A sniper’s favorite

Accuracy International is a specialist British firearms manufacturer based in Portsmouth, Hampshire, England and best known for producing the Accuracy International Arctic Warfare series of precision sniper rifles. The company was established in 1978 by British Olympic shooting gold medallist Malcolm Cooper, MBE (1947–2001), Sarah Cooper, Martin Kay, and the designers of the weapons, Dave Walls and Dave Caig. All were highly skilled international or national target shooters. Accuracy International’s high-accuracy sniper rifles are in use with many military units and police departments around the world.

The Accuracy International rifle system has gained success, due in part to the design considerations put into the overall rifle. The rifles are hand-built. The AWSM (Arctic Warfare Super Magnum) is among the top three record holders for longest confirmed sniper kills .

 

The inherent accuracy of the rifle is due to the action being bolted with four screws and permanently bonded with epoxy material to an aluminium receiver, to which all major rifle components are in turn attached. As it keeps the action from moving away from zero, the accuracy of the rifle is very high.

The rifle stock design is designed for good ergonomics. The comfort in holding the rifle and the reduced recoil aids accuracy.

The barrel is interchangeable with other calibres; this can be done in the field in about 15 minutes. With the barrel clamped in a barrel vise, the barrel is removed from the action, and another one screwed into the action and tightened in place with a torque wrench.

This sniper rifle can be used for both H.A.L.O insertions and walking deployments of sniper teams .

I may only be a simple monster with a shotgun but i can tell you this , the AWSM is among the finest rifles on this planet and has earned the respect of countless snipers around the world .

Damn Christian’s

Opinion’s from the desk of

Gun-Zilla ! .

OK i knew the title itself would get some attention and most likely a lot of you are at this very moment trying to remember where the gasoline and matches are kept so that you can burn me at the stake as a Heretic ! . However , before you go to all the trouble of obtaining a burning permit and haveing to find a decent stake to tie me to, let me explain myself .

First of all i have to make one thing perfectly clear ; I have nothing against GOD or his son JESUS . The thing that i do have a problem with are all you phony S.O.Bs that call yourselves Christians and yet fall short of the definition itself .

All of you who go through the week sinning and showing absolutely no compassion or consideration for your fellow man only to show up at Church on Sunday to be forgiven for all the shitty things you did during the week !!!. What a bunch of assholes you are , and the real funny thing is you ask some bald fat guy in a fancy robe to do the forgiving , the same bald fat guy who sits at home during the week watching kiddie porn , buggering little choir-boys and setting kittens on fire ! .

Can you hear all the angry buzzing ? …. that is the sound of the hornets nest that i just kicked the #$%& out of .

Hey , the buzzing is a good thing it gets peoples attention, it opens the eyes, it wakes us up !! and believe me far too many of you are asleep at the wheel so take off the damn blindfolds. Having said all that there is something else that i want to make very clear to you; I have met real Christians ,people who practice what they preach, people who are actually following the doctrines of the Bible every day of the week not just on a Sunday ! . To all the real Christians , this article is not meant for you , because GOD knows who you are and has already set aside a place for you , although perhaps you should read on and help to weed out the phonys .

I have always been under the impression that a true Christian treats others the way that they would like to be treated . The differance between a real one and a phony one is this; A phony Christian will only lend a hand if someone is there to see it happen so that they look like a do-gooder . A real Christian will lend a hand because it is the right thing to do not because someone may or may not be watching .

So to all you phony self-righteous shit-heads out there, maybe you should try reading the Bible instead of hiding behind it !!!! .

Canadian Spy

opinions from the desk of Gun-Zilla !

 

If ever there was a good reason for an execution, then Sub-Lt Jeffrey Delisle has certainly provided us with a good example . This naval spy from Nova Scotia is the first person ever convicted under Canada’s post 9/11 anti-terrorism legislation . His activities have compromised the safety of Canadian Intelligence assets and the relationships with our closest allies .

While assigned to a top secret naval base in Halifax Delisle had access to several secret and top secret server’s and data-base’s, he would then put the data on a thumb-drive and pass the information along to his Russian handler ” Victor ” via e-mail .

He was arrested after the R.C.M.P. intercepted two top secret C.S.I.S. report’s that he tried to send to the Russian’s .

Jeffrey Delisle is a traitor to this country, an embarrasment to all Canadians and a disgrace to the Naval community .

I may only be a simple monster with a shot-gun , but even i know that the sooner this traitor is put to death the better for all of Canada ! .

Because from time to time we all forget .

Hi-Point carbine model 995

 

Hi-Point semi-automatic pistols are polymer-framed and generally regarded as simple, inexpensive handguns .

Based on a blowback design, Hi-Point pistols do not have a breech-locking system like most handguns. Instead they have large, heavy slides that hold the breech closed through sheer mass .

While making the pistols heavy, this design also makes them mechanically simple and easy to maintain .

Most self-loading pistols can be field-stripped without the use of any tools. However, Hi-Point pistols require a punch or a small screwdriver to remove a pin in the receiver, in order to permit slide removal (and thus enable field-stripping).

Hi-Point carbines use a polymer stock, stamped sheet metal receiver cover, and a receiver and bolt cast from zamak-3. The barrel is steel and button rifled using a 1-10″ right hand twist.

Some people are wary of Hi-Points because of the use of zinc alloy (zamak-3) castings in much of their construction. However, parts made from zamak-3 in Hi-Point guns (receiver and bolt/slide) are low-stress components that do not require the strength of steel. Higher stress components in Hi-Points, like the barrel and other small parts, are made of steel.

Hi-Point firearms have manual thumb safeties and an integral drop safety that prevents firing in the event that the firearm is dropped. Until recently, all Hi-Point products except the 995 (9mm) carbine had a last-round lock open and magazine disconnect safety, preventing firing unless a magazine was in the gun. With the replacement of the original 9mm carbine with the new 995 TS model, all pistols and carbines now have these features.

How many Guns ?

(opinions )

from the desk of

Gun-Zilla !

How many guns are enough ? , one ,ten, one hundred ? . Maybe more ?.

I have known collectors that would say never enough guns , after all once bitten by the bug its hard to stop wanting more . But really, how many guns are nessesary ?. What are you going to use a gun for ? , defence , hunting , competition or something else?. Whatever the reason you choose to have firearms remember this , the gun laws are going to get tougher and because of the media there is a very good chance that public opinion will become more and more negative towards firearms . All you have to do is look at a newspaper or watch the news to know that the media has lots of source material to draw negativity from …… …… Reality check !! , if you really want to know how many guns are enough, ask a soldier . Most likely the answer will be ,1 dependable sidearm ,1 good rifle and something for back-up ! . Because when the shit hits the fan anything else will be excess weight .

Gun-Zilla ! would like to remind you that its better to have it and not need it , than to need it and not have it .

American Military puts the .45 Auto back to work .

From the desk

of Gun-Zilla .

The good old .45 Automatic is the gun of choice , again for American military personel . Apparently the 9mm was not getting the job done to the satisfaction of the soldiers who have to depend on them for survival .

After a review gave careful consideration to the fact that since the big fat .45 slug came into existance , its stopping power has been legendary so it seemed like a no – brainer to go with something that was tried and true .

I may only be a simple monster with a shot-gun , but it seems to me that if you get it right the first time you should just stick with it .

 

Welcome to 2013 !

Well now what ?, we survived 2012 the world did not end and here we sit .

The big question is have we improved ? have we made any real changes that matter ? . A simple way to find out would be to look in any newspaper and start reading … i did that today and i can tell you with 100 % certainty that the answer is NO .

We still have a thirst for violence , we still take advantage of the poor and destitute , the rich still get richer and the poor still get poorer .

We continue to poison the planet with pollution , there is still war , pestilence and famine with no apparent end in sight .

All in all it seems to me that we have our work cut out for us , so instead of adding to the headlines lets see if we can change them !! .

Good luck to all of us … and God willing , when 2013 comes to an end we can look back and say we made a differance .

Dragunov Sniper Rifle

 

a semi-automatic sniper rifle/designated marksman rifle chambered in 7.62×54mmR and developed in the Soviet Union.
The Dragunov was designed as a squad support weapon, since according to Soviet and Soviet-derived military doctrines the long-range engagement ability was lost to ordinary troops when submachine guns and assault rifles (which are optimized for close-range and medium-range, rapid-fire combat) were adopted. For that reason it was originally named Dragunov’s Semi-automatic Rifle.

It was selected as the winner of a contest that included three competing designs – by Sergei Simonov, by Aleksandr Konstantinov and by Yevgeny Dragunov. Extensive field testing of the rifles conducted in a wide range of environmental conditions resulted in Dragunov’s proposal being accepted into service in 1963. An initial pre-production batch consisting of 200 rifles was assembled for evaluation purposes, and from 1964 serial production was carried out by Izhmash.

Since then, the Dragunov has become the standard squad support weapon of several countries, including those of the former Warsaw Pact. Licensed production of the rifle was established in China (Type 79 and Type 85) and Iran (as a direct copy of the Chinese Type 79).

The Dragunov is an original rifle design for several reasons. First, it was not meant for highly trained and specialized sniper teams, but rather for designated marksmen, spread in every basic infantry unit. In every platoon of Warsaw Pact troops, there was at least one Dragunov rifle marksman. In the German Democratic Republic arsenals alone, there were almost 2,000 Dragunov rifles, while in many Western armies there was not even a single sniper rifle except in special forces units (as example, in the Italian Army until the 1990s), but in Warsaw Pact troop formations, the Dragunov marksmen were widespread among the regular units. To fulfill this role the rifle is relatively light for a sniper rifle but well balanced, making it easier to use in a dynamic battle. It also is a semi-automatic rifle, a rare feature for accuracy oriented rifles in the 1960s (except for customized ordnance, like M1 Garands), to allow rapid fire and quicker engagement of multiple targets. In order to fire effective API ammunition, its accuracy potential was slightly downgraded by shortening the twist rate, another uncommon priority for a pure sniper rifle. Its precision is good but not exceptional, also because it has a relatively light barrel profile. Like an assault rifle, the rifle has mounts on the barrel to fix a bayonet. The standard AKM bayonet can even be used to cut barbed wire. Lastly, the rifle was meant to be a relatively cheap mass produced firearm.

These features and unusual characteristics were driven by the tactical use doctrine of Dragunov armed marksman which was; from (just behind) the first line targeting high value targets of opportunity and providing special long-distance disrupting and suppressive fire on the battlefield, even with sudden close encounters with enemy troops in mind. A relatively small number of marksmen could assist conventional troops by combating or harassing valuable targets and assets such as: enemy key personnel like officers, non-commissioned officers and radio operators, exposed tank commanders, designated marksmen and snipers, machinegun teams, anti-tank warfare teams, etc.
