Just taking this spot so noone can say f****
I can imagine that guy got the marksmen status too
Thanks for not using the f-word.
I’d imagine this is why the military is asking for a larger budget.
If they can stop people from saying f—t in blog comments, I am not opposed to paying slightly higher taxes.
I would be willing to pay grossly higher taxes if I could watch how they do it.
You know, always been curious about those things. I know *nothing* about guns and hunting, but I see these at sporting goods stores. I’m told they’re used for killing small game. Is there a military application? Particularly mean-spirited bunnyrabbits?
nah… you would us the holy handgranade on bunnyrabbits… or was that rabid bunnies?
There’s no military application whatsoever. Assuming this is real (which knowing some soldiers, it very well could be), the guy was just bored and thought it’d be funny.
They’re only good for small game if you’ve got a pretty decent sized rock…I’ll stick with a .22 any day.
We used them to kill rats and things, the ammo is cheaper >.> much much cheaper.
I wouldn’t know about practical applications, but I’ve got one of those and they’re surprisingly powerful.
The ones with the wrist brace are deceptively strong. I’ve even swapped mine out with an extra elasticy (if thats a word) band and it’s scary sometimes.
Ya, I think they were called wristrockets and I was rather disturbed to see how hard they could strike objects.
I bought a wrist rocket for squirrels, but haven’t hit one yet. Those are
harder to use accurately than they look.
That they are. I never used one on critters and only had a chance to borrow a friend’s so my accuracy never really improved. I did see what it could do to things. Crazyness.
Oh yeah! Well can you say wristrocket five times fast?
Isn’t the hardest part showing the squirrel how to use it? Those little bastards are so hard to train!
My useless cats won’t listen, either…
lol, I’ll be the first to call ‘shop, but this is one of the cases where ‘shopped is better than not!
I don’t think so. Unless they managed to ‘sop his hands into different positions as well.
Hey you can perform miracles with todays Photoshopping technology.
But I agree that it’s highly unlikely. I think boaks just felt the urge to cry “‘shopped!” out of jealousy or some other such emotion.
It’s another version of ‘First!’… safely ignored as the meanderings of a cretin.
Remember David & Goliath from the Bible?
It was a sling, not a slingshot.
You mean from that one book?
What’s it called again?
…
…
…
…
I can’t remember.
Ahur.
Guess it’s not that important of a book anyhow.
I disagree. Fictional books like this can be very important sometimes.
Some fictional books influence society for years to come, like ‘Animal Farm’ or ’1984′.
There’s always some asshat who gets a thrill out of calling the Bible “fictional.” Hate to break it to you, but that approach neither makes you original or a deep thinking intellectual.
Evidently you don’t do crossword puzzles…
Or try to win at Jeopardy.
It would be advantageous in a situation where you didn’t want a lot of noise.
so would a silencer
Also a knife… if you cut real deep you can get the vocal chords severed and there is no noise.
Although, not as good on distance, and throwing a knife into someone’s throat takes a master-level knife thrower. Perhaps the amateurs should stick with silencers.
I remember reading that if you aren’t careful with the throat slitting, you actually don’t stop noise. They just make a weird noise before dying. But considering that I can’t even remember where I read that, I might be blithering nonsense.
I do remember that a stab to the brain stem will make instant ragdoll. However that requires the muscle and strength of blade to punch through a bit of skull…
Remind me never to steal your cupcake!
Wow, my mind is soooo dirty today. I’ll hold back on additional commentary about how to negotiate my cupcake out of my hand.
There are ways to quietly kill someone, this one is fairly quiet, but you would be surprised to know how far sound carries. Silencers are quieter than a normal weapons report, but *and it is a BIG BUTT* *waits for the giggles* you can still hear the noise from a weapons action even with a silencer.
I am a fan of the pick to brain rag doll idea but that requires getting close and that isn’t always wise or possible.
Is it a noise like a dying giraffe?
Not quite sure, haven’t heard it personally but if I read correctly it is rather high pitched because of how the air ways is compressed so I suspect something like an odd whistle or whine.
i always thought it would be a gurgle from blood, but isnt any noise easy to muffle if you cover the mouth with a rag?
If you open the throat, the air comes out of the throat instead of the mouth because the air would expel from the lungs.
Why? Do you know what a dying giraffe sounds like?
*backs away slowly with no sudden movements*
I can’t actually be the only person here who saw the South Park movie, can I?
No, I got the reference.
*makes dying giraffe noise*
Stab and twist. Stab and twist.
Exactly, no wonder we get along so well.
so… what you’re saying is that you’ve read “without remorse” by tom clancy? in that book there’s a scene where a dude kills his wife’s lover by sticking a cold chisel through the brain stem at the base of the guy’s skull…
O_o
I don’t read Tom Clancy… I usually stick to something science fiction or horror.
i haven’t read them since i was a kid… but good reading…
did you know that he wrote a book about the second iraq war almost a decade before we invaded? if only the bush administration had read more than the first 6 chapters…
That is rather creepy. Too bad they didn’t might have been a different ball game.
yeah… they might have found an ending that worked…
what’s even creepier is that the book a couple before in the series has a disgruntled airline pilot flying a 747 into a joint session of congress…
Wow, gotta love near prophetic writing.
I remember liking “The hunt for Red October” but I’ve not read any others… Any good?
Actually, a silent kill with a throat cut isn’t that hard. You drive the knivf in behind the voice box then rip it outward. Worst you get is a slight bubbling, and if you grabbed them incorrectly, urine down your leg…
Ah, thanks for clarifying.
Not a problem… pointless have the knowledge if you don’t share…
Precisely. Now to deal with those kids on my lawn…
from an other picture… don’t forget my method of making them edible
Duly noted.
Actually they train you to Not cut the throat, stab the kidneys. It is Quieter and no screaming.
Ooooh, that is something to consider.
Wait, why wouldn’t you scream if someone stabbed you in the kidneys?
*is confused*
Shock, pure and simple. A light tap of a knuckle get a wussy “ugh…” out of me so a full fledged stab would probably get TWO “ugh”s out of me before I can be properly finished off.
Awesome….
Hey my brother is in the army and I just bought him a sling shot anyone know who this picture is of or where it was taken My brother is stationed in Texas and I cannot tell if that is him or not.
Easy, just write him a letter and ask him if he
aimed his slingshot at Mr. Wilson.
That would be an interesting letter to receive.
“Hi, we’re from the internet. Are you Dennis the Menace? If so, can we has explanation as to why you shooted Mr. Wilson with your slingthing?”
You could try sending him a link to it and asking if that’s him in the picture.
You could look over old snapshots and see if he has thought bubbles
floating out of his head.
Dead giveaway that.
You could
Chill.
):
And they say the Canadian military needs funding…
I don’t see why they need funding, I can’t think of anybody who would want to attack them but that is probably my blatant American ignorance showing.
actually i believe they’ve been acting as an ally in Afghanistan. they may have left by now mumbling about stupid americans, but thats a little fighting at least
and Switzerland keep stealing their stuff
the russians want to cut the pipeline and invade canada through alaska. haven’t you ever seen red dawn?
What with the melting of the polar icecaps, there will be a feeding frenzy over mineral resources under the Arctic Ocean. The RCDF will have a bit to do up there.
I think they need it to keep the US at bay once we cut down the last of our old growth forests. Plus, didn’t I hear they found billions of barrels of oil there? Shale, or something like that? I wouldn’t want to be canadian when we start looking into that!
I see someone’s never been shot with a slingshot.
Let alone one of the good ones.
D;
They’re referring to the annoying blonde Dennis, aren’t they?
No, not Dennis Leary, the kid from the cartoon.
But but… I like Leary… -_-
I will freely admit that The Ref is my favorite Christmas movie, but I couldn’t resist that. (He can take it. Besides, I hear he’s something of a jerk in real life.)
Good point. He is the kind of guy that would hate me in real life anyway. So Nizzleflute him.
I will continue to love him from afar.
Ditto
For the love of sifnuta! You don’t have to be so hard on the guy!
Borking right, Jane!
*Click*
*AC understands*
Wikipedia clarifies….
I didn’t realise that there were 2 cartoons called “Dennis the Menace.” I just knew that there was one in “The Beano” and a live-action film about an annoying blonde child…
The blonde Dennis was marketed over here as ‘Dennis the Pickle’ (don’t ask me why… ) in the 1960s. There was also a live action TV series of similar vintage.
the Pickle?!
That just brings up mental imagery best left unimagined…
Wouldn’t dennis the menace be too old to join the army by now? the last time I checked maximum age to enlist was 42-43 (of course if you knew the right people you can get a waiver for nearly anything).
There’s a perfectly reasonable explanation for this. If anyone knows what it is, please post it here.
easy…soldiers having fun. They actually do have a sense of humor, a bit weird or fatalistic at times, but a sense of humor, nonetheless.
if your job was shooting at people wouldn’t you try to laugh when you could?
exactly — hence the sometimes fatalistic humor — take Prince whatever his name is — how much sh*t is he taking for just being a soldier?
From gallows, our humor is hung
For we know not when our necks will be strung
So laugh more than you do not
Since nobody knows their parting shot
*applause*
encore! encore!
With their lives, they pledge
To take the fight to Death’s sharp edge
Through rain or shine
They toe that line
Love or hate a war
We know the score
But honor their sacrifice
While leaders play the dice
They laugh or cry
Live and die
In lands far away
So here you can stay
And that concludes my encore.
This was great thx for sharing..I may steal it.
If I didn’t laugh, I’d cry
Shall I assume you liked it then?
It was beautiful.
*sniff*
I am honored that you liked it.
Why does that guy have a little sling shot instead of a, oh I don’t know, A GUN?! Makes me wonder… I really hope this is fake and that guy just wants to be funny!
he’s practicing for the next round of defense budget cuts. bullets don’t grow on trees.
*hugs* Thanks love
*hugs* Thanks love
Man, the edit on LOL Pundit has gone WAY down. How did a caption like this even make it into the running?
when your a buck private your the first to feel the defense department budget cuts.
or to parapharse Godzilla
” I thought i said we need bigger guns!”
It was probably a drill sergeant’s idea of a joke. The guy probably wasn’t hitting anything with his rifle on the range. I saw a DS once throw rocks at targets to mock a private’s poor marksmanship. He actually hit a few, the private didn’t.
“Private, are you unable to complete the simplest of tasks? I said to shoot the target, not attempt to get its attention for your sordid sex games. Bullet cost money and you are wasting Uncle Sam’s money. Do you not care that we’re in a deficit and your incompetence is hurting America? Grab a slingshot and use rocks. When you can actually hit the target, Uncle Sam might find in his mercy to allow you to use bullets again. Now sound off like you got a pair and get back to practicing!”
But first, drop and give me twenty!
Twenty push ups, not dollars. You’re making me worry about giving you bullets again private. Stop making me worry and push that ground down!
I don’t know what is worse… the fact that some people didn’t know what he was using, or the fact that some people actually thought the Army used those. And no, the image isn’t photo-shopped. Soldiers tend to get incredibly bored and do stupid stuff. Taking a wrist rocket to a shooting range is well within the range of stupid shit even I have done when I get bored (Yes, I am a soldier in the US Army).
Agreed. I had a Staff sergeant play “super mario brothers” with me today out of boredom, lemme tell you: he looks chubby but mario’s gotta have some stamina to keep doing that stuff.
I’ve also seen one of our guys run outside the wire and into an Afghani National Police station wearing an inflatable sumo suit (there was minimal risk actually: only 6 people lived in that town, the rest commuted), Two guys go sledding off a 40 foot drop into a snowbank, and other such sillyness.
We get dumb when we’re bored.
hahha!Im hit!
YOU LIE!
