Loser, it's not "macho BS," it's a basic soldiers' skill in the Army. And I never said anything about taking out aircraft at 20,000 -- 30,000 feet with *a* rifle. The fact that you have to make shit up and can't admit when you're wrong makes you an even sorrier POS than before. Must suck to be you
So did my late grand father squad during Ww2. I am sure you were not. I was referring to Bsam comment that came out of trader666 hilarious post. Not many people are naive to believe modern fighter jets can be brought down by rifle shots. Then he continues to make a fool out of himself by defending his position.
I will easily admit when I am wrong. This is a must when trading, for example. So far no one proved me wrong. I have my beliefs and you have yours. It is normal for both of us to defend our positions. Time will tell who is wrong and who is right. Please define a reality that is supposed to slap me upside my face.
You're right, if it is otherwise commonly available. But if a ban of semi auo rifles had gone into place about fifty years ago, I don't think there would as many around today as there are. Alcohol and drugs are expendable products. You can't sniff the same gram of cocaine and swig from the same bottle of vodka for 20 years. They need replenishment, so demand is persistent. Plus, I never heard of anyone cracking somebody over the head with an alcoholic beverage, or blowing a cloud of cocaine into someones face to harm them. Durable products are different. That's why if semi auto rifles were to be outlawed, it might take a while to see the results of such legislation. How much is AR15 today? If it were outlawed what do you think the cost of it would be on the black market? Would you buy an outlawed firearm?
Totally believable. Even the late-war variant A6M5a had no self-sealing fuel tanks, no pilot armor and no fire suppression and a lot of the P-38 Jocks said that they just squeezed off a few head-on rounds on the merge and the zero would just explode.
yeah , I'd say the zero represents the extreme of the maneuverability vs durability tradeoffs of warplanes.
Some people will say anything. Some people will believe anything. I like ridiculous people. I like ridiculous conversations.
