a few rounds into the hull of your boat might make that sniper rifle hard to use!
Who said I was planning on using from my boat?

Anyhow if you are referring to me and what goes on in my head I hang out at a lot of "survivalist" forums and these dudes are huge into "the revolution" and end of days stuff, I was merely pointing out a "bullet point" in one of the arguments I got into with them regarding the .223 round that's all. I was trying to say that I am in no way preparing for any "revolution" I am stocking up on supplies and I am preparing to protect said supplies that is all. I guess i was trying to bring a little humor into the conversation , but apparently it did not stick. That's ok I'll continue to be the crazy guy with a years worth of food, 7 years worth of garden seeds, etc, etc... I can live with that 
the big question is who will be able to live without it

223 FMJ is just meant to wound anyway
I have mostly HP FMJ's. 55 to 75 grain. Then a couple thousand of non hp's that i picked up super cheap.

For the record, i sold everything, no ammo, no guns, no food, no seeds, no gold, no cash NOTHING, I had a total change of heart and decided to sell all that stuff and buy into Citibank, Freddie Mac, Bank or America and I've got a guy named Madeoff or Madoff something like that handling my money, the guy told me he's jewish and he knows all about money so I feel good about it.

Dude I figured you'd need a stash of weapons to sail the high seas alone on your own floating house, you can't just S.O.S when ******** are going to board and expect the coast guard to be at your ship in minutes...try ****** days. By then they could come to a boat full of corpses. Having the ability to fire a couple warning shots at an approaching vessel from a mile away has its advantages. Go bigger go better
