First off I would turn the dog out(half rot half sheperd) if that didnt work I would empty a clip of 7.62s into them.I dont ussualy have trouble with people messing around everyone around here think I am crazy any way could have been the time I set all my girlfrinds stuff on fire in the front yard

I probably wouldn't have to worry about it. I have VERY nosesy retired neighbors that live on either side of me, and my neighborhood is full of old people who have nothing better to do than watch what others are doing out their window. And my one neihbors bedromm is next to my driveway. She would call the Cops before I would have a clue what is going on. Not only that, but I have 2 security lights in the back yard and 1 in the front that are all VERY sensitive to motion. On top of all that, I also have a large German Shepard who have VERY good senses and would know if someone is in the yard. And she is loud!!! Add to that the fact that my quad stays in the garage. You would have to move the vehicals out of the garage to get it out. The Dirtbike and Harleys stay in the locked shed. But, it would take a miracle to get to there without being seen or heard. If all else fails, I keep a loaded CO2 pellet gun in my room which is enough to scare someone off. And the arsenal of weapons that my dad has in my parents bedroom should do the trick if it comes to that. However, a big German Shepard, CO2 gun, and a Louisville slugger all coming at you followed by an big old biker with a Remington 12g and a .40cal Glock should be enough to scare anyone awayimg src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif" border="0">

AnimalMother-I am appalled! You KNOW BETTER than to load more than 28 rounds in a 30 round magazine! Drop and give me 10!

Posted by: reconranger

The M16/AR15 family is prone to "bolt over base" failures to feed the first round from a fully loaded magazine. By only loading 28, you relieve some pressure on the magazine spring, and that usually takes care of the problem.

So, never load more than 28, never use reverse on an 01 Raptor, and never assume anybody has a sense of humor!

Posted by: reconranger

The 01 Raptors have transimssion problems, and the word is that you can avoid them by never putting it in reverse. Just one of the things you hear around. Who knows for sure???

Been there, done that. Ran 'em off with my .45, but didn't shoot. Would have been more troulbe for me. They were locked together and the jackasses didn't even notice the lock. I know two kids that won't be back to my house. Let's just say the street wasn't the only thing they left skid marks in.

ha ha ^ someone fro ma neighboring community i went riding with had a 430 big bore 89 warrior and some local kids decided 1 night to steal it.. well it was outside for a reason.. cuz it didn't run well the kids pushed it about 1/4 down the road and couldn't get it started bcuz it had no battery! they weren't caught that night.. but 2 days later they were and you'd never belive it... the kids dad walked into a local gas station to pay for his gas and some kids were talking about it... they later confessed to stealing it ..

I've had enough vehicles broken into, I have it all planned out if I catch somebody stealing anything from me. I will hold them at gunpoint (I don't leave home without it), and act like a real nervous, hyped up, pissed off maniac. I'll tell them to be careful or I'll fill 'em with holes. I will attempt to get them to strip buck a$$ naked. If they won't, I'll just get more nervous and trigger happy. Hopefully my dog will be close, a good deterent to keep them from running. They wouldn't make it far, hehe. Would also scare the hell out of them, they'll do what I tell them to img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif" border="0"> These guys WILL pay for every freaking fool that has ripped me off before. I hope it doesn't happen, but if it does hopefully I'll be prepared. If all else fails, kick the living sh!t out of them. I have no tolerance for meth maggot pukes that rip people off.

it tiny and knuckle head, my two pitbulls arn't out then i would turn them loose on the sorry stealling s.o.b's. either that or show them what the barrel of my desert eagle .50cal looks like. most of the time my dogs are out in the yard anyway and i haven't seen to many people that will get out of their cars will their out.

Posted by: TexasPsycho

in texas if you shot someone they had better be armed and your life in danger. thats why you slice your arm and put the knife in their hands after shooting and before calling the cops. not saying i would do that but i've never had a reason to either. i have signs warning about the dogs and they don't like strangers.

Posted by: ThrashAndCrashUntilItsTrash

Talk is cheap!!!!! all you guy talking about shooting them.....BULL!!!!! Don't get me wrong a have 10 guns, but to shoot someone for steeling my ride, no way....not worth spending the rest of my life in jail; YOU CAN NOT SHOOT UNLESS YOU ARE IN DANGER OF YOUR LIFE.....some dumb a$$ steeling your ride is not endangering your life, so shuttup!!!! some of you make me sick..........and to answer your question on the thread....... I would knock the crap out of them, no matter how big they are....only worth a couple days in jail at max, well worth it.

Posted by: tbsleeper

i would be affraid they had a gun so i would just call the copsor if they didnt i would tackle them and give them a few wacks then let them run.

Posted by: DGScrambler400

lets just say they wouldnt try to steal my quad again, even if they were still capable... img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif" border="0">

so, whats so wrong with that? and only 10?hr>


I just assumed Animal had a 50 round clip and there was nothing big enough left to shoot the other 18 rounds at.

And yes, you should always short load any clip over 10 rounds. This is not just a "bolt over" issue but rather keeps the mag spring from being fully compressed for long periods of time. When fully compressed the spring can become weak and cause misfeeds on the last several rounds in the mag. Leaving a mag loaded in storage is not a good thing.

- - Even though I am not among "all you guy" in general I again agree about not shooting someone for stealing your ride. However you are not correct about the "IN DANGER OF YOUR LIFE" comment in all states.
so shuttup!!!! - - -

- - No!
......and to answer your question on the thread....... I would knock the crap out of them, no matter how big they are... - - -

- - Well if "they" are four or five in number I can only suggest you look at your first comment in this post.
only worth a couple days in jail at max, well worth it. - - -

- - As long as you are happy with the outcome.

Posted by: AnimalMother85

standard infantry 11b soldier carries 210 rounds, which equals to 7, 30-round magazines. there is no problem in carrying 30 rounds in a 30 round magazine(for thats what their designed to carry), if the magazine is not all jacked up. If the magazine is jacked up, it should be dx'ed.

hey man, we're just messin around, army lingo between an infantryman, field artillery guy, and well, i'm not sure exactly if reconranger is force recon, or an army ranger, never the less, its all fun and games, and we wouldn't shoot somone for steeling our rides, we just might scare the crap out of them 30 or so times simotaneously.

Hmm... i have tried this once. a bunch of retards about a 1/4 mile from my shop/shed were eyeing my Mojave and the next day i noticed the shop door was unlocked every thing was still there so the next night i sat in there with a crow bar, bb gun, a 300lbs kid with anger towards the pot smokers and a bunch of old garden and farm hand tools. they walked by a bunch but never looked at the shop.. i was kinda mad i wanted some action

Lets say you are out at some riding park or at home or whatever & you catch 2 guys trynig to steal your ATV. They don't see you but you see them. What do you do?

I am just curious to see how everyone would react. I think I would go postal.

Posted by: SEMO

never use reverse on an 01 Raptor?

Are you saying that reverse is the cause of all of the 01 raptor trans problems?!?! I have never heard this before, please elaborate.
