Cleaning out some of my stuff as I move up to Galway again this year to work. picked out a few interesting things as I rummaged. Not all entirely firearm related but interesting curios.

Irish army helmets, from right to left. (British Mark 3) Standard steel helmet I scrounged from my home barracks castlebar before it's closure, ancient thing, stopped being in use around 1984. (Israeli Orlite helmet) My first helmet of 5 years, I slept in it, drank out of it, and fell in it a lot. (RBH 303IE combat helmet) Then the newest model, comfortable and has ear guards.[/QUOTE]

Random assortment of patches, Austria, France, Ukraine's Titan unit, Serb Volunteer Guard, Kosovo Mines Information Cell, and Resident Evil for some reason.[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE][IMG_thumb]http://i253.photobucket.com/albums/hh55/111CC111/IMG_20121006_215057.jpg[/IMG_thumb] My first gun, and a relic of the old days, I always kept the vest with it and pray that I never have to wear it again.[/QUOTE]
So what stuff do you guys have hidden away?
Is that a light sabre mounted onto the top of that gun?

[QUOTE=Protocol7;37930903]a 22lr rifle with subsonic ammo and a silencer is so quiet[/QUOTE]
I've shot subsonic 22lr before, suppressed subsonic 22lr must be like it's not even there. :v:

22 shorts are great too. They sound like BB guns...
At least you guys had the chance to shoot! I haven't shot in a couple months because of all this school shit and junk. Nobody told me Architecture would be so demanding. Well they did... but seriously...

Oh hey there fellow Architecture major!

Went to a range today. Apparently its apart of a national park or something in the blue ridge mountains, range fee was 2$ for an outdoor range, no one was there so we got to shoot for free. Fired 200 rounds out of my mosin and boiled the rest of the cosmoline out, my buddy shot his .22 for about the same a mount of rounds. Was fun, going back tomorrow to do the same.

Old school laser.

The company that made the laser on the Longslide went on to become Surefire.

[QUOTE]In 1984, laser sights were rare, and required a high level of power. This helium neon laser needed 10,000 volts to turn
on, and a further 1,000 volts to maintain its brightness. The cables were run up Arnold's arm to a battery that was in his
M65 field jacket. The laser was activated by his other hand.[/QUOTE]
Holy shit, look at the size of that thing!
By the way, to the Engineers complaining earlier, I transferred out of the Aerospace Engineering major and my brother is currently a Mechie.
He feels your pain D:

I've been thinking. We need to cull pigeons and seagulls. They're literally in plague proportions every where in South Australia.
Won't be able to do that though because a bunch of animal lovers will get their nickers in a knot

Pigeons and Seagulls are great eating. [pigeon is far better though]
In speaking of eating/killing seagulls....
[URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eddie_Rickenbacker"]Medal of Honor Recipient, Eddie Rickenbacker[/URL]
[quote]For 24 days, Rickenbacker, Army captain Hans C. Adamson, his friend and business partner, and the rest of the crewmen drifted in life rafts at sea. Rickenbacker was still suffering somewhat from his earlier airplane crash, and Capt. Adamson sustained serious injuries during the ditching. The other crewmen in the B-17 were hurt to varying degrees. The crewmen's food supply ran out after three days. Then, on the eighth day, a seagull landed on Rickenbacker's head. He warily and cautiously captured it, and then the survivors meticulously divided it into equal parts and used part of it for fishing bait.[25] They lived on sporadic rain water that fell and similar food "miracles".
Rickenbacker assumed leadership, encouraging and browbeating the others to keep their spirits up. One crewman, Alexander Kaczmarczyk of the USAAF, died and was buried at sea. The U.S. Army Air Forces and the U.S. Navy's patrol planes planned to abandon the search for the lost B-17 crewmen after just over two weeks, but Rickenbacker's wife persuaded them to extend it another week. The services agreed to do so. Once again, the newspapers and radio broadcasts reported that Rickenbacker was dead.[/quote]
What would you guys say about getting this furniture on the AR I'm building:

And a Magpul MOE in the same color for the stock. Thoughts?
Guys I just looked at a Merkel Drillings gun online...
Help I can feel my wallet crying already.

Beautiful fucking work of art, anyone who would want this gun destroyed should be considered a criminal.

Go to the "range" with him then.

I'd personally stay away from magpul and tapco, just because I hate that overpriced plastic. I'd just grab a set of A2 furniture.

The Cawadoody special, the "tactical" 1887. It's actually so hilarious that I want it.
1887s are quite popular in Australia because it's the closest thing we can have to a pumpaction shotgun.
Shame they're not very reliable though

I saw one of the repros at the LGS, asked about it then got ranted out of the store by the guy behind the counter trying to claim "Hurr you only want to see it because the Terminator used it son guns in reality are not like in movies you try to use it like he did durr"
Cycling it even without flip cocking it was already a bitch.

Yea, I'm quite certain most people (outside of Australia) only have them because of Terminator or CoD. They're not very good. I've been thinking that if I could design a reliable lever action shotgun I could make a fortune here in Australia...

Why not make a bolt-action shotgun instead? Surely that'd be easier to do and more reliable than a lever-action.

Not my picture but I just got one a week or so ago, it's a H&R Model 121 16 gauge. Going out to test it for the first time tomorrow.
