Lubricated Rifles!

This from a friend and gun manufacturer:

"At a recent Law-Enforcement Tactical Carbine Course, several students decided that their AR-15s needed lubrication.

Mistaking an aerosol can of target adhesive for a can of gun-oil, they ' sprayed-down' ten rifles!

What happened next is interesting: Of the ten 'treated' rifles, seven stopped functioning immediately and completely, which is surely not unexpected.

However, three rifles had their bolt and bolt carriers treated with Robbie Barrkman's (ROBAR) NP3 metallic/teflon coating. Those three continued to function normally, albeit sluggishly! They did not run well, but they ran. The other seven were altogether out of action."

Comment: I am a great fan of NP3, even more so now. Recommended!

Superpower no Longer?

Superpower no longer?

This from friend in the System:

"The Chinese and Russians, in contemptuous disregard for the endless string of treaties to which only the USA anally adheres, have been busy building, and openly testing, a new generation of Mobile ICBMs. We have nothing like it!

Within a year or two, the US will be forced to retire its entire ICBM fleet, because of age. We have no replacements, nor any ability to make new ones. We stopped building nuclear warheads in 1989, when Bush1 shut down the Rocky Flats Plant in CO. In 1992, as a parting abomination upon his Country, Bush1 unilaterally stopped all testing at the Nevada Test Site. Tribal knowledge in building nuclear weapons has since been almost entirely lost, as the people who did it are long-since deceased or retired.

We've belatedly begun manufacturing some replacement triggers, but the process is timid and slow. 'Readiness of the stockpile,' is now laughingly ' verified' via dubious computer-simulations, so we're fat, dumb, and happy in the 'knowledge' of what 'should happen.' When asked about 'readiness,' we continue to naively nod 'yes,' having no idea of what we're agreeing to. We don't really know if any of them will any longer work of not!

We used to make wonderfully elegant weapons, but as with our Saturn V and the SR-71, we, as a civilization, literally no longer have the ability, nor the national will, to make such things. As a civilization, we have stopped moving forward. And, while we dither, our world enemies continue to develop new and advanced weapons at a dizzying pace, weapons for which we have no equivalent.

We are rapidly being outclassed, and the subject is almost never discussed. Why have these facts have not been disseminated (they are out there in open literature)? We all know why!

Naive, vain, guilt-ridden, technology-hating American Liberals naively believe that our nuclear weapons are 'evil,' (everyone else's are apparently okay!) and that we, as a nation, don't need them, just as they stupidly believe the same about land-mines."

Comment: The current Administration, like the last three, apparently couldn't care less!

And, lest we let Carter off the hook, he was the fool who unilaterally decreed that we will not reprocess spent fuel. Everyone else does!

The riddance of the USA as a world, military superpower, with accurate, projectable, nuclear weapons, has been a wet-dream of Russia and China since the end of WWII. We are currently doing virtually everything possible to assist them in achieving that goal!

We don't need "enemies!"
