Mark Wahlberg fights a black man...

I really can't look at Mark Wahlberg any more and not see Andy Samberg talking to goats.  Anyway, Marky Mark Whalberg has a new movie coming out where Batman is his brother and he gets beat up by black people or something.  Watch the trailer:

DIY Silencer... Sorta

Did you ever see that movie Shooter with Mark Wahlberg?  In one scene he creates a makeshift suppressor on the end of a rifle with a water bottle.  He then fires the suppressed rifle whilst riding in a moving boat accurately engaging targets.  That being said, many have questioned the validity of accurately shooting from a moving boat the water bottle silencer.

 

The Sportsman's Guide offers a unique product called The Tipton Patch Catcher which attaches a bottle to the end of a barrel to aid in rifle cleaning.  Cough, cough, wink, wink.  I have to sediments about this product.  First, does anyone really have problems with patches falling on the ground?  Buy a damn bore snake and you'll have no problems.  Second, I see visions of redneck injuries by not properly conducting makeshift rifle silencers. Not to mention a homemade silencer/suppressor is a felony.

So you're still wondering, despite Mark Wahlberg and red necks, do the bottle silencers work?  Yes, sort of... As you can see in the above video, a felony is being committed a water bottle does work.  What the water bottle is doing is slowing the bullet down; to achieve even more "silence" subsonic bullets are needed.   

Don't be stupid kids, felonies are bad.  If you get caught with a DIY suppressor you'll be in deep crap.

Entourage is Back!

Let's face the facts here; HBO makes damn entertaining television.  I've yet to find an HBO series that I didn't enjoy.  Along with most males in the 18 - 35 year old demographic, I really enjoy Entourage.  After the long wait the season is back this Sunday chock full of celebrity cameos and although Mark Wahlberg will actually be in this season he will not be talking to animals.
