I've always wondered about this. Who are you Shamus? You have lots of guns. You seem to have lots of interesting things to say, but most of the time all you do is release pressure. You don't fit any of the stereotypes on these forums. Story time, story time. |

2.I do not have "lots" of guns,I have just enough for my needs and they are well taken care of. 3.A soft word may turneth away wrath but a good joke may stop a war. 4.Stereotypical?No...but when my wife says that I am unique it is not necessarily a good thing. 5.I enjoy telling stories,just not on myself as the statute of limitations does not cover everything. Happy guys?If you need to know anything else just ask Mr.Lukins or Glyn,I'm sure they will be able to satify your curiosity . Oh,and Feanor?Try not to pay too much attention to the men in the brown Taurus,it agitates them if they think you know they're there .Last edited by Shamus : 10-09-2007 at 11:28 AM. |

I have been "around the block" a few times and have a few stories of my own. My children say I don't make judgements, it's not my style. I just tell a relevant story and let them ponder what the outcome was. You're right about the statute of limitations. Oh yeah and check the plate number on the brown Taurus when you leave, it's "probably" just a coincidence (or not). ![]()

Despite the facts that this topic's genesis was in an M24-Fapping-Flamebait thread, I'll still contribute.
I personally picked the M21. It may not be a true "sniper" weapon's system, but it certifiably works as a marksman's rifle. For me, it combines the qualities of portability, ease-of-use, reliability and stopping power all in a nice package. The M82 is a real ***** to move around, the PSG-1 is a little on the sensitive and expensive side and the others...well, I don't know enough about them to make a reasonable opinion. |

Designed in the late 80s, the idea didn't catch on and there was really no production run. Here is a clearer example of your picture |
