Oh, and don't have a gun collection, but still can should I so choose, with very little effort.....From the country that brought the rest of the world Rock and Roll, tube amplifiers, Fender Stratocasters, Harley Davidsons, and Ronnie Barret's M82, FYVM!

*promote Barret FTW!

This is an instant classic. Barret kills me in this; tears from my eyes hilarity. Especially, if you've played the game.

@quantumushroom REAL freedom is being able to smoke a Cuban cigar while strolling down main street in a G string whilst carrying a Barret .50 cal for "freedom hunting".

*edit- I forgot smoking a joint while swigging whiskey.

Re: "Barret, a prominent racist and homophobe was murdered after soliciting sex from Vincent McGee, AN AFRICAN-AMERICAN man. Could it be any more ironic, folks?"

The video summary is factually incorrect. (It asserts certainty for a statement that is very uncertain.) A murderer telling a story that's in his best interest and his defense attorney being 'kind of sure' doesn't = fact.

Science, it works.

From what I understand, EOD personnel are trained in the use of the Barret for long range explosive detonation.

I guess you're right

However I doubt they would have the skill and endurance of real snipers. And it's still ridiculous that the British special ops were taken out like pansies and couldn't even repair their own tire.

From what I understand, EOD personnel are trained in the use of the Barret for long range explosive detonation. I can buy them taking out an entrenched enemy sniper, especially one bunkered in a lone structure out in the middle of nowhere (although this particular enemy sniper was pretty damn effective), but yeah...I agree that tagging the runner was a bit of a stretch.

I really did not like this movie. I just couldn't suspend my disbelief. I'm not an army guy but this movie was clearly ridiculous.

*spoilers*
First, them casually walking up to the bombs, they have those robots for a reason. But this is far from the worst.
They meet a special forces team and come under attack from an enemy sniper, presumably using a low tech sniper gun. The special ops fire back with a Barret 50 cal and miss. Then the special ops guy is killed by the enemy sniper. Now the guy from the EOD takes over the sniper rifle and sits in exactly the same place. He can't fire because there's blood on his bullets so he casually waits there (in the sight of the enemy sniper) till the bullets are cleaned. He misses a few shots and then finally gets the sniper. Then suddenly his skills increase tenfold because he hits a running Iraqi in one shot. EOD are not snipers!
Then there is the part in the city to a bomb site, and then run into a random city block looking for the bombers. And then they split up. WTF?
I'm sure there was more crap that I can't think of at the moment.

The movie tries to convey this gritty realism but then fails big time. I really can't understand all the praise it gets.

If I had children, I don't think I would want tiny, perverted, barret wearing elves sitting on the sink watching my precious, little girl make her poops.

IAOMT is showing a wealth of scientific studies that have appeared in peer reviewed journals that back their claims. So once again I'm showing that there is solid science behind these claims and that the issue is not black and white as you seem to think.

I thought you should know that yes, this is the same Stephen Barret that you've linked to.
Dr. Stephen Barrett of Quackwatch Exposed In Court Cases (2006)
http://www.whale.to/a/quck.html
1. Barrett has claimed to be a medical expert, yet failed his medical board certification.
2. Barrett has claimed to be a legal expert, yet has not studied law.
3. Barrett has claimed to have no ties to the AMA, Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and Food & Drug Administration (FDA), yet under oath he had conceded these ties.
4. Barrett has recently sued many times for libel and yet has never won a single case.

In addition, on April 22, 2003, A California Appeals Court, ruled against the National Council Against Health Fraud (NCAHF). The Court declared that Stephen Barrett (quackwatch.com), and Wallace Sampson MD (Scientific Review of Alternative and Aberrant Medicine) were found to be biased… and should be accorded little, if any, credibility.

one can read a copy of the Court document signed by Judge Fromholz, here

but my personal favorite is this
Stephen Barrett's Extensive Lack of Credentials,
Lack of Experience, and Lack of Board Certification

and if you want to talk about biased, you should seriously look up information on NCAHF as they are the posterchild for misinformation on health related issues.

Peter Green was at the heart of the British Blues movement in the 60's. He's a god yes, but his career was cut short due to the same problems that haunted Sid Barret of the Pink Floyd.

And no, this was before Lindsey Buckingham came into the group. Lindsey joined the group along with his then girl-friend Stevie Nicks. They had their own album out before joining Fleetwood Mac called simply "Buckingham Nicks".

Nope, never heard of it. Possibly JTF-2 use it, but I wouldn't know. Considering the fact that we aren't swimming in money, I strongly doubt the brass are about to switch from the C7 to something else (although they are going for the C7A2 refit, which involves a shorter barrel, collapsible buttstock, laser sight, and some other fun stuff). M468 looks good though -- I'm sure it's a superior weapon.

“Hey i in regard to you video post, i was wondering if you knew of any units in Canada that use the M16/M4 model that has the Barret barrel system? I heard a big fuss about this weapon system and then it got hush hush really fast.

It's Julian Barret AKA Howard Moon from The Mighty Boosh!
