Does Texas allow full-auto weapons? New Hampshire does, so next time you're in the Boston area...

Such cossetted comfort! No crawling out over uneven ground, no fishing out from under oneself lumpy stones, no flicking off of ants and trickles of sweat?

I'd bring one back, only Customs might object.

It's probably a good thing for my bank account that these things aren't legal in the UK.

Well, you might consider sampling the solid kick of a 12-bore. There's a lot of satisfaction to be had in hitting a small moving target and seeing it disintegrate into dust. Don't know about up there in the rarified North, but down here, it's still something the locals enjoy.

Alas, I am still in Edinburgh, keeping [info]feorag company. But if [info]autopope thinks he is getting his side of the bed back, he has to remember that large guns do not scare Me.

So I take it you're having a good time over there, then?

Did they let you take it apart? I still remember the look on my stepfather's face that day he started bragging about how fast he could strip and re-assemble one...I said, "It comes apart?" and promptly disassembled it while he watched in horror. Good days. :)

I look at that photo and I can hear "Duellin' Banjos" in the background. Squeal like a pig, Dubya!

Now I feel somewhat happier that I've never visited Texas.

It is happiness right up until you have to clean the POS. You need dental tools to really get parts of it clean, to include the gas feedback tube that feeds the bolt carrier group.

I'm not sorry I don't have to clean one anymore.

Now, real happiness is an undermounted M-203 40mm grenade launcher. For non-military types, I recommend the orange paint training round.

Respects,
Steve
Northtown, Missouri

P.S. I don't think full auto weapons are legal anywhere in CONUS without a special Federal license.

I prefer the Uzi: it fits *under* your poncho when it's raining, it's easy to clean, and it's nice and light.

Didn't you get the memo that only Americans are allowed to be gun nuts (and Germans on off decades)?

Very badass and totally in character. Science fiction writers should be required to have cool guns for the sole purpose of amusing their fans. :D

That is one of the most alarming pictures I've ever seen.

Also, one of the biggest grins.

Another writer's reaction to shooting: Making Holes In pieces of Paper. One notable 'quote'*: "I'm a writer. I hate pieces of paper". (*from memory, not necessarily an accurate quote)
