    a 120mm main gun on an M1A1 tank. Also, the SAW isn’t bad either…

  2. The Mattel toy association with the M-16 , although commonly believed, is a myth. It was designed by Eugene Stoner and manufactured by Colt.

  3. tonyb says:

    that short black dress, those high heels and that AK-47 look cute together. the american M-16 rifle was made by Mattel toys before. and it has a plastic stock and the grip in front. That must mean the people who made barbie dolls make the M-16 rifle unless that changed. I want an AK-47 of my own too! Let’s have a Russian Revolution right here in America!!

    I know a few good guns…
    MP5, a popular S.A.S. gun made by Heckler and Koch
    RPG is a truly remarkable weapon, a terrorist weapon too, it is in GTA IV…
    What about a Glock, cheapest weapon to buy and is in GTA IV.
    A Desert Eagle? A .50cal pistol. Strongest of all pistols!
    Also the awesome… high velocity weapon, the M4 Carbine!

    My personal favorite lesson and now an owner of this rifle. :grin:
    I also got a hold of an AR-15.

  9. Berkaichu says:

    AK-47 is a great rifle in most games and it’s my favourite weapon in GTA IV :cool: . By the way, what’s the origin of the word [infantry] ?

  10. karlzona says:

    Lovely Marina, you forgot to mention the AK-47 was also coppied from a German design, just like synthetic motor oil, the US Mercury space rockets and so many other advanced inventions we still use today.

  11. nightrider says:

    Mine is an M-14… (glass packed if possible.) Used one in Vietnam… damn fine sniper weapon. A BAR isn’t that shabbly either…. :-)

    Each time I watch those videos I want to know the words, but I always end up getting dreamy about you :oops: , the latest trick I developet is that I turn around while the lessons are up :wink: :lol:

  25. bbenoe says:

    I watched the Russian version and enjoyed every second of it. It was a proof for me that Marina is a genuine Russian woman.
    Maybe it is not true, but I hear a little English accent in her speech. But this is same sweet like her Russian accent when speeking English.

    (I do speak Russian njemnozhetchka — a little.)

  26. Dear teacher,
    The french army created the “Famas” a good weapon, not as famous as the AK 47 but as reliable. We also have a terrible weapon, it is called “le sourire” it doesn’t need ammunition and it has amazing effects!
    Thank you for the lesson, (the russian version is pretty funny)
    Amicalement,
    Don Felipe Gonzales

  27. Given the amount of interest in firearms exhibited in this thread, I am surprised no one noticed that the ammunition shown in the video is not for an AK-47. Even without seeing the headstamp, I am pretty sure it is 7.62 x 25mm, probably for a Tokarev pistol. I recognized the shape of the cartridges because I used to have a Chinese “Tokarev” copy in that caliber. See:

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/7.62x25mm

    I could see how one might think a picture of Soviet 7.62mm ammunition would be for the AK-47 since it seems to have the correct designation. However, the AK ammo is 7.62 x 39mm, which looks quite a lot different when you compare the two cartridges side by side. These is just such a photo on the Wikipedia page for the AK round:

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/7.62x39mm

    Of course, this has no bearing on the etymology of the AK-47 designation. Just an interesting aside.

    • tedt says:

      Hm, I think a 7.62 x 39mm round is the most common round for any kind of Assault Rifle or other type, the old G36 also use the same rounds, the Rifle that German soldiers use nowadays holds the same rounds….

      Pistol rounds are shorter, and I on´t want to stomp on our trusty teacher when she don´t know what rounds a gun holds :smile: .

      It truly is the etymology we watch out for.

  28. tedt says:

    The only thing I know about this gun is that a classmate his Mother can handle it from the smallest part up to the biggest.
    In the time of the Cold-war, they learned all kind of things in school, he told me. (hey, this grammer thingie realy helps :lol: )

  29. graffspee says:

    I have to say that as the Ak-47 is one of the first real Assault Rifles it was not the first. The first “True” Assault Rifle was the German Stg-44 also known as the MP-44. If you compare the Stg-44 to the AK-47 they look almost Identical and it is my opinion that the AK-47′s design is a direct offshoot from the Stg-44. Though that has been denied for years and there are differences in both designs the similarities in appearance are to much to ignore.

    Just my thoughts……CHEERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Russian words that have found their way into English? Vodka….Sputnik….Tsar…..Samovar…..Gulag…..Borscht…..Oligarch…..

  31. Captain Jack says:

    In response to HFW latest poll. Weapon of choice. Well truthfully, I use words first. If I can talk my way out of a fight then I have used good karate. I don’t want to fill out the police report on why I killed the guy. It just wastes my time. Surprisingly I have had to talk my way out of two possible fights last month. One was some kid showing off to his friends and the other was a drunk guy that just wanted to kick someones ass. Neither of them knew that they where messing with the wrong guy. I sometimes wish I had a little sign that said, ‘I’m and expert in karate and I know how to kill people. Your lucky that I showed you this sign or you would be dead right now. So don’t fuck with me.’

    Here is our creed we verbalized before the start of karate class:
    “I come to you with only “KARATE” – empty hands. I have no weapons, but should I be forced to defend myself, my principles or my honor; should it be a matter of life or death, of right or wrong; then here are my weapons – “KARATE” – my empty hands.’”

    It’s amazing what the human hand is capable of doing. Im able to break as set of 4 boards in one strike. I can break patio bricks and working on learning how to break river rocks. I should make a videos of this someday. Whats really interesting is I can teach just about anyone how to brake a board in about 5 to 10 minutes. Kids are the easies. They don’t yet know that they can’t do it. Its a great tool to teach people self empowerment. I know of many women that not longer walk down the street in fear of being attacked and not knowing what to do. Funny thing, I now fear women that know karate. I usually loose on those fights and its not from holding back either. :mrgreen:

    • Captain Jack says:

      Oh I forgot one more thing. My Bare Hands are also good for another thing. On a women’s shoulders. My massages are beyond belief. I think I could get a woman to marry me just for that fact alone. I’ve gotten a few wonderful kisses from that already. Guys! You should try this on your wife or girl friend. Don’t rub the skin, but work the muscles under the skin. Need to be firm and yet gentle. Who knows what your night might end up like. :mrgreen:

  33. levocombi says:

    We are such nerds. Do we have nothing better to do than have “conversations” with people we will never meet face to face? Everyone, including me, thinks they’re so Goddamn smart, too. It’s ironic that the people who think they’re the smartest have the worst spelling.

    What I really hate are the perverted, child molester types who probably pleasure themselves while watching the videos. Those people don’t have any respect for Marina or appreciation for word origins.

    I have better things to do than argue with anonymous people over the internet. This is my final post. I quit this bitch.

    • okay4now says:

      Hummmm HotForNerds :idea: , even assho&*# have good ideas. Wonder who he’s going to go argue with now…sure wish I knew him personally. My loss. :sad:

    • davemarkwz says:

      Look up!
      NERD….??? …. inconsequential.

    • Captain Jack says:

      levocombi, Conversations with people you have never met face to face? Why is that such a difficult concept for you to grasp? People have been doing this for years. I used to talk to many people over Amateur Radio that I never met face to face. Even send Morse code to them. I yet to meet those people. One interesting thing is I have met people that I have chatted over the Internet with.

      We are not hear to see who is the smartest. Its not a pissing contest. Spelling is little indication of intelligence. I have taken many IQ test and no questions asked me if I could spell very well. Take a look at Albert Einstein. Albert did very poorly in Greek and Latin, perhaps not even finishing high school because of that. He even got an F, in “Physical Experiments for Beginners.” So even the worlds best have their flaws.

      I agree I can’t stand the weird people on the net that don’t respect Marina’s teachings. But so be it. They exist and we just have to deal with it.

      Sorry you feel this way about us here. Hope you can find something that makes you happy. :smile:

  34. rylankeeper says:

    that was a 5 lips video for sure

  35. muggins says:

    I like Hackworth, but I don’t agree that the AK-47 is the weapon of choice, not for developed nations. It is the weapon of choice for the emerging nations, esp. the ones without resources enough to pay for a better sidearm. Not to say i don’t respect the AK-47. It’s cheap and reliable. That fulfills 2 of the many criteria for a military sidearm. Other criteria for a military sidearm is weight of the weapon, weight of the ammo, accuracy, lethality (is that a word?) of the projectile, range, ease of maintenance and others. Just what the ranking is of these criteria are… would depend on the circumstances, which vary quite radically. I’ve shot both the M-16 and the AK-47, and I would chose the M-16, easily over the AK. I’m a civilian and I have no use for assault weaponry. But, if somebody decided to purchase an
    AK-47, like my shooting buddy did, be sure to fork out a little extra money for an AK made in Russia.

  36. Captain Jack says:

    UUUhhhggg :mad: I forgot to mention Marina. I love that black outfit your wearing. All those words on it. Its so you! :grin: I noticed you have a few outfits with words on them. How many outfits do you own that have words printed on them?

    • mergatroidal says:

      But diamonds are a girls best friend.   :wink:

    • BillyB says:

      I didn’t want to mention it either Jack as Marina may tire of hearing “you Hott” & such, but this black top, on her, with the great lighting says volumes about her. What can I say… ahh, no words good enough.

      • Captain Jack says:

        I even have tired hearing guys say she’s hot. I just had to comment on her outfit today because its uniqueness. An outfit with words on it is just fitting. With all the clothes she has, bet she lives in a two bedroom apartment, with one room dedicated to her clothes.

        As for words not good enough. Hummm I think there is. Im having a difficult time finding the best combination. Maybe photographs are one way. The old saying is a picture is worth 1,000 words. Or maybe poetry. Or maybe actions speak louder than words. humm food for thought.

  37. batszymon says:

    RPG 7, Colt M4A1, Sniper Rifle PSG-1, Desert Eagle, Pump Shotgun- thats mine favourites weapons of GTA 4

  38. Here is the bad points about the AK-47

    1. Its inaccurate and only good for close hand combat. You would be lucky to hit a barn door from 20 metres away.

    2. Its simple and cheap design (it only costs 50p / $1 to make) is built for someone with the intelligence of a 10 year old to be able to give it a field strip.

    3. Its primitive. Where the American Armalite M16 or British made Enfield SA80 will hit its human target and the round will pass cleanly through him, the AK-47 rips human flesh with it. I seen it in Africa, 1 guy getting blasted with an AK-47 and big lumps of meat flying off him. As those Irish do say, “to be sure, to be sure.”

  39. knowitall says:

    Can you tell us what is the origin of the word airborne? please :grin:

    so true sweetheart that M-16 “sucks” Ltcom Van Suchtelen US Navy Seals retired :mrgreen:

  41. jmcargal says:

    You keep saying that the AK-47 is one of the most used assault weapons in the world. It is far and away the most used assault rifle. vc-companybuilder comments that John Browning, undoubtedly the greatest gun designer ever, designed many great weapons. However, the one that has the greatest cachet is the Colt 45 which is often referred to as the 1911 after its first year manufacture (or design, I am not sure which). Similarly the AK-47 is often referred to as the Kalishnikov. I would pick the Colt 45 as the combat gun closest to the AK-47 in veneration. Like the AK-47 it has a simple design and is rugged.

  42. jstargazer says:

    mini-Uzi, carbine rifle, combat sniper, pump shotgun, ak 47, molotov cocktail…just my faves from gta 4. So, where does the word “genuine” come from? thanks for a great show -love fellow etymologist, jess

  43. Marina,
    I forgot to respond last week to your “in” versus “on” comments. Very insightful. You pointed out “in” implies a confined area while “on” had a more undefined and open sense.

    Your distinction reminded me of an old George Carlin stand-up routine about flying. When the flight attendant announced that passengers could get on the plane, George objected and said, “I’m not getting ON the plane. I’m getting IN the plane”. Whamm … George caught them red-handed in a marketing slight-of-hand trying to defocus passengers from the confined, claustrophobic nature of an airplane. God bless George! He shined a humorous light on a lot of human foibles, fears and contradictions.

    XOXOXO

  44. trehcurb says:

    I was wondering if you could find the origin of the phrase “how come?” because I often say it then realize it doesn’t make sense! :???:

    • So how did you come to this realization?

      • trehcurb says:

        I often say things over and over in my mind til they make absolutely no sense at all and where phrases come from like instead of saying “I am thanking you,” we say “thank you,” as if it is a foreigner trying to speak English. I totally sound like an idiot now but that’s how I put it, hah.

    • trehcurb,

      Excellent point. I also find that continual repetition of any word or phrase usually brings on this feeling of senselessness eventually. Imagine what it’s like to have to repeat the exact same phrase several thousand or so times a day, every workday, like a receptionist in a busy office or a cashier in a chain supermarket has to do. Many a time, I’ve heard such a person repeat the same phrase again during the same transaction because it comes so automatically that they will forget whether they said it in the first place.

      To really confuse yourself, try this technique with your given name. You can become formless, an abstraction lacking identity, over time.

      But that wasn’t the point of my initial comment.

      Okay, I’ll rephrase: “HOW did you COME to this realization?” I was attempting to offer a possible origin source for the phrase, but failed to make myself very clear. Expression using a keyboard instead of vocalization can also lose its meaning because we sacrifice vocal inflection and facial expression… My bad.

  45. Super overview on the AK-47. Thanks!

    The American gun-design genius was John Browning who invented many of the important and reliable handguns, rifles and shotguns of the late 19th and early 20th century. HIs portfolio included the Browning .50 caliber machine gun, Auto 5 shotgun, High Power pistol and many more from his 128 patents. Many of his guns and patents are still in use. Like the AK-47 reliable designs are always in fashion.

    XOXOXO

  49. icebreaker says:

    “44 Russian” – In the 19th century the Smith & Wesson Firearms company received a large military contract for revolvers from the Imperial Russian Army. These revolvers were 44 caliber. The revolvers also became very popular in the domestic market where they were call “44 Russians”

    See the link to Wikipedia for more information –

    the Dragunov and SKS are very good as well for sniping.

    Excellent! Thanks Marina! Much sexier in Russian language!
    (Kalashnikov makes an excellent sniper rifle also.)
    (And I hear the Kalashnikov brand Vodka is very good also.)

    can i comment yet? its all messed up somehow

  53. guns are boring – so is that story

  54. yrphilofrend says:

    :arrow: Marina,
    Spanish articles…such as “el” toro, “la” servilleta…how did these come to be?
    “La luz” is “the lights” in Spanish. Could this be because during the days when the Spanish language was first concieved, it was the woman WHO LIT THE CANDLES AT THE DINNER TABLE?
    “La plata”…money (well, I think I know why money might have been considered feminine…lol); it also seems obvious why the Spanish word for “milk” is “la leche”, with the feminine article :shock: :oops: . But why does the Spanish word for “sugar”, carry the MALE article (“el azucar?”) Is it because there were primarily men who worked in the sugar cane fields back in the day?
    Thanks, Marina :grin: …great web presence!

  55. markp says:

    Ms. Marina,
    love the AK history- similar in sentiment to the winchester’s concerns about the uses…
    now for some obscure words I’d like to see, perhaps you’d care to tackle some nautical terms? ‘cunningham’, ‘gunnel’ or ‘vang’? Or perhaps the more pedestrian, and yet unknown ‘starboard’?

  56. runawayscott says:

    Well lets see now; there’s the Ma Deuce or .50 cal machine gun, the M1 Garand, B.A.R., Tommy Gun (Thompson SMG), the SMLE bolt action rifle, the old school Brown Bess musket or the Briish Empire. the list goes on, but I would like to request the origin of one of the most famous weapons, ‘Dirty’ Harry’s MAGNUM.

  57. blutopaz74 says:

    Heres on thats been on miy mind for awhile…. KINGPIN….exactly where did this word come from or how did it get started…

  76. dvdpage says:

    I’ve heard of a new assault weapon made by Israel that is relyable and short in length. It does not heat up the way m-16s do when fired repetitiously. so no “cook off” of a round chambered. I can’t remember the name but I saw it on futurewapons or the military channel on cable tv. There are some great shows out there on this stuff. When I was a soldier my M-16 didn’t shoot that straight but I didn’t have time to tell just what the problem was. I’m sure some of them are sighted well. Mine was old and beat up by many before me.
    Another great performance Marina! +5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 AK.

    Miss M, a quick question on todays lesson. When you write Russian do you use the language you showed us today on the gun inventors name or do you use the cyrillic language to write with. Which would be easier to learn. :?:

  81. gonzo78m says:

    what is the origin of “get a leg up on the competition”?

  82. flyingm@n says:

    The M16 is the best gun ever :twisted:
    Or the P90, Gun from my country, made in Belgium :wink:

    • Capman911 says:

      So the P90 is made in Belgium. Very nice weapon. :cool:

    • My only experience with the M16 was in Air Force Basic Training and it jammed on me every other shot. It might be because it was FUBAR from being used by so many other trainees so I couldn’t tell you if it was the best when in better condition.

      The AK-47 does seem to be more common in most places around the world but that might be because it’s easier to get. Maybe the M16 is more expensive and more valuable.

        The first M16s did jam alot. Especially if you didn’t keep them clean. That was when they first introduced them in Viet Nam. But after awhile the newer models had the bugs worked out of then and they were more dependable. But as you stated the AK 47 is more easier to get and probably cheaper. The machining on the AK 47 is stamped out metal parts making it cheaper to produce.The average used AR 15 the civilian version is about $1000.00. So I would hate to see the price of an M16 or it’s newer udated models. :smile:

      • early models didn’t have a strong enough recoil spring, hence, when the bolt slides forward, while there is sufficient force to chamber the next round, it’s not enough momentum to lock the breach. The immediate action handle allows manual ability to move the bolt forward to the locked position. Stretch the spring and you get a faster firing rate, as well as a positive breach lock. :mrgreen:
        Picked up my AR for $650 in ’86. AK’s were going for $184!
        Bought a house in the country and had a hottie wife.
        At night, I would hear noises of the house settling. This was unsettling for me as it would sound like someone coming up the stairs!
        Shed the house, shed the wife – kept the AR! All good for me! :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

P.S. regarding that chess game: I am aware of four Sicilian opening book moves; Alspin, Najdorf, and Dragon variation, and Keres attack, as well as the Kings’ Indian Defense which you spoke of.

      • Bob -
        Marina is a flesh and blood
        woman – yummy lookin’, too.
        We are merely travelers into
        her domain via the cathode
        ray tube. She will always be
        perfect to us. As for myself?
        I tend to f*ck up almost as
        much as I excell in putting up
        comments, just being myself!
        I get opinions, I give opinions,
        I get attitude – I give attitude.
        just like the “real world”.
        Because of this, guys like you
        and I will never be able to be
        “perfect” in a reciprocal sense,
        to Marina. Knowing this gives
        me the attitude that, if I cannot
        be “perfect”, maybe I can be
        less of a tool by learning from
        Marina, how to cast that whole,
        enlightened teacher/guru glow
        thingee she does. Charisma?
        Nah!! never happen. That’s
        because she really is a dream.

      • DOH! I have GOT to get Whitesmoke!
        I was doing so well until OOPS!

      • lostforwords says:

        Hi Marina, You can see that Bob is right. Also, is AK-47 a word rather than a product name? Personally, I think you should stay with funny, sexy, or interesting words, rather than gruesome stories about “dead soldiers buried for a week.” It doesn’t become you so much.

        There’s a word: “become” in the sense of flatter. How did this usage come about?

      • HotForWords says:

        lostforwords, AK-47 is a product name or brand name.. and some of the brand-names we have discussed in the past have become words… such as heroin, aspirin, spam… so I think it’s fine to cover words like this.

        PLUS.. I am not going to not cover words just because they may be gruesome, in fact I plan on doing some more gruesome words very shortly :-) But I mix it up.. so usually there will be light words.. but I have to scare you once in a while!!! :twisted:

    • HotForWords says:

      ghijklmozxy, I made that word the homework question in my floccinaucinihilipilification video. The problem with that word is that it was merely invented to try to become the longest word in the English language. It has never been used to refer to the lung disease that it supposedly refers to.. it was just made up to represent a long word and really has never been used other than to represent a long word… so in that regard, many people don’t take it seriously.

      • Prospero says:

        But, maybe Taumatawhakatangihangakoauauotamateapokaiwhenuakitanatahu has been adopted into English (Maori name for a hill in New Zealand)?

  102. kaibanator says:

    The Ak47 is a great choice of weapon for faming purposes :cool: Back in the days of online gaming.. The following weapons were my personal favourites.

    The 1st one would be the “Springfied 03′ Sniper Rifle or KAR98 Sniper Rifle” from a game called ‘Medal of Honour : Allied Assault’.

    However, instead of sticking to a sniper’s style of gameplay and trying to wait then pick and choose targets. I played more of a ‘kamikaze’ style game with nothing to lose :lol: This made getting your targets look that much cooler and insane :lol:

    The 2nd one would be the ‘MP5′ from the game Call of Duty 4 : Modern Warfare. The people who knew me online hated me for going kamikaze with this weapon, as I would normally get my target :lol:

    Those were the days :smile:

  103. Well, theres the Thompson Machine gun, thats one of my favorites.
    and of course the winchester and the BAR, to name a few. Bigger, and badder, I prefer the TOW or the Dragon!~ The dragon being very dangerous…We could also fall back on the 106′s and how about mortars? ahh nomenclatures…anyone got any BA-ll00-NS?

  105. kyoin says:

    I like the M4 Carbine :shock:

  106. Looking forward to the Russian edit.
    The reason the soldier was dead and
    with his AK was never revealed?
    You would never find a soldier buried
    with an M-16, the most highly sought
    combat weapon on the planet, even
    today. “Black power” as it was called
    by Charlie in the Nam, is much easier
    to reload under fire than the AK.
    The good thing about AK’s is dirt
    doesn’t affect the simple sheet metal
    constructed weapon so much. Good
    thing, too, since they tend to get dropped
    in the process of running for your life!
    The M-14 which is also 7.62 mm, was
    replaced by the M-16, a 223 caliber
    weapon for many good reasons.
    The pistol grip allows for one-handed
    use, impossible with other rifles.
    The receiver has a flared magazine
    port allowing reloads to be faster.
    The 55 grain bullet tends to cause
    wounds that disable, not kill, thus
    one guy falls, two must care for him.
    if the man is killed, only one man is
    taken out of combat. Wounded – 3.
    I could go on for pages, but others
    will fill in the gaps I leave for them.

    My semi-auto AR-15 cand be easily
    converted to full auto, but al I need
    is the semi mode. I don’t like hand
    guns. Only for cops, maybe, except
    they can be pussy’s too. nothing
    There ain’t nuthin’ funny about a
    woman with a gun. <- think about it.
    Marina shouldn’t ever need to be
    armed, ever. Lose the AK, darlin’!
    I just have mine in case martial law
    goes in effect ( I live in Flori-duh )
    and doesn’t work. I will survuve…
    I keep it clean as a sewing machine!
    All my reloads are maximum velocity
    rounds so, woe be unto ye who tries
    to f*ck with me!

    I loved it when Marina discussed
    the nomenclature specifications.
    A LOT sexier than the first time
    I learned them. The military ought
    to pick up on it. They won’t, though.

    What happened to
    “once in the KGB, always in the KGB”?
    not very smart to advertise,
    if you are a KGB mole agent.

    I don’t play GTA, and prefer Flight Simulator.
    The Microsoft Flight Simulator allows you to fly armed military aircraft but not to fire the weapons, so I can’t even pretend to play with the weapon which takes my fancy, the AC-47 – no that’s not a misprint.
    The AC-47 Spooky was a C-47 Dakota airframe fitted with three 7.62 mm General Electric miniguns and carried 24,000 rounds of ammunition. It was used during the Vietnam was to provide suppressing fire in support of ground troops, and was nicknamed “Puff, the Magic Dragon” because of its devastating firepower.
    Here’s a video of such a minigun fitted to a helicopter.
    Of course, the ultimate weapon would be a cruise missile; sit back in comfort 1000km away from the action and just press a button.

      able to fly fully armed F-16 tomcat through

Went to a number of New York State and New Hampshire State trap competitions too … sometimes shooters would request to the boss that they wanted moi to pull their final contending match. I was good.

    Hi Marina,
    Hello class,

    I’ve not played GTA but, used to study weaponry a little. I, also
    tend to reject the gun. Today, it is a necessity to any army or police
    force – yet my tan tien gets in turmoil over the fact that life itself
    can be ended simply by the touch of a button or pull of a trigger.
    Rather than spout on about it, mechanically, they are works of art.
    An old pistol called the 1932 Waffenfrabrik Mauser was just about
    as innovative as could be.
    Swords are preffered (yeah, Katsumodo…blah…blah…blah) just
    because of holdhold neighboring incidents and me not wanting to
    act like the bigshot bullying b-s artist who put a hole into my
    neighbor’s door. Wakizashi being the favorite.

    • I appreciate your mindset, you would
      do well if placed in mortal danger.
      Killing is eay – not killing requires thinking. :mrgreen:

      • davemarkwz says:

        Did ok, wish I did better on 21-Jun-06. I bumbled into these two guys
        robbing someone in (get this) the bathroom. The general thing to do
        is to comply – especially since I had nothing. One guy had a Ruger .22
        which became fixed on my heart and another guy held a 12inch
        survival knife. Really the only details I could remember was that.
        So, you move along and wait for them to make a mistake. Their miistake was not to back out of the room but, to *turn* and run.
        The last guy at the door received my best kick with my bolted up foot.
        I and the other (fellow still zipping up) chased them but, they were just
        too fast. With a wakizashi – They would have both had at least one
        less arm.
        But that could have been beer-courage or other.

    • Take a look at this and
      study up a little. Don’t
      ever try this move on
      a law enforcement guy
      or you WILL get shot.
      They know the counter-
      moves. Anyone else is
      fair game. PEACE! :mrgreen:

Apparently, he was one of the best working on only a few guns at a time. Condition, documentation & name equated worth, i.e. Wild Bill’s Colt, or Patton’s pistols…

    Hello Marina,
    I wanted to the origin of the word ,,mania“.
    You know in the 80`s everyone was talking about the Hulkamania.

    Well… you can mow you’re lawn with an AK-47…kinda expensive tough, and it would ruen you’re garden.

    I Don’t play gt4, but if a Sako trg-22 .308 would be in there ,than that would be my favorite :smile:

    famous military weapons, m16, m1 garand, m3, Barrett M82

    It’s the AK-74 now I believe. Slightly different version, upgraded I think.

    There’s also the Aks-74, sub machine gun.

    In GTA IV my favorite weapon is the Annihilator Helicopter.

    In Call Of Duty IV — the M40a3 Sniper Rifle.

    And, in closing,
    You look hot holding that photoshopped gun, Marina :D

      well actually it’s just your head that looks like it doesn’t belong haha

        Yea I think agree now. You can play the video and when it gets to the part of her and her ak47 stop the video. Then take your mouse and right click it on her head and a small window will open and you can zoom in. The hair looks fake because Marina has bangs and parts her hair on the right side. This works if you are running IE7 and Flash Player.

      I don’t know shaun. Certain parts of California you can get about any type of gun you want. Just ask Jack. Someone took a couple shots at him while he was there. :shock:

      • Captain Jack says:

        Oh yea. Thats right. Once in Long beach and the other was near the Lakewood mall north of Long beach. But funny thing. When I rode my bike in East LA I never had anyone fire at me. That was just odd days. :grin:
