Jesse Jackson claims semi automatic guns can blow up Railroads

small arms and automatic weapons

You have proven how many different ways someone can go off topic in a single thread to defend stupid comments made by a liberal. Who mentioned automatic weapons?

Your mission: Find a report of a plane downed by a semiauto

Try to focus, thanks

Still caught you and the rest of the nuts playing the fool. It only takes one case to prove you wrong.

standard army training - throw up a bunch of lead and hope something gets in the engine. heck a 5 year old with a slingshot stands a chance of doing the same thing.

use the find function for "small"

RPG ans Small on three. Shooting down a stationary scout helo hovering 20 feet off the ground is not exactly the same thing but whatever

[The Nature Boy 4,224]

They did? I guess US Army Doctrine is totally wrong.

Scare up the one about reacting to a nuclear blast to your front. I do remember that training. Standard:-- You just observed nuclear blast to your front. React we always thought that funny.

Yes the Army teaches that. I remember it .. The chances of it working.. The call in the golden BB for a reason

Funny you did not comment on the part about small arms knocking out a rail road.

So owning small arms to protect us from an oppressive government is a sound theory to you all of a sudden... sweet.

I am sure you have been to the depot and seen aircraft with the skin off - plenty of things for a bullet to cut. If you did any air assault, you know weapons were never pointed upward, either getting on, or off the aircraft, or while on board. The only US aircraft I would feel reasonably safe in would be an A-10.

Zoomies confort themselves with the idea of, "Big sky - little bullet," but it only takes one golden BB to take any aircraft down.

How does one follow from the other? Just because you can bloody an enemy doesn't mean you will win in the end. The Plains Indians were superior cavalrymen in all respects, just out-gunned and out numbered.

Shoot the brakeman.

[Usui Takumi 1,562]

Okay so we have determined that with a semi auto you have something like a .000001% chance of bringing down a plane. What about the railroad? Are they shooting at hazmat cars or something?

[himher 634]

Yeah, that's happened a lot. We should focus the entire national security infrastructure on that issue.

I'm pretty sure the job of a brakemen has either changed or does not exist anymore. Many years ago the breakman would have to initiate the brakes on each car. Now its all centrally controlled.

For freight trains, they still handle manual switching and making/breaking the trains. It is a physically demanding job. For passenger trains, they take tickets, and make sure all the doors are properly closed.

Sorry. I couldn't help being blunt. I will try to be more tactful in the future.

Are you sure? These days when a train is broken down in a yard they don't even use an engineer, its all handled by remote control I kid you not! Supposedly its more efficient.

[himher 634]

Me too. I didnt mean to stump you like that. Really.
