Fire Department Raffle Tickets

[Corny]

I have Gun Bash Tickets for October 3rd at the Ross Community Center behind the Old Kuhns Market on McKnight Road. They are $20.00. All the beer you can drink and all the food you can eat! Doors open at 4pm and ends at 10pm. There are raffles during the event for prizes and money too.

Now since alot of you are not gun fanatics, if you win you don't have to take the gun. You can take the money (whatever the worth of the gun is). And if your really anti-gun and you win. Take it and melt it down or run it over. I don't care. But if you win a shot gun I think Ike Jones might want it.

[Shoval Manuts]

And if I recall, if you win a chainsaw, Ike wants that too.

[Bull]

Is it indoors or out doors?

[Corny]

Is it indoors or out doors?

[Corny]

[Corny]

[Gregor]

I'll buy a ticket, maybe two, to Cash Bash, just not Gun Bash.

[Shoval Manuts]

I only support prizes that could be used in the defense against zombies...  good luck paper cutting the undead with your crisp $20 bills.

$3000 can buy many guns!

[Bull]

Or about two good ones.

[Shoval Manuts]

But that would require me to go shop.  I just want to win a gun, or a pitchfork, or a pipe bomb.

Is a pitchfork really effective against zombies?

Wouldn't frankenstein's monster be considered a zombie? Not sure why I just thought of that...

[Shoval Manuts]

Okay, well then I'll revert to the chainsaw.

[Corny]

I only support prizes that could be used in the defense against zombies...  good luck paper cutting the undead with your crisp $20 bills.

I'll sell you a rifle that will take a zombie out from 500 yards.

[Corny]

Okay, well then I'll revert to the chainsaw.

Just be careful not to get their blood in your mouth or you'll get infected. Once that happens I'll have to pop your off. Sorry name of the game.

[Bull]

More like 1,100 yds

[Corny]

Thats right you did say that. Kill a zombie from a safer distance.

[Corny]

But that would require me to go shop.  I just want to win a gun, or a pitchfork, or a pipe bomb.

Frankenstein's monster is more of a golem.

The .30-06 is a very powerful cartridge designed when 1,000 metres (1,100 yd) shots were expected. In 1906, the original M1906 .30-06 cartridge consisted of a 9.7 grams (150 gr), flat-base cupronickel-jacketed-bullet. After WWI, the U.S. military needed better long-range performance machine guns. Based on weapons performance reports from Europe, a streamlined, 11.2 grams (19 gr) boattail, gilding-metal bullet was used. The .30-06 cartridge, with the 11.2-gram (173-grain) bullet was called Cartridge, .30, M1 Ball. The .30-06 cartridge was far more powerful than the smaller Japanese 6.5 x 50mm Arisaka cartridge and was still much more powerful than the Japanese 7.7 x 58 Arisaka as well. The new M1 ammunition proved to be significantly more accurate than the M1906 round.[4]

In 1938, the unstained, 9.8 grams (151 gr), flat-base bullet combined with the .30-06 case became the M2 ball cartridge. According to U.S. Army Technical Manual 43-0001-27, M2 Ball specifications required 835 metres per second (2,740 ft/s) velocity, measured 24 metres (79 ft) from the muzzle. M2 Ball was the standard-issue ammunition for military rifles and machine guns until it was replaced by the 7.62 x 51 mm NATO round for the M14 and M60. For rifle use, M2 Ball ammunition proved to be less accurate than the earlier M1 cartridge; even with match rifles, a target group of 5 inches (130 mm) diameter at 200 yards (180 m) using the 150-grain (9.7 g) M2 bullet was considered optimal, and many rifles performed less well.[4] The U.S. Marine Corps retained stocks of M1 ammunition for use by snipers and trained marksmen throughout the Solomon Islands campaign in the early years of the war.[5] In an effort to increase accuracy, some snipers resorted to use of the heavier .30-06 M2 armor-piercing round, a practice that would re-emerge during the Korean War.[6] Others sought out lots of M2 ammunition produced by Denver Ordnance, which had proved to be more accurate than those produced by other wartime ammunition plants when used for sniping at long range.[7]

Commercially manufactured rifles chambered in .30-06 are popular for hunting. Current .30-06 factory ammunition varies in bullet weight from 7.1 g to 14.3 g (110 to 220 grains) in solid bullets, and as low as 3.6 g (55 grains) with the use of a sub-caliber bullet in a sabot. Loads are available with reduced velocity and pressure as well as increased velocity and pressure for stronger firearms. The .30-06 remains one of the most popular sporting cartridges in the world. Many hunting loads have over 2800 ft-lbs of energy at the muzzle and use expanding bullets that can deliver rapid energy transfer and hydrostatic shock to living targets.

The newer 7.62x51mm NATO/.308 Winchester cartridge offers similar performance to standard .30-06 loadings in a smaller cartridge. However, the greater cartridge capacity of the .30-06 allows much more powerful loadings if the shooter desires.

    "The boars are about as smart as the average cement extruder, and aren't good for much besides getting into fights and making little Gamorreans."
    ―Callista Ming[src]

Gamorreans were porcine humanoids from the lush jungle Outer Rim planet of Gamorr where their technological level was equivalent to lower technology periods that Human civilizations experienced more than 25,000 years before the battle of Yavin. They also colonized the planet Pzob in the K749 system and were the majority sentient species on Lanthrym in the Elrood sector. Their vessels provided only essential amenities as well as shields and weapons. Gamorreans were typically green-skinned with a large powerful physique, and were known to be fierce warriors prized for their great strength and brutality in combat. They were organized into clans headed by a Council of Matrons. In Gamorrean society female sows perform all the productive work while the male boars concentrated on training for and fighting wars. They spoke Gamorrese (also called Gamorrean). One of their favorite weapons was a traditional war axe called an arg'garok that was forged specifically for beings of extraordinary strength and a low center of gravity.

Did it take you longer to read that or to make your post?

[homesystem]

If I would have read that I'd have probably had to use the .30-06 to shoot myself.

[Bull]

basically it was designed to shot 1,000 yards.

Those things are monsters, I remember shooting an M1 Garand up at some private lake out by Blairsville a few years ago, boy did my shoulder hurt afterwards

[Bull]

Yeah .30-06 will kick alright, I told Bob he might want to get a pad to put on the butt (here coems the jokes) of the stock to save his shoulder. Or going with a lighter grain shell.
