Here it is.... http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0093773/board/nest/3387857 Fire away.

Meh, the dude's a fanatic, probably would do no good. He would want to see a pic of them where you can actually see their feet on the floor or something. After all, Mentzner could be standing on a platform, and Arnold is 6 inches below him . Like I said in my post on IMDB, his height really doesn't matter, the dude is larger than life anyway.

Whoa, took the Arnold height issue over to a thread at IMDB, it was met with a chilly response. Of course, most of the pics that guy points out as "proof" involve Arnold in the foreground, and persons in the background.

OK, on to unbelievable movie guns... I'll start off with "Old Painless" Ahh, Old Painless, it's a pity you would never work in real life... And here's why... http://www.kitsune.addr.com/Firearms/Machi...214_Minigun.htm

Dude, if your name was as long as his, you'd get tired of signing it too!. Hell, my name gets tiresome, and my last name is only 8 letters, Arnold's is 14!!

Ah yes, the shortsighted politicians.... "Let's make guns illegal, then noone will be able to get them". Of course, by definition, a criminal is someone who has no regard for the law, and as such, they will get a gun no matter what. So, in essence you're disarming the population, and making them easy prey for the scumbags out there that have no regard for others property or well being. And in order to defend yourself, you have to break the law, and by the law of averages (being more of us, than them) you would be the one who got pulled over and had the gun found in your car, hence making you a criminal, when in fact you are exercising your god given right to defend yourself. "The world is a happy place where if there were just no evil guns, everyone would get along." Bullshit, the world is run by animals, albeit, the most socially advanced animals, but animals nonetheless. If there were no guns, people would bash each others heads in with sticks if they really wanted to. Violence is human nature, get used to it. Guns don't kill people, PEOPLE kill people. Yes, the gun makes it a bit easier, but so does the knife, sword or stick in the hands of someone who knows how to use it. Why do you think police departments nationwide have the 21 foot rule? "Can't we all just get along?" Ultimately, NO. Human nature's a bitch aint it?

So, then Canada is basically falling in line with some of the more pinko left wing Democratic states here in the US, no surprise....

And that's the moral of the story... It's good, but IMHO, it's $40 good, not $60-100 dollar good.

I got the first DVD from this series from some dude on Ebay for like 10 shipped. After watching it, I was left with a profound sense of . The TA's are B) The Plot is Overall, i'd give it a

HA!, CROM laughs at the vertically challenged!

If you do..., get the Collector's Edition. http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detai...&s=dvd&n=507846 But, if you do not listen... Zen da hell vis jou!

Oh wow! Those are awesome! The detail in the Father's sord is really wicked. Maybe if I put off some Macross purchases I can justify spending that kind of cash. Also, after having drooled over that site for the last two days, I realized that the guy making these swords is Jody Samson, who actually made the original swords for the movie... So, it's not just some company who snagged the license, these are made by the original prop manufacturer. I have always wanted the Father's sword, since the day I first saw the film, I never did understand why they had Conan break it at the Battle of the Mounds scene in the movie. I guess there was some symbolism there in how he took the shards of it, and beheaded Thulsa Doom. Either way, now I have something else to lust for...

Because they're smoking crack.

On to the edged weapons gentlemen.... You WILL NOT BELIEVE THIS !!!!! http://filmswords.com/news.htm Working, functional repros of... Conan's sword Conan's Father's Sword Other swords from Conan Connor Macleod's Sword The Kurgan's Sword The Kurgan's TAKE DOWN Sword, with carrying case. That's it, I need to sell off a kidney.

Oh, crap, in the name of all that is good and pure.... http://filmswords.com/conan/conanframe.htm Would that I had $3500 bucks I didn't know what to do with....

Don't get ahead of yourself man.... Those rifles are still conventional ammo firing weapons... 5.56 MM gas blowback with a rotating bolt is nothing new, as a matter of fact, it's 30 year old technology. The electronics of the weapons are kind of neat, but I won't get excited until we get a good modern caseless round out there in military circulation, or better yet, beam or plasma weapons.

The only .380 Colt ever made to my knowledge was this one. It resembles the Walter PP, more than the PPK. Colt Model 1908 Pocket Hammerless.

Gonna take this opportunity to bring up something I found really funny a few years back. 40 Things I Learned From Watching Independence Day (ID4) Some really good cliches in there....

They won't specify per individual weapon, but per the TYPE of weapon. In your state the semi auto BAR may be considered a regular rifle, or it may be considerd an assault weapon. Here's how it works in Maryland, most states are probably similar, if not easier since Maryland is the anti-gun, pc capital of the left wing world. Since the BAR has a box magazine that is located foreward of the trigger guard, the anti gun pussies in your state may have deemed it EVIL looking, and put it on the list of "assault" weapons. If that is the case, then you will have to treat it as a pistol purchase, and put in the paperwork, and wait 7 - 14 days etc. If it is not on the list, then it is treated no differently than any other semi auto rifle, and can be purchased over the counter by anyone over the age of 18, and carried out of the store that day. If you buy a full auto version...(first, the weapon alone will cost you thousands). You must obtain a class III weapons permit - This basically means that you have to get permission from your State Police, and the FBI for you to own the weapon. The fine print on the class III permit usually stipulates that you will store the weapon ONLY in a proper safe, and that it will be there AT ALL TIMES. The finer print usually stipulates that the FBI or the State Police can come in and search your premesis AT ANY TIME, to ensure that the weapon is indeed in your posession, and being stored properly etc. On top of that, it costs at least 100 dollars for the application fee, and it doesn't end there, usually, you have to pay a fee every year to keep the class III permit active. In the long run, they try to make it financially prohibitive so that only dealers will really be able to comply with all the crap they make you do. Additionally, as expensive as .30-06 ammo is these days, you would probably only be able to afford to shoot the thing once in a blue moon, and when you did, you'd drop 50 bucks in about three seconds flat as you emptied each magazine.

The other side of this coin.... Everyone can totally understand the wheezez, beeps, farts, and googles made by every droid or computer system in every show as if it's plain English. OR Everyone can understand every other alien race though they may have just met. I mean, really, if Wookies are known for being violent, and ripping off limbs quicker than a staten island ferry, how the hell did Han Solo manage to stay alive long enough to learn how to speak Wookie?. and for that matter, why did Han speak English to Chewie, and not Wookie if he knew how to understand it?. If Chewie knew English, and Han knew Wookie, why didn't they decide on one or the other? Hell, at least Star Trek explained it all off with some pseudo science a la the subdermal universal translator! AND - as pointed out by Gobotfool... Star Trek explaining away every new race with a different shade of skin paint, and more or less foliage on the head. The worst example of this were the Kazon, with the piles of Broccoli on their heads. I'm waiting for one of the crews to meet a race of interstellar Cuban refugees whose fruit basket hats eventually evolved into a skull plate.

So what's nessesary to get one of those? Check this link for info from your state: http://www.packing.org/

OK, here's a pic of my tricked out S&W.

Man, I had no idea that this much gunplay took place in China!?. Or were you somewhere else when these pics were taken Graham? Gonna have to post pics of my PPC tricked out S&W Model 10. It's a .38 Special with a tuned & timed cylinder, weighted barrel, adjustable sight, and filed off hammer spur making it Double action only. Looks kind of like Vash's gun but blued... Time to take a pic...

dunno... just saw it on another forum I frequent. Nice isn't it? Vostok 7 Made by Beretta, looks neat, but is basically a hopped up pistol frame. http://www.berettaweb.com/Beretta%20CX4_St.../CX4_storm1.htm Looks primarily designed for civilian fun gun use.

Are you sure about that model number? Diemaco's web page only lists the C7 in 5.56. http://www.diemaco.com/sal-Rifle%20C7.htm IIRC, they do make a bunch of variants, so maybe it was a different model. I can't find the link now, but I had it once before. Maybe I'm getting confused with the Armalite AR-10, I know that one is in .308. Check out this link btw - talk about a dream sheet!. http://my.tele2.ee/algus1/Assault%20rifles.htm Mmmmm, FN-FNC, forgot about that one too, even though it's in that pussy little 5.56 caliber.
