Cyrano4747: Sep 25, 2006; American planes, full of holes and wounded men, took off backwards from an airfield in England. Over France, a few German fighter planes flew at them backwards, sucked bullets and shell fragments from some of the planes and crewmen. They did the same for wrecked American bombers on the ground.

Once in a while there is something redeeming. Watching the very beginning of American Guns (they make a belt buckle gun for a bullrider). The redeeming part is the very beginning the owner and his son are shooting milsurp boltys at a bag of flour about 75 yards away.

They do one of the highspeed/high frame slowmo recordings of the shot that is very popular on these kinds of shows.

Watching that k98 flex so badly when fired pretty much shows me there is pretty much no firearm in the world short of a giant solid steel bench cannon that doesn't barrel flex like the dickens when fired.

Don't suppose you've got a youtube link to that or a gif or whatever? I would love to see that, but don't watch those shows any more for sanity's sake.

So, strictly for curiosity's sake, which episode and season was that in, and roughly where-ish time-stamp wise?

I caught it off and on and it was alright. Don't expect Deadwood: Railway Edition, though.

It was the one that aired this week. Wikipedia says it's episode 211, "Motorcycle Shotgun", and I'm pretty sure it was in the cold open before the title sequence.

areyoucontagious: Jun 13, 2007; Hell is other people.

So I'm just now watching Sons of Guns, and have a question: does Will actually end up "revolutionizing" modern military and LE operations with his crazy guns? Like with the masterkey setup he did for the swat team, or the "rugged" AR that they sold to the security contractor guarding the nuclear power plants. Do those companies actually buy a ton of those, or is it all just for show?

He revamped a boat for the local PD, with an automatic grenade launcher, machine gun, and smoke launcher- does the PD really need all that poo poo?

I started watching "Magnum PI" on netflix. It is much better then I thought it would be. I was really surprised how much it deals with his PTSD from Nam. There are a ton of flashbacks and a bunch of scenes that deal with his memories of war.

Higgins was the poo poo. After watching him in Bridge on the River Kwai, I couldn't help but see him as a former WWII POW who adopted some of the culture of the Japanese who had imprisoned him...

The waggle on the AR and M1A are very similar and minimized. I would like to see how any of the bigger old DI rifles waggle. Rifles like the Ljungman, Hakim, and any others I do not know about that shoot a full rifle cartridge.

New Favorite Magnum PI Moment.

He hands his gun (a 1911) to some chick so she can cover the bad guy while he runs off to do something else. He gives her the gun and kinda aims her in the right direction then runs out of the frame.

And then runs right back in and flips the safety off for her.

What does this hour solid of Tom Brokaw Greatest Generation horseshit have to do with the loving 2012 Olympics?

Jesus christ. gently caress NBC forever. This takes their botched coverage to new heights.

I watched NBC Olympic coverage for about 30 minutes total this whole Olympics, it's so bad. Thank crap for CTV except for the loving "I believe" song and Brian Williams being a pompous rear end.

Also I find handball loving hilarious. It's a game played by primary school kids that made it in the Olympics. Next they should add tetherball!!

Consider their preferred audience.

Also, there was a BBC piece that didn't even come close to American shores about black dominance of sprinting events.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jmvtwjqYZcY

I saw an actually GOOD YOUTUBE COMMENT that basically said the BBC is creating high-caliber production material for the Olympics while NBC is basically aiming for a reality television experience.

MisterOblivious: Mar 17, 2010

I'm so very, very glad my exposure to the last 3 Olympics has been almost entirely through video streams.

The Comcast/NBC stream this year has been entirely painless: no loggin, no silverlight and hosting by YouTube. Watch live or click a day, pick the sport and watch a replay. It would be nice to have some commentary but I've heard nothing but complaints about NBC's commentary.

It would be nice if they didn't play that Gotye clip so often though.

It's actually pretty popular in good chunks of Europe. I used to see the Berlin handball team advertised all the gently caress over the place, and whenever I saw them on TV the stadium seemed to be pretty well full.

I was watching team handball a bit... felt sorry for the goalies, they got scored on so much. It's like the anti-soccer.

Also, is it bad that I want to see what "Stars Earn Stripes" is like? The commercials were all over the NBC Olympics coverage. I have to admit, I liked "Combat Missions" way back when -- that was a Mark Burnett show, too (featuring Scott Helvenston, the Navy SEAL later killed in Fallujah while working for Blackwater.)

gently caress that show (I'll still probably watch) but I'm sick of "rich stars who could pay to do this poo poo on their own get a free chance to rub it in your face that you CAN'T be on a show with a premise this cool"

I'd be a LOT more interested in shows like this and "who do you think you are" if they featured real, normal people rather than rich famous people. I'd be even MORE interested in Stars Earn Stripes if they had pulled the contestant pool from arfcom and TFR exclusively.
