Or will people take this the same way they took the boat thread? :7

1. Ok.
I think the M-16 rifle is wimpy, they should have stuck with the m-14. Have you ever been to the Canadian military museum in Ottawa? They have a cannon in there that had a shell blow up in the barrel- its scary to just look at. I have shot the main gun on an M-60 tank (the one we used before the m1 abrams). I have no opinion on blowguns.

2. LOL...here's my rifle...


Romanian SAR-1, a civilian AK-47 lookalike (looks like a real AKM, but works like any other civilian self-loader--not a real AK).

Sorry to disappoint you, but I don't own any cannons. I do own a tank of sorts...my little '87 Camry got totaled last month (wife and kids are OK, tho), and a family member was selling a nice '97 Park Avenue Ultra...so I used the insurance settlement on the Toy to buy Shamu. Very nice car and surprisingly efficient (30+ mpg at 60 mph, 27 at 80), but HUGE. 17 feet 6 inches long, 6 feet 3 inches wide. I feel like I could put the Toyota in the trunk. How big is an M1A2? :D:
