Team Infidel Rides Again...

From out of the west, ride four fat bastards (and one skinny little bastard), stuffed with the flesh of the swine, craving the taste of the fermented (and distilled) barley; and with lust in our hearts, we set forth to right that which is wrong, and fight for truth, justice, and the gun-nut way (and to get a good larf in the process)... We are:
TEAM INFIDEL!!!

Fighting Idiotarianism as only REAL MEN can

When We lest left our intrepid heroes, they were busy desecrating the Muslim unholy book, Al Qu'ran:

This week, we turn out intentions to a far more insidious (though certainly less offensive foe)...


THE COMPUTER!!!!!

Yes folks, I'm sure we've all harbored the desire at one time or another to take our frustration out on our computers... Unfortunately for many of us this would involve termination of employment, and possibly prison time (not to mention holding FOREVER for tech support).

Have no fear fair citizens, TEAM INFIDEL is here to save the day... or rather to allow you to take out your frustrations on these vile machines vicariously through us, the four fat bastards (and one skinny bastard).


The villains in question:

Yes, these evildoers have been tried and convicted of causing countless hours of frustration, loss of productivity, stress, ruined relationships, and losing your best porn (uh wait, I wasn't s'posed to mention that bit was I... but hell they deserve it).

Remember folks, we are computing professionals; specially trained in information and systems security. Try this at home and you could get your ass killed. Of course if you are that stupid, then please do; we can always use a little more chlorine in the gene pool.

Now it's time to get CRUEL AND UNUSUAL

Our first sentence, death by firing squad. But let's make it interesting...

PENETRATION TESTING
No shit, there we were with all these computer to shoot, and all these different guns to try out... so we figured hey, lets do some testing to see which gun has more computer knockdown power than the others...

A lot of folks ask "Why bother with the .357 sig, it's jsut a .40 with a 9mm bullet in it".. yeah, and it's loaded to much higher pressures. It is essentially a low end .357 magnum in a smaller and more compact bottleneck cartridge for autopistols. Not it's not a miracle, buit it's DAMN good at penetration, but generally wont overpentrate in soft tissue, which is why more than 1/3 of all state police agencies in this country have switched to it, or are switching to it.

But the proof is in the shooting,

Let me just say... RESPECT THE .357 SIG



We tested every major auto pistol handgun caliber, the ONLY one to blow through motherboard, both sides of the case, and all the internals, and still exit the other side was the .357 sig.

That includes my hot .45acp +p loads. Oh and those little dents in the back are from 9mm +p jhps.

More photgraphic evidence? This is a maxtor hard drive, with a good solid hit from winchester whitebox .40 hardball:


The .40 hardball round stopped dead and splattered out, not even punching through the first platter, and turning itself inside out in the process.

Not so the .357 sig


Yes, that is daylight and the lovely Arizona countryside you are witnessing through those holes.

Now, onto the legendary manstopper, the 12ga.

You hear a lot of bullshit about shotgun shooting for personal defense, often hearing something a little like this: "Oh man, just load it up with some #8 bird shot (so it spreads out and doesn't go through the walls) and just point it in the right direction and you'll take their head off without even aiming".


BULLSHIT

This is what happens with a #8 shot shell into a hard drive from 7 yards away:


Now that's nothign to sneeze at, but it aint takin anyones head off, and the spread is like 8"... yeah you're gonna need to aim. Oh and that #8 you're so fond of? Yeah all its gonna do is bloody the guy up unless it hits some serious soft and sensitive tissue.

Now, THIS is what you really want to do with your 12ga:



That there is a 3" hole through BOTH sides of that computer case. That is from a 2-3/4" federal reduced recoil reduced penetration tactical/personal defense load. Its a few #4 buck pellets wrapped around a couple 00 buck, with a thick wad, and a reduced powder charge. I HIGHLY recommend this ammo for your home defense shotgun. I load it in mine, because I can empty the mag rapidly and repeatedly, without a bruise; and still get results like that.

Unfortunately the corpse is looking a little worse for the wear:



So I think we'll leave it for this week with your final moments of zen...
