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

[12_Gauge_Chimp]

This comes from a former friend of mine,

"Dude, you don't need to waste money on 7.62x54r ammo, just use .30-06 rounds in your Mosin. The 7.62x54r is just the Russian name for .30-06. They are the same round, it'll be fine."

This was followed by me smacking him upside the head.

What. The. Actual. FUCK?

7.62x63, your bolt would'nt even close.

[jamoni]

Next line? "There is no country that uses a semiauto as a sniper rifle."

That's what I told him. I also told him the rounds are similar, but not interchangeable at all and that the 7.62x54r has more in common with .308 Winchester than .30-06. He still didn't believe me and kept telling me to just buy .30-06 rounds.

Welcome to my world, Dogan.

Going back to the 40's, the SVT-38 and -40 were fielded in sniper roles in WW2.

Hell everyone started scoping semiautos. The USMC used M1-D's through Korea.

Sadly, he even calls himself a hsitory buff (of the era WW1-1960) and still insists... I didn't even know the US was using semi-auto snipers that early. May need to rub his face in that one.

You cant believe how many WW historian I meet that don't even know where it all happened. "there was war in Europe?"

This guy tho... He has enough to start a museum, jeeps, generators, stacks of propaganda and uniforms... He's dumped just about 2/3 of every dollar he's made (still lives with his mom) into this.

I'm afraid that museum would be filled with a bunch of mis-information if this guy is as idiotic as you say he is, Dogan.

As for the historians not knowing there was war in Europe, did they not pay attention in history class in school ?

[jamoni]

Apparently Europe isn't in the World?

Let's see...
On a public range, I was shooting from prone. Some yahoo comes up next to me, shooting a .357 revolver. Every time he shoots, he lets it "recoil" way over his head, then lets it swing all the way down, one handed, past his leg. You know, pointed at the ground, and behind him? You know, right where I'm laying?
So I stand up and say "Hey, man, everytime you shoot, you're sweeping me with your gun."
him:"No, I'm not."
Durp?
"YES, YOU ARE."
And here's the part, the part where I realized I was talking to a complete idiot:"Well, it's okay, BECAUSE I HAVE MY FINGER OFF THE TRIGGER."

Ahem. Look around bud, how many people do you you think paid attention in school?

OT: The 416 was based on the G36.
The M9 replaced the less powerful 1911.
The M16 replaced the M14 because the m14 didn't have enough power.
A .223 is deadly because you don't shoot COM, you shoot for a limb. You hit a guy in the hand, and it';s gonna take his arm off at the elbow.
Beta-C mags are awesome.

Wait, what ?

Have you been talking to my cousin again ? That sounds like something he'd say.

As for the not paying attention in school thing, I know I barely paid attention in school, but I don't try to pass myself off as an expert when it comes to WW2 or anything of that nature.

Yes, I understand. And actually, i've just posted that whole list, just for all of us to lol at.

Just yesterday:

"I am selling my 10/22 and my Colt M4 .22 to use as a down payment on a Bushmaster AR... I can shoot an AR faster than those two put together."
-guy at Cabela's

[Devisis]

I had a guy tell me that the AK is so favored because it can shoot any NATO round. Not that that make AKs in those rounds, but that an AK-47 can shoot 7.62x51 round. I walked away because the guy burnt off a tattoo with a butter knife and a blow torch and I wasn't going to correct him.

Bird shot is the best for home defence. ( Police officer )

It's not a bad option if you live in an apartment. LL rubber slugs are a good idea from an overpenetration standpoint too. You could always load for HD so you've got two birdshot shells first, followed by two 00 buck shells, and then a slug just in case.

As far as stupid things I've heard, there was a shooting spree in Canada a few years ago at a college. The shooter used a CX4 Storm, I think in 9mm. He shot 20 people and 1 died. One of the survivors got on a soapbox calling the Storm a "military battle rifle" which has no place being legal in Canada. This from a guy who'd been shot in the head and neck and survived. Perhaps he'd rather the guy had shot him with a hunting rifle?

From a former friend: when the shtf I'm just going to steal food from people. This was in response to me asking how his food storage was going.
Yeah....

The red part is completely incorrect and it is ironic that you posted it in this thread. Do a search on this subject, using google or the search function for multiple threads on why your statement is false. If you still have questions I will check back in this thread periodically.

"Ruger SR556 is the best option for an AR platform currently on the market"

What's worse, was I heard this from a former Airforce guy who works at Cabela's, who had managed to convince everyone else at Cabela's of the same thing.
