Gee, what an original concept for a gun, doesn't even use a plunger.

Actually the original strafer was responsible for the revival of interest in vortex/cloud type BBMGs, this was back in 2003 when everyone was trying to figure out how the heck it looked like internally: http://www.spudfiles.com/spudtech_archi ... it=strafer

Really the idea is much older though: https://docs.google.com/a/google.com/vi ... 083349.pdf

In that case, I take back all my sarcasm. Quite innovative considering, but you'd think they'd update it after all this time.

Yeah, from what I can see they upped the pressure and the materials/look but the basic concept doesn't seem to have changed much.

That strafer video reminds me of the beaching scene from "Saving private Ryan"somehow...

I especially like the first can on the right turning around while getting shot...asif it was turning away from trouble...

:D

Why it hasn't changed?
What did they say about winning teams?

It would be so much better if they gave it a plunger but then I would feel really bad for Neospud.
Would he be credited or even payed? Guess not.

I'm betting Polandspud is practising his quickdraw with that big Remington New Army revolver right now..
( You thought it was a Colt Walker didn't ya!?)

Four days before that, the alternative high school senior was pulled over in nearby Farmington Hills and ticketed for possession of marijuana and drug paraphernalia. He later received a 93-day suspended sentence and was placed on 12 months' probation.

You can receive a 93-day suspended sentence with 12 months probation for possession of marijuana in the U.S.? I assume it wasn't enough to be charged with a felony (i.e. dealing quantities) but that sentence sounds pretty harsh. In NZ the best case scenario would be the officer just chucking away the drugs and letting you off with a warning. Down from that would be getting arrested and being held for a few hours at the station before being released. Further down from that would be diversion (if you're a first time offender your conviction might not be followed through and you wont go to court if you co-operate so as to take strain off the court system). Worse case scenario would be a conviction for marijuana possession which is pretty minor (you wont be allowed entry in to quite a few countries though) and has a fine of a few hundred dollars.

You can even get diversion if you're caught cultivating marijuana I'm pretty sure. You wont end up in prison unless you're dealing by the pound I would think.

So I guess my question is, can you actually end up in prison for possession of small amounts of marijuana? If so, no wonder you guys have so many people in prison :D

Down here, they don't even take it away, at least the cops I've met. They just say not to smoke in public. Fuck yeah decriminization.

ASVAB is a sort of broad spectrum test which they supposedly use to dish out jobs once you're in. MEPS is a unified processing "plant" where entrants from all the services go before going to boot camp.
