Very Cool Weapons

[Crystallas]

how about developing new Yo momma come backs? Now those are great weapons.

What about samurai katana , they are cool and really quite beautiful.

Yep, they certainly are. Actually, most antique Japanese weapons - including their guns - are a masterful fusion of form and function. Their armour was pretty **** hot, too.

I thought it was love of guns that did that

Well golly gosh gee -- it's not as if I'd dare voice an opinion against you Mr. Administrator Sir, even if you might just possibly be incorrect on this matter -- so please, don't consider this an opposing view on my part, as much as just some factual stuff that I found.

Oh yeah, I figured it right -- here we go: A fear of weapons is a sign of retarded sexual and emotional maturity." -- Sigmund Freud, General Introduction to Psychoanalysis.

Shiiiiet, how sad is it, when the ADMIN on a board takes potshots at a new member -- and they still screw it up? I mean, it's bad enough to have my posts edited, but this is just pathetic.

Ease up on me, dude. You're running a real Mickey Mouse show. Back off.

Whoaaaaah, PM Pah.. thats why PM is there. We are all friends here, and get into heavy, but highly respected arguments. Dont take it personal or get offended.

Nah, it's okay -- I think my post should stay. I already did the PM thing, and it had no effect...

I may be new to this board, but from what I've seen, Pah's been doing this kinda stuff before, to other members. And that's not cool. Just cause I'm new to the board, doesn't mean I've got to put up with that. I'm here to contribute, and I think I've done so, this far.

Just as an aside, if someone else had said something as simple and innofensive as ,'I thought it was this that did that,' would you have taken it as some sort of personal criticism, or assumed that the person had the wrong end of the Freudian stick?
Just because he's an admin doesn't mean he has to refrain from having and expressing an opinion. If you've had posts edited then it is for a valid reason, not because of personal vendetta.
My personal experience of Pah is that he's very fair to everyone, including people he doesn't agree with or especially like. Have you considered that perhaps you're reading something in to Pah's posts that just isn't there?
Now, I've gone way off topic here and possibly my post will be deleted. Will I take it as a personal attack? No.

I won't delete it - although it might have been better placed in 'site feedback' forum - but thank you all the same for trying to make the peace.

I havent fired my bb gun in a long time. I have shot mainly my airsoft's for fun, since plastic airsoft bbs cost much less than thier smaller, metal counterparts. Does anyone know if B.B. is supposed to stand for anything?

It stands for Ball Bearing the origional ammo

Oh yes, those little Ball bearings that are such a nuisance for pheasant shooters, when they have to be extrated, before the bird is cooked - how 'Gentile'

In the gun control issue, those that oppose gun control have used the arguement that a fear of guns is linked to sexual inadequacy. On the other side of the issue, those opposing guns have said that the gun, as a phallic symbol, compensates for a sexual inferiroity.

I believe it was Freud that said all weapons are phallic symbols.

 

[michel]

Oh, I am sexually inadequate?........ I'd better tell my wife.:biglaugh:

 

[Pah]

Yeah - whether you own a gun or not (or so it would seem to those that argue the issue)

 

[Shadow Wolf]

I believe it was Freud that said all weapons are phallic symbols.

Wasn't it Freud that said EVERYTHING is a phallic symbols and evy action done by any human is done with a hidden sexual drive motivating it?
Freud did come up with some interesting concepts thought, such as the various levels of consiousness. But I know theres not some sexual purpose as to why I used a green marker to label a CD I just burned. I don't even associate the color green with anything sexual.

I enjoy shooting, but have rarely ever done it.

Paintball is wicked fun, even when your father shoots you on the thigh from 4 away at your bachleor party. (We were each hiding behind the same wagon, he spotted me first).

I think stun weapons could be very usefull. Imagine being able to sweep an entire enemy stronghold with sound or light waves (or whatever) and knocking everyone out. No deaths, situation handled.

Or DO you, Luke?! :biglaugh:

No such thing as a COOL weapon. they are all bad.

High rate of fire is not the answer. Hiting what you aim at is.
But who wants to kill people.

Actually, the reason I was saying that these are cool weapons is because they include non-lethal energy weapons. For example, a gun that will make a person feel intense discomfort, stun someone, or temporarily blind someone; all in an instant with out non-combatant causualties.

Granted there were some more lethal energy weapons discussed in the article, but the beauty of them is that they can strike with such precision whether or not you hit a target wont be a question.

Ooh, now that makes all the difference; that's well and truly acceptable! (NOT)

Beauty of them ? Please, remind me never to ask you about Ugly!!!:banghead3

no they were actual ball bearings not shot as in shot guns.

Agreed about Guns. But I do know a little about them.

Yes, it does. Here's an example: quite a few years ago there was an incident where two men tried to rob a bank with full body armor and armor piercing weapons (or automatic, I can't remember the details). They held the police off for hours until some armor piercing weapons were brought in and one of them (maybe both) was shot. Now, if the police had possessed any one of these weapons they could have stopped this without any causualties or permanent injury. The effects of these weapons are not permanent and can stop potentially deadly situations.

Beauty of them ? Please, remind me never to ask you about Ugly!!!:banghead3

Another example: "Generic Terrorist A" and "Generic Terrorist B" are firing at "Generic Soldier C & D". "Soldier C & D" need to return fire, but terrorist A & B are in are firing from within a group of people (let's say a religious gathering of some sort). If the soldiers fire back they could potentially kill one of the people in the crowd which would only escalate the situation. However, if they had one of these weapons they would be able to "take out" Terrorist A&B without hitting any innocent civilians. Sad as it may seem, varying degrees of force will always be needed.
