When someone states they are "running" a firearm, is that some sort of competition, like timed shooting, or tactical course shooting? Does it include old fashioned target shooting? I read this from time to time in threads that are discussing shooting.

LMAO

Worthy of discussion?

It started as a tacticool term and people just couldn't help but embrace the tacticool lingo. Forgive them.

Here's a 'demo' of running the gun:

Must be something like a running iron.

Mike

Symptomatic of some of the more egregious keyboard maestro "shooters" that infest this forum.

People also run scopes. I generally only look through my optics and haven't figured out how to run them just yet. It's the next level of expert and I just can't get there.

does it require regular or premium?

Operate is a synonym of run.

Can you run a computer? Can you operate a computer? Same/same.

Can you operate a rifle? Can you run a rifle?

That ad hoc terminology seems to fall into the same category as Remy, Winnie, etc. Must float some ego boats.

Yeah, I'm sure it's ego.


I'm betting a few of you boys ain't had pussy since pussy had you. Only reason to wrapped so tight.

"running costs"...seriously who hasn't ever used that term?

Right? One can use run in about any sentence. Would you like to run a few rounds through my new rifle?

I wonder if the okie or any of his kin have ever said "I'm running in circles"

You figure they were actually running in a circle?

Maybe they are talking about "driving" a 7.62 semi auto. :-)

I always thought "running a gun" meant you are having the police check it to have a clean history, ie OK to buy.

Like "RUNNING A BACKGROUND CHECK"

The guy shooting the aimpoint scoped gun seems like more fun.

Dumb fugk question.




Dave

Some people don't run...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WWP3vZcKUvo

but I don't think it works with a real punk that isn't likely to comply with VM giving him directives..

I have never 'run' a firearm but do understand the intended usage of the term...and since it is primarily used by Americans I just put it down to not speaking English.

ya!


GWB

I equate "running" something to refer to a piece of equipment that is motorized. You are running that equipment only when the motor is running.

In my mind one can run a drill press, or a chain saw, or a generator. Until I see a motorized gun I will not use that term in regards to a firearm. It sounds ignorant to me.

The General Electric Mini-gun does have an electric motor, which enables it to have a rate of fire of 2,000 to 6,000 rounds a minute. So yes, one can "run" a mini-gun.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minigun

Just a thought...

Is not a manual operation of a mechanical device also considered running? IE; Running the bolt of a Rem 700.

What about the automatic cycling of an AR. Does one not want the rifle to "run" (ie operate) correctly?

I believe the term gets muddled a bit, but for one to say "I run a Sako Vixen for coyotes." Or one to ask "What rig are you running for deer this year?" is acceptable in most all circles of firearm and hunting enthusiasts. (haha "rig" is another term cringeworthy to some.)

Just my opinion on the matter...everyone use what they wish so long as the communication is made, I see no issue.

Word Nazi's, are looking. No searching is more like it.

Hmmm, I thought gun running was illegal. Wasn't that what Oliver North went to jail for? For President Reagan way back? miles

ROFL! You are always welcome here, sir

I like when the "clip vs. magazine" nerds come out of the woodwork.

As if anybody gives a fugk.

Dave

Hey 'flave where were ya yesterday, county? Testeing gear for us. Glad to see your functioning in the cold. Lol

I don't know for sure, but I am guessing the "clip" thing verbiage resonated from the millions that carried Garands and Springfields. It just carried over.

My old man (84, Korean War) says "clip".

I was sitting in a mall waiting for my wife, when a guy sat down next to me. He looked at my cap, noticed it was from seed company, and asked me if I farmed. I told him I did a little, and he said he did too, only a he farmed a lot. He said he "ran" John Deere equipment, and asked me "what do you run". I said "depends on who's after me". He didn't think it was funny. This is the younger generation versus the older. I don't run guns, I shoot them, and think the term "running" a gun is just downright stupid.

By the way, OrangeOkie, I don't think it was a stupid question.

Wow, you are a stupid fu(k, apparently the guy at the mall thought so too.

WASHINGTON— GERHARD A. GESELL, the unpredictable 79-year-old Federal District Judge who presided over the Iran-contra trial of Oliver L. North, saved a final surprise for last by punishing Mr. North for his crimes with a sentence that included a fine, community service and probation, but no prison term.Jul 9, 1989

It makes perfect sense if used properly. Such as, "I run a Remington 700 that will shoot sub-MOA/drive tacks all day long if I do my part".

Apparently it doesn't make sense if you no longer have a prostate.

New 24 HR Campfire motto:

When you run out of Viagra and whacking off is just too much work.



Nice new topic though. Some dick face will come along in a few years and ask the same questions and get the same responses.

You know 99% of the questions on these forums are fellas trolling for supporters of their own stupid thoughts and decisions, right?

None...you might want to take notice of that.

Nah, hanco will just bump it to the top.

....and here I thought guns were "run" by "operators " in the technicool world.

Must have you.....lol. The guy did look like someone from your part of the woods.

Aren't you originally from texass?

This reminds me of the phrase people are using that I had never seen until this last hunting season- when someone posts a picture of a dead deer or other dead animal from a successful hunt on some social media site, 90% of the time they write "I got 'er done today."

you can run away from a firearm.

They are the same stupid $hit for brains that watch hunting shows and think the ignorant S O B that has just shot an animal and keeps yelling " HE DOWN, HE DOWN, is cool!!

MissouriEd I don't think so it is my understand if you were good with a running iron you would likely end up dancing on a rope. Cheers NC

"Running" is so much cooler that "shooting" or "using."

Besides, "running" goes better with my flannel shirt, my beard and my skinny jeans. When I speak of "running" my AR hard, goddammit I have cred.

Those people from Missouri certainly are annoying.




Dave

Do I run a fry pan when I cook? No

Do I run a machine if I stand at a drill press or drive a tractor for 8 hours a day on my job? Yes

Difference is duration.

This is a true story...

I spent the entire morning making my youngest daughter a birthday cake. She helped. We get all done and I put it inside this little cake briefcase looking thing so I could take it out to the garage to stay chilled.

Anyway, one of the little snap levers on one side broke as I walked out the door.

It hit the floor like a cowpie fired from a cannon.

Have you ever made a cake? Not like a box cake, a real fugking cake? It's fugking agonizing. It takes hours and hours. Holy fugk I about hit the ceiling. Plan was to make good memories for the kid and now all she's going to remember is me dropping f-bombs and cursing the Chinese. And of course the dog tried to eat the whole mess so she witnessed a solid rib shot.

Wife gets back from running errands and sees what appears to be a sasquatche's leavings on the threshold of our front door. She gives me the "what the fugk?" I'm like, don't WTF me or you'll be wearing Irish sunglasses for your daughter's birthday.

Long story short, I had to make two cakes. Never again.






Clark

Miculek is an amazing man.

Check out Bob Munden

I posted the same sort of response at the end of the thread, then deleted it when I read yours.

Just wanted you to all know, that most of my rifles wear Leopold scopes.

Bunch of grouchy Fuggs on both sides of the question. Who cares if sound stupid and who cares if it sounds cool. Mohick you need to take some anti depressants you are giving us Missourians a bad name.


GO CHIEFS

I have an AR with a gas operated action, so it makes sense that when I shoot that I'm running it right? My car 'runs' on gas and so does my rifle, whats the big deal?

LMAO. I am now a slightly richer man for the term "Irish Sunglasses" Feel a little deprived having had to negotiate this much of my life without that one.

Does your rifle "run" a Leopold scope?

That's silly

so...you are saying you were taken in from the very beginning. (stop drooling on the carpet, or i'll zap you again.)

I believe Brian Enos was the one that came up with "driving" your pistol. Never could get used to that term.



Clark

I thought gun running was what the Fast and Furious scandal was all about.



deflave,

Would you consider baking a cake for a gay couple's wedding?

I am missing something, please interpret your post for an old drooler.


mike r

I think 99% is a little low...

Only if they sucked my COCK.




Dave

I don't believe it's you that is missing something in that exchange.




Clark

Whew! That is a relief.



mike r

Is "run" the proper term for using a silencer?

You should have wiped your hands on a towel, starting crying, say something to the effect that she doesn't appreciate anything you do, ran to the bedroom and closed the door. Or not. Lol

You trying to send okie into permanent vapor lock? Geezer, some people...

..."It was designed to produce a pavlovian response from fudds, closed minded old farts and other assorted dumfugks. It has been proven to function as designed."


http://www.medicinenet.com/script/main/mobileart.asp?articlekey=4801
Pavlovian response conditioning is of the "carrot and stick" variety. Pavlov would ring a bell before feeding, to cause the dogs to react as if to food itself. He also used electro shock cages. (Ring a bell before shock causes dog to move to other side of cage.)

The quoted comment appears to be a dig at me. I'm simply wondering if we are sharing the same shock box, or not.

Pretty sure you "operate" a silencer...but then I am assuming you are incorrectly referring to suppressors by calling them silencers. Are you some kind of 'mall ninja'?

How do you "operate" something that has no moving parts?

Thanks for telling me what I posted really meant. I doubt if we share anything other than a planet.


mike r

By being awesome. Google it. It's on youtube.

it's douche nozzle speak for when a gun goes bang, bang when you pull the trigger twice.

Running the gun is the accepted and comprehensive denoting of the totality of the firing sequence from the aquirement of a geometrically sound grip of the utilized platform to the de-locking of the retention system to the draw and flow into the close chest secret squirrel position and the presentation of the weapon/sighting complex and the controlled trigger pressment and the subsequent firing of the shot.

FWIW I'm running Angel Soft ass wipe in my bathroom.

I run New Balance walking shoes.

I run a Subaru........shouldn't have told that!

Run the iron over your shirt-
run up the bill at restaurant-
a dry run-
gun runners-
runs a Duramax in his truck-
the fridge runs on LPG-
He runs NPs in his .270win-
Running a business-
run some rounds through and check the group-
Trump runs hotels-
Lets run with the idea-
Run through your thoughts-
run the cleaning rod through the barrel-
a rundown house-
run the power cord-

etc, etc, etc

No. I was smart-assedly referring to a suppressor as a silencer in the spirit of the thread. At least AJ300MAG picked up on what I was running with...

As was I, in the spirit of the thread. Sorry you didn't catch that.

Ive been running utra soft charmin after getting the runs from a high dollar breakfast buffet. shoulda gone to Dennys

I am going to run da wife purdy soon. Lol

I am a sprinter too.

My Indian name is Chief Running Tab.

lotsa "terms" that the average firearms
owner never heard of or used until the
"shooter" movie, or some of the "hunting"
videos

coriolis effect
running
running a chassis
spindrift
drt
age this
score this
calling a firearm a weapon even
though one has no time in the military

too much to list.
i have to put on my swat operator
suit and watch some yoo floob videos
so i know how to act at the range
in front of everyone

Just don't get the runs and you'll be OK.

I don't dislike the term "running" near as much as I dislike the term "rocking" (as in "he's rocking an AR in 3-Gun" or "he's rocking a beard this year"....)

languages evolve new word usages spring up, I hope that one doesn't take hold...

Every hobby has its own jargon. For instance I really am an "operator".... a Ham Radio operator that is... in that hobby (at least for the 40 years I've been in it) when you contact someone, you "work" the other station... as is "I worked a bunch of Europeans when the band opened up yesterday". Oh, and you "run" some amount of power (running 100 watts) or when you "work" a whole bunch of stations one after the other, its called "running" too....

I think "Do those slant eyed fugks that assembled this worthless POS even know what the fugk a birthday cake is????"

And that message is: Avoid people that act like your father.

Checking to see if the firearm was stolen

Hold your gun sideways - especially a rifle.

OK, now that all the azz hats have id'd themselves I am officially closing this tongue in cheek post that was supposed to be fun.

Say what?

You're done running this scam thread?

You beat me to it..

HE DONE HE DONE said every hunting show idiot ever!!

Some of you boys are wound a little tight.

Consider boxer shorts...

Careful, from what I have seen of that bitch you are more likely to get the finger up your arse than the tongue.

Glad it was you and not me.....I'm exausted from just reading this....

Pah, don't believe a word of it, it is simple as...I just make eyes at my wife and quietly mention I wouldn't mind some cake, and wouldn't you know it...fresh hot cake turns up in the kitchen!

Some people just like to make things difficult.

Good thing I didn't have a mouthful of coffee when I read that! LOL!
