Hmmm… It’s time to think about the coming year’s movie reviews. Yep, we plan to keep doing them. Well, we’re going to watch movies anyway, and going to write anyway, so why not write about the movies we watch? We’ve broken down the list into three parts, 2016 movies we still haven’t seen, 2016 movies …
Last Tour d’Horizon of 2016, which conveniently ends on a Saturday. Guns I don’t wanna work, I just wanna bang on my gun all day. That’s Not an Auction, Mate. This is an Auction: Rock Island’s next Regional Auction is going to take place Feb. 16-19. Why four days, when past auctions have been two or occasionally three? Ten thousand …
Buses in Asia don’t need to “plunge” any more. They can just carom into a retaining wall, and still run up a horrific death toll — 14 dead and 16 injured. The horror crash took place at 4am local time today in Muar, outside Kuala Lumpur, the capital of Malaysia. As many as 25 firefighters …
A Mohammedan act of worship took place in a Christian house of worship over the weekend, with a devotee or devotees of the current manifestation of the moon god Baal conducting the faith’s highest sacrament, to wit, human sacrifice. ABC News: Egyptian President Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi said Monday that a suicide bomber caused the blast that …
Well, currently, the Army has a thing they call the SARTK, Small Arms Repairman’s Tool Kit. Since we didn’t find a link to it on the public intertubes, we made you one. After all, your tax dollars bought these things, NSN 5180-01-559-5181, for approximately six to ten thousand dollars each. They are assembled by Armstrong …
We saw the highly positive reviews of this movie on Amazon.com.That made us cautiously optimistic, but some distraction (“Squirrel!”) led us away and we never clicked the buy-it-now button. Then, there it was in Wal-Mart, for the same price (between living in a no-sales-tax state, and using Amazon Prime, both of which we recommend highly, …
Behind this 1990s interface lurks more information on Hungarian small arms that you can find anywhere else — online or off. For some reason, people don’t think about Hungary when they think about European small arms. Maybe it’s because most of Hungarian history has taken place under somebody’s boot-heel or the other, like the Habsburg …
Two kinds of golf clubs, actually: the attempted-murder weapon was a golf club, probably an iron, and the crime scene was a golf club too, specifically the Indian Creek Golf Club in Carrollton, Texas, and even more specifically, the putting green of the 16th hole. As a foursome was winding up their putting on Friday, …
Here’s the deal that’s currently on. Tuesday they let us know that they’re down to 50 of them left, so they might be gone by now. And here’s what it can do. Duel 1: 350 Yards, Off Hand, on a windy Texas day. Bruce Piatt is a National Champion — dude can shoot. But he …
We found this on Amazon and scanned the part of it that was visible online. We didn’t think it was valuable, lacking the sheet music (equations and other engineering data) of standard texts like Balleisen’s Principles of Firearms and the Rheinmetall Handbook, but then we thought — “If it’s no good, we should put a heads up on …
