Did anyone ever get an identity for Gecko45?
« on: January 01, 2009, 04:51:21 PM »
I'm wondering if he may be one of the technical advisors on this new mall ninja movie that's coming out...
 
Betcha they got the idea from Teh Interwebz...

He's known to a few THR/TFL mods.

Supposedly, the whole mall ninja thing was totally tongue-in-cheek.

Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

From Gecko45's supposed myspace page.

I use only Second Chance Body Armor, with IIIA level ceramic plates, and sew in (well my wifey did) another IIIA plate in order to maximize my protection. We carry Springfield XD's with .40JHP ammo, but I always carry some FMJ bullets which I slit and X on the point, making them incredibly powerful.

Yep.  Used to blog under the name ColtCCO.  Got slammed to the pavement a while ago down in TN when his jacket pulled back and revealed his pistol and somebody called the local police.

When Fly320s said "Knoxville, TN" ColtCCO is the first person I thought of...

Used to work at Coal Creek Armory, I think.

Culturally, as an Icon of Gunshop Commandos everywhere, we need to see if we can get his masterful strategizing recognized - get him PAID by the promoters of the film... So he can afford that 400 round/day habit...

In lieu of paying for him, you could pay for me to shoot 400 round/day.

GunKid on the other hand, really was just straight up nuts. And in prison at the moment, I believe.

So, Hollywood is listening?
Why can't we get them to take their darn fingers off the trigger when they're
showing "professionals" chase bad guys?

Politicians and bureaucrats are considered productive if they swarm the populace like a plague of locust, devouring all substance in their path and leaving a swath of destruction like a firestorm. The technical term is "bipartisanship".
