Never ask what kind of computer a person uses--if it's a Mac, he'll say; if not, why embarrass him?

Ya know Shadow... The iMac i'm using was only $800, and it came with about $400 in free software-stuff that actually useful (unlike any crap that comes with Dells!) And If I wanted to play Iron Belt, I could just boot up Windows XP (on my Mac) and still kick your butt because it runs XP faster than most native PCs. But why boot up Windows? That's like changing the oil on your brand new Porsche and putting in wiper fluid! You were right about the dimensions. New one has been reposted! And besides... who buys discount ammo? I'd take top accuracy for a few more bucks anyday (and my Mac deserves better) LOL Ah, a true beliver, another MacUser. My work here is done! Resistance is futile, you Windows geeks will be assimilated. I've said all that about the MacIntel machines and IronBelt, but no one listens. Probably a worthless map, anyway. LOL. And here's my handgun story: I wanted one so so bad, I owned lots of air pistols and air rifles and even an early versions of an airsoft-like Walther. Anyway, when I hit the age of legal purchaser (in Tennessee, so long ago now I don't recall if it was 18 or 21), I went in to the local gunstore and looked at a few handguns. I had seen the Al Pacino movie "Serpico," so I wanted especially to check out the Browning Hi-Power 9mm. The one they showed me had such a strong mainspring, that when I racked it, the slide pinched my thumb webspace and I started bleeding all over the gun, my hand, and the glass counter. I was trying so hard to act as if nothing had happened and to sort of hide the blood, and the salesman, bless his soul, also acted as if nothing had happened. Anyway, I bought instead a little inexpensive 22 auto pocket pistol--waste of money, started jamming on each shot after the first 50 rounds I put through it, but it was fun until then, and a good sized carry piece--as the Browning was much dinero !!!! I still have that little 22, don't know why, sentimental, maybe.

Here's a good one! Photo taken just moments ago featuring me and my trusted Glock! Correction. You and your trusted Airsoft Glock. So, Mr. Missouri State Highway Patrol Policeman and SwatPerson, it was so obvious that you'd automatically know not to shoot this young fella if'n he pointed that Airsoft weapon at you DANG, YOU'RE GOOD!

Nah, I would smoke him for aiming something like that at me on a dark night. My identification was greatly assisted by a still photo!

LOL, and probably stand over the body while reloading and saying something to the effect, "And get a REAL gun next time, junior!"

The one they showed me had such a strong mainspring, that when I racked it, the slide pinched my thumb webspace and I started bleeding all over the gun, my hand, and the glass counter. My dad used to have a Browning hi-power 9mm and it shot beautifully, but you're right about the thumb webspace: if you're not careful while firing, the hammer will kick back and pinch ya pretty hard too. Last year I fired my neighbor's glock .45 ACP and ever since I've been dying to get (a real) one of my own.

Red... have you tried using CCI stingers in that lil 22 I have a lil pocket one too jams with the low power cheap ammo.. works like a dream with the CCI...
ok mac user... lol diffrence is i dont have to load up anyother os to play the games I want. My pc is compatable with the games off the shelf ... less the vid card that I have to upgrade due to my own stupidity for not checking that out first.
Sounds like sour grapes to me saying "I've said all that about the MacIntel machines and IronBelt, but no one listens. Probably a worthless map, anyway. LOL." iron belt is a kick ass map very nicely done and rules for sniping.. hehe load up xp on your mac and check it out sometime hehehe. laters

LMAO! Good call Des! I wondered how long it would take for someone to catch on. I'm only 19, so owning handguns is still off in the future... Move a little south to Indiana, and you can carry concealed at 18.

[glow=red,2,300]LOL now thats funny.... It is ok M&M we all I think have a bb gun, paint ball gun, or air soft gun in our houses... just glad that you are one of the only teens left that dont own a real hand gun. Esp. here in Vegas, its getting way out of hand, every morning I turn on the news to hear about some teen killing another teen, had 8 teen deaths this week alone. Remember, guns dont kill people, people kill people. Oh, by the way, welcome to the forems, and yes, see were you not just asking for proof today? LOL there you have I do exist lol. [/glow]

Move a little south to Indiana, and you can carry concealed at 18. Yea... In MI, you can own a rifle at 18 (which I proudly do), but you can't own a handgun until you're 21. :-( Nice one Garpy!
