The1930sRust Posted September 18, 2003 Report Share Posted September 18, 2003 Sgt: Thanks! That is a cool link. I especially like the movie action when the trigger is clicked. Humph. And all this time I sort it was just special magic that made it all work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SgtMartin Posted September 18, 2003 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2003 haha. well, im glad you like it. i just purchased a deactivated m1a1(pix soon) and i always wondered what magic made it work. because its new spec deac, the bolt i think it is, is welded or sumthing, im not sure. but it cant be 'cocked?' is there anyway(even if illegal) this can be undone? b.t.w, that pic of the violin case....mwah! *kisses fingers like italian chef* very nice...

Bruce L Posted September 18, 2003 Report Share Posted September 18, 2003 REALLY NEAT! I especially love the never-ending magazine of ammo! Wonder where I can pick one up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Iannamico Posted September 19, 2003 Report Share Posted September 19, 2003 HSW is the best site ever! next to this one of course! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M1tommygun Posted September 19, 2003 Report Share Posted September 19, 2003 That is a cool site. Hollyweard? I thought 10 rounds was the limit in the P.R. of Kommiefornia. Then again, Hollywood would be the place to find those 500 round 50 round drums, like the one they used in the beginning of Windtalkers http://www.machinegunbooks.com/forums/invboard1_1_2/upload/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif .

Ron Mills Posted September 19, 2003 Report Share Posted September 19, 2003 Well we may as well open up the never-ending mag can-o-worms here. Even in the new Kevin Costner film, "Open Range", in one gun battle (we're talking single-action Colt Peacemakers & such), Costner rattles off either 8 or 9 rounds without reloading. Rust, I think this stuff must be magic! Geez, do they think everyone in America can't count...don't answer that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkr Posted September 19, 2003 Report Share Posted September 19, 2003 The movie I think best personafies the endless magazine is Arnold's "Commando." He must fire 10,000 rounds out of the few guns he brings on the island. Amazing!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
