Weapons Man

Received by an SF Master Sergeant of our acquaintance (Name and PIN deleted).

By the way, when MSG Victim took this picture, his digital camera numbered the photo for him. IMG_6666. Isn’t that the Number of the Beast? Make of that what you will.

Shorter OPM: “We gave your personally identifiable data to the Chinese, and all you get is credit monitoring from some crony firm the same incompetent assclowns who lost your data in the first place picked after a suspicious no-bid process. Sorry ’bout that, GI.”

Even Shorter OPM: “Thanks for Serving Your Country. You chump. Now we screw you. Xin Loi!”

You know, when this kind of stuff happens to the enemy he just takes the fatalistic attitude that, “It is the Will of Allah.” What are we supposed to believe? “This is the Will of Murphy?”

Back in September, we introduced the Washbear, the first successful 3D printed .22 revolver (although it looks like a pepperbox, it has a rudimentary barrel), and we promised you more information, including the files, when it was time.

The monster: Graf in mugshot.

Pedro Sanchez had his objective down, but he was pretty flexible about how he got there, using the belt-and-suspenders approach of a baseball bat and a knife.

Maybe they actually did this, and it’s just so successfully compartmented that the usual folks read-on on classified stuff, like Snowden and his FSB bosses, the New York Times staff, and random schmoes on the Internet, have never heard of it. But we suspect one of the great errors in the early US response to the GWOT (Global War On Tourism) was a failure to implement pseudo ops against islamic terrorists.

Here’s a picture of some men with some rifles. Want to ID the men? And the rifles? We’ll give you a hint: the rifles are Stoners, as in, one of the guns Eugene Stoner designed and/of progeny thereof. The men probably are not stoners.

Gents, you saw it here first. The complete FBI new pistol solicitation, which we mentioned back on 7 November, is now available verbatim and in full detail.

Reinaldo Rivera. Apparently Darwin got a couple licks in before going down for the long count. Now Rivera’s out of the gene pool, too, at least until he “marries” some prison groupie and gets a conjugal visit. (Can’t have “conjugal” without a “con” in the “jug”).

Ickle Bwadwey is suing the Army because they took away his tranny wank mag and made him cut his hair, even though the delusional traitor is getting hormones because he feels like he’s female. Michael Isikoff1 has the story at Yahoo (Isikoff’s errors in pronouns have been corrected).

We’ve referred before to the MG5 contract document, which Nathanial F. of The Firearm Blog found and posted. This document comprises some two dozen or so questions from German parliamentarians (Bundestagabgeordnete) to the armed forces (Bundeswehr) about the MG5 contract (and a few about the G27 contract). We did a hasty translation of the first part of the document for Nathaniel, and sent it off to him, but we continued to work on the sucker and it is attached to this post.

It’s stressful to start a week with the old week yet unfinished, yet, here we are. Still no Matinee or TW3 from yesterday, and actually, this morning we found that two scheduled posts, one on Paris and a When Guns are Outlawed, didn’t go off on schedule.

Jailbird Jacqui Eide poses in the latest shade of County Inmate Yellow.

Here’s the French headlines, courtesy of Philip Bromwell, via National Review Online. Thanks to English and French sharing a great deal of cognate vocabulary, you don’t need to be a Francophone to get the gist of it.

Developing a NATO weapon? There are a lot of nations to please, too.

(This was delayed due to meatworld events and the Paris thing. Nostra culpa). We’ll cover the usual subjects: Guns, Usage and Employment, Cops ‘n’ Crims, Unconventional (and current) Warfare, and Lord Love a Duck!

We’re not going to bite at analyzing the Paris attack while it’s still not all wrapped up. Unlike the guys whose output is already set for tomorrow’s newsstand (image right), we are not under a deadline on this. We’ll just offer several points and move on to news from Russia.

Ever wonder just what the Secret Service is keeping secret? Read on. But you may be sorry you asked.

Oshkosh’s JLTV won, but LockMart is disputing the contract. Since 2008, tens of millions have been spent and zero vehicles produced, apart from handbuilt prototypes..

Nobody really knows, but this one came in to the Anniston Army Depot for conversion. They’d already stamped it M2A1 (as can be seen in this close-close-blow-up, along with the original maker marks of “Colt’s Patent Fire Arms Mfg Co, Hartford”) when they realized it wasn’t just any M2 heavy machine gun. It was older than the oldest one they had kept as a museum display! Serial Number 324 was probably made in 1921 or 1922, and had never been overhauled before.

Now this guy has a mustache worth emulating.
