Presumably for DIY use against all those hordes of
unspeakable foreigners showing up from the EU.

Pity it's the unspeakable foreigners who developed them.

Default OT If you're into machine guns.

I once saw an advert made for the Rapier Missile system. It was so mater of
fact as if it was plugging some new chemical treatment for your carpet or
something. The guy on the voice over was explaining it as not a missile but
a Hittile, because it was so accurate it only needee a small amount of
explosive and fragmentation filler to bring down an aircraft. This complete
with action footage of a warning of low level air attack with squaddies
rotating this battery and the guy in a caravan guiding the missile into an
aircraft engine and blowing it to pieces in a split screen with the actual
from the ground image.
The thing that worried me is where would they show this sort of thing?
Presumably trade days at big air shows like Paris and Farnborough, but sures
if we are flogging hes to other places then how can we be sure one day they
will not be used against us?
We did flog them to the Swiss, the nice folk from Jordon and some other
nato counties.

In the US a few years ago, I accompanied some work colleagues for an
evening at an indoor shooting range. One guy had this powerful rifle,
with all sorts of anti-recoil technology, bouncing springs, liquid
counterweights, what-have-you. From outside the range building, I could
hear other rifles sounding as different types of crack, bang, etc. When
this one was let off, there was a load 'Whoomph' sound, and all the
other shooters would crane their necks round to see what was going on.
The owner used it mainly to kill ground squirrels on his brother's
land.

If you are into machine guns you need to take a long hard look at
yourself and ask yourself 'why?'

the biggest threat to humanity comes from socialism, which has utterly
diverted our attention away from what really matters to our existential
survival, to indulging in navel gazing and faux moral investigations
into what the world ought to be, whilst we fail utterly to deal with
what it actually is.

Consider this:

Every time there is a gun massacre, the sale of guns goes up, for
self-defence reasons.

Piers Morgan tried to reason with them, he got hounded out of the
country. So we got him back!

Nor me. But it has probably happened, once, somewhere.....

And then there was the bloke who picked up his pistol from the side
table to fire at an intruder and shot the end off his own cock. Ooops.

Unlikely to make much difference with the one in the video, stupid.

And it makes a lot more sense to tip the contents of the water bottle
down the barrel too. Gunna make **** all difference either way tho.

That is not to cool it. It is to demonstrate one of the selling points;
that it will continue to function even after total immersion in water.
Many machine guns would need to be stripped and cleaned first.

Not with the first bit where the barrel alone is put in
the water and produces copious amounts of steam.
