  1. Gen Z (Zoomers, rather than Boomers) are these days what most people are thinking of when they talk about Millennials. Born from late 90's through the 00's. It looks like its styled to fit video game aesthetics to appeal to a gaming generation, which makes a lot of sense.
  2. Got hit in the face once when my bolt handle snapped after a shot. Wouldn't have happened if I was using a leftie. Otherwise it's never been an issue.
  3. I'd like a .410 semi just for fun, and have found both the Armsan and the Remington 1100 to be rare but the Remington is a fair bit more expensive. Very nice, though! Mossberg have released the SA-410 in the states, but no sign that its coming over here yet.
  4. My GP in St Albans just took £35 from me this morning to complete the form. We are at their mercy, though.
  5. This is my point tho, I can't find anything from anyone saying he was in London and ended up in Manchester - not even from people who would be shouting this sort of stuff from the rooftops. I'm not saying I couldn't find this in the Guardian but the Mail is claiming it, I mean I can't find anything using the first 4 different keyword searches of even the obvious fringe media and organisations that would be talking about it. That doesn't mean that my Google-fu is perfect, but it does surprise me. Then it seems odd to be using it to make any kind of point.
  6. Ignoring the whataboutism here (but seriously, knock it off), do you have a source for him doing this? Three pages deep in to 4 different google searches threw up nothing other than he was admitted to Manchester hospital, unless I'm misreading things. Turning Point UK is not a source anyone should trust, but my searches don't even throw up fringe sites or forums that I'd expect to see in relation to something like this. And those are never usually hard to find.
  7. I had to pay for the GP to confirm my medical reason for not travelling to enable a payout from insurers. I had to do this up front or no dice. Doesn't feel that shooters are especially singled out. Asking for a completed GP report agreeing with your listed medical history is now part of the submission for Herts Police, including a note that we'll have to pay if the GP asks and it's not the responsibility of the police to pay. This appears to be the same in Essex and elsewhere, based on discussions I've had on renewals, meaning the forces are moving to push the cost and admin effort on to us. It's not a surprise that GPs charge for this service as requests for records or Subject Access Requests are baked in their operating model, while this sort of thing clearly isn't considered standard. While we're being held hostage on it, it feels like the person licensing should hold the responsibility here and that this is poorly hanled buck passing in relation to responsibility for checking suitability of license holders.
  8. AGL are 42p going down to 33p with a £195 membership. One of those things! Good to hear a ground opening - AGL are also now open with a raft of measures in place. If I weren't looking after kids I'd be out for a go!
  9. Yes, I believe he was acquitted on the grounds of self defence. The other story was one he has a short and long version for - basically he was out hunting jackrabbits with a friend and some blokes pulled up nearby and started shooting. When they figured out these guys weren't just being reckless they scarpered and never found the culprits.
  10. I have a lot of time for his videos - a breath of fresh air compared to the 30 something blokes with beards telling you that you need a bug out bag, don't need a bug out bag, that a .223 is all you need, that you need more than just a .223, that you should buy one reliable gun, that you should buy 5 guns in case each one fails, and how understanding firefight tactics will get round the fact that most people watching are likely to be untrained and unfit with a fetish for tactical vests. His recent take down of a chap who had a go at him was wonderfully executed. While he doesn't have videos of shooting prison toilets or slicing the pie I think he has a lot to offer in actual information rather than just opinions.
  11. Just what you'd expect a pawn of big chemtrails to say!
  12. Lots of talk about "only the old dying", but what is the impact on people who have serious symptoms and survive? It reminds me of anti-vax "evidence" that only uses a death rate as a binary indicator of proof, leaving out lasting damage done to survivors. I'm a fit and healthy 34 year old and you wouldn't know by looking at me that I have a condition that could mean catching it kills me or seriously reduces my long term health. There will be other people like that out there that we're "burning the economy" for and they can hear you talking...
  13. Oh god, more reason for people to change chokes between stands. And for about the price of a couple of second hand Hatsans. Love the idea. I'm sure I've seen something similar before tho - possibly on Forgotten Weapons on something unique or unusual?
