Outdoor Recreation - August 2007

I went fishing last week at our local pier. I noticed the guy next to us had 5 hooks on his line. All 5 hooks were tied directly to his line with a weight at the bottom. What's the name of that setup or how can I set my line like that. (I didn't get a chance to ask him).
They were not the sabiki setup.
thanks in advance

I know this sounds like a stupid questions, but seriously. There has to be a reason why the "gangstas" shoot guns this way. We all know they use massive jam-o-matics such as Tec-9s, Cobray MAC-10s, and Hi-Points.

Is it because holding it sideways in a moving car will allow a more reliable feed from such crappy guns? Do they shoot in that manner because of the inaccuracy of those guns? Do they custom gunsmith their weapons (unlike the movies) to put the sights on the side of the slides? Does it give an advantage in point shooting?

It's a question that has baffled me for years, as I've always shot firearms that are reliable with proper technique while both feet are on the ground.

Another thing, in the movie "Behind Enemy Lines" I saw in one of the scenes where the soldiers shoot the civilians in the bombed-out store that one of the soldiers holds his AK-47 sideways, with the stock against his shoulder. Is there any advantage in using this technique?

Now that I've learned hunting in India is illegal can anyone recall any unusual hunts where people were protected?
Want to understand the problems possibly unique to India
where threats to human life have been addressed. Are there
odd stories or unusually brave animal experts?

The best one I have heard is, '' Gun control means using two hands!''

In other words, if I pointed a gun directly at something in front of me, such as a coin on a desk, and pulled the trigger, would the bullet hit the coin, or do I have to compensate for the kick and aim lower than where the coin is?

I mean, they classify a gun an assault weapon based solely on physical appearence. I could take a kenetucky long rifle, add a folding stock and a pistol grip and it's suddenly an assault rifle. Or I could do the same thing with a blunderbuss and its an assault weapon. Why does anyone use these definitions for anything, they're pointless and horribly flawed.

Rifles

Folding/telescoping stock
Protruding pistol grip
Bayonet mount
Threaded muzzle or flash suppressor
Grenade launcher
------------------------------------------
Pistols

Magazine outside grip
Threaded muzzle
Barrel shroud
Unloaded weight of 50 ounces or more
Semi-automatic version of a fully automatic weapon
---------------------------------------------------------
Shotguns

Folding/telescoping stock
Protruding pistol grip
Detachable magazine capacity
Fixed magazine capacity greater than 5 rounds

I personally have never tried climbing the mountain, but one of my friends wants to later this month.
She isn't really in shape, and hasn't done a lot of hiking.

So thank you!

Remember, it's Camels Hump in Northern Vermont, US.
Thanks.

I have a self defense Mossberg 500, cylinder bore, 18.5" barrel. I'd hate to buy a new shotgun just for my first season hunting, and a new barrel costs as much as a new .22, which I could just as easily use for squirrel hunting. With the right load, could I use this shotgun for squirrel hunting, or am I better off finding a longer barrel shotgun with interchangeable chokes?
