sorry about the image display issues folks. i cleared the forum cache and it seems to have helped.

i don't know if that was semi-auto...sounds like an fully auto or at least 8 round burst mode. the army should take a look into this tech. but they'll need a way to affix bayonets and mount a scope/rangefinder

An estimated 3.2 million nonpowder guns are sold in the United States each year; 80% of these have muzzle velocities greater than 350 feet per second (fps) and 50% have velocities from 500 fps to 930 fps (AC Homan, US Consumer Product Safety Commission, unpublished data, 1994). Most of these guns are intended for use by persons aged 8-18 years. At close range, projectiles from many BB and pellet guns, especially those with velocities greater than 350 fps, can cause tissue damage similar to that inflicted by powder-charged bullets fired from low-velocity conventional firearms (3). Injuries associated with use of these guns can result in permanent disability or death (4); injuries from BBs or pellets projected from air guns involving the eye particularly are severe (5). For example, based on data from the National Eye Trauma System and the United States Eye Injury Registry -- a system of voluntary reporting by ophthalmologists -- projectiles from air guns account for 63% of reported perforating eye injuries that occur in recreational settings.

i would like to see some hard numbers as to how many eyes have been put out by red ryders. don't talk to me with emotion about this subject...I just want the facts.

especially with the chicks. every girl loves a poet.

OK, with Bill and the peeps that messaged me (if they remain interested) then I think we have enough people. Thanks!

i have a small project for cc.com i'm looking for help on. there is no compensation other than to obsess over climbing gear and to put together a resource for other climbers that might prove of some use. project will be objective rather than subjective, and really shouldn't take that much time. looking for people experienced with using free climbing and aid gear. PM me if you're interested. thanks.

Sorry for the national enquirer reporter tactics, hoping someone else would dish about it. Very cool, congrats Jens and Cole.

I haven't seen that. I would recommend that you give Firefox a try. Its a quick download, its my browser of choice. There are other options too. Try accessing the site in Firefox, and if you have the same problem PM me and we'll figure it out. If others are having the issue in IE I can take a look at it...

Great pictures, looks like a nice place to be, even if you did have to slog in. Thanks for the TR. I heard a rumor of a winter repeat going down in that area recently.

Thanks everyone. it was a very nice event.

all we are is dust in the wind

just went to REI, bought a new wardrobe emblazoned with these words. now i'm sitting here, waiting for it to be.

Lars?

I think Lyndon B. is the reason for global warming.

"Though early estimates Tuesday ranged as high as 2 million, satellite images of Obama's swearing-in suggested the actual size of the throng may have been closer to half that, said Clark McPhail, a sociologist who has been analyzing crowds on the mall since the 1960s." http://www.courant.com/news/nationworld/chi-crowds-tabjan21,0,2267676.story

1965: Lyndon B. Johnson, 1.2 m 1973: Richard Nixon, 300,000 1977: Jimmy Carter, 350,000 1981: Ronald Reagan, 500,000 1989: George H.W. Bush, 300,000 1993: Bill Clinton, 800,000 2001: George W. Bush: 500,000
