Wow that's nuts! I knew a guy in 3/5 that had an rpg ricochet off his head while in the turret, had the smashed in kevlar helmet to prove it

Indeed...I too would like to hear how your guns were lost on a boat.

Unless of course you only had ONE gun, and you were on a boat, and lost it that way.

While I've seen many odd things like guys getting saved by thier magazine pouch or bullet strikes to thier camelbacks, a RPG to the head will be lethal. They don't fly all slow where you see them coming, they hit before you see them and the piezoelectric firing initiator is so sensitive they have a very high detonation rate. I have responded to a UXO call where hadji decided to not arm the warhead and lawn darted the RPG into the side of a MTVR (a big truck). This would easily still kill a soft target. I don't doubt that a kevlar would get smashed, as Marines can and usually do break anything they get. Now if he is like many others he got turtle-fuked by the turret hatch and it cracked /smashed the sh!t out of his brain-bucket.

well his name is ryan harnish, if you doubt the validity of my comment feel free to look him up on facebook and ask him yourself. Thanks for the mechanical breakdown on how a rpg works, may next we should discuss ballistics.  The only reason I mentioned the story was b/c it's even more ridiculous than the video shown. I wouldn't believe it myself except others at the party confirmed it really happened. If the dude in this video hadn't had the incident on video would you have believed it?  The rocket didn't detonate on his head, it ricocheted off and knocked his arse out.

just stumbled on this when i googled his name, should have posted this to begin with sorry. http://www.komonews.com/news/archive/4091271.html

I think an apology would be in order right about now

Ok cool, my gf wants a .22 pistol for plinking, but the markIII pistols are somewhat of a PITA as far as takedown/reassembly for cleaning in comparison to pistols with normal slides.

meh, field strip one twice and I bet good money your tune will change.

as for the boating accident, haha, haven't heard that one since i was poking around THR for gun deals.

[kyled25]

i've field stripped my 22/45 many times, and I know exactly how to field strip it and don't have problems with it, but it is more complicated than regular pistols with slides. Since this gun would be for my gf who isn't mechanical inclined the simpler the better

Check out the S&W 22A-1. It's super easy to take apart.

never seen that one before, thanks. Ever shoot it?

22A Standard Model:


22A Talo Edition:


I've owned both and still own the second Talo edition. They're amazing little guns and fun to shoot. I opted for it over the U22 Neos by Beretta.

[kyled25]

cool I'll have to check it out. A guy at the range had a sig mosquito he let me shoot while he shot my ruger 22/45. Cool little 22. How's the trigger on that 22a? only smith I've shot has been an m&p 40 and was not impressed with the trigger. that talo edition looks sweet!

The standard edition I had had a lot of trigger creep. It also seemed to have a different breaking point each time. It was really odd. Maybe mine was just defective.

Talo is much better all the way around.
