Can't have issues that way.

This is the main reason the 5.7 never took off here in the USA because it's reason for existance was a moot point without the AP ammo. Here in the...

I've seen them for $920 to $1200 depending on something, I think it's adjustable rear sight and finish.

Plenty of people knew about the issues with this guy, but whether it was for "political correctness" reasons or whatnot, they did nothing. While I am aware that a dishonorable discharge is generally reserved for a serious offense (that results in an actual crime), I'm sure they could have done something with guy to get him out, short of a full dishonorable discharge, before he committed the actual crime that he did here. At the...

There's a very interesting article in the new issue of Rolling Stone about some Iraq vets that didn't re-acclimate so very good. It doesn't really apply to a guy who has never actually deployed, but it is appalling how the Army cuts these guys loose when they've served, gotten mentally F'd up and then come back and no one gives a crap. It infuriates me the amount of money that the Fed tosses around for BS every day,...

What's the 195, then. Obviously, I'm not all that familiar with the round or the gun.

re ap ammo I would be surprised if he wasn't...this weapon was designed to defeat body armor...this guy had a plan...bet they have his hospital room under heavy guard

I have to say thanks to all of you. It's rare to find a community that will let another vent without the big bash parade. Quite a few (this isn't to pick on those that haven't) know from personal experience what it's like to have to put a personal firearm down in the Armory. Others know what it is like to get permission from your CO so you can maintain a defensive firearm OFF POST. That being said, and to include negligent...

I've never had a look at these pistols, they seem quite uncommon which makes me kinda scratch my head. It seems like only a serious gun enthusiast would even know about these pistols, I wonder what his background was. Did he shoot often? Second, why shoot up fellow troops? I mean, if he asked most of these guys...

I don't like the way the word terrorist has been diminished since 9/11. I think we need some language which separates the conspiratorial militias like the Tim McVeighs or Bin Ladens and the random jackass who goes crazy. Probably the biggest difference, to me, is that random jackasses don't believe...
