I don't like morons who can't learn from their mistakes.

I like to make use they no longer have that excuse, whether it hurts the tender little feelings or not. The dumbing down of our society should be a crime.

'Reckon that's all in perception ain't it pard? Maybe some people don't use the emoticons... but that's their choice.

Hey, Sonora Rebel, you didn't use the emoticons. He may not get it.;)

Edit: Forgot my emoticon:banghead:

I'm sorry that you do not have the cranial capacity to actually read the subtleties of a joke...i mean...i can see how missing the zombie reference could be real easy for someone who just skips the words and just looks for the pictures. Without pictures, however are you to understand what the grownups are talking about? I'm sure you have a very nice collection of Clifford the Big Red Dog in your library so I can see how the need to read more than one sentence at a time might be difficult for you.

But you are right...and i'll utilize what you just said so you understand EXACTLY what i'm talking about: if one wishes people to recognize that they are being funny when using the written word, one needs to use smaller words and pretty pictures so that the simpleton reader who would otherwise cry about being too anally retentive won't bitch and moan. One would think the mental tools made available to any high school educated adult human being (and some chimps i'm sure) could be utilized to show what you mean exactly. If they are to stupid to to use those tools, or too busy flinging their own feces, well I have no tolerance for that stupidity. Soooo...looky looky looky...:celebrate:celebrate:celebrate:celebrate:celebrate:celebrate:celebrate:celebrate:celebrate:celebrate whose a big boy who likes bananas? whose a big boy who likes bananas?

:cry: Don't cry bear 45/70...now think real real hard

What the problem is mainly that you just don't get it. The way he worded the little comment was basically saying you don't need lots of mags because he refuses to communicate effectively. But then if he spends most of his time dealing with morons like you I can see why he doesn't have too. I think I will leave the shallow end of the gene pool now and go speak with adults now.

I'm not going to say that there is no such thing as a functional 40 round drum for a 1911--just that I've never seen one in person, or even heard a verifiable second-hand account of such a beast.If you get hold of one that works, many people would appreciate knowing the particulars of who made it. Thank you in advance.
I held both 20 and 40 round drum mags fora 1911-A1in my sweaty paws yesterday. I've seen them in various catalogs including Sportsmans Guide. However...

Maybe for clarification I should have stressed the word 'FUNCTIONAL' in my earlier post. Various outfits have been making such hi cap drums for the 1911 pistols for many years,I just haven't seen any of them work well, if at all.

Depends on how many zombies you need to kill when they rush you before you have to start reloading. I guess in that case it also depends on how many bullets :lol:.

Fixed it for yah, but honestly I "Got it" before the smiling packman dude.


If were talking Zombies, then I would prefer a belt fed .22 :cool: (notice the smiley so I don't get railroaded :p )

You obviously have never been in combat to make this statement.

First off, you shouldn't make assumptions. Secondly, i thought it rather obvious that I was making a joke...you know...the fact that i was talking about zombies. Thirdly, I'm not sure how my reference to the walking undead equates to my combat experience.
You want to joke on the internet, you need to learn to use the emoticons. It's a real bitch deciphering your tone of voicefrom the printed word.
rolleyes.gif

Who are you...the internet police? Im talking about ZOMBIES...the walking UN-DEAD. If that doesn't clue you into the fact I was joking either you believe zombies exist (in which case i suggest Max Brooks book on how to survive a zombie attack) or you really need to find a sense of humor. :celebrate
Waita minute...are you saying you don't think zombies are real? Did you ever see nancy pelosi???:what:

Enough to keep a stedy supply going into the gun. Now do you have enough family
members to reload the empty mags, this is more important to keep up the defenses.

How many magazines do you need?

Oh... Oops.. Wrong kind of magazine.....:uhoh:

You mean, it depends upon whether you can actually read, or are like Bear.

If I'm at a match I like to have 3 times as many as I need in any one match-up. Sometimes I get called back up to shoot before I have time to reload, especially toward the end of the day.

Since my wife also shoots my gun, we sometimes shoot back to back, extras come in real handy.
