Rita was once educated in the proper use of the English Language. Well, San Diego TV reporter Kimberly Hunt got a different type of education this week. A primer on scary eeevieel pow-pow thingies, to be percise. By no means has she mastered her new subject:
If only we can work a bit more on that "BIG KICK on Those Weapons" that an AR-15 can deliver. I am sure that Spc. Helsper here could give her a pointer or two. But most definitely *NOT* SSG Tórrez. Remember he got the dreaded Third Place Trophy. Any Hoo...
But baby-steps baby-steps, it's a start.

Worked like a charm.
Of course, since my left arm was in a cast for about nine months, I *had* to fire it one-handed...
My favorite though, was on the M-203 range. We got to fire off a couple of paint rounds to get a feel for it, and the Drill said "Hold it in tight, it's going to kick like a twelve gauge." So I took it serious, braced myself... and was quite disappointed.
If that woman got any closer to those targets, she could smack them with the plastic butt-stock.
Isn't there a buffer assembly in the butt-stock to reduce the recoil?
The first time I fired my Mini-14 the most noticeable thing was the action doing what it does.
If I am not mistaken the AR-15 is heavier so one would expect less precieved recoil, unless the 5.56 is loaded a lot hotter. Guess I'll have to take my evil black rifle to the range and try it out. It is the one "The One" made me buy right after the election last year.
My drill instructor did the same thing, only he used an M14 on full auto!!
Believe none of what you hear and only half of what you see. Except from the mainstream media, then just ignore it all.
The ATF rep didn't help by implying there's a heavy traffic in straw purchases.
...Which reminds me; a commenter on another blog recently said "ATF should be a convenience store, not a government agency." ;)
<mutter mutter> Letting *armed* Canadians roam the streets. Feh. Why, you'd think we'd tried to invade them multiple times or something.
Just because the only time we were successful at it was when the French were in charge up north and Brits were running the op....
Hey now! We never invaded Canada. We went to war against British possessions when we were at war with Britain. Heck, Canada didn't even exist until 1867 or so.
Can't hardly invade a country that doesn't exist yet.
