Strider stuck in my dome
this one requires some explanation, how did a knife get into your "dome" ??

The Mk18 Pic is my favotire so far.

There is a bigger question here. How the hell did you get access to a x ray machine and how the hell were you able to take pics of your rifles like that!

Alcohol, guns, poisonous radiation. This sounds like my days back at ASU before I became a teacher.

Another view of the SIG. The focus on some of these could be better...but I was having problems with MY focus as well:D

As you no doubt can see, the aluminum is much easier to see through than steel. That makes it kind of neat to see what's going on in the lower in profile.
More later...

Tequila. Lots and lots of tequila.
Actually, I just put it UNDER my head. I have some more to add later that I think you'll like.

One of the things I figured out early on is that if you can't be super-cool yourself, you should at least hang out with super-cools. Sometimes it rubs off a little bit. :D

M3 w/ flip ups on a LT 150 mount
ARMs 40 R BUIS
Tango Down VFG w/ Switch pad
SF Scout light?
Not certain of the rail, I know its not a DD or an LT but beyond that...
MIAD with winter trigger guard inplace
USGI mag, standard follower
PRI latch on the CH
How close am I?
Hope it was good Tequila, bad tequila always made my whole body feel like I had drank everything through a used gym sock.

All correct, but the BUIS. It's a Troy, and the rail is a KAC RAS II with SAS lower, as our esteemed colleague from the Cavalry said.
Roger on the used gym sock. I woke up this morning with an entire mariachi band tap-dancing on my forehead.

whewww !! thank GOD !!, i thought that might be the case, but just needed confirmation.
the X-Rays are fantastic, would it be possible to do the same with a 1911, or a Colt Python ??
Operating under the assumption that the drunk guy wasn't handling those loaded guns ... <ahem>
I think you would, in fact, get quite a bit of interest for these if you got the focus sharper. SIG had a faux x-ray image they used in advertisements and marketing materials for years, and it was one of the coolest images I've ever seen in the industry. I used it as my computer background image for years:

No, the drunk guy was handling the x-ray machine... wait, that's not much better, is it:confused:. I didn't even think about that, or I'd have left that part of the story out - but it adds something to it. There's just something hilarious about hatching an idea to x-ray some stuff, then actually getting in the truck and going and doing it at 2200 on a Saturday night:D. (ETA: we had a designated driver: my long-suffering wife, and two of our party are police, so we had adult supervision :-))
Hm. I'll see if I can find a way to print them well - and reshooting for better focus. The focus is a function of inexperience on my part.
We x-rayed some suppressors too, but in the interest of not being a dick, I won't post those. You can see more than you'd think, though, even with the steel-bodied cans.
Yes, I'd say you could do it with a 1911, but I don't know if you'd get the detail we're seeing here. I don't think the machine is powerful enough to penetrate that much steel. I'll try it, though. Actually, I have an alloy-frame 5" Springfield that would probably be ideal - I'll try it soon.

Post of the decade!
I think every gun should be X-rayed just to make sure there nothing dangerous in there, like a gun :-)
That 5.56 ammo will shoot through cinder block walls now!

I just figured out what you were talking about - that's a sweatshirt- I think it might be the end of the drawstring over my shoulder. The outline around my head and neck is the hood.

Great pics Quietshooter. My favorite is the old "knife in the head" pic.:cool: These remind me of an old girlfriend (MD) who was doing a ER rotation and the other Docs play jokes on her to evaluate an X-ray, which would be the letters C O K E on the side of a bottle, stuck in someones poop chute, or a barbie doll head, stuck in the same.:eek:
Since when are intoxicated cops adult supervision. :D
Not much chance this will be covered under Obama's new health plan is there?
How about a full lenght pic of that rifle the AP. That would look great in my work area.

LOL, when I left Iraq to go home from tour #2 the Navy Customs guys insisted we x-ray our M4s before we could carry them onto the plane. :rolleyes: So I asked my X-ray operator guy, "See anything suspicious go through there? Like, I don't know, a GUN?!"
Cool stuff in this thread.

Now THAT's interesting!
Yeah I thought it was pretty cool too. Only sad thing is that this is from several years ago so a lot of the baffles are different in the newer models. Still it is a sweet pic. Now if only there was someone with access to suppressors and an x-ray machine here that could take more recent pictures..... hmmm where ever could we find someone like that? QuietShootr do you know anyone? Perhaps that person could drunkenly post some of said pictures.... ;) or if they would send them to me I swear I would never post them.... just leak them a little bit :)

The knife shot takes me back to the x ray pix in the ER of various medical misadventures of the folks we flew here in the midwest... Pretty weird $#!%...
No kiddin. My mom has worked in Er's for the past 28 years and she has some crazy stories. She one time had to take care of a guy who was following a log truck when one of the logs broke free and impaled the guy. The responding rescuers had to cut him free with a chainsaw and bring him in with the log still going through his chest. He lived but not well.
-Goober
Ps. One more. This other guy got bit by a copperhead and decided that the hospital would need to identify the snake to administer the proper anti-venom so he captured it and brought it into the ER live in a jar. The funny thing is that on his way to the hospital it got out and bit him three more times lol. Why he didn't think the doc's couldn't identify a dead snake as well as they can a live one is beyond me but that is Georgia for you :rolleyes:.
