Read the other reply as well. Then explain to me in regards to either how his back peddling on the modification to a m16 not being able be full auto, or "his knowledge of military armory workings" changes the fact that people are being issued modified weapons "has me."

He's not critiquing a games, he would be critiquing a game. Does that make it so games don't exist anymore? It's misspelled right? That IS how that works if I'm not mistaken. Oh! but I understood what you meant, see how that works? And he is a laymen being asked for his opinion, not a journalist.

From the article - "Palumbo—who's done work for Blizzard, Marvel and Wizards of the Coast—removes the iconic hat..."

As to stating you weren't suggesting it can't be altered, let's recap.

Oh no, I noticed it quite clearly. And stated in spite of what you said, "that they did in fact receive altered weapons."

Evidently from the other replies, it seems times have changed. Ever since Ned Flanders' Leftorium closed shop link had to swap to being a righty as he could no longer find a place that sells left handed boomerangs.

It reminds me of the art work for the Sword of Truth book series.

You can quote the history of the rifle all you like. It doesn't change the fact that the current issue M16 can be altered to Full auto.

The gun doesn't exist because of a spelling error? We need to get Dr. Who on the line for this one. Because something's not right when something's existence can disappear due to a one letter mispronunciation.

So I ask again, does that change anything about the interview? Does it change that he corrected what shotgun should be used to the correct one but simply mispronounced it and thus misspelled it?

You can, in fact most weapons are handed to you that way from the experiences friends have had.

The transcript is (sic), and would it change anything if it was spelled correctly?

I would think because spending five minutes with the weapon and a file turns it into a fully automatic weapon. I have two good buddies that did three stop losses in Iraq together. They were both reissued weapons along the way that were given to them already filed in this manner.

Firstly, myths are generally based on some semblance of the truth. And as we clearly cannot ask first hand, we won't know to what extent.

I just wish more people who preach teaching kids about guns at an early age would recognize that alcohol and sex is the same path.

Well, the insanity gene was strong in her family. She's a distant relative of Vlad the 3rd (the impaler). Which is also why some believe there was no trial. Along with her being royalty, they believed she might be a vampire. They were the royalty of Transylvania. As Vlad's infamy and rumors of such an affliction had…

Unfortunately if someone is willing to draw that sort of correlation they're likely a lost cause, or trolling on purpose =)

Agreed, slippery slope and all that.

He did have IBS( as reports from Theodor Morell have confirmed ), was addicted to pain killers and what we today consider meth. The vegetarian portion is widely accepted among people where I'm from, and I had never heard anything to counter it. But granted, just because I'm German doesn't mean I knew the guy's eating…

While true, we Europeans can turn on basic Tv and see full frontal nudity (in most countries) these silly Americans are still puritans at heart. But don't worry, they're still a young country and just haven't had the millennia to mellow out. Give them a few more centuries.
