The most retarded things you've ever done

Catching a machete by grabbing its blade end. Got stitches.

Buying a romanian built firearm. Got stitches.

Fetching the arm splint while the leg splint was needed when I was an apprentice. Got big embarrassment.

Not taking school seriously while younger. Got school now.
 
Romak-3. I won't ever get one again. Had two, both would split like every second shellcasing you'd feed it. Crappy quality, too. The pins are made out of such shitty metal that dry firing it 10 times when the gun's new will break one. The scope doesn't sit level either. I'm not talking about slightly crooked, I'm talking about fucking not level at all. I know the thing looks awesome, but in my oppinion they shouldn't be sold in western countries. They are a sefaty hazard and a ripoff. The guy at the gunstore even warned me about them before I got him to order me one. Should've listened to him.
 
I jumped on a wrestlers friends back, fell down to the concrete, landing on my right arm, and broke my shoulder, you know it really didn't hurt that much, well that is until I tried to get up.

that doesn't say a thing about quality. an HK PSG-1 totally destroys the brass it touches...

what did you expect? it's an enlarged AK made for people who are too cheap to buy an SVD (or possibly a Zastava)?

you get what you pay for most of the time.

why did you buy two anyway?
 
@SuAside


I didn't buy two. I bought one which split shellcasings, returned it, got a second one which also split shellcasings.

Yes, if your gun splits shellcasings that means that your chamber has faulty measures (due to wear or faulty manufacturing), which poses an extreme potential danger to the shooter.

No, a PSG-1 does not split shellcasings or "destroy the brass it touches". Where did you hear that? While I served in the Luftwaffe I shot G-3 on multiple occasions (the PSG-1 is an advanced G-3 system) and never observed anything like that.

What I expected... well I expected it to be at least similar quality to an yugo sks.

Since you said that one gets what one pays for then you are right, I should have spent more money or gotten a nice american made bolt action.
 
Er, did this just turn into the THIRD firearms discussion thread? :wink:

EDIT Also, If you're digging the Dragunov look, I can definitely point you to the Tigr. Izmash all the way! /EDIT



Anyway, I did something pretty retarded in the last week - maybe not the most retarded thing ever, but it does belong into my Top 10 for sure.

I just moved in with my grandparents (it will be my house in a few years anyway), i.e. in a small apartment in their house which they had let to an old fart for the last two decades or so. After I was done moving all my stuff, I tried to reassemble my bookshelf. Well, I couldn't, because the 6 screws which hold it together were missing in action. So I went on a search for some matching screws. I found out, that the screws which held the grip handle (one of those things old people need for not falling on their ass while showering) in my bathroom in place, fitted just fine. Okay, I'm not 80 years old, hence I wouldn't need a grip in my shower. So I unscrewed it and had 4 perfect screws for my bookshelf. I needed six. So... were to get 2 screws of unusual size on Sunday afternoon?
Then I remembered that my grandparents had exactly the same type of grip in the bathroom down in their apartment. They both are rather petite, so a handle with two screws would certainly still support their weight, wouldn't it? Well yeah, it would. So I took the screws and build my bookshelf.
Unfortunately, a day later, I didn't have running water in my second floor flat (low water pressure due to some burst pipe in the city or something) and showered down at my grandparent's. Well, I sliped in the shower. Guess what I grapped on to? Yupp.
I'm not petite. I weight some 110ish kg. I did not only rip the grip out of the wall, I also broke 2 tiles and tore a fist-size hole into the plastering. Of course I also destroyed the shower curtain and managed to land on the edge of the shover tray, thus spraining my shoulder. Finally I stopped with my forehead on the radiator, which caused a nasty little laceration (more of a cut) which bled for an hour.

And just two hours ago I was doing my laundry. Guess what I found in the pockets of the pants I was wearing the day of the move?

The &%§!} shelf screws! :crazy:

the PSG-1 isn't really a G3. started off like that, but sure isn't anymore.
ejection on the PSG-1 is more forceful, whereas the shaping of the chamber (to prevent jams upon extraction) is more pronounced.

shells spit out by a PSG-1 are beyond salvaging and cannot be reloaded for further use.
 
I've done more stupid things for a good laugh in my life time than I can remember.

The years of and following high school my friends and I conducted several operations. Even the most insane and dangerous stunts were pulled off without a hitch (including convincing law enforcement to work for us, not against us). I don't care to mention the ones I was involved in... -but I'll go onto one of "my friends" more amusing exploits.

An old friend of mine stated that his uncle and aunt went through a bitter divorce. In a bitter rage she cut up slices of this mythical "Limburger cheese". Apparently the stuff is just awful when it comes to smell so she shoved it into his favorite car's air ventilation system. It smelled like absolute death to anyone whom attempted to get in that car. The guy had to sell it to the junk yard.

A light-bulb went off, boy wouldn't it be cool to pull something like that off on the rival school building? So my friend hatched something similar to one of my many operations that he and his friends conducted, "Operation Rancid". Via satellite photo's they constructed their entrance / exit way-points, points of interest, panic areas and contingency plans... They were extremely regimented when conducting their operations to the extent of paranoia.

Unfortunately the supermarket had no good smelly cheese in any great quantity. We -they then looked at fish but there was not enough bang for their buck. Finally one of the guys found 50lb bags of deer poo, a few of those and they were set.

The night they decided to conduct their little plan was the night before school started. At precisely 1:20am they got to the entrance way-point, split off into team alpha and beta, stuck to their guns and before the night was through every air vent had sucked in several kilos of wonderful deer poo. This included the mother of all air vents, the pool air intake vent which conveniently distributed the poo over the surface of the pool, where it mixed to turn the water a wonderful dark brown color.

A week later I spoke to a girl that transferred over from that school to mine. This is exactly what she said, "The kids there were snobs, the school always smelt like a barn and someone had their period in the pool and they tried to make us swim in it."

Priceless. :P

Please forgive me for more off topic :wink: . This will be my last post of this sort in this thread, promise.


@ SuAside

Alright man, you were actually right about the PSG-1. I did some research and what you said proved to be true. However, I think before making a general statement which can be applied to most guns I think it's important to realize that there is a difference between a PSG-1 damaging casings during ejection and any other rifle splitting necks in the chamber during firing. And since we both will most likely never own or shoot a PSG-1 because it's worth like 3 times as much as my car I will not bother with this special case anymore. And if you like a Romak-3 so much that you are willing to argue this hard I will no longer burst your bubble. But please, if your gun's ejected casings look like this

or similar you need to quit shooting it and have it looked at by a gunsmith.

Better safe than sorry. Can we agree on that?
 
Well I would say my retarded thing, within recent memory anyway, happened two nights ago. I was walking home from a friends house with an unopened beer bottle in my hand. I tripped off the curb and fell right on the bottle which I for some reason had both hands on. Sliced both hands, instantly covered in blood.

End result - Six stiches in my left hand, two in my right. I have surgery on Thursday to reattach part of the tendon of my left thumb, which I can move but cannot move past the final joint. All just in time for today, my birthday. Huzzah.
 
Haha thanks mate. Ah well, que se ra se ra, and other such nonsense sayings. Atleast now I can say I was in hand to hand combat with a cougar.

Hell yeah, you held on to your beer till the bitter end... :mrgreen:
 
Maphusio, that shit (no pun intended) is not funny... seriously, if you'd get caught by me, i'd hang you by the bloody balls.

if you'd have followed up by sending the health inspection on their ass, ok. but leaving it like that? fuck... that's rancid indeed.

i hope someone finds out and kicks you in the groin for that, asshole.

a friend of mine owns one. he's selling it for 5000 euros. that's hardly 3 times as much as a car.
i think its a wee bit too much for any rifle, really.

you're not bursting any bubbles. i'm not interested in owning a Romak-3/PSL/whatever.

and of course headspace ruptures are bad (sidewall ruptures are even worse), but i was simply intrigued by your experiences with a PSL. it could be user error (wrong cal) or a 'simple' headspacing issue.
