Can i borrow your stapler?

Post by petemacsydney » 10 Sep 2014, 7:12 pm

hey guys (and gals)

Just thought i'd share... Aldi has stapler guns on sale for $9.99

I'm not sure what they are like. i just spent $30 at bunnings on one, as i was sick of borrowing the stapler at the range or from other people..

Anyway... in case they are any good... and incase you need one for target placements...

Cheers mate. Might have to grab one.

My local range has just instituted a "don't check the stapler is full yourself, an RO has to check it" rule *sigh*.

Sick of their BS so having my own would be handy

You've got to be kidding me?

Surely you have all played RAMBO with the electric stapler in the shed at some time?

Believe it or don't we actually had a club member who had a bad habit of sticking a staple in your arse as he slipped by, hasn't done it since Smithy jobbed him.

He was a bit upset when we all clapped.

I take two to the range at all times, one kept in my pocket and the other one in the top of my box in case someone wants to borrow one- the lender is a prick of a thing that jams every so often and is a bit limp wristed, generally once people have used it they don't ask me for a lend of my stapler again, there is method to my madness.

No you can't borrow it.

You'll (apparently) look down the business end of it and shoot yourself in the eye.

The only thing I can think of is that someone was stealing staples which would be pretty low. Or else they just think we're gonna break the stapler lol

Pretty poor returns. You'd have to steal a sh!tload to make back your range fees :lol:

I still reckon there should be a class in IPSC for RAMBO electric stapler, I would be so competitive. Especially since my stapler is full auto if you hold the trigger right back(has been ever since I replaced the linkage- I should fix that it is a bit dangerous) and can empty a clip of 50x T50 staples in about five seconds.

"All stapler magazines are to opened for inspection. Step back behind the yellow line and do not handle your stapler until the RO has verified you haven't been pinching our siht. Smithy will be assigned to deal with unauthorised discharges and anyone using other than single rounds." :sarcasm:
