Thinking About a PTR-91

[HKGuns]

It only gets real when it is FOADB--ch!

[Leaveammoforme]

At least you live up to your rad screen name. We can still be civil about this.......

What does FOAD mean? I've been the recipient of far worse insults than the rest, just don't get that one.

Without emoticons it's hard to tell his context.

But, we can break it down as such;

First convert to binary;

F= 01100110
O=01101111
A=01100001
D=01100100

Then binary to Morse code;
-----|·----|·----|-----|-----|·----|·----|-----|-----|·----|·----|-----|·----|·----|·----|·----|-----|·----|·----|-----|-----|-----|-----|·----|-----|·----|·----|-----|-----|·----|-----|-----

Using the Three Pixel Gravitational Modulation Deduction formula we end up with;

··|·-··|··|-·-|·|·--·|·-|-·|-·-·|·-|-·-|·|···

In other words...I like pancakes.

It's always been interesting to me how the HK community is jam-packed-full of bad people.

I mean... the NFA community has a few bad apples, mostly concentrated in machine guns and then a healthy amount in silencers.

Other than that, there's some goofballs to be found in certain niche areas (the 1911 community has quite a few) but for the most part they're good people.

Something about HK seems to attract ripoff artists and dirtbags like no other.

Didn't mean it that way, I wasn't trying to offer a parallel with Ghillibear and Bailey. I was commenting more on the rabid defense and attacks associated with the HK clone market. Fanboys coming out of the woodwork to declare Special Weapons / Coharie / Bobcat, etc. to be "as good" or "better" than factory HK stuff and being serious about it.

It really isn't the HK guys who are the problem. Those with factory guns and contracts know what they have and there is little room for debate. But let somebody make a clone and those who buy one get heavily invested in defending the honor of their firearms.

I can still remember people claiming their guns built with POF parts were superior to German guns because they were "hand crafted by dedicated smiths." Then there were the guys who thought they actually had true HKs because they built a MP5 parts kit on a flat that Todd Bailey "claimed" was factory HK even though it was completely devoid of any markings whatsoever.

Reminds me of guys who used to put Mercedes hood ornaments on vehicles that were of Japanese origin.

Berserker556 will not be back to bother us any more.

Sorry for the abrupt bump in the S/N ratio. Carry on.

I was simply observing that the number of d-bags in the HK world is exponentially more than you will find anywhere else.

I did not say that every HK guy is a d-bag... but they sure are heavily concentrated.

From my personal experience, as a 15+ year internet operator, I think 90% of the noise is from the clone crowd.

Imagine for a moment that Colts were rare and expensive and 75% of AR owners were DPMS owners. Imagine if we had to create a AR Clone section of the forum.

Even in this thread, it was the "clone guy" who had the melt down and did the "F all of you..." because a few people informed him he really didn't have a HK firearm or the equivalent. For some reason people take that really personally.

By contrast, FF learned that a "poor man" MSG90 happens only in form rather than function, and no problems.

The only real HK's we have stateside are FMP, Greek SAR's, HK, POF, and MKE. As those are the only ones made on HK tooling under HK license using original methods.
