So how are the Kittenz? Have the dogs eaten them yet?
it is a tank on a truck.
What is with your planet? Is it purposefully evil or do you just like frying cool giant evil critters?
you could take it down low too... give LSA a serprize...
that's doable... realistically even...
Hmm, well, it's a reasonable reason. It's just... the sun's gonna go nova, there are the folks that want to blow up Jupiter, the mountains are inhabited by Ravenous Bugblatter Beasts of Traal, and there's the guy incinerating ugly people.
I'm not sure it's the vacation capital of the universe, that's all. Which means it's a much better place for a story.
I will make some things not so realistic but I can't stomach sloppy gun use in books or movies. If it was a bit iffy he would have to take two shots... and the other guys would rib him about it for the rest of the story.
Thought that was just cuz the normal, sensible geniuses got off the planet already.
Went through my story and put times/days on things. They've got six days to stop the bad guy, defeat the zombie Nazis, rescue the sister, and make up a really good excuse, or heroine's mother will find out.
Though the whole "look ma, I'm downrange" muzzle orientation is quite a chuckle...
...and the Goron remains a dingleberry.
Heck that is almost a week! They could almost write a story about it in that much time.
Yes, but first they have to steal a book from a library, and then figure out what the bad guys are up to, then not get killed (and not get the sister killed) and only then do they get to go to South America and take on the Nazis.
I forget, been a while since I messed with an AR and I am not sure I have played with one quite that old.
Hope you figured in most of a day to get down there.
...Mango...
Just after I had gotten that out of my head... I will get you for that !
:P
Unfortunately yeah. Unless the bad guys flew them in on a private jet, having bribed the local officials not to shoot them down. Of course there's still flight time but a lot less customs hassles.
Thanks, Osage.
Actually, after I got over the blow...it was a relief. It's probably over as far as the thesis is concerned. All the angst and worry is over and all we're out is time and a bit of money. Now he'll do the "creative component" project and be done for sure in the Spring and this dreadful waiting and fretting over the paper is over.
It's a relief.
And I was right...we talked for a long time just now in the garage and he told me he was lost on the paper and didn't know how to pull it together...something I've sensed all along.
During my time, the procedure upon drawing yer weapon was charge the bolt (which locked it to the rear), release the lock (which closed the bolt on an empty chamber), put it on "Safe" and flip the dust cover shut.
The Goron appears not to have folowed this procedure.
Before returning the weapon to the rack, the Armorer would clear it, inspect it for cleanliness, and make sure the trigger was pulled. The rifle remains on "Fire" in this instance,
