    High-speed firearm videos

    Here's a site with videos of various weapons firing, filmed at some ridiculously high speed. You can actually watch the projectiles leave the muzzle, the action working, etc.. http://www.bsg-dornier.de/schiessen/index.html?/schiessen/filme/filme.htm Thanks to Liberty_MI at SomethingAwful for...

    AR-15 question: is this legal?

    This is more a question about the ATF's assinine rules than anything else. Say I want an AR-15. Indecision sucks, and I don't know what I want. Pistol? Short, light carbine? Maybe a heavy-barrel thing for service rifle competition. Well, the platform lends itself to easy customization, with...
