I'm curious as to why someone who's handle is shorthand for 230 grain Round Nose (AKA Hardball .45 ACP slug) is asking for 135gr .38 Special ammo ?

Eclectic tastes.  If it hurls anything out of anything, I use it.  Slingshots included.  Low on that particular .38 loading for Smith Airweight.  Avoiding dark alleys, bus stations at night, etc. to prevent having to use it all up.

Usually carry 1911 only in winter or in summer under a Hawaiian shirt.  And each March 29th to honor Saint John d'Utah during the Feast of the U.S. Pistol, cal .45 ACP, Model of 1911, now known as Automatic Pistol, Caliber .45, M1911

birdman, don't forget to apologize to The artist formerly known as fistful's mule.  I don't remember his mule's name, sorry.  You don't have to apologize to his goat, as far as I know.

Terry, 230RN

What a crew...  :facepalm:   :lol:

2 points for not getting running the hellack out of here, yet.   [popcorn]

I'll take a Budweiser just to piss all the beer snobs off and some .308 if you don't mind. At the current prices about 3 rounds should just about cover it.

Now, back to Japan, but only because you asked us not to, that's how it works around here. ;)

Current thought on the board is they have had the following: earthquake, tsunami and nuclear meltdown with highly radiated water flowing unimpeded into the sea. In your highly educated nuclear opinion wouldn't Godzilla rising from the ocean be the next logical direction for this scenario to take? Others think it's Mothra but I tend to disagree. Your thoughts?   [tinfoil]

You forgot the two (or is it three now) new earthquakes.

With that many shifts of the magnetic poles and the Earf's axis we should have both Godzilla and Mothra by now, as well as a strong posibility that Speed Racer has crashed freaking Chim-Chim has been driving Mach 5 for the last few days.

Since these things have not occurred, it must be the result of something that has to do with the nuke-you-lar plants.  So, Mr. Smarty-pants NewGuy, tell us what perzackly it is.

stay safe.

If you don't know who fistful is, 'flush out your head gear, new guy'.*  It is a prerequisite for joining this board to learn about 'teh fistful'.
If Mothra and Gojira haven't shown up at Fukushima yet, it is both disappointing and must be fistful's fault somehow.  Gojira could put an end to the radiation release very quickly, and save Japan in the process.
I'll take a few rounds of 30-06 152 grain, please, to feed my Garand, with some Black Butte Porter to enjoy afterwards.
And welcome aboard.

* an easy one.

Flush out your headgear...FMJ of course.

Okay, now for some weird movie trivia as a diversion
Name the movie where each thing is mentioned:
Krell metal
WOPR (extra points for what it stands for without googling it)
First movie with a Barrett 50?

Name the actor:
Got into fights with man playing a machine, and in another movie, fought machines as a man

Name the actor who has had all of the following roles: FBI guy, CIA guy, Army NCO, drug dealer, private detective and cop.  Extra points if you can name the most famous historical person the actor also portrayed.

It's quite simple....but first tell me, do you want to have children in the future?  If you do, it's a little more complex.

Kidding though.  Mini reactors, very difficult (minimum size is driven by mean free path of a neutron, and minimum shielding is driven by mean free path of a gamma ray).  Mini nuclear batteries...much easier.  If you google miniature RTG, "nuclear battery" or the like, you will find several examples, some of which I've done some work with.

In that case how far away are we from the self contained mini reactor for the home? I happen to be slightly familiar with Nukey-Poo but even that one would be too big for home use. We'd need something that fits under the kitchen cabinets like a dishwasher. I'm almost kidding but not quite.  =)

I'd be happy with the Nuke-In-A-Box that was mentioned here a year or two ago. It was a nuke plant in a 10 foot cube-size concrete container that could be easily placed in remote locations to provide power to about 100 homes.

Yeah, that specific one is not only extremely expensive (on a per home basis), but has some material issues I've never seen resolved.  Mine are bigger (5-50k homes), but cheaper, and not that much bigger (think large barn)
