Info

    I notice a lot of people blur out the serial numbers when they post pics of their firearms on the internet. Is it a matter of privacy concern?

    I need a little car

    When I was stationed in Wiesbaden, I drove an American market Ford Focus which I took to a German dealer to get looked at after some problems came about. The U.S. versions have different engines, transmissions, and brakes. If anything, they are less reliable than the ones made for the European...

    Trashy Looking Lawn

    For the past couple of years, the lawn around my house has gotten some bald spots and quite a few depressions. It's gotten to the point it feels like I'm riding a roller coaster with the lawnmower. Now that the grass is growing, the bald spots are really noticeable. Is there such a thing as a...

    I need a little car

    Someone already mentioned the Scion Xb, but I'll chime in. I own a 2005 model that was 17k after dealer installed accessories (fog lights, alloy wheels, XM receiver.) I currently have 133k miles on mine, and it has NEVER had any problems. It has a small gas tank that gives you about a 250 mile...

    Bond Arms Derringers - Experiences?

    Speaking of Bond Arms, anyone have any experience with .450 AutoBond? I was thinking about getting the .45 ACP barrel that can also fire this unique caliber.
