The coolness of cartridges...

josquin said:
Just a minute... a post in a thread about "cool", by a gunnut with the name "freezer filler", including a pic that contains a Bic™ lighter (contrarily, obviously not "cool", in the literal sense.) There has to be some deep symbolism here. As the rifle has been judged "not cool", it must be somehow connected to the lighter... Oh, never mind...

the lighter is there as a way to show the size of the deer track it is lying next to, not to say it is a large track, just that guys in my hunting group swore that there weren't any deer in the area... lol:D

I may have some overqualified calibers, but my freezers are full and I only ever need one shot.....I see Steyr elected to provide you with two clips?....What sort of rifleman needs a rifle with two clips? Perhaps a Karaoke microphone and a set of spurs would add nicely to the wannabe theme?

Your rifle with its completely over sized stock and that tiny protrusion of a barrel must appeal to the Liberache in you. I think you should paint it like a rainbow, cover it in rhinestones, and take it to your annual parade.

Mann licher......Think about it ;)

Definitely not cool.....Not even close.

did they die from the muzzleblast or from cardiac arrest after hearing the muzzleblast? i guess it saves u the trouble of skinning and gutting eh?:rolleyes:

To be "Cool", wouldn't it be a cartridge that draws a crowd at the range, and people talk about in your absence?

Cartridges that do that are:

- uncommon; and/or
- obsolete and not commercially available; and/or
- a Wildcat; and/or
- overbore (the more the better); and/or
- a tiny case for the bore size, i.e. quiet and sub-sonic; and/or
- large bore; and/or
- huge recoilers; and/or
- filled with blackpowder.

I'm pretty sure that would rule out the 223 and the 30/06.

- a Wildcat; and/or 25-284 because i used to have one
- overbore (the more the better); and/or never really had one but lets say 220 swift
- a tiny case for the bore size, i.e. quiet and sub-sonic; and/or 308 whisper
- large bore; and/or 375 H&H
- huge recoilers; and/or 505 gibbs

Nothing that appears on flashpoint or in the typical Mall Ninja arsenal is even remotely cool. That includes the Tavor, all short barrel pump black shotguns and pretty much anything made by Steyr.

There is nothing wrong with owning the

Winchester

MAg.





The truly uncool thing is the comment about not needing to reload BEACUSE its the


300





Winchester





Short






Mag.





Very unkewl and kind of stupid.
 
OK, I'll play . . .

Any cartridge that ends in the words "Nitro Express" is cool!

The .30/06 is cool because you can do so much with it!

Any cartrige that is used on the hunt of a life time is cool!

The top of my not cool list is the .223, but a .222 is cool.

Agreed on the Nitro Express comment and of course the triple deuce is very cool.

I am with Gatehouse however on the 30-06, doesn't mean it isn't good, but it really is not cool. Now a .308-7mm remington express would be a cool wildcat.

Apparently there are lots who wouldn't want one of those. The EE is full of that tactigoofy junk that is barely used and now for sale because the owner got tired of fondling it before the mirror and at the same time found out that it just wasn't that usefull afterall.

For which the only effective antidote is a 6.8 SPC TactiCool Mk IV??

I think we should we start a separate "giant penguin defence" thread, then sticky it for when the inevitable invasion occurs.

But I digress...
