That was no ricer! Did you happen to check the numbers on that timeslip?

1.6 60'

6.6 1/8th

147 exit speed

I think the clock screwed up on that, no way he ran a 6.6 1/8 mile @ 116 and it took him 12 seconds on the other end, but he still finished at 147 mph?

Yah good luck with that. I wasn't saying that is how I shoot normally ... I just said I have ATTEMPTED it. I have no clue why anyone would shoot like that. Probably because they are ****** retards to begin with.

Uhhh ... he photoshopped the original slip to make it be an 18.x instead of a 10.x. That was an insightful / indepth anaylasis, however. You get an A+ for effort.

Actually the shooting with the gun sideways started in the Spec Ops community. If you shoot an automatic weapon normally it will walk the second round up so far from the recoil that you will shoot over top over your target by several feet. The movies where rambo keeps the barrel down just aint the way it is, the barrel will climb no matter how strong you are.

But when you turn the gun on its side when it recoils it will remain in the same plane as you started so your probability of hitting someone with the second, thrid etc shots becomes much greater.

Now why you would do it with any semi auto gun is beyond me and you are just retarded if you do because it accomplishes nothing other than looking like a gangster wanna be.

Those numbers are close to mine. You just have a 1000 lbs weight advantage.

Shooting a pistol sideways did not start in the Spec Ops community??? In fact I can't even think of a fully auto weapon which it would be beneficial to shoot sideways. Where did you hear that. I hear you about the walk but jerking to the side isn't any better. Not to mention most Spec forces rarely use full auto except when they are providing a wall of fire or cover fire. Where'd you hear it started in the Spec Ops community? Just curious.

I'm curious as to this as well. Nothing like shooting to the side of your target.

Yeah Aries, have you had any luck on what is causing the power numbers to be that low??? Hope you get it all worked out, but remember the dynos do not go down the track. I have seen some low power producing cars run damn fast times!!!

Like the Bronco? Oh....you said "damn fast times" not painfully slow times. j/k


Oh yeah, I officially have NO tread left on my rear tires . As soon as I can get the video on my cpu I will get them up. I couldn't find a great place so the video isn't as cool as I would have liked it to be.
