Celebrate it with your beloved GAU-8. And shame of you if I know what this is and you don't.

 

 

It is the freedom weapon "BRRRRRT" with f*ckloads of "BRRRRRRRRRRRRT"

 

The good A-10 Thunderbolt is equiped with this as the main gun. 

Funny sidenote: If the wepaons is fired for too long, the recoil will cause the A-10 Thunderbolt to be too slow and get in a stall.

 

 

The GAU-8:

Ice cream and fireworks. Sadly urban residential areas and closed ranges mean no firearms for me. :c

By the way, why are USA people always so addicted to firearms? Is there any tradition behind that culture? I'm curious, please tell me.

We're not.

 

This is a stereotype that the world likes to place on us, much like an ill-informed stereotype that most German's don't like Jews.

 

(Ok, that's harsh, but it's all nonsense anyway.)

 

Plenty of people all over the world enjoy the feel of a weapon. This is human nature. The US just has a constitutional amendment that gives us the right to own them.

several cultures consider it a symbol of a male's coming-of-age and manhood to be presented with an AK-47.

i keep a variety of firearms for recreational/range firing, and general self-defense and home protection. when you live in a country where the criminal element generally follows the concept of ensuring no witnesses to a crime, this becomes more imperative.

when a gun control proponent (also known as a victim) gets attacked/beaten/robbed/murdered, there's more stuffing the headlines wailing about needing more gun control. horror always makes for good media headlines, especially if a large number of people get murdered. (How have all those Gun Free Zone signs at schools been workin' for ya?)

when a firearms owner gets attacked, he utilizes "gun control" on the perpetrator then reholsters his weapon and calls the law. in some instances dozens of people have been saved from being slaughtered.

It won't make the headlines, either--bad news always sells better, the media generally are pro-gun control and it doesn't promote their agenda.

So all anyone anywhere hears about is the gun crimes, and seldom or never about heroes with guns saving lives.
