<A HREF="http://www.counter-strike.net/pics/pic20.jpg" target="_new">Taken at scene of last shooting</A>

Seeing as how all the news agencies practically have this guy branded as a CS player....

What the media is saying and what the evidence is
saying are two completely different things.

They say he is a trained sniper:
Yes, he is a decent shot, but no self respecting
sniper uses a .223/5.56mm assault rifle for sniping.
An AK-74 (witness saw it) has an accurate range of about 200 yds.
a real sniper would use at least a .308/7.62mm,
more likely a .50 cal sniper rifle that has an accuracy of over 1000 yds.

They say he may be Al-Qaida (sp?)
Bull$hit, no fundamentalist Islamic extremist
is going to say "I am God" on a western Pagan Tarot card.
He wouldn't even say "I am Allah"

This guy (possibly female, but I doubt it) is a wacked out
full blooded American with a thing for pi$$ing off the cops.

(just my not so humble opinion)

Flame not, lest ye be phlegmed.

Thats becauze the sniper doesn't fit any of their established 'serial killer' profiles, they have no idea how to track him/her/them down so they are blaming whatever they can get thier hands on.

Heh, I just recently started playing that game. It's fun to use the tank cheat three times over, and do the same with the weapon cheat. Barricade yourself at the top platform of the police station by using the tank to block the ramp. Then, start sniping passers-by. Wait for a big collection of cops to build up, then molotov cocktail them and watch 'em burn hehehehe.

The largest calibre you can get legally in Ireland is a regular .22. I had a Remington .22 years ago, then I changed it for a shotgun.

Ruger 10/22 Synthetic stock with stainless barrell
Remington wingmaster 410 pump.

As you can see my collection is limited at the moment but I'm hoping to expand it.

That's pretty damned cool.

Sidearms are illegal in Ireland, but if I had a choice I'd probably get a nice little Glock.

And I've always wanted a Barret M-52. Just in case I need to take out a helicopter.

Not quite the same. I just want to always be able to do what I want without caring what others think and so on.

If you want a more detailed explanation I'll have time this evening to write a post. But as I am in class right now there is no time for a long post.

I shoot my guns on a regular basis. I go out the the range and practice. I hunt, for sport and food. I don't get people that are against hunting? It's either we kill them with our guns or you kill them (or just wound them) with your cars. Oh well.

I have a remmington semi-auto classic .22 rifle I use for target practice. Its fun to rip through 500 rounds in a couple hours. I have a 4X scope on it that I have set up for 25 to 100 metre accuracy.
I never used it to kill a small animal. I figure why kill the fluffy little animal if I an not going to eat it. Hell I don't even want to clean it.
I keep it at my parents cabin. When I go there I have access to a rifle range. Its fairly safe because the backstop is a 300 foot hill.
A couple of years ago I was using the rifle when it was -10C outside and had a sidebreech on one round. Since then I only use the rifle in warm weather. I still can't figure out how the firing pin was released without the round fully chambered.

I have kept up with the changing Gun Laws in Canada so I still can get a handgun. I don't really want one because they're too much of a hassel to own. But I would like to use one in a pistol range one day.

If I did ever get a pistol I would probably get this one.
Its made in Canada. I'm a little patriotic. :lol:

She took the time to show me how she could take down her rifle and then showed me her target reports.
My wife could pop me between the eyes with this rifle at 300 metres.

Hmm, judging by all this, wonder if they'll let me in the US after this summer.
a) I am the sickest mofo at cs, I just came back from a game w/ the best on this server, and all I used was a deagle- 24 kills, 1 death (cause some b!tch was camping in a spot which was black on my monitor)
b) this summer I'm going there to go hunting part of the time with a shotty and a 50 cal rifle.

Well, I don't quite understand <i>sports</i> hunting and I prefer to buy my beef in neatly packaged slices. But in my book, if you or someone else eats what you kill for fun, it's perfectly OK. As long as you're not killing people, that is.
