The Official 2012 Presidential Election Thread

No, it's not. Recoil sets you off target. It's not about whether you're a *****. Your hands will move from the kick. Sometimes that alone will send your shot off the mark; it will certainly force you to bring the gun back on target for the next shot. That is the biggest challenge in rapid fire shooting. Bad shooters will flinch as they pull the trigger in anticipation of the recoil, causing them to miss.

Don't pretend to know anything about how to fire a gun when you've never done it.

With trap shooting, you have to figure out how to lead a target that is moving in three dimensions. Firearms are not laser guns; bullets and shot take time to get to the target. Leading a target in trap and skeet shooting can be very unintuitive.

Recoil is only a problem if you're a *****.

Know how I know you haven't fired a real firearm?


Recoil is enough of a problem that Western Militarys make sure the laser-tag attachements to firearms for training create recoil.

But I guess Asher knows more about marksmanship than all of NATO

[Al B. Sure!]

Let's not forget when Asher was all haughty talking about "What does AR (in AR-15) stand for?" because his dumb ass thought it meant Assault Rifle and not Armalite.



Such a clown.

[regexcellent]

Clearly the AR-7 is an assault rifle. It has AR in the name!

[Al B. Sure!]

I know. Or the AR-24.



It's a special mini assault rifle that you can hold in one hand, especially since there's no recoil as long as you're not a *****.

How did this turn into a gun nut circlejerk?

It started with Asher criticizing the patrons of an ammo shop in East Rochester, which I commented had higher than average traffic in the wake of the election.

Obama wins --> Stockpile ammo --> Small penises --> Gun nuts getting defensive on the truth being called

Oh come on, we're making fun of him because he's making disparaging comments about guns and gunowners when he very obviously doesn't even know the terminology and how the bullet exiting the gun affects your shooting.


If we were in a car thread and he was using automatic and manual transmission interchangably I would be making fun of him there too.

Append to list of things Asher doesn't understand: Newton's second law of motion.

[MrFun]

Which is also stupid because Obama has not said word ****ing one about gun laws since he started his candidacy in 2007.

QFT

Seriously, where is all this "anti-gun Obama" evidence/facts?

[molly bloom]

I find shooting entirely bizarre.

With guns, you mean ?


Not sperm... ?

Someone doesn't own a cat.

Sorry, lonesome star, I beg to differ.

I've owned many a feline, and never seen one kill for SPORT. Teddy Roosevelt and others killed for sport. Even my most ardent of rodent and bird killing moggies never showed any signs of killing for sport.

Easy peasy:

reg & al = Shoot! Shoot your shot !

I'd post a Divine video, but reg would only complain, H.C. would leap in to defend his bromantic other half, and so on.

Cats kill for fun all the time. If you want to say they're killing to keep their skills up, fine, but they kill plenty of animals and don't eat them. Either you don't own a cat, or you don't have very good situational awareness.


Cats are crazed killers that kill for entertainment
