Most Olympic sports are derivatives of military arts.

Like what else?
BBall? Soccer? Badminton? Ping Pong?

How about trampoline?

Gotta climb enemy walls. You try and denigrate, but there is a history. It's all pretty martial.

I wasn't denigrating anything.

I happen to think that trampolining can be very athletic, and is in fact used in training for unrelated sports and in acrobatic-related sports as well.

However, since it has only been an Olympic sport since 2000, I doubt that it being martial has anything to do with it.

Okay. I agree and would add synchronized swimming. As an event added later. I agree trampoline is a pretty studly event and have known people, who were studs, that competed in the event at the college level.

But did they complete in synchronized trampoline?

Air rifles and Air soft guns are not the same thing at all. Comercially avaliable have the muzzle energy of a .22.
And according to one poster on here, though he denies it now, and air rifle and a AR-15 are the same technology.


You would be the only ignorant fool who would say such a thing...but then you have a long history of saying stupid things. What I said was that air is a gas. What I said was that bullets are expelled from a ar-15 by the action of gas pressure. What I said was that an air rifle expells its bullet by action of gas pressure.
Jesus you are phoquing stupid.

Hummm, Thompson, you're being a little hyper sensitive. Sorta like a girl. What you said is correct. But, what Bama said doesn't have anything to do with what you said. Ease off the meds.

, sorry, you are correct when I read it again. Of course all projectiles are expelled from a barrel with gas pressure. Whether developed from a bicycle pump or burning gun powder. My mistake.

That would be your igorant unsubstantiated opinion worth the price of used shit paper.

Your mom is sorta like a girl if you get my drift

That was my point.

Ease off the meds.

Before he said that air is gas he said that the air rifles of the 18th century were the same tech as the gas operated automatic rifle, then tried to back out with the crap he put in here. When I reposted where he made the original comment he and the otter both claimed that was the one who said it.
I wasn't going to name him and hold him up to ridicule but I guess he likes the attention. You are right, he is hyper sensitive. That is why I only see his posts when someone responds to them.

Not so...some use spring pressure alone

While that is true, the tech of an air rifle, and that of a gas operated automatic rifle have little in common. It is kind of like saying that a pneumatic pile driver and a hammer are the same thing.

Really???how exactly were the projectils of the lewis&clark air rifle moved from the magazine to the firing chamber?
How are the projectils in a gas operated semi-auto moved from the magazine to the chamber?

You are the phoquing moron who says stupid shit like that and then claims it was someone else.

Bama, most of the time I'm in agreement with you. Not this time. The lewis and Clark air rifle was very similar to an AR, given the state of technology. Mechnical loading in each. A reservoir of ammo in each. An expellation, if that is a word, of projectiles in each by means of gas. One was compressed air. One is the gas produced by a nitrocellulose combustion.

A reservoir of ammo in each. An expellation, if that is a word, of projectiles in each by means of gas. One was compressed air. One is the gas produced by a nitrocellulose combustion.

While there were simularities in intent and result the tech was vastly different.
One was fired by a reservour of compresed air, with the release of that air "firing" the projectile. It produced a high rate of fire with fair results.
The gas operated automatic rifle on the other hand traps some of the expended gas from the explosion and uses it to both work the action and reduce recoil. At this point you are disagreeing with both me and Thompsonx's current position, he says that only an idiot would say the technology is the same. The Girardoni (Lewis and Clark gun) had virtually no moving parts and came from a different Tech background that the modern gas opperated firearm.
I have used the Lewis and Clark gun, the Ferguson Rifle and the Bleton rifle with a 20 round detachable magazine to demonstrat that while the founders didn't have modern weapons they were guite familiar with with firearms with a high rate of fire.

While an AR and an air-rifle both employ an expanding gas to accelerate their projectiles, it seems to me that the technologies involved, e.g., how the gas is generated, are very different.

I missed that event. So far, I've seen swimming, beach volleyball, and gymnastics.

I'm not usually a big sports fan, but I'm awed and moved by watching Olympians excel at something they've dedicated themselves to and worked so hard to attain.

The gymnastics actually did make my jaw drop, and even the commentators shut up now and then. That's when you know something's impressive!

I don't think they showed it.
