What is a "COTS" 5.56 mm round? I have seen this used and tried to find out what this means without success.

How about DRT? I've seen that around and I can't seem to figure it out...

Context? One possibility is "Dead Right There". |

That would make sense. Talking about (I work with LEOs but I'm not one myself) SWAT warrant entries and the department rangemaster mentioned one of the officers seeing a suspect raising a shotgun into firing position and blasting him with his M-4. "And that guy was DRT" was the line he used.
So I think "Dead right there" would be a pretty safe guess. Thanks |

Why does the AR discussions page show this file/thread on fire? It looks to still be active.

The animated fire icon means that a thread has many posts. You might say something is "hot" or "on fire" if it has a lot of activity associated with it. |

is humor okay? All this acronym and shorthand reminded me of an old joke:
A guy goes to prison and on his first night after lights out, he hears another convict yell out "32!", and the whole cell block erupts in laughter. He hears another yell out "91!", and again, laughter. He asks his cellmate, "What's up with the numbers and laughing?". His cellmate replies, "We've all been in here so long that we know all the jokes by heart. It just saves time to give 'em a number and yell it out." The convict thinks, "I'll try it," and yells out "27!"; utter silence in the block. "What's the deal?', he asks his cell mate. "You told it wrong." |

I've been seeing this term used a lot on the EE and was racking my brain over it. I think I may have found it, so you business types please correct me if I'm wrong:

If by "idiot" you mean "subscribing to the Nazi ideals of the master Aryan race and genocide in support of those ideals", then you are correct. In some ways, your definition gets the point across in a very succinct manner. |

I know this probably one I should know, and I feel stupid for asking, but what does AO stand for? I see it used a lot, but I don't see it listed here.

Thanks for the contributions, Glock_10mm
What is the context? All I could come up with is "moderate bluish green" or "multiplayer online browser game", neither of which seem to have anything to do with AR15s.
I ask you also, what is the context? It might be "area of operations" or "aviation ordnanceman" or "adults only" or "acronym overload" (  ) or any number of other meanings. |

I usually see it used to describe a place so I'm betting that where I'm seeing it, it's probably intended to mean "Area of Operations". Thanks. |

56K refers to 56K dial-up internet access. If a thread has lots of pictures or some really large pictures, it will take quite a while to load for those still using dial-up internet. So, 56K friendly/Not 56K friendly is just a heads-up for those using dial-up about whether or not that particular thread will take a long time to load. |

Apologize if I skipped over it but what does:
BCG mean? LBE stand for? Thanks. |
|
|
|
|
Posted: 10/20/2006 3:36:17 PM
Well in my own experience BCG stood for Birth Control Glasses. They are the eye-glasses the military issues.
LBE = Load bearing equipment |
|
|
|
|
Posted: 10/20/2006 3:47:30 PM
BCG = Bolt Carrier Group. I thought for sure that was in the list, but it isn't.  I'll have to add it.  LBE = Load Bearing Equipment - the vests and such that soldiers use to carry their load:  |

I thought I might see an "Oh snap!" as the context.  That is not an acronym. It is just a catch phrase. Look here for more information. |

DIL- Direct Impingement Luddite
LW used this term to describe DI supporters (Luddite means one who opposes technological progress: from Nedd Ludd the English laborer who destroyed weaving machinery around 1779 because he thought the machinery would cause unemployment). |

What does FUDD mean?
|
|
|
|
|
Posted: 3/5/2007 3:18:43 PM
A Fudd is a self-interested hunter who wrongly believes that the 2nd Amendment applies only to hunting firearms and who would gladly sacrifice all other firearms owners to the gun grabbers in an (ultimately vain) effort to protect his bolt-action deer rifle or double-barreled shotgun. "Fudd" is a term of derision and should not be recklessly applied to all hunters as a group. While some hunters are Fudds and deserve our scorn if they cannot be educated to change their viewpoint, there are also many hunters who fully appreciate the true meaning of, and rights guaranteed by, the 2nd Amendment. These hunters are not Fudds, but rather our compatriots in the fight to protect the 2nd. "Fudd" is not an acronym. It derives from the name of the clueless hunter character Elmer Fudd of Looney Tunes cartoon fame. |
