Ladies and Gentlemen,

Yesterday we had some frinds come over to shoot, and the conversation drifted towards hunting pre-historic animals, as the 577 T.Rex was being talked about.

I said I really wished science can come with a time machine, so we can go back a few thousands years and bhunt some of those animals.

This morning, Walter calls.

Walter, laughing, "Ha ha ha. guess what I have found?"

Me "Probably some nonsene, as usual!"
Walter "No nonsense, real, proven, scientific discovery! Your dream of going back in time to hunt tyros and mastos is NOT going to happen. Because, I made some research on the Internet - I was up until 3 last night reading all these things, very interesting. One can travel in time FORWARD, but not backwards. Now, you are the one who is so clever, tell me why?"

Me "Walter, I haven't the foggiest idea, and whatever happens in this regards, will happen way past my life time, so I am not paying any attention to all this nonsense"

Walter "You see, you are not as clever as you think you are. I love it when you don't understand something! Now you know how I feel every time you tell me some scientific thing"

Me "Walter, it is too early in the morning to talk rubbish, so what do you want calling at this time? You are normally asleep until 10 o"clock!"

Walter "I could not sleep, I was waiting to tell you what I have DISCOVERED"

Me "Will you get on with it and tell me so I can go do something useful?"

Walter, laughing, "Ha ha ha. You doing something useful? You only do things that annoy people" Anyway, IF a machine can be made to go back in time, it will disappear as it travels back to the time it was made. Because it did NOT exist then! You see, very simple logic! Now you can dream about hunting in the FUTURE, like next year. By the way, can I take my Blaser with me? Please, please, please"

Me "NO NO NO! Are you coming in the afternoon?"
Walter "Yes, and I am going to bring one of my future ex-friends. Because each time I bring anyone to your house to shoot the 577 T.Rex, they never want to talk to me again!"

More Champions!

And Another One!

Saeed, tell Walter he made my head hurt trying to follow his logic.... jorge

Quantum Mechanics according to Walter!

Walter = [Ralph Furley (Don Knotts) + Jesse Duke (Denver Pyle)]2

Saeed lets test Walter ask him how do you get a blond pregnant?
everybody is welcome to answer?

Saaed,

Get that machine build and quickly. If Walter could go forward in time he would be able to be BBQ'ing all the time and skip dicating animals he is trying to shoot. Imagine that everytime you would see Walter was at the BBQ or on table eating where he will be usefull.

You could preplan BBQ's years ahead

I did get a beautiful blonde to marry me by telling her she was pregnant. She said, "Are you sure its mine?"

Walter is the personification of:

A chronosynclastic infundibulum



Despite that, he's a joy to be around. He gives it to Saeed as good as he gets it.

Don

Hey Saeed,

I will come and shoot the T Rex!!!! May be a good way to start 2008 with one heck of a bang!!! lol

Gerhard

Perhaps I don't understand.

Is he trying to tell you that travel back in time is possible to the creation of the machine?

Then I suggest he build it today. He can always come back and win this argument anytime in the future

God Bless Walter! It is sure good to see him thinking.............

When Gerhard comes to shoot the T-Rex PLEASE shoot video!!

Happy New Year!

You could place all the guys who have come to Saeed's home to shoot the T-Rex ONCE, in a room full of punch drunk prize fighters,after years of punishment, and you couldn't tell them apart!

I am a sucker for punishment. lol

Would love to take the beast for a ride.

Gerhard

Just watched a movie on the sci fi channel about going back in time to hunt a T Rex.

Of course, the time continuim got messed up and apes became a weird combination of ape/lizard that wrecked havoc on the present day.

And, following Walter's logic, time travel to the future is not possible either, or at least beyond the point you died. If you go in the future past that point you'd be dead and not be able to return.

you must explain to walter that he has to come up with a good receipe for BBQ'd Trex. that should keep him busy for days

Trying to follow walter's logic, I am convinced there IS no logic. Does he have a taste for those funny mushrooms?

Saeed Thanks for shareing this fun videos.

I can't find any videos of Saeed shooting the T-Rex. The Saeed who is listed didn't look like "our" Saeed? I think I hear him laughing in the background though!

Do most people upon firing this rifle drop it? I can't say with certainty, but I don't think I've ever "let go" of a rifle or shotgun, regardless of the recoil. Or is it pretty common, even among those who are used to heavy recoiling rifles to drop this particular rifle?

That particular rifle is dropped almost every time. It's even broken the door behind them a few times.

We select "the Champions" from amongs those who show the real effect of recoil.

For everyone you see drop the rifle, there are probably 9 who do not. It is not very funny when they fire it and smile. I find that very hard to laugh at.

The glass door behind the shooters has been broken 4 times, eventually we replaced it with unbreakable glass.

The stock has been broken once, the front sight keeps falling quite often.

People who regularly shoot rifles do not drop it. Only those who want to "have a go" get their egos clobbered.

Well, that makes sense. How about putting up a video of you shooting it...and Buzz Charlton?

That is an amazing rifle, which begs a question which requires no logic:

What is the free recoil of the T-Rex in foot pounds? As in comparison to a .460 Weatherby for instance. That I at least have some limited experience with.

Those are great videos, but I must say I cringe and shift in my seat every time I see that rifle hit the ground. The sound is like nails on a chalkboard! Such a shame for a rather pricey piece of hardware!

Even still, the gentleman in the first video didn't look like he stood a chance because the T-Rex puts out more recoil energy than he probably weighs!
