The most fun was firing at balsa wood target RC planes for anti-aircraft target practice. We'd lie on our backs and fire the M60 at flying targets. This was at Pohakuloa Training Area, in Hawaii.

I couldn't tell you how the marks got there, only that I wasn't the only one who saw M16's stamped with the Mattel logo. I didn't consider the logo thing to be important at the time, it being boot camp, and all that. We weren't "issued" a s

It's not just the AR-15. Check out the sub-culture of the Russian rifles. There's AK47 & SKS modification nuts as well as others.

I stand corrected. Thanks for setting it straight. I've heard of verified open-sight shots from match-grade M1 Garand hitting targets over a mile distant. What's the farthest shot you've heard of from credible sources?

Our barrels had no handles, they had bipods. The M60 wasn't too bad of a light machine gun, and, yes there are better alternatives, but we made do with what we were given, and once you became familiarized with the gun, it was actually a sol

Many of these home mods result in a runaway rifle, where it doesn't stop firing when the trigger is released. It only stops when it malfunctions, or runs out of ammo. Definitely not something I'd want an idiot to be carrying.

There are 2 distinctly different "M1" rifles. The 1st type is known as the "M1 Garand" which fires a Winchester .308 (7.62 mm NATO) round. The 2nd type is known as the "M1 Carbine" which fires a smaller, .30 cal. round. The M14 fires the 7.

I served as an Assistant Gunner for awhile and we learned to LOVE our M60's. It always seemed that the skinniest guys were AG's, loaded down with ammo, extra barrel, tripod, and T & E mechanism, while also having to carry an M16, and

After a couple of hours doing online research, I've found very little supporting evidence for the claim, made by others, and myself, that there were indeed M16A1 select fire rifles which carried the "Mattel" brand name, which, on the on

"...Mixing up the PLA with the MSS is like mixing up the DOD with the CIA." DoD & the "Intelligence Community" have been working together a lot more closely than you think, especially since 11-Sep-2001. http://www.armedforcesjournal.

The USA regularly arrests, tries, convicts, and imprisons, foreign nationals who violate US law. The unequal application of criterion for targeted assassination vs arrest-trial-conviction is what bothers me, from a constitutional standpoint

Firearm ownership comes with responsibility. Securing those firearms is a big part of that responsibility. Ms.Lanza failed to secure her firearms. People died as a direct result of her irresponsibility.

This is an awesome product! I wonder how much the "Home Stove" version costs? I looked on the "Shop" page, but only saw the "Camp Stove" listed at $129. I wonder if the Home Stove can power a netbook?

A mobile accessible interface is a big deal for many. A simple SSH / SFTP / etc connection for file management will suffice, rather than having some proprietary client model restricted to a couple of operating systems. Just my $0.02
