How do you get a flag and a round into the chamber and get the breach to close? That must be one sloppy chamber. Also for it to go off it required the breach to be closed and someone to pull the trigger.

The Chinese if they throw the resources at any sport can basically be top contenders and their resources are pretty limitless. So I don't think t...

I agree archery is a good example of what can be done. I know myself I never paid more than a passing glance to archery. I found the Archery at the Olympics very entertaining, the match point sets in the finals all lead to dramatic finishes. I even went back and watched the last season or so of thei...

It sort of comes down to what you like a DA/SA like the Sig or the striker fired firearm like an M&P, Glock act. Personally I find the striker fired firearms mor to my liking you have a consistent trigger pull and the operation is easier, no other safeties and decocting. But I do like my Sig P22...

I don't see it as a big deal that the NRA gets money from the firearms industry, they paint it as something sinister, well Big Pharma funds pharmaceutical lobbyist, as does the insurance industry, and the petro chemical industry and farming the...
