the best course of action when all is against you is to slow down and think critically about the situation. this way you are not blindly rushing into an ambush and your mind is doing something useful rather than getting you killed.

She's the most dangerous 9 year old I've met.
I started her on hand to hand soon as she could walk
She's never fired an actual firearm, but she can put some rounds downrange with an airsoft M4 & M1911.
Me nor her uncle can get past her defense with foam swords.
I've got her a Walther P22 pistol but I can't find a local pistol range that will let a 9 year old in. Her uncle has a cabin on the Brazos River I'm going to finagle an invite to as soon as it warms up some & we have time.
And she loves riding with me on my motorcycle.Just because I'm on the side of angels doesn't mean I am one.

A buddy was bidding on it years ago and was disgusted when the price hit a hundred.

Side plates hrm? Have to look into that, sounds kinda like the ones for the 1917 mg's, still think they are thinking of non-transferables though.
-edit-
Huh, made a call and what do you know, there are a handfull of plates in the US, all pre-86 dealer samples, 75-100k each, but you can get them if you are a dealer. Coolness.Last edited by Panther Al; 12-26-2010, 08:06 PM.Member of the Bofors fan club! The M1911 of automatic cannon.

or ya can spend 25 and get a semi auto from FN but whats the fun in that (aside from being able to afford the ammo)the best course of action when all is against you is to slow down and think critically about the situation. this way you are not blindly rushing into an ambush and your mind is doing something useful rather than getting you killed.

I was thinking just the same thing. Beeing a guy who stay away from basically any kinds of sports...I'd find bicycle archery indoors in a living room would prove great fun to watch ..from a safe distance.
Other interesting sports:
(finland) wife carrying...(first prize is your wife's weight in beer)

There is a gentleman I know through the local reenactor group who has a rather intresting work project going on...
He's restoring a one-inch caliber Gatling Gun...its not due to be completed for another two years, but he's already loading the ammo for it...and the amount of paperwork he has to file for the feds/state/county has to be seen to be believed!!!!
Among the restrictions is that he can only fire it the local police range, with an officer present (state law), but there is already a waiting list of cops!The reason that the American Army does so well in wartime, is that war is chaos, and the American Army practices chaos on a daily basis.

How about this project, a 1/5 scale M4 Sherman tank:

It's wood with articulated tracks powered by a battery, radio controlled with a working TV camera for a buttoned-up driver, and a working pneumatic cannon.
