Yes, I thought “vacuum cleaner bag with claws” myself.

(And given NNC’s popularity, what are the chances we’ll be seeing one floating down CPW in next year’s Macy’s TGD parade…)

I’m amazed that you’d be taken in by such an obviously Jim-Henson-inspired creation.

Clearly created out of stuffed tan canvas, with a gear for a mouth and a bunch of grapes, shot on Culver’s back lot when they were done filming for the Moon Landing Hoax. And they had the nerve to rip off the poor thing’s hands. Tsk tsk tsk.

😆

Seriously, that is amazing. I’ve never heard of it before (which only proves it’s a hoax). Thanks!

. . .

Hey, people! Get it right!: BOLACHEVSKY !!! 😆 😆 😆

(Although as somebody said before, “Math is hard.” 😀 )

Here we are 130 years later and the basic technology which goes even further back to the 1870’s with brass center fire ammo like my 45-70 from 1873 and could cause lethal injuries over 3,500 yards and with aimed fire bring down a horse at 600 yards.

All firearms are lethal and modern firearms which some people have that are over one hundred years old are extremely effective and with minimal care they never wear out. That being said, in my home state of Texas where some do carry guns to church including mine a mass shooting was avoided, being stopped at one death when the gun man was taken out with a single shot 6 seconds after he fired his first shot and he was the second death and it stopped him cold from killing a lot of unarmed Christians who were in their worship service. A good person with a gun can be a good thing at the right place and the right time.

The way I see.it if I can’t get the job done with two 60 plus caliber round balls I am probably too lame to.live.

I actually have more infantry training than your average Sailor. I won’t go into why. I can offer an informed opinion on firearms. When the 8888 hits the fan nothing nothing is better than the Garand. The M16 works ok. The M14 wasn’t much of an improvement

The Navy didn’t seem to care what sidearms we carried we carried back during the Gulf War. Maybe it puts me in danger to talk about it. Maybe there were rules. I don’t know. But the guys in squadron their Glocks, their Sigs, what.have you. I chose the Colt M1911 Combat Elite. At the time 45 acp.ammo was still in the supply system.

I love that pistol.

But have you thought about adding an M1 Garand to your collection. Whatever you choose. Their are a lot bigger critters than thst.

Forums.cmp.org

Your country will sell you a Garand. Which General Patton called the finest battle implement ever created. Your government wants you to have guns. Is this not the best country in the world? But do it fast before the Democrats find out.
