  1. While not a shark with a frikkin’
    laser, as low bidder, Tommy gun with frikkin’ German Shepard won the military contract.

    • I hoped someone would point it out. I’ve never had the pleasure of shooting a Thompson, but that don’t look right.

    • Recoil on a tommy gun isn’t too bad. It’s roughly 11 pounds with a low pressure pistol round. I could hold one when I was 10 and put most of the rounds where they belong.

      Muzzle climb is another matter. with both his hands behind the drum like that he’s likely to be shooting near straight up after the first couple of rounds out. I don’t know how much effect that compensator will have on the equation. My experience was with the old m1 version. Plain muzzle with stick mags.

  2. Would you quit making so much noise, they are going to find us and while they will take you prisoner, I’ll be dinner.

  3. “Well that’s why you ain’t hittin anything – You’re out at two thousand yards with a Thompson, and your spotter is color-blind.”

  4. Actually, this guy is probably coast gaurd. They did beach patrol with dogs and mostly sidearms thru out the war on all the American coasts.

  5. Love the dog. But, it should have been trained to get down. (Probably was, most likely a publicity shot). I worry more about my dog getting hurt than me. Well, ok, the gf too.

  6. Well I was going to do a Rin Tin Tin joke but y’all beat me to it. “Go fetch that dead Nazi Rin Tin Tin”…

  7. “You cannot invade the mainland United States. There would be a rifle behind every blade of grass.” – Isoroku Yamamoto This quote is attributed to Admiral Yamamoto but, there is some contention as to its truth.

  8. I told that dang Duck Hunt dog if he laughed at me for missing one more time, he’d get replaced. Didn’t say anything about the severance package though!

  9. Yeah, yeah, I know your eyes are better, but this ain’t no sniper rifle either. If we ever get one of those, then I’ll let you do the shooting!

  10. A member of Uncle Sam’s Confused Group (USCG) on the lookout for Islamist Terrorists. If he finds one he will be court martialed and keel hauled.

  11. The German shepherd was an invaluable tool for any combatant engaged in close quarters. Unfortunately the second Bologna convention declared the use of “macho” dogs In Warfare to be “unsuitable for gentlemanly warfare” and limited the militaries of the world to chihuahuas. Needless to say, the idea was quickly shelved in favor of attack cats.

  12. “He’s cute ain’t he? Only problem is, he’s got a little bit a Mississippi leg hound in ‘im. If the mood catches him right, he’ll grab your leg and just go to town. You don’t want him around if you’re wearing short pants, if you know what I mean. Word of warning though, if he does lay into ya, it’s best to just let ‘im finish.”

  13. Careful, Kid, you’ll put your eye out! Ooh, Squirrel! German Shepherds make great companions but lousy range officers.

  14. “Duck Hunter – Shore Patrol edition” Not as big a seller for the change in dog… But the NES accessory was awesome!

  15. ” Sorry Rin … this new right hand, left shoulder hold ain’t working’ out so well … but this issued noggin’ brass catcher is awesome!”

  16. Dear wife,
