Attention New Members and those new registering!
We had a lot of problems with spammers and bot attacks with the stock measures provided by the software. The 7 for registration was a fix that we came up with on our own that has worked quite well. Yes it is a PIA for both you and administration to put you onto your chosen username.
If you come back on and your login does not work retry with your username without the 7.
Thanks for joining us from the administration.

Below is a picture of a Smith & Wesson Model 76 submachinegun. These were originally designed for use by US special operations forces, but were not made in sufficient quantity to be used in the war very much before it was over. Most of the production of the Model 76 was sold to US police departments. I was at an indoor gun range a couple of years ago, and a fellow shooter was peppering away with one.

Although federal law allows private citizens to own full-automatic weapons under specified conditions, Washington state law prohibits residents from owning them. Dealers and manufacturers may get a state license to have them, however.
