No ill will mate, and didn't intend any name calling, nor was I judging. I've just have enough of blokes up my way cutting loose on the birds for some stupid reason. If you really want to talk about pests try flying foxes. I fully understand that the crops have to be protected, but it's like putting out a bait, the Galahs just see it as food. Maybe you could get Norton to run around naked with his big gun. That would scare anything
If it's not wood and blued steel, it's not one of mine

There are very few native birds or animals that are not protected. I will leave it at that.

Just had a mental image of Norton with his big gun joined by Blackened and his big stick running naked.....you really know how to make me wish I was blind :)

I see up Bilpin way they have nets over the apple orchards, I thought to keep out the birds but now it occurs to me it's probably for the flying foxes. I understand the frustration you have with city hunters getting in the bush and cutting feral, shooting anything that moves. I'm certainly not that type, spent almost all my school holidays as a kid out on the uncles farm. Hare's are a protected species up there as my cousin has some attraction to the dopey way they hop about so we don't shoot them.

He who has the most toys wins.


Isn't having the most toys more about compensating for having a small member? :D

I can confirm that collecting toys makes me feel more like a real man :lol:

I'm 4'19 and suffer chronic small man syndrome, treatment so far has been a series of either turbo or V8 cars, Hayabusa bikes and big rifles. They only alleviate the symptoms though and I'm considering a crowd funding project to search for a cure. I probably got enough experience to get a professorship and lecture on the subject :) :lol: :lol:

Won't you have trouble reaching up to the letter boxes? :sarcasm:


These not only hold ammo, they also act as a step so I can reach the mail box, a seat so I can see over the wheel when driving and best of all if I use 2 I can pretend I'm of normal height like a real man :lol: :lol:

Wasn't there a bullpup .50 made in Australia? I've never been able to find much on it except a picture.

Heading back home in the morning and after a few days bush shooting the big guns I'm feeling 6'2". I'm sure after a few days back at work the stress load on my shoulders will have me back to 4'19" in no time :( At least I have a big bag of brass to reload :)

Speaking of big guns, i came across a single shot pistol in .600 nitro express.

Now, I'm not 100% sure it's legit, but it's almost too stupid to be made up...

We have pistol sized 12 gauge shotguns in the US. I made one at one point.

The Serbu is very popular:

It's bigger than a normal handgun, but that's partially because it has a tube mag. It's smaller than that .600 Nitro.
