My thoughts go out to the Victims families http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/10214661.stm

Have to agree with Gunrunner on this one. You only have to look at the frightening statistics in the US, of the sheer volume of people killed and injured by Firearms, to realise it's not good. The figures speak for themselves (this from the World Health Authority) "Despite a recent spike in drug related shootings in a handful of cities including London, a resident of England or Wales remains 26 times less likely to die by gunshot than an American. In Japan, the risk of gun death is at least 100 times lower than in the United States. That said, best estimates show that gunshots cost us 500 000 lives each year, worldwide. Of these, 300 000 people die in regional conflict and 200 000 in interpersonal violence and suicide.7 The majority of victims are non-combatants, many of them women and children. Where estimates are available, non-fatal firearm related injuries are said to number three for every gun death." Face it uncleal...Guns are BAD NEWS!

Pinched from the Pub...thanks Viper! http://forum.combatace.com/topic/56359-a-new-toy-for-3d-modeling-fans-out-there/

Great stuff..thanks! (have posted in OFF forum too, hope ya dont mind?)

It's bloody good fun!

For having their own daft language http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/wales/7702913.stm

Yes Olham..I have seen that...and am currently making a video, incorporating the Snipe into OFF...watch this space

And the fact that they appear to fly like an F-16

Lou?....It IS possible to go off people you know??!!....you little sod!...you really had me going there!! :rofl:

I think most of the damage was done with the rifle. Also, Cumbria is quite a spread out County, with a relatively small Police Force, he kept on the move...and did a good job evading the Police Snipers....plus the Police aren't armed, so need to call in a Firearms team whenever this sort of incident happens....personally, I think the Police should be armed in the UK...but thats another subject

If RoF is a party, it's a Kiddies one, with few guests....crap food, and warm beer!

Turns out he had a shotgun, and a .22 rifle

AAArgh..a Snipe?...and I cant get the f*cking page to load!!!

It was a legally owned Shotgun...so rare in the UK (because of our strict gun laws)..that it is quite a shock when it happens

My apologies if this has been posted before http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/exclusive-the-unseen-photographs-that-throw-new-light-on-the-first-world-war-1688443.html?action=Popup

They possibly wont be the last!...there must be many such devices still lying around the place..and becoming more dangerous as time goes on

Looking good...thanks for the headsup Mike!

:lol: Glad to have you back old chap!

Have fun with those there Virgin's old fella!! http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2010/jun/01/al-qaida-afghanistan-killed-pakistan-drone

Welcome Honourable Hun...no doubt got bored of not having your ass shot off by the Widowmaker then?

Hellshade...of course you can, I would be delighted to see her fly in your videos..thank you Sir!..it's an honour (Great Screenie too)... She is well suited to dark, cloudy Skies obviously!..haha...go get 'em

Corporal Daryn Roy from Dipton, near Stanley, County Durham One of several North East Soldiers Killed in Helmand Province so far this year

Still got it here RAS if you want it?

Can we get this formalised?...and a proper Step by step guide done as a sticky?
