I'll see how they work out but than my previous one's i.e. nothing.

What does it mean for you?

it means a reduced length barrelled pea shooter in .17 hornady magnum rimfire calibre(4.5mm) firing a 17 grain (approx 1.1 gram) projectile, with hawke high definition variable magnifacation scope, zooming from power of 3x to 9x, with an optical lense size of 50mm, the sak mod is a sound moderating device (some what like a car exhaust) filled with baffles to moderate the noise/report from the  pea shooter. but being a super sonic projectile (reaching 2550 ft/s or 1738.63 mph) the .17 bullet breaks the sound barrier, causing a sonic boom as the bullet reaches mach 1 (768 mph), the mod or "silencer" cannot stop this noise. just the noise from the spent propelant powder exiting the barrell. .
it means i can eat rabbits.

Oh, a gun

Jeepers man I hope you where able to copy and paste that!  Sounds like some yoke.  Not having a clue about guns I found that interesting, especially the speed bit.  I have only ever shot at some clay pigeons, I don't reckon my gun was anywhere near that speed.

[chunk]

its all from the top of my head, and the speed is written on the back of the bullet box haha.

i could have just said it was a small rifle suitable for shooting small prey, with a scope on top and silencer on the end, but i wanted to feel special.
by the way, who said i was any good at using it

[Evie]

Sounds like Santa was good to you all. 
I got a Garmin forerunner 110 (so I can see just how far and suitably exhausted I am after each run) and a headlamp (much more expensive than the one I wanted, but it's a good un).  Also treated myself to a pair of trail runners for a bit of grip and slightly less soggy toes when running off road.

[LandyLiam]

what sort of torch did you get? i have a thing for torches (and tents, and sleeping bags, and boots, and rucksacks, and coats, and hats, but not gaiters, i hate gaiters  )

I only ever shot 5.56mm, 9mm, .38 and .22 and I aint got a clue what your saying. Take it as a licensed firearm?

Done a few comps. Was quite good until a got proper teaching and got better lol

[chunk]

.17hmr is a magnum rimfire round, which basically means its in a casing slightly bigger than what you'd expect, its in a necked down 22 magnum case.

i've only ever shot .308/7.62, .222, .223/5.56, 22-250, .243, 6.5x55, .270, 30-06, 9mm, .45, 38 special, 22lr, 22mag, 17hmr, and the daddy .50.
got to admit that i had to pay to play with 3 or 4 of them in las vegas, but sure its worth it

[RedLeader]

I'd an awesome haul! The watch was a particularly exciting suprise.







Plus a firesteel, maya dust, collapsible pint glass and some odd firelighting sticks. The Rab jacket is a birthday pressie though...
