I can honestly say JM that i have heard about this thing called freedom over the big waters in the land of the eagle, that bears her stars and stripes. i would say it is most certainly one of my bucket list items to come and visit the "colonies".
However never say that here in SA. google their opinions on colonialism and you'll see why
As for @Nemo. i have been shooting firearms since i was 8 years old. i may not look it but i love the smell of gunpowder.
I have shot with quite a few types of weapons, strangely though, i have not fired a shotgun and would not pass up an oppertunity to do so either.
The last time i fired an AR we went through quite a few rounds, tons of fun.
Not a big fan of revolvers but do love me a vector 9mm SMG full auto. but my favourite would be a hunting rifle.
and then i have always wanted to fire a M110 Semi-Automatic Sniper rifle.
But.... 6800B AX50 black rifle... if i ever get the chance to fire one of those, i would be over the moon.
Anyhow
Hot and sweaty we do every damn day here in Southern africa... it is very much hot here.
Salut Nemo
