[LT1MCSS]

I decided to put this in the members sections. Sorry if it is a dupe but i didnt see it posted here or in the general section.

That bastard is going to enjoy a bunk buddy in a small room soon!

 

[BillO]

How about duping this in the general section too ?

 

[LT1MCSS]

As long as it won't get removed by a mod we can put it there. I thought for sure it would have been posted somewhere else too.

 

[vellnueve]

It's been mentioned...

 

[jdubois]

The guy is an ass, and lets all hope he gets caught. But, if it's non-functional, is he still able to be prosecuted under C. 269 § 10A?

 

[Jaxon]

And if its non-functional, why the false headline? (Its rhetorical)

 

[pdm]

Hahaha, that sucker, he stole a loudener. I love it.

Loudeners are better, because when it comes to firearms, louder is better. I helps the economy by selling more disposable ear plugs from China. Didn't your gubermint teach you anything?

 

[Rob Boudrie]

Non functional, worth $1100?????

 

[madmarc0]

Non functional, worth $1100?????

You know how the media accurately reports news

It was one of 3 or 4 that was manufactured exactly like the original can complete with markings and all ! It was valuable but not that much.

I moved it to General... don't see why you would want it in Members forum- it's pretty much public at this point anyways.

So other than being non-functional, is there anything truthful in that story?

 

[News Shooter]

You'd think that tub would be easy to spot

 

[one-eyed Jack]

The usual dumb reporting. A fake can. Non-functional? Suppressors don't function. They either is one or they aint. I can get two real ones for $1000. Wonder what the real story is? Jack.

An odd choice for gun to put a silencer on.

 

[Rockrivr1]

It's not like the camera's are hidden at ZHA. How the hell did he think he'd get away with it.

Well, if I had the ambition and the bucks and a AK, either semi or full, I would build or buy a suppressor for it. I look at suppressors as just plain fun toys. They keep the noise down, more so with subsonic calibers. Try my suppressors at the shoot this sat. and you'll see what I mean. Jack.

I know exactly what you mean, now that I think of it in that context. I was just thinking that usually the silencer comes into play at keeping your location hidden. Now an AK with it's accuracy flaws seems like a gun that would put you within a closer proximity to your target. The effectiveness of the rifle seems to be a large amount of firepower at close range, not concealement and precision.

Now of course if I were to buy a silencer for a rifle it would be for fun being that I am not a soilder and am not fighting a war, so now I see your point.

That's what I figured when you first mentioned it in one of the other threads.

 

[Fixxah]

If you were to drop a silencer, would anybody hear it? J/K.....what an a**h***.

Video of the idiot.

 

[namedpipes]

Video of the idiot.

Granted, the guy looks the type, but in the video I didn't actually SEE him take it, though it did look like he looked at it.

But then again, if I saw what looked like a suppressor laying on a counter, I'd probably look at it too.

Did they video tape the actual theft?

That's not the complete video.

According to the blurb for the video he can be seen putting it in his pocket...

The unit was reported stolen by employees of Zero Hours Arms of Easton. After receiving video surveillance unit it was determined the unit was taken at 2:44 p.m. on 09/18/08. The item was located on the counter just behind the computer monitor. In complete video subject is seen taking the unit and putting it into his pocket

Salad dressing on the counter of a gun shop?

 

[Hoppy]

Salad dressing on the counter of a gun shop?

i top my steak with Caesar salad dressing. see even salad dressing has a manly/fattening use, plus its like 90% oil.

seems rather sensationalist to call this a suppressor

im not sure what it was, but lets say its a cut away demonstration model. it could be worth 1000+

 

[vellnueve]

More likely it was just a hollow can without internals.

 

[Pilgrim]

I was a ZHA this AM.

The guy got caught this morning!!!!

NICE!

 

[vellnueve]

Since it wasn't actually an NFA item, I guess the federal pound-me-in-the-ass penalties don't apply...
