    I still don't know how it works, does the gas make a explosion like a gas engine does? If it does, how do you get the right air/gas mix?

    Just like a gas engine... There are spark points inside the chamber, so you open the valves to let the gas in, close them to seal everything off, then press the red button! Anything in the barrel comes out real fast haha. The air/gas mix indeed has an ignition window that you have to hit. To be consistent I just use the bernzo valve that comes with those little camp-stove propane tanks to give a certain (slow) flow rate. So, for example, I just open the chamber valve and turn on the gas for six seconds, then close everything up to shoot. Thats usually right in the middle of the window unless its really cold or something.

    Also, I really want a Buckmark or a 22/45 now.

    I like the buckmark because there is one variant that comes with a 7.25" barrel:




    I like the ruger because one variant comes with a bottom rail (for a flashlight) so I could hunt rats.

    Caster - That's rad dude! I have a Hawglite mount that I use for hog hunting. I don't use the light that came with it though. Hawglite makes good mounts, but their lights are meh. I have a Streamlight Strion that's incredible. It's almost got the distance of a Q-Beam, but it's the size of a mini Maglite.

    Thanks Zeus! I refuse to believe it though. Just had a friend from high school hop on this thread to confirm and we both believe it's him...I could believe it too. The kid was such a weirdo...played a lot of pokimon in the school cafeteria.

    Just for the sake of telling the story...Let's pretend that it's the same guy. They are in the cafeteria one morning playing pokimon, when he starts accusing this kid of stealing one (some) of his cards. The two start to get into it, and stand up. The other kid proceeds to punch butthurt dweller in the face, which causes him to drop to his knees right in front of the guy. In the process of dropping to his knees, he pulls down the kids pants, underwear and all, while the other guy proceeds to punch him repeatedly, and butt hurt dweller just holds onto the pants for dear life. By this time the entire cafeteria was dying laughing at them, and what it obviously looked like. Teachers broke it up soon after.

    Anyways, I really like to think that it's the same guy...Back on topic. I'll post some pics of my new Ruger Mini-14 soon.

    went shooting earlier and decided to try something new, some of my preconceptions, expectations, and probably biases got shaken up and turned around, very beneficial imo:

    try/rent and have buddies bring like 10 different platforms/guns and run them back to back to back. very different than trying them individually over time. realized that a lot of guns that i thought i couldn't shoot well or just felt like "bad" or "cheap" guns actually shoot as well as if not better than many of the "good" guns for me. also found out im a lot better with some "good" guns that just didn't do it for me before and found out that some guns i thought i could shoot well with im actually not very good with (comparatively for myself).

    also got to try a wilson combat 1911 that is one of wilson's high end models - wow. i never found a real difference between a "cheap" and "ok" or "decent" 1911, but shooting this thing... it almost felt like i was cheating

    Bought a few chip mccormick mags for my kimber and they work great. If you have a 1911 you can get them from cheaperthandirt 15 bucks for 8 rounds, and they have a fun 10 round one for 24. Now if only 45 ammo was this cheap.
