RECCE ROOM

For review today, we have Federal American Eagle 50-grain varmint tipped ammunition. In my area, this can be purchased at Walmart and Academy. It usually costs about $10.99 per box of 20. My M16A4 rifle loves this stuff. For this evaluation, I shot a 5 shot group from 50 yards. You can see the results in the pictures above. SPR This rifle features and 18-inch White Oak Armory barrel. It might be my most accurate rifle. However, the twist was 1:7. I used a 14x scope to make the shot. Clearly, this rifle does not like this ammunition. Perhaps it is the twist rate. SDMR This rifle features a 20 inch heavy barrel from Model 1 Sales, with a 1:8 twist. As you can see, this rifle did like this ammunition. This group is almost as tight as I got with my M16A4. I used a 14 x scope with this rifle, as well. M4 This rifle features a 14.5 inch barrel with a pinned 1.5 inch flash hider. It is cut in an M4 profile. Unlike the other two rifles today, this rifle is not free floated. Also, I did...

Picture this: You are patrolling along, and suddenly you notice enemy movement about 200 yards out. Can you make a head shot in one shot from that range? For this experiment, I decided to use a couple of parameters. First, I decided to use a cold bore. Second, I wanted to try both 55 grain (M193 clone) ammunition, as well as 75 grain precision match ammunition. Additionally, I wanted to walk around for a few minutes to simulate having been on patrol for a while. Why 200 yards? My standard loadout ammunition, as well as that of many other people, is M193 55-grain ammunition. M193 is approximately 4 minute of angle (MOA) ammunition. 4 MOA at 200 yards is approximately 8 inches. 8 inches is approximately the width of the average human head. Also worthy of note, is that M855 ammunition is also approximately 4 MOA ammo. M855 ammo is another common ammunition for load outs. The Range. For this evaluation, I did not have access to a 200 yard range. I was at a 100 yard range. Therefore...

One of the main reason that feminists are always so angry, is a very simple study. They are against concepts that have worked for the history of humanity. And they are in favor of mindsets and methodologies that simply do not work. Feminists are against the patriarchy. The funny thing here is the fact that no society has ever survived without a patriarchy of some sort. Even the Founding Fathers of the United States saw fit to put into position a president ... at a time when most of them were most angry at a king ! Feminists are against natural gender roles. For all of human history, man has provided, and woman has beared and reared children. Feminists believe in the "strong, independent woman." And they don't even see the irony when that "independence" happens because a man is paying thousands of dollars a month in alimony and child support. Feminists despise men. Indeed, feminists despise all that is the very essence of humanity as a whole. The only wome...

This past Sunday,  I watched the WWE Royal Rumble. It was an entertaining event without a doubt. Not all of my favorites won, but that's life. In fact, the picture here is of HHH, who won the titular event at the show and, as a result of a stipulation of this year's Royal Rumble match, the WWE championship. As I watched, my wife and I observed an interesting phenomenon. For years, the bulky muscular (steroid using?) wrestlers get the push - like HHH here. However, fans in recent years want to see different wrestlers get the push into the spotlight. Wrestler AJ Styles made his WWE debut in the Rumble match, and it seemed he was the one most admired by the fans in the arena. Styles is anything but the muscular stereotype that has been pushed since the mid 1980's. If there was any one wrestler who got a similar reaction, it was Dean Ambrose. Ambrose and Styles are of similar build and size. Prior to them, the most beloved wrestler seemed to be Daniel Bryan - who is even sma...

Recently, as I was checking in to a hotel on the job... Me: Good evening. How are you? I am [Usagi] and I should have a reservation. Clerk: I just about bashed your head through that wall. You gave some sudden yank of the neck. I played nice and got the room. But it has been a while since I've run across such a strange statement out of a person who is supposed to be in customer service. Posted via Blogaway

Some things to consider for your trunk gun: You may or may not want your trunk gun to be your primary SHTF rifle. If you travel far, and have to park in areas where theft may be a concern, then you may prefer to have a relatively inexpensive trunk gun instead of your primary SHTF rifle. If you primarily stay closer to home, and your parking areas are not a prime theft area, then maybe your trunk gun should be your primary SHTF rifle. If you are travelling with your family, or friends with whom you would otherwise be bugging out; then maybe it would be a good idea to bring your primary SHTF rifle as your trunk gun. As always, consult your local laws as to the legality of keeping a rifle in your trunk. Posted via Blogaway

Tips to Ponder. 1: Tape the muzzle of your rifle in rural/wilderness environments,  to keep out water, dirt, and other debris. Condoms, or 100mph tape are good to use. You can shoot through the cover if needed with no ill  effects on combat accuracy. 2: Sleep with your weapon locked and loaded, safety engaged. In case your awakened by hostile or hostile fire and have to engage bad guys RIGHT THE FUCK NOW! 3: In the morning, consider quietly replacing the chambered round. Condensation in the chamber combined with powder residue could lead to stuck cases. 4: Lube your weapon thoroughly every day in the field. A wet weapon is a happy weapon. Like your woman....Carry a bottle of lube on your first line gear. Motor oil will work. 5: Keep your safety selector switch on safe UNLESS YOU'RE KILLING SOMEONE. Don't want a negligent discharge because your fingering your trigger. 6: Keep your weapon as slick as possible. NO unnecessary crap. A light, an optic, and a sling. Mission de...

I offer to pay for something for someone else. The payee accepts. The payee says no longer necessary. The payee changes mind... and I'm happy to pay. But the payee changes mind again, now wants no payment. A little later, the payee tries to make me feel guilty for owing him. So he is paid. I've the money for the same, 50 times over, it's not a matter of whether it can be avoided... but it's a matter of the payee changing his mind. The payee has done similar with many people in the past. Many people. The payee, the last time out, brings into question my ethics. Yet it is he who constantly changed his mind. Unfortunate story from the annals. Posted via Blogaway

Communication Tips: 1:Transmit only when necessary. Idle chatter may distract the recieving party. It may compromise his and your position. All communications may and could be monitored. Do NOT discuss the weather, sports, or anything else irrelevant to the mission. 2: Limit transmissions to 5 second intervals. Anything longer than that is almost enough time to find you with even moderate equipment. Insert breaks during longer transmissions. 3: NEVER USE ACTUAL NAMES over the air. Use Fire Team designations. 4:Always speak clearly. Never pause on the air. Know what you are going to say before you key up the mic. Also know what your response is before you key the mic. DO NOT KEY THE MIC UNLESS YOU ARE PREPARED TO SPEAK. 5: Do not step on eachother. Always say "Over" when it is time for the other guy to talk. Always say "Break" when you are not finished, but are keeping the messages short. When 2 people are talking over the radio, DO NOT SPEAK unless you are call...

When I was first married, I'd run out late one night on an errand. When I returned to the apartment, the door was locked and my wife had applied the chain lock, as well. I was able to open the door a couple of inches before the chain caught and prevented the door from opening further. I called into the apartment for my wife to come unlock me. However, my wife had gone to sleep in the bedroom. She couldnt hear me. Now I was a strong young man and was fully capable of destroying the chain with a single thrust. However, that would surely have damaged the door and we would, no doubt, have lost our deposit when we left that apartment. So I drove to a phone booth (this was prior to widespread cell phone use) and called my apartment. My wife answered in a groggy state. She said she would be awake when I got back to unlock the chain. She wasnt. I went back to the phone booth and called again. She promised she would be awake this time, but I knew better. I told her to go to the door and...

From a Libtard commenting on the President's executive orders on "gun control" - True question, not trying to be snarky, but really wanting to hear, those of you who are opposed to common sense legislation, what specifically do you have a problem with? What part of the President's positions do you not agree with? Actually, that's a good question. 1. The executive orders are unconstitutional. Therefore, I have a disagreement with the way the President handled this. If you want a law, it goes through Congress and the Senate. But, that brings us to the second point... 2. Rights cannot be infringed. A law is unconstitutional if it infringes or strips a right from an individual that is specifically protected in the Constitution. Therefore, no act of Congress could strip or infringe upon this (or any other) right. But, Obama knew he'd never get these orders through Congress anyways. 3. Criminals won't be affected. Even if we completely disregarded po...

My son's first ever hunt for deer was a success. The deer was taken with a single shot of .223 Hornady hollow point - boat tail ammunition. The 75-grain projectile passed through completely, leaving an "ice-pick" style entry wound and a half-dollar sized exit wound. On the inside, the lungs were decimated and the spine severed. There was minimal meat ruined. This 85-pound doe (dressed) dropped where she was shot. There was no tracking. No need to follow a blood trail. She died instantly. She did not thrash or kick. The other deer in her herd took off immediately. Though no follow up shot was needed, my son had 20 rounds of ammunition in his magazine. His AR15 sports an Eotech holographic sight, zeroed at 50 yards. The shot was made, ironically, at just a bit over 50 yards. For some reason, my son declined to eat her heart raw immediately after the kill... still trying to figure out why. The hunt took place on a friend's property a little ways south of town. The d...

Add this (overheard from someone who either has zero martial arts knowledge, or very little) to the growing list of stupid things that people outside the martial arts say about martial artists: I have respect for Greg Jackson, but he ruined Jon Jones. He made Jones too tentative . He made Jones think too much. Jones used to react and demolish people. Now it's like he's not aggressive enough. Folks, Greg Jackson is the reason Jon Jones has continued to have success. Posted via Blogaway

Another reason to vote for someone other than Rubio - Rubio joins with Democrats  on a bill that will deprive those accused of rape on college campuses of their right to due process. Marco Rubio says all of the conservative things, then votes all of the liberal ways. Just like Mike Huckabee and Jeb Bush. Posted via Blogaway

A Christmas gift from my nephew (age 8) and niece (age 5). All the nephews and nieces call me "Uncle Bunny." My niece had a bit of trouble spelling it, but it's cute nevertheless. Posted via Blogaway

Many moons ago... My sister has a lifelong friend (LF). There are literally pictures of them in the cradle together, all the way up to current day events. As a function of difference of age, I did not happen to see her from the time she was about 12 until she was in her mid-twenties. At the earlier end, I began college. As soon as I graduated, I married and moved away. After the meeting that took place in her mid-twenties, she remarked to my sister (in print, no less): " your brother has really calmed down ." The irony of LF's statement was not lost on me: All throughout school, even as a wee lad, I received marks of "plays well with others," and "very serious and studious." School teachers I've reunited with, to a man will all remark that I was so serious and adult-like. My martial arts instructor, Sensei Suarez, has made the same remark on more than one occasion. Many high school friends,  upon reuniting, comment that I haven't changed a...

I no longer make New Year's resolutions. Too many of those are broken and forgotten. I do make commitments as needed, and here are my commitments for 2016: - I shall see the "undsrside" of 200 pounds. - I shall make a "pro" post every day to Facebook. - I shall continue to prepare mind, body, and skills for the unexpected. "Pro" posts on Facebook: I am pro-life, pro-gun, and pro-family. These could be read as anti-abortion, anti-gun control, and anti-feminism. However, it is far better to be for something than merely against something. A positive attitude goes a long way. Last, but certainly not least... I shall continue to live as a man: my life to the fullest. Posted via Blogaway

A female I knew from high school puts this on social media: Lord let me get through tomorrow and then I'm good #wouldhavebeen18 #anniversarynot Let's make sure we are all in the clear here... - You asked for the divorce, not your ex. (Women initiate the divorce 75% of the time or more) - You now work in a retail establishment, making just above minimum wage, and you make sure to complain about that at every turn. (Nearly 50% of divorced women fall into poverty) - Divorce should be a source of shame, not attention-whoring. (But then, a lot of things   used to be shameful and aren't any more) Posted via Blogaway

In several different places over the past few months, I'll see a parent asking how to deal with a child who does x ( insert behavior here ). At the end of the day, this is a superbly simple question to answer. First You must realize that people are social beings. Humans are pack animals. When you realize this, you are 90% there. Second People follow leaders. They do not follow those without authority. If you want authority, you must assert it in no uncertain terms. Third If you are a leader, and want a desired behavior, keep in mind these maxims: - Reward desirable behavior. - Punish undesirable behavior. - If you do not punish behavior, it will be viewed as desirable. Do these things effectively, and you will always have success and be viewed as a great leader: - Communicate; especially what is and is not allowed and what is and is not expected. - Reward / punish fairly, not based on emotion. Do not punish based on anger. Do not fail to punish based on compassion. ...

Observed several times during this past Christmas season: Merry Christmas to those who celebrate it. Then why on Earth would I say "Merry Christmas" instead? - I am not politically correct, and the statement in question is. - I would rather everyone have a Merry Christmas... not just Christians or those who otherwise celebrate Christmas. Everyone. It's kind of like saying "if you're Christian, have a great day, if not, piss off." And that would not be my intent. Posted via Blogaway
