Is Miss Pinky so that you can dispel the evil black rifle stigma?

 

Nope - I built that for all my Arsehole Army buddies that come into town a few times a year - they always wanna know what i've got that's new, and shoot all my stuff.  And my ammo.  I built that one so they have to shoot it, until I have enough pictures of them shooting it, then they get to shoot the other stuff...  :hethan:

 

Brother Rene - she isn't "thick," brother.  She's straightup FAT...   <lmao>

 

After launching cans, and drinking a few empty, we decided to experiment with the empties.  I still can't believe how fast the empty cans go, and how far they go.  I need to try out those little 8oz bastards...

Wish I could have come out. Instead, I was at home screwing up my back. I wrestled our leather sofa out the front door solo and into the garage...then moved our king bed into the living room. Gotta get the master bedroom set for demolition and the contractors on Tuesday morning. I was already sore from running the shovel yesterday...digging out for subgrade on the new foundation for the shed. It's been a shitty day and there's still so much to do. 8 days max til the new addition arrives.

I wish you could have been here, brother.  All the stuff you're doing now will pay off - the more it sucks while you're doing it, the more "worth it" it really is.  Can't believe there's only 8 days left!!!   :eek: :hail:

Those smaller dings were from the 300 AAC 220gr subs. Handgun rounds can be identified by the larger diameter dings. No handgun rounds penetrated, including 10mm.

That crazy 45-70 shot on the thick plate blew my mind - but scared the $HIT out of me afterwards!!!  :eek:

 

I hit that bastard and the whole setup flew, and it was loud - everyone looked out there to see what the hell happened, and i was already moving to the target-block-of-aluminum-from-hell.   The dent in the aluminum was impressive - but I didn't know that a chunk of that 405-grain projective flew back, and hit Shibi in the right side of his ribs... 

 

Could have been very, very different.  Instead, it was pretty badass. 

 

Shib, you have no idea how glad I am that it turned out the way it did - but I had two giant aid bags in my truck.  I would have passed out, but Mike would take care of you...  <thumbsup>

Good to know. I had a buddy who was shot in the chest with a ricochet fragment (5.56) back in the military days. Wasn't bad. Only a deep scratch but the motherfucker squealed like a pig like he was dying.

 

That was the scenario that was going thru my head when I realized what had happened.  <lmao>  <laughs>

We'll build a better one and perhaps develop a more accurate can. :D
