Absolutely. Better for you than beef. Much, much, cheaper. And let's not forget, it gives me the opportunity to spend time out in the woods, away from all of the idjits . My Grandfather taught me when I was very young, so for me, it's almost like I still get to spend that time with him.

We are a lucky few huh...

I didn't deer hunt with Granddad but he did take us squirrel and rabbit hunting....

That's not very 'sporting' if its stood still, is it? Couldn't you at least give it a running start?

Huh? It has the time from when it hears the gun go off until the bullet gets there to run, what else does it need, a gentle nudge with a stick?

sure...for the first two days. When have you seen anything standing still in the woods after the first two days of any season?

I bet it'd prefer a gun to shoot back with

I, for one, can't wait to get me one of these babies! Those wacky Australians have done it again!

Hmmm...the hunting uses for such a device appear somewhat limited...but I think I could come up with one or two other uses

While much of the technology is a closely guarded secret, the firing mechanism has no moving parts. Instead, it uses electronic ballistics technology. Unlike other guns, the only parts which move are the bullets.

Sergeant: Private, there's a bomb coming. Fire the Metal Storm.
Private: Umm, Sarge? It says "Windows Protection Error. Please Restart The Application"

The really creepy thing about that picture is that in all probability those deer are actually posed corpses.

Nah, they'll have been 'photoshopped' in afterwards

They're shoulder mounts that are propped up from behind...

We really are the warmongering, country annexing, global domination machine they fear us to be,

An educated American, that's a rarity

Doesn't stop the UK from asking for a little help in protecting some rock-pile in the South Atlantic either does it? It's called D-I-P-L-O-M-A-C-Y.

Trouble is you didn't quite grasp the concept then, still don't over 25yrs later

You might find yourself consistently shocked at the quality of discourse you'd find from us "Merkins" ..

Odd, that wasn't there the first time I saw the post. Oh hang on,

So what do you do, go back and edit a post when some new barb occurs to you?

 

[Rich]

And /why/?

Well it's really quite simple
A/ It's written on a scrap over paper that's several centuries out of date that they can, (they call it their constitution, or some such drivel, it does away with the need for a government)

B/ It's to prevent the church taking control of their country, which is kind of odd because plastered all over their currency is "In god we trust"

As I recall, the UK did ask for US help in the Falklands war, but it was turned down as being a UK issue not a US issue.

Col

if i remember right they did give us the sidewinder missile which was brand spanking new technology in those days....that along with the argentinian air force's reluctance to engage the harriers in combat allowed us to blow most of their planes out the sky with next to no losses for our air force.

Yep, that's what I figured. That's counts as a corpse in my book.

Yes, as long as no one has posted after me. That is how one is supposed to behaive, as opposed to your penchant for posting multiple times in a row, which is referred to as 'spamming', or as I call it: 'lazy'.

 

[Rich]

That is how one is supposed to behaive, .

assuming you meant behave, according to whose rules?

 

[nomorehype]

Yes, as long as no one has posted after me.

Several had. At least one had quoted you. You'll forgive me for thinking that its rather sad to go back and change something later, wont you?

Ummm, its 'lazy' to post more than once in a row? Sigh, more utter b*ll*cks...
(Don't worry if its not allowed to say b*ll*cks - I'll go back and edit it out later )
