Keep an eye out for griffon for the obligatory remark.

My mind is full of useless information.

*thwacks* Griffon on general principles

Happy Birthday! Welcome back!! *Gets his twacking hand ready*

Life: No one gets out alive.

*does a few stretches, flexes hands*

You were gone?

*takes up a boxing position and hops around with arms raised prepared for the onslaught of thwacks.*

*thwack* Damn, missed him! There's always one, isn't there? Who's have thought it would be Griff? EVERYBODY that's who! Griff, you're gettin' a wee bit predictable. You should work on that .

Well Happy Birthday and all that. It's the 9th here, but it's close enough. Unless of course, you insist upon another one tomorrow... .

And now for something completely different...

oh esq, this might interest you: http://www.weebl.jolt.co.uk/diet.htm just watch the advert at the end

What's really strange is that Killzone was back for a time before he announced he was back, he even made a couple of posts in my Perusing thread before it was locked.

As for your wise words, it seems more to me that an arsonist is more someone who isn't as committed to setting fires as a pyromaniac is. I've heard news on several arsonists who were never found by police, so capture isn't an absolute for the definition.

Sir S

How do you measure intelligability of remarks? And if your remarks do become more unintelligible, how unintelligible were they before?

Yipes, Unintelligible appears four times in this post in it's various forms, how amazing. Oh, welcome back - I think. Is it obligatory for me to thwack killzone also folks?



As a freelancer one encounters some strange stuff - in the the end, however, you always remain the strangest thing you are ware of.

Killzone wants an AK? take a holiday to Africa or Pakistan, my friend, they're openly available for about £100. They aren't very good though, just cheap and commonly available. Why would you possibly want one?

Happy B-day, Killzone! I'd wish for MG-42, but it's a matter of taste. Hope you get your long-sought present
Otherwise, just have a good party! *raises a glass of beer* - Cheers!
hehe, it's exactly midnight in my place, so I might be the first one to congratulate you !

ummm......details.....

the AK-47 is a fine weapon if it is russian manufactured....and it ain't too bad if the chinese make it ......I think it was Iran that also makes it...and theirs isn't too bad either. Truth is it beats the hell out of an M-16, M-4, or CAR-15 anyday.

Now I can't remember what it's called but I heard the brit rifle isn't too bad as well , at least I heard it was better than the M-4 also, which isn't saying much to anyone that's fired one.

Top of the line as far as I know is the Styr-aug...but you can't buy those here because .......guns are bad mkay....freakin liberals..........

sigh....

PS. sorry about the liberals comment, didn't mean to mention polotics

Good?....Bad?......I'm the guy with the gun.

having had a bash on quite a few of them in me time, I can tell you that the Armalite series are truly excellent weapons, reliable, accurate, decent size round, good rate of fire. The AK is reliable if its well made and can stand a lot of punishment, unf. it's so easy to copy that most of the ones knocked out in cr*ppy third world countries constantly jam or the barrels burst (which is bad) or the safteys dont work. The British SA-80 is a disaster; it's very accurate and has a very penetrative round, but its too easily damaged, dirt and sand get in it to easily, it's heavy, over-engineered and generally not reliable or durable enough for a combat weapon. The concept of the gun was great, but poorly executed and build quality is erratic. Most British servicemen detest it and would get rid of it if they could.

the old NATO 7.62mm Martini SLR which I was issued was a fine weapon, accurate and reliable, big and heavy though with a nasty recoil and a slow rate of fire, hey its a self loading rifle not an SMG! but you could knock that thing around, use guff ammo, get it wet and dirty and it still worked fine. problem as it was so dam long we used to bash each other with the barrels and they were b*ggers to maneouvre in cramped ship interiors, so we used to stash em on the bulkheads near the exterior exits so we wouldn't have bother with the things until we were ready to go outside. Also if you dropped one and it landed on your foot you knew about it, i broke several toenails badly until i learnt the knack of handling them on parade and stuff. Modern weapons are generally assault-rifles for CQB and are a lot shorter and lighter, incorparting Kevlar and ABS plastic so they are much easier to handle.

My own beautiful Heckler & Koch and SIG are wonderful, wonderful pieces of engineering and I could sit and admire them all day (and often do) the SIG especially is one of the finest products I've ever seen, it's design perfection is sublime.

How did you get to be so knowlegeable about weaponry Taw?

well, he did serve for quite sometime, and has had quite an interesting life....

oh you just pick these things up
