    ARMY looking to replace "ma deuce"

    'Ma Deuce' Days May be Numbered Of all the weapons in current use, this is the one I was least expecting to go up on the chopping block. Discuss. *BTW I hope this is the right forum for this. I know it's a machinegun and all but I think this would be the most appropriate forum for this.*

    Gas prices are high? Enter Enron Loophole

    First a video: Enron Loophole Recently in the news, we have all heard about how the CFTC is now investigating trading in the dark market known as commodity futures trading. The Enron loophole exempts speculators from scrutiny on ALL energy trading done electronically. What's funny is that...

    Just how stupid are we?

    When a country has a moronic population, does that affect the democratic system of that country? Here's something to chew on: This is the premise of the latest book from historian Rick Shenkman, "Just How Stupid Are We?: Facing the Truth About the American Voter". I'm not here to do any sort...

    When it comes to under $1000 1911's, which one is the sweet spot?

    I've been looking to get an under $1000 1911 for a month now. I want it for putting holes on paper and for home defense. But I really can't decide. There are many options in this price range. But my main concern is the perceived "lack of out of the box reliability" for 1911's in this price...

    Do you think Huckabee can beat any of the Dem. frontrunners in a national election?

    Very simple, if Huckabee were to get the nomination for the Republican Party, do you think he has a widespread national appeal to beat the likes of Hillary, Edwards, Obama or Richardson in a national election?

    I think I screwed up my right ear

    Well I was enjoying my new trigger on my AR15 along with the new grips and recoil pads I bought for it and something stupid happened. My right hearing protection ear pad seemed to slip off a bit and I didn't notice. I fired the shot and I think I got the full sound blast + some amplification...

    The Kingdom - go see it. Now.

    This is one of THE best movies of the year. Perhaps one of the best "gun accurate" movies made. Along the lines of Heat and Miami vice. Yep you guessed it; Michael Mann is a genius. My pulse was racing throughout most of the movie. I had an embarrassing moment when I loudly confided with my...

    Options to better Ar15 stock trigger?

    So, one of the things I really dislike about my DPMS AR is the trigger. It is REALLY heavy and first time rifle shooters like me, it makes staying on target more difficult. I have read about all the fancy $120-$200+ drop in trigger assemblies. But right now, after buying the AR and the SKS, I am...

    Yes! I took the plunge and bought my first rifle. Was looking for something I could abuse without worrying and I think this fits the bill. Chinese SKS Paratrooper with Simmons scope: Bought for a steal (IMO) at $190. I know scopes on SKS sort of don't work well but I figured I can just...

    Opinions on new S&W M&P 45?

    I saw on my latest Guns & Ammo the article on the new M&P 45. They gave it high marks for everything except maybe the procedure to disassemble. I was wondering if anyone has had a chance to actually test one out. I am currently in the market for a .45ACP pistol (be it 1911, Hk, XD, M&P, etc.)...
