First Gun

Ok, I haven't decided yet, but once I make sure I have enough money for both the gun and some range time I think I found my first gun.  The Ruger MK III.  It's the 22/45 with a 5.5 inch barrel.  

I got a lot of recommendations about this gun and being  .22 it's super cheap to shoot.  Also, this one has some adjustable sights so thats a plus.  I think eventually I'd want to upgrade the barrel, trigger, and grip, but I don't think you really have to.  

I'll keep you updated on the process but if you have any thoughts, feel free to share.

A friend of mine took me shooting the other day. It was a blast! These are the only pics I got though... we did trap first (shotgun & clay pigeons) then pistol at 25m and 10m (with a Sig Sauer P226) then the AR-15 and SKS at 75m. I'm going again next weekend, will get to use an M14!

AK 47 vs M16

This video clearly shows some interesting things about each weapon. It looks a lot like the AK is more of a machine gun than a rifle, being semi-spray and pray and the M16 is a surgeons rifle, but I have seen some AK's pull some really tight groupings. I guess it depends on how well you keep it clean, your own accuracy, and proper sights. But still a very interesting video.

One round or two?

This is probably one of the coolest things I've seen all year!  I have to get these for Christmas and for only $13, heck, I'll probably buy them myself!  The picture does show them in a super cool crystal clear look, but I bet you won't get the same results.  

I read something online that if you double boil some water, then add that to your ice trays you won't get cloudy ice cubes.  I've never tried it but I guess boiling it twice gets rid of the minerals or something.

Look for black GMC's with a circle on their roof...

I live in DC so I would expect that I see one of these sometime. I'll just check for their roofs.
