As a child I was taught the concept of inflation with this analogy:

If Joe has 1000 oranges and you really really want one how much would you pay? If Joe has 1 orange and you really really want it how much would you be willing to pay?

I never forgot the story of the guy with oranges that “I really really wanted”. Anyway, here is a modified version of the story:

If Joe has 1000 SCAR 16s rifles and you really really want one how much would you pay? If Joe has 1 SCAR 16s rifle and you really really want it how much would you be willing to pay? Answer: $9500

Michael Bane commented that while the SCAR is cool, 10 AR-15s are a much better!

This has been making the rounds:

Always read the small print.

The greater the Accessory : Gun weight ratio, the tacti-cooler a weapon is.

I got a good laugh from the comment by Jim on The Gun Nut’s blog

The vast majority of American hunters/shooters couldn’t hit the broad side of a barn @ 100 yards offhand, yet we set our guns up (even slug guns and muzzleloaders) with scopes the size of the hubble telescope (just in case) we need to shoot @ a deer on Mars.

DoubleTapper describes the latest wedding he attended …

I sat at my assigned table with 9 other guys. Of the 10 of us, there were 3 Glocks, 1 Sig, and 2 S&W’s. It was a little weird until I realized that 3 of the guys were under 21, and 2 were still in the IDF and had their duty weapons stashed under the table.

I have got to attend a Jewish Israeli wedding in my lifetime! Seems like an event not to be missed

I am sure you have heard of MetalStorm, the Australian electronically fired stacked projectile artillery system. Now there is the DataStorm. It is a full auto system that uses surplus floppy disks for ammo. I want one!

I came across this post at RFC by “_Shorty” showing photos of his Limbsaver Barrel De-resonator. It is a rubber thing that slips onto a rifle barrel that, in theory, dampens the muzzle vibration improving accuracy.

When I looked at the photo I though it must be a joke. I mean look at it … remind you of anything?

It’s not a joke, they sell it. Maybe it is just me, but I could never put something like that on the end of my rifle.

Because magazines also like to keep warm…
