I’d take Biden for a spin in one of those F-15’s. I’d make him jump out of it at 25,000 feet with a malfunctioning parachute. That’s my dream weapon.

Time to break out the 50 caliber for some practice, that is if I can find a range where they’ll let me fire it. I tend to be a little recoil shy with that baby, though.

And those on either side of you are not thrilled with the blow back from the muzzle brake either.
What is it? Five dollars a round these days?

The U.S. had jets & nukes in both Vietnam and Afghanistan. How did that work into a victory?

I want an AR-15 with an F-15 attachment…
Call it an ARF-30

Those 29s are kinda cute, though.

JDHasty, I’ll be in Ellensburg tomorrow afternoon delivering flowers to Ellensburg Floral and will look for that sign when I’m passing by. Of course it’s going to be hotter than hell tomorrow and all this week. We are not used to Arizona hot weather up here in the PNW, it’s supposed to be above 100 degrees all week and 112 on Tuesday in Eastern Wash. which is way too damn hot. Thank God for air conditioned trucks. I want a normal 75 to 80 degree day and lots of rain, we need it badly.

Gotcha! (-: Hit that link. I wasn’t referring to .50 caliber, but rather 50 caliber.
@JDHasty — Yeah, I figure if I wipe out my retirement savings I might be able to afford two or three rounds!
I’ll go with an F-16 instead. I think the maintenance is cheaper. With only one engine the gas would be cheaper.

I much prefer the 16 inch/50 caliber MK 7…
Me, too. One of those interesting but otherwise useless stats that has stuck with me is that one of those guns can throw a shell the weight of a Honda Civic (about 2,700 lbs.) from Annapolis, MD, to Washington, DC (about 24 miles), with about a minute and a half flight time.

“Time to break out the 50 caliber”. Come out here to Eastern Connecticut (the good part of our Effed up State) Uncle Al. My gun club, Rockville Fish & Game, will let you shoot it on our rifle range as long as you do it in Semi mode. I’d love to have you visit.
Mean while I’m headin down to the Sub Base in Groton to see if they have old Cruise Missiles layin around.

It was warm here in Tacoma today. I worked in the yard from about 05:30 – 1 and then went down in the basement and worked in there and made a couple runs to Home Depot and Costco before going back out to work in the gardens.
I am probably a little more used to summer heat because the kids and I spend a lot of time in central WA in August and September. A lot of people were having a tough time today.
By the way we use HyperKewl vests a lot while in Central WA and Walla Walla. My younger daughter was so affected by the heat that she had to be air conditioned or dunked after fifteen minutes. After buying hers I bought one for myself and the other kids. We hike in them in 105 degree weather and wear them all day long. None of us mind the dampness, but some people do.
I wish mine wasn’t in the RV in Ellensburg, if I had it here I would have got a lot more accomplished today.
They are not expensive. My youngest grew out of her heat intolerance, but still loves her vest. We soak them in the water in the ice chest especially before heading into a rodeo, but tap water is just fine. The ice water soaking is refreshing after a day of activity in the sun.
If my youngest daughter didn’t have it she would have gotten heat stroke for sure if we let her go out in hot weather, once she got it she was just as good in the heat as the rest of the kids.
At the next IOTWer get together I say we pool our money and buy a couple. 😀
I’ll hold out for an F-35.
In the meanwhile, a F-150 will have to do.

Great! But no ammo?

Plenty of used Fighter Jets for sale here.

Hell, they even have B29s (the original nuke bomber) for sale.
