m’eh, the .44 D’eagle jams so often it’s not worth the trouble. Those big rimmed cases just don’t do well in an autoloader. The .41 is slightly better, and the .357 runs pretty well because the case rim is smaller. But that rim on the .44 is just too big. 50AE runs the best.
#9: Used to teach archery at Renfaires (hey, great way to get close to cute females without cops being called.) Sadly, that happens more often than not. We were at least shooting blunted arrows at armored people, so... well... yeah. Sweeping the customers, pointing loaded bows at each other, loading the bow backwards, holding the bow backwards, doing everything backwards. Yeesh. It was safer as a target than a teacher. Plus you got to look at the babes leaning forward to pick up arrows.
And the heckling. Heckling the hell out of people for fun and profit.
Though there was one lady who came for 6-7 years daily at one faire who just, for some strange reason, bought 30 shots and pelted me in the cup area, and she'd wait until my attention was distracted. Didn't mind too much as she was damned beautiful.
Son in HS went to a Renfaire and, at the archery range, saw a newbie turn around with an arrow drawn back because someone behind the newbie said something to the newbie. Son immediately stepped in front of a pregnant woman and waited until newbie turned back toward the target.
Thirty some years ago, as I was rolling into the parking lot of the indoor range, I could hear: boom!...boom!... I wanted the Long Range, and they put me next to him. Deagle in .44, and the muzzle flame was licking at the target at 15 yards! Talked to an ammo remanufacturer at a local gunshow, and he told me that he had to load .44 Mag at 5 grs over max to get the Deagles to reliably cycle. No idea what powder he was referring to, probably used the same in all his calibers.
#1 when I was working up in the Canadian NW Terr. the local Inuit guides that were with us told me that if a local pray animal see you standing up it assumes that you are a bear; if you crouch down it assumes you are a wolf. #6 had a fiddler crab do that to the (too close to it) nose of our cat as we were walking it down the street in Key West. Really funny.
At the very end of #10, it looks like the Deagle is going to stovepipe.
ReplyDelete#1, silly bastage should've gotten gored!!
ReplyDelete10. Let me guess. Reliant 2400?

DeleteThat tough guy against the bus is no contest. It would have flattened him for sure.
ReplyDeleteYes, 35,000 goes into 220 once, with nothing left over.
DeleteOne of the most severe cases of SGD (Short Guy Disease) that I've ever seen.
DeleteDon't give #9 what is in #10.
ReplyDeleteNumber 3 is in need of high velocity bus grill therapy.

ReplyDelete#2 - When they’ve had too much laughing gas..
ReplyDelete#8 - what’s the difference between Police dogs and other breeds…??
ReplyDelete#4: "Just emptying my shoes daddy!". (Father of five boys).
ReplyDelete#6: Fucked around, found out.
ReplyDelete#10 looks like Desert Eagle in 44mag. 6" barrel would light up the range, to be followed by everybody else on the line going WTF was that.

#3 needs to be introduced to my baseball bat.
ReplyDeleteI'd like to meet the blonde in #5.
I don't think my humble beer budget could afford to meet the blonde in #5.

#1: I wonder if he has any idea how badly that could have ended.
ReplyDelete#3: Props to the bus driver for not swerving around that clown.
