I don't know about those, but maybe these ones are:

Apparently it is a single shot 9mm "pistol" designed ergonomically for senior citizen and disabled self defense.

Dangit. Store sold the 617 out from under me. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/banghead.gif" alt="" />

Ah well, just wait on the next one.

Tom - Handguns are legal depending on barrel length. Only really annoying thing is that they are range use only. Still, you can have some decent fun there. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I was reading about the possibility of the Palm Pistol being deemed a medical device in the US. The thought of getting a prescription for a handgun for self defense is hilarious! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Gz is short for gtats which is short for congratulations.

Closest I've ever gotten to something that compressed was "GLGH": Good Luck, Good Hunting. My Mechwarrior 3 gaming clan always used to say that over team-chat before we deployed into a mission.

Man. Fond memories of stomping around in my Bushwhacker custom. Everybody else seemed to prefer the UAC/20 more than the LBx/20 owing to its greater cyclic rate and kinetic transfer... But the LBx/20 was my favorite since it was a twelve ton sawn-off shotgun and sanded the entire target with pellets. Good times.

Though I probably racked up more kills with a Timberwolf and 3 ER-PPCs. Requires some fire discipline owing to the long cycle and extreme heat output on the ER-PPC, but if you wait for that sweet shot, an alphastrike delivers utterly catastrophic damage. That and it was amusing to plink people at 800 meters or so. Most combat in Mechwarrior 3 took place at very short range owing to the poorly written net code and its massive amount of lag. People got so used to fighting at short range that a lot of time they wouldn't even start dodging until 600 meters (ERMLAS range, which was the longest-ranged commonly used Zero-TOF weapon). Though they learned fast when you took off their mech's arms and legs with one shot.

If you want to be really classy, you sit off from the main battle a ways and wait until an enemy unit alphastrikes a boatload of lasers into one of your buddies, then you shoot the guy that just fired. ERPPC hits add heat to a mech. Between the huge heat spike they got from alphastriking a bunch of lasers, plus what you just added to them, they go nuclear.

(Topic? What topic?)

Even better would be being able to get your insurance company to pay for it! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

My DMDC survived the dreaded peanut butter and jam sandwich performance test today. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />
I posted pics over in the knife section <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Ha! I know it's somewhat old but I wanted to respond. Just got mine and I love it! Of course being in california and after the election price was inflated. Everyone that has shot it loves it though, no kick. I got some 62gr. steel core green tip (M855) from wideners @ a good price. Check 'em out. Plus, the green laser visible in the day is awesome, you can't miss.

So, did the double-cut allow for a noticeably easier plunge?

Hey Dawg,
The knife started out life as a Double Cut. However, I decided to sand it off
to get a bare blade, so can't give an opinion about the ease of plunge. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />

I've got a couple...

I'm sort of a gun guy.

Gotta love the guns. Now that's a collection, a lot of history there.

Thanks.
