The problem is, of course, that not only is economics bankrupt, but it has always been nothing more than politics in disguise... economics is a form of brain damage.

Yep. Boys will be boys.
Hard to see in the dark, but there appeared to be some heavy stuff down the line. 50-caliber at least?

I must say that I am very impressed with that level of firepower.
We need those people on the front lines of Operation Iranian Liberation.

Right at the end of the video, they show a few frames of the advanced prototype. Conceptually, it's interesting.
That said, nothing can beat the smell of gunpowder wafting through the early morning air.

Ah yes! Nothing is more stimulating than gunpowder residue found on the outside of the right hand between the index finger and the thumb from. Like a grilled tenderloin steak or the smell of a new car that has just been financed for 60 months. The kind of musk that come a dirty Blazer round. I love that fresh from the gun range scent -wards off all predators. Second only to Orvis' Wet Gun Dog Colongne.

Wow, hearing damage to the max, most of them weren’t wearing muffs - and seemed to prefer it that way. Years ago, I was at a full-auto bash, though nothing like that. The best part about my story is that the cops showed up! They said we were frightening some people in the area with the machine gun rips. They asked us to try to keep it to short bursts and left! One of the guys there actually had a silencer license and had a silenced H&K 9mm. That was a nice gun, real quiet, not much more than the rapping of the action going back and forth. Ah, the days of my youth... Back to playing Unreal.

You mean like this? It is indeed a sweet gun.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('pstarr', 'w')hat's unreal?

I'm not so convinced about this dread thing. The 2 seconds they actually showed of the thing firing didn't give any sort of perspective to tell how accurate it is or anything. Plus, I don't care what they say. If that thing has is firing at 120,000 rounds per minute it's gonna have hellacios recoil and be a real mother to keep fed (that's 12 times faster than the fastest existing gun BTW.) If the accuracy is decent, it might have a place on an AC-130. Don't see any way a Hummve is gonna be able to tote that much ammo. Sounds to me like mostly a lab geek trying to sell a concept with exagerated claims frankly.
As for the guns at Knob Creek being obscelete, I think that can be blamed more on the Hughes Amendment than on the dread.
