A great GUN REVIEW that manages to insult everyone's choices!

Having owned all of the weapons listed execpt for the G-36 I feel rather insulted! The truth hurts dont it?
 
Hey! I resemble that remark!!!

The article was bitingly funny . . . and pretty accurate too!

T.
 
Funny! Gotta admire the unbridled cynicisim of calling the 1911 overly complex and the Glock clunky. If it weren't for unbridled cynicism, I'd hardly have any...
 
On the S&W revolver...

"Favored by crusty old farts who just now got around to trusting newfangled smokeless powder, and Dirty Harry fans with unrealistic ideas about the power of Magnum rounds vs. engine blocks."

I'm a crusty old fart! That's ok by me.
Just this week I had the "engine block" conversation witha co-worker.
So true, so true.
 
That was interesting, well thought out, and as has been stated before a grain of truth in each diatribe.

Notice he (I guess it was the same author) went on the castigate various Air Force planes.

Pretty clever, wonder what he thinks of Mom and apple pie.
 
I like being a crusty old fart and the thing about magnums and engine blocks reminded me of 2 funny stories. A friend of mine was playing too close to his red belly Ford and shot the engine. A .357 will knock a hole in a red belly Ford engine. In the 60's a friend was telling me he thought the tales about a .357 knocking a hole in an engine was a lie. We didn't have an engine but he had a complete transmission for a DeSota so we shot it. A .357 will knock a hole a hole in a DeSota trans. Expensive lessons but humorous later when you think about them. Larry
 
I have started looking at more and more revolvers as of late. Am I turning into an "OLD FART"?:eek:
 
I wonder if there is any weapon or ammo. he would actually like or approve of? I have Berettas, Bersas, Sigs, S&W's and they are all a bit different but I like them all and not any of them any more in-accurate than me. Hope he finds something he will like someday!!!!!!!!
 
I think he was making fun of us and himself.....funny stuff I especially liked the Glock analogy. I think he was right on about the 357 Sig?????Why?? A super penetrater in a pressurized airplane...Not good!
 
I especially nodded my head in agreement about snub nosed .357 revolvers causing as much pain on the giving end as the receiving end!

That's why mine is gone! :)
 
The piece on guns and the followup on calibers was written by Marko (The Munchkin Wrangler) Kloos - the munchkin wrangler. - for his blog. It is written tongue-in-cheek. I don't believe the airplane bit was him.

I've met Marko and had the opportunity to shoot with him. He's a gracious host and great storyteller, and just a great guy to have a drink with. I'm honored to call him a friend.

... and his carry piece is a 3" K-frame. :)
 
Fellas if we can't step back and laugh at ourselves then what's the point?
I mean really-by any objective standard what we collect and salavate over is pretty lame in the great scheme of things, but anyone who says so from the outside we swarm like a bunch of angry hornets. In today's world, objectively, who really NEEDS 8 357's 2 44's 5 22's 2 .38's 2 9mm's 1 .45, 6 shotguns of various gauges 4 rifles of various calibers and thousands of rounds of ammo.?????? I mean...besides me :D

Caje, I thought I needed all those things once upon a time. Then I lost them all in a horrible boating accident (I really don't like to talk about it ... poor Buddy...) and haven't replaced them yet. Life is different, but not bad. :D
 
What I find both amusing and sad is how many people fail to recognize humor & satire in writings like this one.

The satire is directed not at the guns & ammo we choose but the irrational personal opinions often associated with them.

This is not a serious discussion of the merits and failings of various guns and cartridges. It is a humorous poke at the individuals that hold these views.

Similar articles are often written on just about every hobby or subject imaginable. Ford vs Chevy - Harley vs Sport Bike - Sailboat vs Powerboat and so on. And even as funny as these witty writings can be sometimes, it is more amusing to see people who fail to see the satire and post comments that reinforce the sterotype.
 
It was funny ,
I even got a kick out of the slam on S&W revolvers.
BUT!!!!!
He went to far when he bad mouthed the Enfield.
The no good know nothing blankity blank
