Planning on taking on Iran single handedly? Going to make a full sized drone? Looking to buy an Vulcan canon and need some fasteners to put it on the Rover?

Aerospace fasteners = high dollar hookers.
The more affordable variety

Oooiih, full size drone, what could go wrong? Ugh, if I'm gonna wait for another tax stamp and fork over that kind of cash (bolt action, mag fed 20s are running 10-12k), it ain't gonna be for something that's near impossible and insanely expensive to feed.....it'll be for something reasonable like an Uzi. |

But an Uzi would look rather small and I think a gatling gun of any size would be cheaper than an armed Russian bride. Just sayin'.
Yes, I find Iran and its sinking of the repli-carrier using their ultralights funny. Couldn't the Navy just buzz them with F/A 18s with the arrestor hooks down?

Just get a Ma-duce and be done with it.
There is a local gun range just a mile from my office that has full blown machine guns for rent. You can't check them out but you can buy some time with them and as much ammo as you can afford and blast away. http://wilshiregun.com/ranges-rentals/class-3-rentals/

Yeah, we've got a few places that do that around here.....one of em handed a Thompson to a 10 year old once with no instruction......haven't been on that range since....
I saw a Ma for sale recently.....surprisingly low price. I think they wanted 48k......not bad when you consider that a puny little 9mm MP5 will run you 30k |

$30k for an MP5? Dang. I do have to admit for a throw a lot of projectiles down range at a high rate I would love to shoot a P90 as there is a lot to be said about the bullpup design with a full auto small projectile. They would look like toys if someone like Joe or Rick had one in hand though.
Can you compromise and go M60? .308/7.62x51 NATO isn't too bad price wise.

Evening Y'all,
Okay Joe I have an Uzi and it is a very fun way to send lots of $$$$$ down the lane fast, and about as useful as boobs on a turtle, but just like any boobs it is fun.

Hmmmph. Befuddled by the bug after last nights incident. Changed the oil and no majors metal bits. Just like two little shavings. Lots of silicone in the oil screen. Seems the idiots that built the motor loved gobs of silicone on every gasket. Wonder how much of that **** is in my oil cooler?
Tried to go drive it and it's back to not starting! Choke seems fine, etc I did a compression check with it cold, all 4 cylinders at 60psi. Low yes, but how low for cold? I know hot that 90psi and below is not good. Research time. |

Good morning.
Welp, One very good thing has come from me being sick with the flu over the last week. All the bosses above me have officially given up on the consultants supporting our hosted exchange migration. Told me so and asked If I would go ahead ignore the consultants and do whatever I needed to get our email fixed. Told me I was a valued member of the IT team and they appreciated me holding my tongue while they gave the consultants a every opportunity to do what they promised. Told them I am just grateful to be able to work from home and take care of Mom as long as they understand I sometimes can't provide instant responses due to caregiving demands.

The only custom cars the company I work for have left are the 48 Ford F1 pickup, and a 48 Harley and the 57 T-bird. The 48 F1 and Harley they plan to keep as the company was founded in 1948. Think they are planning to bonus the T-bird to my brother to get the most value out of it. My brother refuses to let them sell it at the current market value of $60 when they paid $130 for it.
My nephew currently working at the company says he wants a Cayenne but won't buy one because of the oil prices dropping and he thinks getting a Cayenne would look bad. Told him he should just get an older one cheap like I did. His wife drives and Mercedes Convertible and his HS age daughter drives a Mercedes SUV. All his driving age boys (4) like their Ford extended cab pickups.
