Stephen Colbert: Palin Fatigue

srd says...

>> ^quantumushroom:

Sh;tb;rds colbert and the other one are on every day, complaining about how future-President Palin is overexposed?
Think about it.


Holy... dude, did your account get hacked (like Palins back when) or did your sarcasm just not get through to your readership for the last couple of years (text medium an so on...)?

But finally I get that you're just satirizing the average far-right followers. Good job sir. Carry on.

QI - The Sturmgewehr

chicchorea says...

Someone knows their firearms.
If I may offer and WADR, the Krummlauf option was offered for the MG42 and the STG44 with the "I"(as was correctly stated by radx) used by the infantry and a "P"(Panzer) variant for tanks. Barrels were issued in 30, 45, 60, and 90 degree curves. The 30 was quite accurate, under 1.5 MOA, and all practically accurate. Barrel life was limited, as already stated, with the 30 degree barrels rated roughly at 300 rds and the 45 degree at approximately 160 rds. I have seen one fired and a couple on film. Truly an influential design. Kalashnikov borrowed the gas system for the AK for instance.
>> ^radx:

[Geek]You know where the need for this modification supposedly arose?
Tanks designed without means for CQC/infantry suppression, particularly the Elephant, a heavy tank destroyer based on spare parts of the Porsche Tiger after Henschel's design was chosen. Great armor, immense firepower, piss-poor mobility - and no MG. So they developed the "Maschinenpistolen-Vorsatz P": a weapon system to be fitted on the StG44 which allowed the crew to cover blind spots from within the tank. It consists of a barrel bent 90 degrees, a periscope, an adapter and a hull mounting.
"Vorsatz I" (or J, can't remember) used a barrel bent at 30 degrees and was supposed to be used from within open-topped APCs as well as in urban combat, though it took about a minute to put it onto your rifle and the barrel was useless after 150-300 rounds. I imagine the 45 degree version was to be used in the same manner.
Rheinmetall still have some in their collection.[/geek]

Dexter Season 5 Trailer

Drax says...

Awesome!!!


I'd like to highly suggest putting a "MAJOR SPOILER" clause for anyone who hasn't watched up to the end of 4'th season in the title and description.

Having said that...

@Retroboy I would argue that the ending of 4'th was something the show really needed. The first two seasons the GF subplot was entirely interesting, 3'rd and 4'th it wasn't nearly as much, but with a few highlights here and there.

The show is very much about how Dexter manuevers through incredibly difficult situations, this new one is the most interesting yet.

Billy Vegas - The Militarization of Our Police

>> ^TheSofaKing:
None of that gear is used by everyday patrolling police officers. The military grade gear is for S.W.A.T/Tactical units. Is everybody saying we shouldn't have these units?


First off, every patrol car is equipped with, what is now called “crowd control” gear, used to be riot gear but that started to tip off the fact that the ones with the gear are the ones that start the riots! So yes, every officer on patrol has upgraded equipment that they shouldn’t have, not to mention all the assault weapons they are given and told what heroes they are for doing what we do every day, without hiding behind a uniform and being armed!

Secondly, NO!@!! We should not have these military forces; they are a violation of the law! Not that they have to obey the law, even when they kick in your door, kill your dog, abuse you and your family, and “OH sorry Mr. and Mrs. Smith, we were supposed to be raiding 75453 west Jefferson rd, this is 75452 north Jefferson rd. our bad, have a nice day.
