Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
Yeah, I remember that! Instant celebrity! Lewis & Floorwax even set him up with a booth at the next Hawgfest selling roasted peanuts, "(name)'s Hot Nuts" or something like that. After much scrutiny, the newspaper's official story was that it was actually a shadow of his thumb. Sure looked like one of the twins peeking out to me though.Originally Posted by Irving
Looks like you gents and I are all in the same boat. I saw the face and thought "Hmm, someone stuck their face in the picture. I wonder what the interesting thing is here."

"The revolution will not be televised... Instead it will be filmed from multiple angles via cell phone cameras, promptly uploaded to YouTube, Tweeted about, and then shared on Facebook, pending a Wi-Fi connection."

You, sir, are correct. It is all bullshit. I remember hearing this story from a lawyer when I was in the officer basic course. This same lawyer insisted that 5.56 rounds tumbled in the air!
Heard that one too! Later, it was explained to me that the round tumbled in the body and that was what was meant by it.

That's why our former adversary- the Pinko-Commie Soviets- changed from the 7.62x39 to the 5.45x39- instead of punching through (like the 7.62) it tumbles and is cited for causing more fatal damage in testing.

Airborneranger,
I saw this just now posted on FB and immediately thought of you...
I know, it's not smart to poke fun at an LTC, but airborne jokes are funny!
