"My Pet Peeve" is when people say, "I can shoot [tiny groups] with [brand name] rifle all day long!" When in reality, they've never shot that particular gun for 24 consecutive hours.

Not when people say "you can't make that shot with that rifle?" LOL

one of my pet peeves is when someone hands me a loaded gun for me to inspect.

My pet peeve is folks who can't spell, and ask questions that no one could answer.

How people pronounce Mauser/ mouser or mawser?

Alpo · 08-25-2010, 04:15 PM

It might be mauzer, like "Hey Ma, when's supper?", and a Z. I've heard it said that way. I say mowzer, like "Ow, I hit my thumb with a hammer", again with a Z. People that say mouser, like "Ow, my thumb", but with an S, are just wrong.

Oh thats funny Jim.

Or how about when they call you on the phone saying that they have a problem with their .45. So you ask what kind of .45. I donno it say 45acp. Like what manufacturer? Its black. Think it holds like 8 or 15 rounds or sumptin like dat.
Whats wrong with it? Don't shoot like its supposed to.

Pointing out illogical reasoning is a legitimate counter argument. That is the problem with internet forum mods, they rarely understand what constitutes legitimate, honest and civil debate. They reward the trolls and annoy the people genuinely trying communicate. I don't really like this place anyway, have fun with your power trip. ...nuff said.
