Well the Aussies have turned in all of their guns. Guess that they think socialism is the way to go. Bet they have great healthcare with those fun to wait in lines too.

I'm disappointed.
I thought it was gonna be a "I Like Turtles!" kind of song but with guns.
Oh well, I still want him to be my friend..

Hope he likes raw buns...

Holy crap, that might be my new favorite song! Good stuff, I needed that.

I think that would make a good ring tone too, but the wife might not be seen out in public with me any more.

Good to see that some rc lovers are alos gun lovers too!

As most of you know my other hobby (pimping is a lifestyle BTW) happens to be gunsmithing and refinishing firearms. I enjoy inspecting the mechanical genius that lies inside of guns. While electronics are very interesting I always find mechanical stuff to be mind blowing. Especially when I can see a part that has been refined to do the job of multiple other parts and also be easy to manufacture.

I often think about the valve train im my lightning motor when I am pushing it past 6k rpms. Cams are spinning at 3k rpm and all of the valves are opening and closng in fractions of a second, all while the blower is pushing 10k rpm and forcing all of the air in (being a roots style it is positive displacement). And a poor valve spring has to overcome all of this force and make the valve (which is pretty cool in its simplicity) seal up properly. And then there is alot of fire (fire is cool) and it all starts over again. Maybe just me, but I like thinking about this stuff. I often look at mechanical items and try to imagine exactly how they work.

But taking apart a gun and inspecting its workings, then attempting to reassemble it just by looking at the interface realtionships of the parts is a ton of fun. Especially if you lack an exploded diagram to eyeball!

Well said linc, and I totally agree. I often find myself thinking about the exact workings of all kinds of things be it motors, RC, guns, etc. Although I don't have as many as I would like (who ever does?), guns are sweet.

Yes they are, and I could have them all and it would not be enough!!!

Shot the Desert Eagle in 44mag today for the 1st time since I bought it. Wow, that was fun. Glad I had a good grip, but the recoil was not as bad as I had expected. I have shot 44 mag before out of a revolver, and the DE did tame the recoil a bit. Time to go to the range and check all of my magazines for function (and piss off all of the other guys who are trying to shoot 9mm)!!!!

A little off topic but where is the best place on-line to buy ammo? 3 friends and I want to go in together on some ammo. We all have 9mm and would like to get 1,000 rounds each.

I don't know. I typically pick up ammo at Walmart. They don't always have it, but when they do, it's priced right. I picked up another 300 the other day. Hope that helps.

Hmm, well I usually just google the round I am looking for and go from there.

You can also use ammoengine.com Works pretty good, but not always the lowest prices. Like a search engine for ammo. Look around on the sites with the cheap ammo, like ammo to go, they usually have some specials.

Sportsman's Guide has some mil surplus 9mm really cheap recently. Sign up for their members program and you will save a good amount.

Also centerfire had some good ammo deals.

And walmart has the bulk box stuff for about 20-23 bucks for 100. Not too bad, but you pay tax.

Great, thanks
