Stretch Armstrongs vs 700 nitro express

[Mountain]

How can you call this skin-flinting when someone went out and spent almost 2 boxes of 9mm on a toy to shoot?

shoulda used .40 - Stretch in a world-o-hurt

Skinflinting because he shot Stretch Junior, not the full size Stretch. That said, 9mm is only a half step above 22LR so that also qualifies as skinflinting too.

9mm is f*cking lame.

We need to shoot one with a 50 BMG.

Pfft Stretch Monster is way tougher View attachment 552358

When we were kids, my brother had a Stretch Armstrong, and I had the Stretch Monster. A few years ago I found Armstrong at Target and of course bought for my kids. I wanted to get the Monster too, but apparently they don't make it anymore and even damaged ones are listed on eBay for several hundred dollars a pop.

always knew you preferred the .40

That's cool stuff too. Demolitionranch tested that stuff.

Not new. I can remember years (too many) reading about using this sort of material (the Seussian "ooblek" been applied, yet), to catch bullets in buckets for ballistics research, instead of water tanks.

Still cool.

The Kentucky Ballistics dude said in this video, that they had already done that.
Of course, I'd like to see it with my own eyes.

I had Stretch Monster as a kid, it was my favorite toy as youngster, it took a beating but once it ripped that was it.

I got a buddy who is a vintage toy dealer and he said they would pay upwards of $1000 for an original with box, maybe more depending on condition

I’ve shot a double rifle in 560 nitro express, there I said it, nope, nada, never again.

for the record, I hit a milk jug at 50 yds. I declined the second shot.
