  1. http://www.cracked.com/article_18683_7-scientific-reasons-zombie-outbreak-would-fail-quickly.html For your reading pleasure....
  2. I had no idea mine was worth as much as the shotgun!
  3. Do you have a model of a Zero watching the other side?
  4. Hopefully you mean proficient, and not professional. I am barely one and by no means the other... Anyway, I should have said the HK .45 (USP Elite) It may have something to do with the 6 inch barrel... This is in comparison to my Kimber Raptor and Springfield Armory Operator .45s.
  5. No, I can't say that I had the best of everything...but I can say that I had the best that was offered at the time the decision was made to purchase item "x". Like anything today, equipment and technology is outdated almost by the time it hits the store shelves...it is hard for the military to keep up without spending an exponentially larger amount of money. A compromise has to be made somewhere. So, sorry for mistaking your comment for azz-hattery. I think the DoD is doing the best that they can. (Trying to get a wheeled vehicle to do 60MPH with the crew in relative comfort and withstand a high order blast from a 6 pack of EFPs is a daunting task.)
  6. Straightest shooting pistol out of the box that I have ever seen. I'm a pretty poor pistol shot, and this thing made me look like I knew what I was doing.

    a real topic

    is degrading from all the flash photography these things are seeing...
  8. I've had one since 2005...carried it for an entire year in IZ, and it never failed to perform. Of course, it was issued while I was in the Army, but I've heard that doesn't mean anything.
  9. If I had to choose but two...I'd keep my Kimber Ultra Raptor, and my H&K USP Elite. Those .45 rounds sure get heavy though...
  10. Or you can see if this is still available. http://www.benelliusa.com/forum/showthread.php?t=21677
  11. You can usually find on on gunbroker for around $150 or so...
  12. "Discharging the weapon should release the bayonet from the abdominal cavity..." That's what they told me in the Army...as I thought to myself, "If I still have a round left, I'll not be using my bayonet." In Iraq, the bayonets stayed in the arms room...cold steel assaults are most likely a thing of the past.
  13. gunbroker.com if they have one, or tacticalshotgunner.com if you want to wait for them to get it in stock.
  14. I have ordered several things from them, and although they have delivered on everything, all of the stuff was out of stock when I ordered it. I'd go with EGW if you can find what you want there. Their customer service is AWESOME!
