The final match at the 8:00 min mark... wow... so close. THAT must have been a rush to watch or compete in.

Right!?

Let’s be honest... about the only thing worse than getting shot with some military looking gear, is getting shot by something that looks like Hello Kitty would own it.

Scenario 1: “I was hit with a 338 Lapua! The rifle was black with a collapsible stock!”
Scenario 2: “I was hit with a 338 Lapua! The rifle was…

Depends on the grade of the armor and the ballistics of that particular rifle/round.

Also depends if there is armor where the round is hitting. Ceramic plates make for terrible goggles. Hehe.

Meh. I’ll say background checks for armored vehicles (particularly with the option to shoot OUT from them) wouldn’t be a bad or prohibitively costly procedure.

Granted, that same procedure didn’t stop this guy from getting guns so...

Dang. i am my own worst devil’s advocate.

From the looks of it... he would have obtained armor-on-wheels somehow/eventually.

Sure, you could have bought the van, but he might have ended up with a BDRM-2 instead.

Extremely valid point. I was not thinking of the solely “for personal use” bit and because I buy and sell often enough —- I was definitely only thinking from that perspective.

At the state and national level you’ll see a lot of USAMU (Army marksmanship unit) guys and gals. Thus the black and yellow in the video, haha!

3-gun.
Shotty (generally a 12G semi, but you can use pumps)
AR Platform. (Generally one of the AR15 derivative platforms)
Pistol. (Wide variety)

Calibre, sights, etc. and detailed rules will vary based on what division you are in. Plus there are local 3-gun competitions etc. The competitions themselves vary wildly to…

As far as making your own... no. There is a whole lot of licensure that goes into legally constructing your own firearms.

Assuming you can legally own firearms... than yeah you can own damn near whatever you want (depending on particular state laws of course).

What are you getting away with?

Also... “fiddy.” Anyone that…

Beat me to it!

One of my hobbies is 3-gun.

(This isn’t me. I’m at an ametuer level and like “factory” and “practical” divisions)

The funny thing is... you can is the vast majority of states. The ones you can’t, generally have grandfathered laws.

The funny thing is, these states generally base their ban criteria on the size of the round (diameter), specify 50 cal BMG, or just ban certain rifles (the Barret).

Short-sighted laws...

Makes sense to pack it that way.

Oooo, they do have the UH60M/Sea Hawk stabilator on there. Shoot, drop that back down and unfold the mains... good to go!

Really? Dang. I thought that they could fit in a C5 (since it can swallow a C130 fuselage). I mean, the weight is no problem, but I see your point... probably just a bit too tall. Hey, that’s my mistake then! Huh... I guess they self deploy (as you implied with the AR) or require some contract lifts...

How is there anything in the gawkerverse that you are grey on!? hahaha!

Granted... everything in aviation is expensive. Everything.

Probably one of the cheaper “features” on the aircraft. But yeah, that folding tail pylon is like... four big bolts on the frame and I forget... 8(?) on the TR shaft.

The main rotor is quite a bit easier (the slightly awkward manually) to fold. Oversimplifying, but you remove one of these two main bolts (whichever is…

Right!? First time I saw that I was like “Well *^&$... that’s how they do it...”

1. So yeah, my snark aside... the Army’s tail pylon does fold.
2. Only our UH60M models have folding stabilators. The UH60A/L does not. We have to remove that big old thing if transport is tight. (generally when shipping them, we leave the stab on, the tail pylon in operating position, but fold the main rotors. Plenty…

I thought the Whitehawk... being a Marine bird... was based on the Seahawk, so I used a pic of a Seahawk. That was conjecture on my part. Either way... um...
