Yup, exactly and shotguns larger than 10ga are considered "destructive devices". The exception is if your punt gun is a muzzle loader. It is still illegal to use it to hunt any federally regulated water fowl. They used to load up these big guns on little flat boats, AKA a punt and drift them out close to s flock if sitting ducks. As part of that legislation it is also illegal to shoot a sitting duck, no matter what gun you use. |

Yeah, the gas thing usually makes me chuckle. Although, anecdotally, I have seen gas weed-eaters that were not drained start after about 3 years. They did NOT run happily, though... Your average .22 doesn't look impressive enough for a post-apocalyptic TV show... that's probably why we don't see them. If you look online, though, you can see a lot of manufacturers that make a .22 in an AR-like configuration. I've been tempted to buy one. Seems like it would be an insanely fun (and cheap) plinker. |

They have guys in "gulf war" movies with WWII campaign ribbons and such. I also see them arranged out of order quite often. I suspect it might just be a wardrobe girl who wants to put them in a pleasing arrangement without actually understanding that they all mean something. I also recognize that there are a lot more medals awarded these days. You can see pictures of guys you know were all over Europe and Asia in WWII who don't have as many ribbons as teenaged colonels in the Air Force today. When I worked at the pentagon it seemed every time a guy moved down the hall, he got a new device of some sort. Some of those pentagon guys looked like a 19th century Mexican general. |

Yeah Greg.

A silencer and subsonic ammo will fire quietly, as far as the ammo goes, but the reciprocating parts of the rifle are noisy. I sold mine to buy a bolt action CZ 455... *very quiet* with the silencer attached. :) |
