Zombification

So its my second or third day of being a zombie...  Shuffling around all day like an unemployed drunk... wait a minute... maybe Tony Vaan Helsing has a point.

My first clue came when instead of eating brains I've been eating tuna helper.

The possibility of me being a zombie, albiet a relatively articulate one, still remains

Boredom

So I'm just kickin it here, and i've got nothing to do.

The xfiles is a pretty sick show.  It kinda reminds me of SVU, but kinda spooky.

I pretty much watched the whole series in a few days,

maybe I'm a zombie now, hard to tell

AK 47's for everybody!!!

So, we all know the about the Automatic Kalashnikov.  Along with the M16 its pretty much one of the worlds best known rifles.

The most famous AK is of course the AK 47, which fires a 7.62x39 round.

There's also the AK74 which fires a 5.45x39.

Here's the two next to each other.  Due largely to call of duty people often assume that the 74 is physically significantly smaller than the 47.  This is of course a misconception, both guns come in a variety of sizes.  This is the AK74su from CoD:

The 74 was the Soviet response to the nato switch from 7.62x51 to 5.56x45.  The idea behind this was that the side that fires the most bullets usually wins.  If bullets are smaller, a soldier can carry much more of them.  A soldier with an AK47 carries 90 to 120 rounds.  One with a AK 74 could carry 150 or more.  Even though each round packs less of a punch, the sheer volume of them makes up for it.  Also a new thought is that smaller faster bullets are better at armor piercing.  Despite the existence of the 74, the 47 of course remains popular across the world.

Enjoy, more next time

Gin and Tonic... and otter pops

So today I am done with finals.  I proceed to have some gin and tonic.  My friends inform me that gin and tonic has more than gin and tonic in it.  This is unfortunate.  My drinks are warm.  They also taste like crap.  I put cold otter poops in my drinks.  Not only do they cold the drinks up, they also flavor them up to.  Highly recommended to those of you of legal drinking age.

So... Fallout.  Good guns mostly.  They often reflect real life in execution.  The .357 magnum can fire .38 ammo!  The 5.56mm can fire .223!

That being said the laser guns and carbines are poor.  The "service rifle" is a good AR15 replica, firing 5.56mm ammo, but the M4 (assault carbine) fires 5 mm ammo.  I'm sorry but if it looks like an M4 and it shoots like an M4...

10mm is questionable.  10mm is the 40 s & w for big people.  I really think the 10mm is an underdeloped round I would love to learn more about ( no disrespect, I would love to be proven wrong).  The 10mm SMG is an amazing gun though!\

Energy weapons:  Well... you all know that the plasma rifle is the ultimate choice in home defense, but a laser rifle is best for combat in open fields.  Make the choice that is best to you.

Listen.
Guns in fallout are realistic.
They are not real.

Thank you for the great question Ke3user!

Illzior

Osamas dead, bang bang!

Because I had to

Jägermeister

So at some point this weekend I opened a bottle of Jäger.  I walked downstairs and started casually drinking redbull and Jäge............

.....................ITS MORNING.  I'M NOT REALLY SURE HOW I GOT HERE.  NOW I'M SITTING IN MY CHAIR.  I'VE GOT THAT MORNING FEELING.  THAT MOURNING MORNING FEELING.  BUT NOW I AM EXISTENTIAL.  TRULY ON THE edge. ITS LIKE THE TWILIGHT ZONE.  or maybe the 

twig light zone.


SO NOW I'M STILL IN MY CHAIR.  ON PLAYSTATION.  fallout New Vegas.  GOT A BEER.  2..  3... 4.....


STILL PLAYING FALLOUT.  MORE FUN WITH BEER.  NIGHT FALLS.

I'll have to write an expose later.

UPDATE!!!
something even more alarming:

PSN out. So I bought the new fallout

I just got fallout new vegas because all my games are online... gah!  I'll write a review in a few days when I've played it a bit.  I'm also thinking about starting a series on assault rifles.  If there's anything in particular you guys wanna know about let me know, and I'll do some research.

Peace

Mossberg 500

Since the post about my steyr did so well compared to my other crappy posts, heres another one about my shotgun, the mossberg 500.  I bought it from big 5 with a 18.5" Barrel and a 28" barrel with a modified choke.  Out the door it was about 300.  Excellent value.  I've never actually used the short barrel, so just be satisfied knowing it's there.

The long barrel is amazing.  I take this thing trap shooting every so often and it always performs amazingly.  One of my friends once shot a 24 out of 25 with it.  Its a very lightweight gun because of the synthetic stock,  so it swings well.  It does kick quite a bit but if you've shot a rifle before you can probably handle a 12ga target load out of this.  Slugs are a different story as are buck, but as a big guy I really don't mind too much.  It has a huge squishy butt plate that makes it nice and soft on the shoulder.

With slugs its pretty accurate, and with buck you get a nice spread, but I'm not a hunter so I don't really give a good goddamn about that.  Tons of mods are available for it to make it into whatever level of tactical shotgun you want.  I'm also not a paranoid gun nut so I have no interest in turning my delightful sporting arm into a destructive device, like dis:

Thanks for the readz

camping

I went camping this week at don pedro reservoir.  That shit's tight.

Beautiful lake, but don't bother stopping at the island closest to the dam.  It is a goose nesting site and it's full of goose shit.  Not a pleasant place.

Peace

Steyr-Mannlicher M95/30

So today I’m going to review my rifle, the Steyr-Mannlicher M95/30.  It’s a beautiful bolt action rifle from WWI/II.  It has a straight pull bolt that makes rate of fire very high for a bolt action.  It also shoots pretty much straight.  I find that its more accurate than me at 100 yards.  And it shoots a pretty huge bullet the 8x56r  if you’re into hunting. 

Don’t buy it. 

“Why not?” you ask.  I’m getting to that part you impatient ass.  First, it needs clips to fill the magazine.  If you don’t buy clips, you can only fire it one shot at a time.  Also, the feeder is unreliable.  Most of the time when you pull the bolt back, it ejects a shell, and pushing it forward often does not actually load a new round.  Now remember that huge round, the 8x56r?  Yeah, its pretty much the only gun that takes it.  It's expensive and hard to find.  You can find hornandy ammo at cabelas, but for me that’s a 5 hour drive there.  You can buy surplus, but its all Nazi or Czech crap.  Not only is it “collectable,” or expensive, half of it doesn’t fire.  Yeah, and the original design for the gun was a much larger gun, with a smaller bullet.  It breaks itself a little bit every time you shoot it.

Original Gun:

So, to sum it up, only buy this if you just like the gun, the history (google it), or need a single shot, accurate and powerful hunting rifle.  

These Damn Kids

You wanna know what pisses me off?  These kids and their damn acronyms and abbrev, which from here on out will be called A and A for short.  Or even just AAA, wait... 

For those of you who don’t grasp my meaning I mean: Lol, omg, U, luv etc…

But what pisses me off even more is that people are bothered by it so much.  I consider this development an annoyance.  I know a few people who think this is going to be the end of the English language as we know it.  Omg.  All these kids know this shit.  They can communicate just fine with each other.  Isn’t that the point of language?  When people argue with me about this I remind them that the word knight was once pronouncet kuh nig hut.  Its called a language shift.  This is just a very rapid language shift due to the speed of communication.  They are making their language more efficient.

But Illzior, you say, what about poetry?  You are a dork for asking that question, and if I knew where you were I’d ride my Harley to your house and give you a wedgie.  If there’s something I hate more I haven’t found it (ooh, he’s foreshadowing.  Good one Sherlock.)  But it’s a valid point.  If these kids slim down their vocabulary too much they won’t have enough words for proper poetry.  Oh no!  The words still exist.  “Thou” is still a word.  No one is purging all our dictionaries of their poetic words.  Get over it.  Or maybe poetry could be more efficient:

U lol @ me cuz

 I luv enuf 4 2 ppl

so y u no want?

Tadah!

It all makes sense now

Looks harmless, right?

ALL TREMBLE BEFORE ILLZIOR

I figured I would clarify.  Notice the top hat and monocle.  Despite my monstrous size and appearance, I am still one classy mother compared to stick figures.

First Post

I've decided to nurse my inner intellectual by exploring the prestigious and enlightened form of media known as blogging.  As a historian I will bring you perhaps the most influential material you have ever seen.  Daily.  Or maybe not.  Maybe I'll spend most of the time talking about firearms, automobiles, gambling, cheating, carousing, imbibing spirits and perhaps most important of all, shenanigans.  Needless to say you can always expect semicolons.  Oh, and Monocles!

Enjoy
