Maybe the tripod should be banned

Wagging my finger at the Coyote crowd; another one of yall...18 year old minor league baseball player over in Bradenton (which ironically has a 1/4 mile track for legal speeding) with a tripod on his 5.0 weaving in and out of traffic. Triggered a multi-car accident which resulted in the loss of a truck driver.


Yes I'm old. But to me those tripods announce "I'm on my way or about to do something incredibly unlawful." Maybe they should start writing tickets for them. Just use them off-road.

A ‘22 does not an s650 make

egg on my face; I fixed it I suppose an s197 GT500 or Termi can wreak the same amount of havoc but those were not as commonplace and relatively affordable compared to the Coyote cars.

Some people drive like idiots, nothing new here. Always happened, always will.

Oh! I saw an S550 drive by with one of those yesterday. No camera. I wondered what it was.

But it did have a flash, like a camera. Look here, smile, and wait for the flash!

On a less joking note, that rifle is very hard to control on full auto. No, I am not old enough to have been issued one (M16A1, lol), but I have shot one, a transferable that I was considering purchasing in the 90s. It was very tough to keep the muzzle from climbing up and up.

It was really a bad idea for an assault rifle. .308 never was really designed for that role and was a bad attempt to copy what the Germans and then the Soviets had already done (e.g., the Soviets used their 7.62 battle rifle cartridge and designed a shorter, 39 mm case, but the US only dropped the 30-06 from the Garand battle rifle case length down to 51mm, making for a way too powerful rifle to use on full auto).

Like it or not, and it had teething pains, the 5.56 was a far better assault rifle cartridge, so much so that the Soviets later copied us and dropped the caliber of their AK-47 to 5.45, making an already controllable assault rifle even easier to use (the AK74).

OK, enough of this aside. Back to tripods and traffic disasters.

And a Braves guy.... Those camera racks look silly too
