Re: best bull shizzle someone told you and was serious

I know the feeling.
I got suckered into a BSA mil-dot scope a few years ago.
It won't hold zero on an AR-15. Worst POS ever.
poor glass, mushy turrets, poor construction, but to see the commercials on TV you'd think it was the greatest thing since sliced bread.
I should have saved the money for a keg of Coors & a box of cookies.
The A-hole at the store here was convinced that it was a great deal on a great scope.
couldn't convince him otherwise. Just too bad I fell for the crap. (that's where we get into the whole "best bull shizzle" on this one).
What a F*cktard.
Now it's Vortex all the way, too bad i'm just a mid-grade shooter with a cheep boom stick. But hey, at least i'm out there doing it & i can see what the hell I am aiming at now.

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: JWV</div><div class="ubbcode-body">I've got a couple.

A great buddy of mine and an Iraq veteran gave me a good laugh at the range last summer. Granted he was not very experienced with bolt actions. But, I shot 4-3 shot groups and 1-5 shot group at 300 yards. This was with my dedicated 600 yard F-open rig. But we measured all the groups, the 3 shot groups were all in the .3s MOA and the 5 shot group was in the low .4 MOA range. He looks at the groups and kind of laughs and tells me that I need shrink them down to be covered by a dime. I explained that these were fairly good groups especially for me. Well, 1 inch at 300 I feel is a pretty strong group. However, he wasn't having it and still gives me shit for crappy shooting.

Next,

Went to a local gunsmith/shop wit my buddy who was looking for a scope for his TC Encore in 300 mag. The owner/smith first looks at it has immediately demands to let him check the head space because the TC Encores were known to blow up in the shooters face. My buddy obliges, head space is good. Were looking at optics and the owner is dead set on him getting a BSA for it and goes on and on about how great they are. Finally, my friends agrees knowing his heavily recoiling mag will nuke the BSA. Sure enough, takes it to the range, 3 shots, toasted. I'm not sure if he sent it back to BSA or returned it to the shop, but funny none the less. </div></div>

Re: best bull shizzle someone told you and was serious

From a thread on a dirtbike forum about hunters taking shots at riders.

"The SOB better be as good as Carlos Hathcock or I will be testing tread wear on his body. I happen to be a better than average shot and been sniped at. I would love to try his sorry a$$ out at a little duel. If I ever found his spotter's flash, I would have doused his position with 1/2 inch ball ammo from a .50 or would have run him to ground with a mechanically zeroed scope on my trusty M-16A2 and popped the offender at 600 yds."

Re: best bull shizzle someone told you and was serious

In high school we had to do a "work study" thing where everyone had to volunteer for a half a day a week. Some chose hospitals, law firms, and even the local RNC branch. My lazy ass chose a comic book store.

I've never read comic books or any of the other stuff they had, but the two guys running it were a lot like "Clerks" with really weird people coming in and then making fun of them.

Anyways, this one guy comes in at around 1pm and buys his week's order of comic books. While waiting he determines that my lack of conversation, eye contact, and distance means I'M the guy to talk to.

He begins by talking about vampires (pre-Twilight, mind you) and how he IS one. He talks about how he is a Wiccan and is constantly under oppression by the government. But he has a plan. In 5-6 months he was going to rise up with the other vampires in his army (yes, HIS army) that are hiding in the sewers of the city.

Now I know I should have let it go and just smiled and nodded but my overly naive teenage self challenged everything he said when he was finished. He just huffed and puffed and stormed out muttering, "You'll see...."

Re: best bull shizzle someone told you and was serious

Not firearms related but coming from a Texas border town, folks tend to believe some of the dumb shit left over from Mexicano folk lore like "curanderos" and "brujeria" (medicine men and witchcraft).

My cousin responed to an online photo or what looked like a dog-boy and raved on how it was running up and down her street at night and a neighbor of her's shot it dead and took pictures and posted it online.

The local PD told her to keep it quite and not to tell anyone. I asked her about the pic. She said her naighbors took it before the PD got their. So I asked her if the PD would arrest them for defying orders to shich she replied, "No, they said it would be ok." So I called bullshit and she fessed up.

Now the funny part is another cousin who is not know to be very smart chimed in and said that it had to be true because she read this book onetime about werewolves and it was so realistic that it had to be true.

I told her that books of fiction were "Made Up" and there was no way in hell that picture was real or werewolves roamed the Earth.

She told me we'd have to agree to disagree.

Re: best bull shizzle someone told you and was serious

I've hear a lot of crap come out of the mouths of my family members, each of whom thinks they can hit a soda can at a mile, but there was one moment I called bull shizzle and it turned out to be
true.

One time I got into an argument with my father (more of debate really) about one of his many hunting stories, one of which was that he killed two deer and a fox with a single shot. I told him there was no way he shot three different animals, each if which was going in a different direction and were by themselves, in an open space. Well come hunting season, my father takes me to the ranger station near our hunting grounds, and sure enough, a Ranger, who also happens to be a family friend, comes out and tells me "so you don't think he did it huh, we got several witnesses here that saw it happen". Sure enough, several rangers happen to have been in the area and actually witnessed my father make the shot, and showed pictures of it, the round passed through both the deer and had just enough energy to go about 5 inches in the fox and kill it, the round was recovered and they keep it in the station as some sort of charm. Wish I could have been there to see it.

Re: best bull shizzle someone told you and was serious

I was at work today behind the counter when a customer friend (not really a friend, you all know that guy) walks in and we start talking shop. Somehow we begin talking about SR-25's and he tells me when he visited Parris Island to go shooting with his buddies (um...what?) he shot a 35mm SR-25. When i corrected him on the caliber, he got all up-in-arms about it and basically told me i didn't know what i was talking about. He "TOTALLY SHOT A 35MM SR-25, and a regular one"...

Sir why do they call it an m9, the captain thinks about it for a second and proceeds to school the specialist and responds mockingly

Because it has 9 bullets

Re: best bull shizzle someone told you and was serious

The Mexican folk lore reminded me of this one.

I had a buddy (Korean linguist) tell me that every year the South Korean news reports "Fan deaths." The belief is that if you go into a room to sleep, but you close all the doors and turn on the ceiling fan, you will sufficate. Some people say because the ceiling fan sucks all the air out of the room, some people say the fan chops up the air so fine that you can't breath it.
I called BS. There is no WAY that a country as advanced as South Korea would have that shit on the NEWS! Well, he tells me to go ask my roommate that night.

She was probably 28 years old, born and raised in Seoul, and had a Master's degree from a prestegious university....And she told me it was TRUE! You see, Korean ceiling fans aren't like American fans. They are better. Like Industrial strength! That's how she explains why I have slept in rooms with fans on and all the doors and windows closed and survived. If I had been in a room with a Korean fan, it would have been lights out!
I couldn't stop laughing. She truly believed it was truth!

Re: best bull shizzle someone told you and was serious

Gotta watch whatou call BS on though.... I've always been a gun guy and had an interest in the military but back when I was debating about joining back in 97 my neighbor next door had some interesting stories... He never really talked about being in he army so I was wondering if he was BSing me or not when he said he used to be Delta. I, like most people, would have called bs about some random guy telling me he was delta force back in the day. (desert storm) but I let him talk and I will be damned if he didn't have a couple vague stories about his time in and around Bagdad.... Now I was still skeptical about his claims till he invited me in to his house to see some pics....(I think he wanted me to know what I would be in for) I was kinda shocked when he showed me his uniform and two of his purple hearts and a few other medals not to mention the brutal bullet wound scars that went with them... Then he showed me a few pics of his buddies and one or two that didn't make it back. He got a bit teary eyed and said its not easy but worth it.... And to think I would have written this guy off as full of shit and been that asshole... Look before you leap I guess....

Re: best bull shizzle someone told you and was serious

Not about shooting, but the dish TV guy the other day was telling me about being flown into a mansion by chopper that had no road access for 3 days to set up the IT and wire everything up. Said the guy had him flown in with all the supplies, everything had to be choppered in, but the guy had a really nice landing pad. The house owner had his friends out one night (all flown in) and they had a crazy party. Then says the guy tipped him $2000. Then he told me about the Mustang II he had restored with his dad, because that was the cool car when he was a kid.

Never knew the Mustang II was cool. I used to work in AK in aviation, I am not a pilot, but was a ramper and lifted stuff al day and fueled airplanes. I worked a day with one of our older pilots loading, flying, and unloading lumber to a hunting/fishing lodge on a lake in an Otter on floats and I saw the bill for the airplane by hourly rate ($1500/hr in 2002), let alone the lumber. Would hate to see the bill for flying all the supplies for a mansion by rotor wing!

Re: best bull shizzle someone told you and was serious

This last weekend at the Friends of the NRA, in Reno, a guy sitting at my table was watching a "raffle" of sorts, based on a coin flip. Each flip eliminated those who chose the opposite face of the coin, and that group sat down. The last person standing won a pistol.
This gentleman opined that if the coin toss was the same face twice in a row, the third flip would always be the opposite. He started saying that al his reading of statistics (not probability, but statistics) revealed that coin flips always resulted in two the same and the third different, and that he could guarantee the results. Mind you we were in a Casino at the time. I asked him why the Casino wasn't doing coin flips down on the floor if it was that simple?
One person at the table said, "No, each flip is an independent event,and resets to 50/50 odds each time, and subject to vagaries like amount of turns in the flip, and the 51% odds for the face up at time of flip, as well as mechanical vs hand tossed..."
I tossed in "Coriolis force" just to be a prick.
I looked up the MIT page to be sure before agreeing with the independent event group, but the guy still insisted, even while his theory was taking a beating up at the podium.

Re: best bull shizzle someone told you and was serious

OK, I finally have a gun related story to tell. I was out at the range last Sunday morning early, waiting in line for the office to open. The guy ahead of me in line was telling his girlfriend that "arrows have way more kinetic energy than bullets. An arrow weighs 500 grains and goes 300 feet per second. That's only a third the speed of a pistol or rifle bullet, but is many times the mass. So because of that, an arrow has way more stopping power than a bullet."

Geez. I wasn't sure of his numbers, but it sure sounded wrong to me. When I got home, my curiosity got the best of me so I looked it up. His numbers weren't too far off, although a modern arrow weighs say 540 grains and goes only 220 ft/sec. So that's roughly 1/5 the speed of a pistol bullet and roughly 4x the mass... but the kinetic energy of the pistol bullet leaving the muzzle is 500+ ft/lbs while the arrow is only 58! The rifle bullet goes 12x faster than the arrow and is roughly 1/3 the mass... and has 2700 ft/lbs (30-06).

Guy was seriously talking out his ass.

Had a new guy at work tell me he could hit golf balls all day long at 100 yards with his FN 5.7 pistol. I asked if he meant 100 feet and no, he insisted it was 100 yards.

Just to humor myself, I asked him how far they flew and if he could hit them again when they landed. He said they didn't move but a few inches. The bullet was going so fast it zipped right through the golf ball.

His Dad was a real badass too, MARSOC. He retired from the Marines in the 80's. I was going to let him dig the hole a little deeper and then call him on his bullshit, but he quit after a week.

Re: best bull shizzle someone told you and was serious

There was a young guy in his 20s I presume talking to his granddaddy about a beretta 92 on display. "Picture this kid wearing 1980 camo and jungle boots" he went on to say that most model 92s would eventually have their triggers break . No explanation given as to why at this point I can't contain myself from lmao. He went on to say that the ruger SR9 was far superior since he read a review on ar15. He also stated that the sr9 was impervious to rust and malfunctions because they were made of polymer and stainless steel.
I'm not knocking ruger or beretta they are both good weapons , but it was the way this youngster articulated as if he knew his shit.
At least his grandfather was impressed.

Re: best bull shizzle someone told you and was serious

Not gun related, but back 11 or so years ago, sitting at lunch with a few guys talkin about fast and the furious (the movies not the gun running jackasses). We got to how much torque it would take to lift the nose of the car, when one genius who has absolutely NO car knowledge, even I don't claim to be an expert though, tells us he can start from a reverse roll, slam the car in gear, and run for 20 feet roughly before front wheels return to earth. It was at this point someone pointed out the impossibility in that equation. He drove a Chevy Beretta, which is front wheel drive, and is not on the list of the mighty powerful. We were pretty hard on him come to think of it. He had a fairly cute little sister, and one day we asked him if the drapes matched the carpetting, to which he replied yes, but it's more like hardwood floors since its shaved. He saw no problem with this knowledge till we started to razz him, at which point he said she told him that on the way to school one day, because she had nicked herself.

His Dad could have been with the MAU(SOC) and it was mis understood as MARSOC ?

The 26th MAU was the first receive the SOC designation back in 1988 and was renamed MEU later... while the 26th was floating the 24th still a MAU was working up to get the SOC designation.

So he could have meant that...

He was obviously full of it. I often have often shot golf balls at 100 yards w/ rifle, both .22 and .223. What's funny is, the .22 will sometimes just makes them jump a little and sometimes they will fly pretty far, depending where you hit them. However, if you hit them square, the bullet almost goes through, even at 100 yards.

The .223 makes them explode. Tried it many times and got the same results. I could never find much of anything left. Videos below:

I knew a guy who could fire a revolver so fast the bullets would hit in the barrel, so he said..

i used to hunt with a guy from Amsterdam. he game back from his stand one day looking rather pissed off. he told us about this dream buck that walked out in front of him, but when he went to raise his .30-30 lever gun, it was upside down! so the deer runs off.

later that night i caught the lease owner in the back room trying to shoulder a levergun upside down. YOU CANT

Had a customer in my tire shop yesterday telling me he'd "traded my old army surplus 45 to my brother-in-law for one a them Russian bolt action rifles. Hell they used to even use them for sniper rifles, now I can go deer huntin"!~! "Havin that ol 45 around kinda made me nervous cause it had U.S.Property stamped right on it".

No, I didn't make any hint as to what sort of pure dumbass I thought he was.

Re: best bull shizzle someone told you and was serious

i wanna play
so im at work in my mechanical room and talking to a sparky so hes telling me about his time in the navy and on and on. so i see an opening to maybe change the subject to guns something i would rather talk about. so i start talking about my colt ar15, hes all over that how he shot one in the service and they had this "special" m16 a2 full auto that cycled at 80 rpm. i asked are you sure about that number im pretty sure i could do 80 rpm with my semi colt. no he was sure, so i told him it was way higher than that for m16 full auto. i tried to tell him it was 650-900 or so, o no i was wrong he was in the service. so of course the smart phone comes out wiki, 30 secs later showed the numbers. so he gets mad at me mad at wiki then goes quite. so we start to talk again and hes telling me about how he shot a s.a.w. in the service and how it cycled at 2400 rpm, again i said i don't think thats right, again no i was in the service. again out comes wiki, then we didnt talk for a while. i told him i may not know alot in this world but one thing i pride my self on is knowledge of fire arms,and im learning more everyday!

If I remember correctly it was while researching the purchase of a Vantage.
