Maybe I should have made a distinction between lethal and fatal. My point was that stabbing someone with a knife, unless in the right spot, may not have an immediate effect and they may still beat you senseless before they even know that they were stabbed.

NO! You will get to go to the gym, but it will not get to be every day for a 2 hour workout.Unless you have a desk job at HHC, you will have a hectic training schedule with lots of deployments . Your gym schedule will be eratic to say the least.

Maybe I had an easy RIP class , but I was having so much fun being trained by Airborne Rangers that I never considered it hard. Where a lot of the Basic/AIT and jump school seemed too watered down,RIP was to the point and the instructors were the best.When I got to battalion and I was getting smoked...

A friend of mine was at a party when a guy ran up punched him in the stomach.My friend ran after him, but couldn't catch up, so he went back to the party.A little time went by and he went inside to take a leak.That was when he saw the blood running down his legs and onto his shoes.The"punch' wa...

The HS 2000 is pretty much the same weapon, but you can get it for around $300.It doesn't have Springfield on it , but the XDs and HS 2000 are both made in Croatia at the same plant.

I'm no expert , but with a heavier projectile you need either a longer barrel or a tighter twist.The "tumble" is a result of the projectile yawing.In normal flight the axis of the projectile and the direction of travel are the same.When it yaws the axis is askew of the direction of travel ...

Should A New 5.56mm Load Be Developed for The M4 ?

First of all, I have never got to shoot a M4. Shouldn't be a big deal. I've heard a lot of bitching about the M4 at ranges over a couple hunderd yards. The SOPMOD kit is great, but hits aren't doing the job that they should be. The M855/SS109 was designed for the A2,the XM193 for the A1 and maybe th...
