  1. If Aus is anything to go by, I'd be denied FAC because of an argument with my bin man, whereas a someone on a terrorist watchlist would retain their firearms priveleges for fear of upsetting anyone. Two tier ring a bell?
  2. No, they would buy the market wholesale and attempt to sell on for an outrageous margin. Ironically leaving firearms somehow less accessible to the general public...
  3. Personally, it would restore my faith in humanity somewhat if it turned out to be an "Ahmed". As long as he wasn't just embarrassed about the clumsy mass shooting and wanted to show the shooter hope it was done...
  4. I dare say it might have been prudent to completely neutralise the threat. Especially with another shooter at play. There's a saying amongst 2A advocates in the states: "I'd sooner be judged by twelve than carried by six" Fair okay to that bloke though. He'll never pay for a drink again.
  5. Go with the thicker option if you don't want cauterised fingers every throw
  6. Let's see a photo of the Chiappa then? I quite fancy one. Have you looked at the Zulus 2-12x? Looks like a lot of scope for the money
  7. We get the picture Kram, you're tight and think you can reinvent every wheel. I can relate, going through 9 of the falteimer knock offs in a few years before buying genuine which has lasted me to this day and many more to come. By all means feel free to disregard my experience and crack on as usual though 👍 Ah, you went full retard... don't do that.
  8. 10/10 post for multiple reasons
  9. Can't go wrong with Falteimer mate, mines outlasted every other one I've owned. I've got one of the circular courant ones too which is decent as it doesn't fold up and twist your throwline. I'm using Zing-it which has been my preferred line to date and just the cheap notch bags in a few different weights.
  10. I disagree. It won't force people into buying the Vertec, it'll nudge them into buying something like the reflex instead. Poor move if its true.
  11. 20251128_120126.mp4 Best demo I could manage from today's little apple "prune" 🤣 Apologies for the shaky camera work, was trying to pull my rope out one handed.
  12. No no, you knot block the cambium saver when you set your tie in point. Work the tree and just come down a you like, then retrieve.
  13. I'll try and grab a photo. I use it "back to front" from the conventional MRS setup. Knot block the small ring with a retrieval tail. Then put the retrieval ball on the working end on the ground to retrieve from the ground. The key benefit is that i can drop through as many natural redirects as I want and still retrieve it easily, which you can't get away with using a quickie or similar.
  14. Well Jesus H Christ 🤣🤣
  15. I'll raise you. I've gone full circle. I predominantly climb SRT but use a cambium saver as my top tie.
