Tighten your damn suppressor before you rock and roll.
He does a pretty good job of suppressing his embarrassment in video #1:
Video #2 though… “Stay clear guys, this is going to be awesome”. Everything is going well…. OH Wait jiggly suppressor! For the love of god… *JAM* *rack* *Bam bam bam bam* *JAM* (Repeat 9x). Embarassing! Now the classic “Bad ammo” cover-up. It’s Murphy’s law that if there are cameras and a group of people watching you this is exactly what happens.
The idea of somone caring about entering this “virtual” shooting promotion is funny. I’m looking forward to seeing the aftermath though. You can check out the promotion page over at shootmytruck.com. I’m not a fan of any contest (like this one) that requires you to install an “app” that spys on your twitter or facebook account.
I recall playing the original Twisted Metal back in the 90s. I remember it being fun at the time because you could beat the living crap out of the vehicles. Confusingly enough this new game is called Twisted Metal as well.
The upper receiver is a modified AR-15 upper that will feed with standard SAW M249 links
The lower and bolt carrier are stock with only a clearance cut added
Every other aspect of the gun is standard AR-15
I have no idea if they are for sale. My guess is that if the price was right (under $300), they would fly off the shelves. I even think people with regular semi auto AR-15s would buy them for kicks.
Geardo – One who spends at least 50% of each paycheck (before taxes) on the latest & greatest gear, just to have the latest and greatest gear, regardless of whether or not that gear will actually help the wearer preform his/her duties.
FOB (Forward Operating Base) – A secured forward position that is used to support tactical operations. A FOB may or may not contain an airfield, hospital, or other facilities. – wiki
S.A.W. (Squad Automatic Weapon) – A weapon designed to give infantry squads or sections a compact and mobile source of suppressive fire. SAWs are usually equipped with a bipod for stabilization and fire the same cartridge as the assault rifles carried by other members of the unit. The M249 SAW that is currently in use by the U.S. is getting ready to be replaced. Rumor has it that the H&K IAR is the replacement, although I have heard this is false and they haven’t actually won the contract yet (they are just the front runner)… we will see.
ACU (Army Combat Uniform) – The current combat uniform worn by the U.S. Army. Has a distinct new camouflage pattern. – wiki
If you are running out of sneaky hiding places for guns, this might be a viable option… Hide one in a book.
There are a couple of rules of thumb I can think of when it comes to choosing a book:
Do not choose a childrens book for obvious reasons
Do not use a bible.. thats just poor taste even if you are not religious
Do not use a good book.. one that someone will want to take off the shelf to look at
Do not use a book that someone will want to borrow
Do not use a book you think you might ever want to read, or re-read
Come to think of it.. “Barack Obama – The Audacity of Hope” is probably a good choice that will make sure you’re safe on all above points
What you need:
A book you don’t care about
2 thin pieces of wood a bit larger than your gun
A scroll saw or jigsaw
A drill and drill bit
A hammer
Some finishing nails
Rubber cement (optional)
Felt (optional)
Instructions:
Trace the outline of your gun onto one of the thin pieces of wood (remember this is your template, so leave extra room if you want for your hand so you can pull the gun out easily)
Take the book and separate out the pages that you want to be the core of your hiding spot (it’s recommended to leave at least a few pages on the top and bottom untouched for looks)
Fold the back and front covers towards each other so they are out of the way
Position the wood with the outline of the gun on it ontop of the pages you want to saw through
Position the other piece of wood at the bottom of all the pages you want to saw through
Hammer a few finishing nails through the top piece of wood, making sure they go all the way through the book and into the bottom piece of wood
Make sure the nails are not sticking out the bottom piece of wood. If they are tap them back a bit, otherwise they will interfere when you are trying to cut out the shape on the saw
Drill a pilot hole along the edge of your gun outline through the whole stack
Start the cutting from this position and slowly work your way around the gun outline
Once you are done cutting all the way around the outline you should just be able to pop the cutout piece out
You have your new gun hiding spot!
Optional: Paint the inside of your cutout cavity with rubber cement paste and line with felt
