I want one.  now where's that dang cat?

[Debonair]

Now go get yourself a model C-5

6 MM BBs....for airsoft guns?  That's a freaking plastic ball of annoyance.  And a dog training tool.

You could turn it into an alarm clock.

I just cant think of a way to jusify the expence to my wife.
and I dont think my primary reason of "hunting the cats" is going to cut it LMAO

that is the main reason most men agree to have children.

for nearly a month before my sons 8th Christmas I would take out his train set and "test it for safety" after he went to bed.  no decent father would run the risk of his son being injured by a faulty and untested train.  to not play with it, I mean test it would have been negligent.

seriously, a son is all it takes to change "that freak of a man-child who refuses to grow up and stop playing with toys" into "a wonderfully devoted father who spends so much time playing with his kids"

I was looking at that yesterday. Is that a Hen Long tank? Did you have many problems with it? Is there enough space inside the turret to stuff things like a pinhole wireless cam?

[Chairboy]

Mounted everything on the outside, can't remember how the inside looks.  Yeah, I think it's one of the Hen Long rebadges.

Imagine if yours had an operational gun. Bet you woulda gotten a BB in the face. Would be get good for taking out any rogue mice and the such under there.

Well the Vs airsoft abrams was shipped to the wrong address, my fault, hadn't updated my address on ebay for like 3 years. Since it was an ebay deal I have doubts that It will ever make it to my correct address. Oh well somebody got a nice xmas present.

However, I was in a RC hobby store yesterday and I saw Vs Pro Leopard 2a5 in winter camo! The leopard was my first choice anyway, I settled for the abrams. It's not airsoft but it's IR laser, which is even better because it can do battle with other Vs tanks. Needles to say I bought it. I also ordered the more realistic linked tracks. It came with the rubber one piece tracks.

The detail is awesome, very near styrene scale model detail. I'm gonna hook it up with more detail work and paint, a laser site mod, and a mini wireless cam. And I'm sure I'm going to get another one so I can have fights with friends. I'm waiting for an m1a2 Vs Pro IR to come up on ebay that won't need to be shipped from hong kong or japan.

Anyway it's a blast, I've allready ran through two sets of batteries.

Don't want to jinx it but, I'm probably going to marry her. My mom won't like it but she'll come around, as long as I'm happy.

Chairboy, a lil off topic but, if you cover yourself in babypowder BEFORE you venture into areas with the itchy insulation the pwder will form a kinda protective barrier. Also to remove insulation grab a old pare of your wifes panty hose... and rub them on your skin, it will remove the insulation very effectivly
