I spent this weekend in the nice town of Bergen on the norwegian west coast. Here i stayed at a firends aunt and uncle's place, they showd us around and took us on boat trips and everything then to top it off, two days in bergen playing tourist, then the kraftwerk concert on moday. Sorry.. no pics from the concert, but you can read about it here: http://www.ba.no/puls/article2228152.ece













So.. how was your weekend?

I stayed with the family at our cabin in the forest two weekends ago. My father might have taken some pics on his cell phone.

Last weekend, we went shooting. It was fun. I brought my CZ52 pistol, my Mosin Nagant M91/30, and my Ruger 10/22. My brother brought his Ruger 10/22 and his Mosin Nagant M44, my brother's friend brought his Bryco pistol and maybe something I forgot, and my neighbor brought his Ruger 10/22 (it's a popular gun in America) and his Thompson/Center single shot rifle.

My CZ52 ran perfectly. It's really a wonderful pistol. The main problem, though, is finding ammo for it in the first place.

We had problems with the 50 round magazine for the 10/22 my brother bought, though. It's absurdly difficult to load, to the point where your thumbs will bleed before you get 20 rounds into it. Also, the front locking point on the magazine actually broke off in my 10/22, and I had to use my neighbor's Leatherman to pry it out.

My M91/30 also has a chamber burr. I tried to polish it out, but I didn't do a good enough job. Fired cases really tend to stick in the chamber, to the point where I have to use violent force to get them to extract.

Also, a .22-250 hollow point will literally explode a 5 gallon water container (that's about 19 liters). It's quite a sight.

My brother's friend's Bryco pistol had some severe problems, as well. It's a rather cheaply made pistol. Most of the pistol is actually made out of zinc alloy. It double feeds, fails to extract, stovepipes, fails to fire (I think the striker follows the slide sometimes), and the slide will actually come partways off sometimes. The trigger pull is absolutely horrid, but the sights are good and the pistol is actually accurate when it fires.

And then when we were done shooting, we did some 4-wheeling. That was awesome.

thanks for the pics! they are really nice you lucky mustard.... i like Kraftwerk. My weekend was "relative"ly boring. Weather is/was crappy, i feel kinda sick, ...stuff. Bought some games for my PS2 and a book by Gerald Hüther: "Manual for a human brain" ...its german. dunno if theres a translation. There are other "brain manuals" and maybe he stole their ideas... whatever... anyway... nevermind.

kozak6, guns are cool and stuff but its not that usual here in europe. sometimes it makes me shudder reading stuff like that... you know... frag-crazy, trigger-happy gamers running around with guns . . . .

If it makes you feel better, I'm very responsible and minimally homicidal. I also pass the instant background check required to purchase them.

Besides, laserjumping doesn't really translate into the real world very well. And Nexuiz doesn't even have iron sights.

Feel free to blow your own toes off in experiment (or, if you find a real laser, cook them)

Yay! Grenade jumps are fun too!

Same as the last 16 weekends, only the conditions were worse...

That's extremely cool.

We have 2 jet-ski's cluttering up the driveway, but they've been sitting there so long, they need some work. The fuel lines need to be replaced, the carbs rebuilt, fuel filters replaced, and some other things too.

It's really a shame because the hot weather makes the local lakes quite tolerable.
