Re: best bull shizzle someone told you and was serious

So I got this kid, fresh out of MP school, didn't know much about him, but was told to watch out for his outlandish stories. So I get to talkin to him one day, ask where he's from, replies DC (which is true) he goes on to tell me of his troubled upbringing, hood life, crackhead mama, shot at a few times, hit in the arm once. Shows me where he was hit, not a mark on him. Tells me he was stabbed in the chest, shows me where, pointing at his left pec, saying it was this huge knife, again no mark. I ask him about why no mark, replies that he heals real quick, only took a couple days.

On one occasion, tells me he got his pilots license at 13. Another time, that he was a "junior Olympic swimmer" (even though he can't tread water to save his life, as proven by multiple failures at swim qual). He tells us of being an amatuer magician. Says he can shoot any weapon presented to him, but he was unable to even load the shotgun for duty (m1014)

Re: best bull shizzle someone told you and was serious

A guy I work with has a 10mm Colt Delta Elite. We've talked about the pistol a few times because it's one of those guns that I would like to have but just have never came across one at the right time. Anyway, he tells me that he shoots .40 S&Ws out of it to save a few bucks and that the recoil isn't nearly as bad.
Is this even possible? I would think that if the 40's would even fire it is a catastrophic failure waiting to happen.
I have a tendency to think he is full of shit, but he's also proven himself to be an idiot, so who knows?

Unless the pistol has been specifically designed to shoot both .40 and 10mm it wouldn't be able to do it. While the 10mm is just an elongated .40, the headspacing would be off and you could get a catastrophic failure. I also highly doubt it would chamber and cycle correctly.

**<span style="font-weight: bold">It is never a good idea to shoot any caliber ammo in a firearm other than that for which it is chambered for.</span>**

That being said...
Regardless of his intelligence, it is possible to shoot 40s&w in a 10mm. The extractor of a 1911 will hold the round close enough to the breech face for the firing pin to ignite the primer. If shooting lead bullets, it would be possible to have lead build up at the end of the chamber and prevent the 10mm cartridge from chambering completely without cleaning.

Re: best bull shizzle someone told you and was serious

Not bullshit, this is a true story but it is related to the above.

When I first showed up to graduate school, and nobody really knew anybody I else, I go shooting with this guy who already owned guns and seemed to know what he was doing. He wanted to go shooting because he just bought a kimber procarry, so he has a 45acp. I bring out my 1911 in 45acp and a 40 S&W. He asks to shoot my 1911 so I say sure ammo is over there (where all of my ammo 22lr, 40 S&W, 45acp was). He fires it twice and calls me over because it is jammed. I look at it, and it has stove-piped a round and the brass is cracked really bad. I pop the case out and he had loaded a full mag of 40S&W rounds. Not only did the extractor hold the round close enough to set off the primer but it cycled once. I am not saying it is a good idea shoot 40 through a 10mm (I think it is a disaster waiting to happen), and I am not saying it will cycle good all the time, but it might cycle allright.

Friend of mine had the same gun. He used to just remove one of the recoil springs (they have two apparently? I dont know, never messed with one) and shoot 40sw out of it, no problems in quit a bit of time shooting it.

I have a Colt 10mm Delta Elite, it has a 40 S&W Barrel, but I have shot 40 S&W out of the 10mm barrel, it works fine.


I have also shot 357 sig out of a Glock 22 using the 40 S&W barrel, I do have a 357 sig barrel for it but wanted to see if it would work and it does, the case doesn't like it though.

I have also shot my Glock 17 and Glock 22 underwater on multiple occasions.

If someone wants to witness me doing it meet me at any range within 50 miles of the Tampa Bay Area.

Got up, went over to the table, pulled out my Viet Nam Helicopter Pilots Assn. membership card, laid it on the table, and with a clear and purposeful voice stated in a tone that was unmistakeable, "Cobra's don't have door gunners. You, sir, are a liar." Turned around and walked off.

I, personally, have much less dramatic stories to tell. But my Father, much wiser than I, imparted these 2 stories to me. (Hopefully, to impress on me the importance of knowing what the hell you are talking about.)

1: While at the range with 3 buddies sighting-in for deer season with their .30-06 rifles, a man arrives. He says, "What you shooting?". My Dad replies, "We are shooting four, oh-sixes".
The man replies, "Boy, them .406's sure do bark, don't they!"

2: While sitting in the truck in the dark on opening morning of deer season, he is startled out of a doze by a sharp rap on the window. Rolling it down, a voice out of the darkness asks, "Hey, anybody got any three zero dash oh six ammo? I bought this rifle last week that the guy told me was a thee-oh-eight, but the ammo don't fit. and it says 30-06 on the barrel"

Now, from the above story, you know what my Dad and his friends were shooting, but for their safety they denied any knowledge of any such round.

Re: best bull shizzle someone told you and was serious

When I was in the army, I was having a conversation at a local range with some random guys. One just had to tell anyone that would listen that he was in the army, as a mechanic...but an oh so special mechanic. "Yeah, I go on missions with Special Forces all the time, they request me so that their Humvees don't break down and also cause I'm a great shot. I graduated from sniper school a few years ago actually."
This caught the attention of my shooting buddy...who happened to have been an instructor there back in the day

"So" my friend asked him, "What was sniper school like"
"well that hardest part was the entrance test, they won't even let you into the school unless you can hit an egg at 1000 yards with your M-16"...

There was this kid in high school that would tell me about knife hunting pigs in hawaii. He would tell me he would wait up in a tree til a pig walked under him and he would jump out of the tree with a knife in each hand and stab the pig in the sides. Now that's all fine and dandy and would probably be quite a rush, but this kid was probably 300lbs (and not like a 300lb football player), just 300lbs of fat.

Re: best bull shizzle someone told you and was serious

My brother and I went to a local gun store and the owner was trying to pimp Ruger hand guns. Do not get me wrong they are good handguns but they are not great handguns. He also did not like glocks. I did not ask why.

He said if you are going to shoot a lot you should buy a better handgun like a Ruger or something in line with them. If you are just going to keep it in the night stand and shoot it for self-defense then a highpoint will work great.

I do not know about you but if I was ever going to use a gun for self-defense I would want one that would go bang every time I pulled the trigger and not go bang and jam. Like the high points I have seen.

1) Using knives on feral hogs in Hawaii is not all that unusual, some locals do it often. Not out of a tree, though, they have a pack of dogs run it down and eventually pin it. Now it's not able to move much, or retaliate, so.... it gets stuck. I grew up down there and hog hunted. Not with a knife, though.
2) We sell the crap out of Hi-Points where I work. Haven't heard any complaints about them jamming, in any caliber. IMHO, they're a big ugly clunky pistol and I don't want one, but my customers tell me they run fine. Maybe we just got the good ones. With the special steel from Remington. Oh no, wait...
3) I used to work with a guy who claimed to have been a sniper, but worked in the motor pool as cover. This was doubly amusing, as we were both service writers for a car dealer, and he knew jack shit about cars. He was also colorblind. One day, a coworker asked him how he could be a sniper if he was colorblind, and he told her "When you're scanning the treeline a mile out, you're not looking for color. You're looking for movement or shapes that don't belong." So she asked him, "What if they tell you to shoot the guy in the orange shirt?"
He'd also been part of a disastrous air raid into Egypt, where they came under fire as they were getting off the plane. "We left 37 dead men on the tarmac, and I got shot in the right shoulder." The bullet either is still lodged in his shoulder (from an Egyptian Hakim rifle) or went right through, but either way it didn't leave a scar at all. This is because they flew him straight from Egypt to Portland, Oregon, where the world's best reconstructive and plastic surgeon works, and this was because of a classified mission where he "did a general a big favor, but I can't talk about it".
He had dozens of these, and used to tell them to customers that I knew were retired military. Lulz.

This is because they flew him straight from Egypt to Portland, Oregon, where the world's best reconstructive and plastic surgeon works, and this was because of a classified mission where he "did a general a big favor, but I can't talk about it".
He had dozens of these, and used to tell them to customers that I knew were retired military. Lulz.

This is why I avoid veteran frequented bars, restaraunts, even VFW. There's so much bs that I can't control my mouth.

You are correct, Mustafa.

I guess I should have clarified statement.

I was pretty much refering to those guys who were S/F, Rangers, SEAL's, recondo . . . ad nauseum, who tell of feats of derring do in lands far, far away, but when asked with what unit they served, and so forth, just can't seem to remember.

Or say that it was so hush, hush they can't talk about it.

I hear ya Spade...

All the heavy operators that I know don't say, "Yeah, I did a whole bunch of shit... but I can't tell you about any of it". They just keep their mouths shut & let the subjects from this thread keep digging their holes deeper.

Thats the first sign of a shit-talker, the fact they are even telling you anything.
What's that saying? .."The ONLY person who needs to know where you were and what you did, was the guy standing next to you."

Re: best bull shizzle someone told you and was serious

The best one I heard from a former soldier was that a General pulled him from the Motor pool and "Personaly" trained him as a sniper and that he ran around the sand dunes shooting people. I think his German wife still buys it to this day!!
