Here is a cool pic from yesterday.

Nice.Did you hit anything?

I see you had some fancy badges.

 

[Sylvain]

Im watching a cop show where a victim got shot with a ".223 milimeter round".

 

[Sylvain]

"The .223 is a sniper bullet, probably from an AR 15".

.223 a sniper round? hah...

 

[Sylvain]

.223 mm!

 

[SEIndSAM]

.223 mm!

That's a tiny bullet!!

 

[Caleb]

.223 mm!

308 is a sniper round

 

[Sylvain]

308 is a sniper round

I know, it's from a TV show.
.223 mm would be a TINY sniper round.They are not good with guns or even the metric system.

 

[churchmouse]

Depends on the sniper I guess.
I have hit Coyote from 300 plus yds. with a .223 and they did not like it at all. Ended badly for them.

Hey CM, can you get to NB I65 from I70 downtown at the split? Coming in from the east side.

I don't know where the construction downtown is??

Yes you can (or could a few days ago) as the construction is southbound down by Ohio street. If you come 70west to 65 north you should be OK

My MM foo is totally weak. I have the pocket reference for standard to metric.

Thanks, took me alot of searching, but I finally found a project map. It looks like I am good to go.

What time are you coming through. I am open tomorrow for the most part.

Usually journalists or people who write for TV shows like to add "mm" after a caliber since they know "9 mm" they think all caliber are in milimeters.
I have seen "1911 45 mm handgun" (tha would be a huge round! ) or "12mm shotgun" in the news.

Makes sense to the senseless I guess.

Where can I get one of those .45 mm 1911's

No it's no .45 mm, it's 45 mm.One would be tiny and one would be huge.

Those are 40 mm grenades so a 45mm handgun would shoot even bigger rounds.

 

[churchmouse]

Good night ingo. Another bust day tomorrow.



Be safe all.

Told you my MM foo was weak.....and yes, I still want the big one.

Good pic of you Sam!
Finally got back... it rained all day despite the radar saying it was clear. one muddy mess during cleanup, but could've been worse.
Got to meet JDMACK!
And I got to do some shooting (guns and not video/pics) today! Had a great time meeting new faces, and visiting familiar ones.
