HUH?? That group was ten shots in probably less than one minute. I watched the trainers shoot the 50 cal and have the same grouping at over 1500 meters, but that was a single shot rifle.

I was reading my dad’s old book about the Acorn Division in WWII. It told of a firefight in which they noticed a Nazi tank. One of the troops ran up a flight of stairs so as to get a good shot down the barrel and explode any ordinance in the tank’s chamber, therefore blowing up the tank.

Sir Henry De Bohun.

Head split wide open with an axe. Bruce then of course preceded to give England its worst medieval defeat.

Bruce was sad.

That he had broken his axe.
LOL.

Love this one:

U.S. sniper, asked what he feels when he shoots an al-Qaeda member, replies: “Recoil.”

Oh, I understand. We had 2" at home, but some areas east of Austin had close to 10" yesterday.
