DUMBEST F*&@king thing you've ever heard NOT ON THE ZS FORUM

[Polley]

"you shouldn't carry a .380 because no one has ever been killed by one" I shit you not some one told me this when they saw me practicing with my SIG P230 at the range. Yes it is one of my carry weapons for when I do not feel like packing my P220 or can't for practical reasons. Guy said the same thing about a .38 spl someone else was shooting.

Everybody knows that .22LR, .25ACP, .32ACP, .380, and 9mm doesn't kill anything but a man's pride.

I was at the gun store today, saw a guy pick up a nice milled Arsenal AK, then lift up the rear sight to vertical and try to look through it like it was some kind of enfield sight

Maybe he thought it was the shoulder thing that goes up.

On J&G sales, notice the sort (.223/5.56 NATO), and the second rifle.

All I can think of is that sign saying "7.62x54r (Same as .308)"

I imagine it's more of a website issue than actually thinking they go together. If you browse J&G regularly you will often see stuff like revolvers listed under autos and the other way around as well.

True. But still, I could just see a can of 5.45 with a sign that says "Same as 5.56/.223"

According to Boris at the liquor store, "5.45 is just as good as 5.56. Sure, is corrosive, not smae chamber, but is just as good."

"Oh, I sent some friends over to the apartment to get my stuff. They also took your washing machine by mistake, they thought it was mine. Oh, no, I can't get it back to you today - I can't get ahold of those guys right now."

This from a tenant that I had to evict. He called me the night of his last day to tell me about his mistake. I told him I'd have to swear out a warrant if he didn't bring it back that night. He didn't bring it back. I went to the magistrate's office.

[silentpoet]

I work with a guy who is a full of shit. I mean grade A industrial quality BS. Don't get me wrong, he is a good guy, but he just has to BS or he would die I guess. Anyway he was telling about some old double barrel shotgun he got from his grandpa or great grandpa. Nobody will tell him what it is. He took it to one guy who offered him 40,000 dollars for it but wouldn't tell him anything about it. Maybe not the dumbest thing, but it was spectacularly full of shit.

I'd tell him to produce it, or stfu- the real world version of 'pics, or it didn't happen'

Is there an end to this story? You always have the best stories.

It is more entertaining to wait and see what he comes up with next. Though the 40 grand offer was one of his better ones. He is a good guy to work with, just full of shit. I figure he must know he is full of shit, and I know he is full of it, so no real harm is done.

He might not be full of shit. It could be one of those hi-tech double barreled, laser guided, heat seeking shotguns, with the gps option. They were developed back in the early 1900's but since the rest of humanity didn't have the technology to support it, they never went past prototype production.

Not yet. He was arrested last night, and made a point of calling and letting me know a couple hours later that he was out on bond. As in "I'm OUT, you snitch, you understand what that means, I AM OUT!" Also telling me the warrant was a "fake warrant" and that he would be able to gin up a couple nice "fake warrants" about me and an employee of my dad's.

To be fair, he called me. While I was standing in the vacated (and pretty well wrecked) dwelling last night, he called me on my cell to tell me the cockamamie story about how he sent people over, while he wasn't there, to collect his things and they "accidentally" took the washer because they thought it was his. He offered to let me come pick it up, but a minute later when I asked him if he had it he said "no, I can't get to it right now but I can bring it back tomorrow." He wouldn't answer the questions "where is it?" or "who did you send to get your things, how did they get in and why weren't you present?"

I don't think the charges will stick, but he's plenty mad about it. I just want our property returned, and feel like his story is pharmaceutically pure unadulterated bullshit, and the latest in a six month long history of petty cons and grifts. I recognize the pattern from other episodes. I told my dad once that I wouldn't help him with tenant issues anymore because I didn't want to rub shoulders with guys like that anymore, but I went back on my promise and now this. Won't do it again. This guy was friends with the currently incarcerated "SP" from earlier stories.

Mom and Dad are safely ensconced in Florida again, were once again they can let me deal with the fallout from dad's decision to hire and house crackheads. I am looking seriously at jobs out of state. There were just two or three states that I was sort of interested in moving to, but Ima bump that number up to 49. Plus Puerto Rico and Guam.

Honestly, if he'd said "I'm sorry, I got desperate to make enough to pay my child support this month ($300 or he goes to prison) and I took your washer, but I want to give it back" or "I was really craving some drugs, and tried to sell your washer but I feel bad and want to return it" I probably wouldn't have filed the complaint. But something about the obvious, ridiculous con made my blood boil, and recent events have made me very sensitive about lies and petty theft of my family's stuff. If we get our property back I'll go to court and shrug and say "maybe it was a mistake IDK - he gave it back." But I'm not holding my breath. Grapevine sources told me he'd already sold it to a cousin.

They're also ATF regulated due to having a Shoulder Thing That Goes Up and a barrel shroud installed after May of 1887.

Heard a good one today at lunch, chatting with a guy I kinda-sorta know. Somehow we got onto shooting and hunting.

"Man, my dad's got these exploding shotgun rounds that just blow everything away, they're awesome!"

Me: "Oh, like hollowpoints? I don't know if they really 'explode', but I can see..."

"No, like they actually have some C-4 in the middle of the round and it explodes into a bunch of little pieces."

Me: "Ummm...sorry to break it to you, but I don't think that's true. So either you're wrong, or you'll have to excuse me while I make a very interesting call to the ATF."

Here's where you can buy something like that

called a detonater it's a slug that has a cavity that you can fill with gun powder and cap the hole with a shotgun primer, looks like a small led rocket

[Polley]

I know someone who told me they encountered "exploding" shotgun shells. They said they weren't practical at all and it just sent stuff out that went off like a firecracker, so it wasn't horribly lethal, either. They always referred to them as novelty rounds and I think they only shot them to get rid of them so they wouldn't have to deal with any paperwork. They said they weren't really too amazing (aside from just being cool), so they couldn't justify keeping them. I wouldn't recommend this practice with any Class III-type items you encounter, but I think it was the 1980s or early 1990s, so it's long and passed.

[TDW586]

Yeah, bird bombs, I think they were called. Supposedly meant for scaring pest birds away from crops, IIRC.

A co-worker of mine was telling us that hundreds of coyotes were chasing his horses the one day. The song-dogs were so thick that he was knocking down atleast five with every shot from his.......... .30-30-'06.

This is one I've actually heard before. Norma apparently used to sell a downloaded .30-06 cartridge that they called .30-30-'06 that offered .30-30 performance from a .30-06 for smaller game.

Whether that's what your co-worker was talking about (or whether it ever even really existed), I don't know...

[Polley]

So, taking some of these posts into consideration, it appears some of the dumbest things we ever hear are actually just gun hipsters talking about things we've probably never heard of.

Granted, there are a lot of oddball calibers out there.
