AIR SOFT GUNS - Which is more high-performing and durable in the long run?
I've just been introduced to the Air Soft gun hobby. I haven't bought a unit yet, but before I do, I would like an opinion. I don't necessarily join competition or airsoft gun club, its more of personal target practice. I prefer a full metal case. Do I need the Laser, Red Dot scope, front grip, motorized magazine, and all the bling bling that can be attached to the gun? My preferred model is an M4 with Quad rail.
4 AnswersHunting1 decade agoWhy was Oil explored prior to its first discovery?
Most search can reveal history of oil exploration, the dates, the countries, etc. What I really want to know is why oil was explored on the first place prior to the first discovery? What was its uses then prior to invention of petrol-fed machineries like automobiles? For sure, automobiles wouldn't have been invented without gas first being discovered.

2 AnswersRail1 decade agoHow many manned moon landing was made since the Apollo 11 in 1969?
I read from various sources that after the Apollo 11 moonwalk, several other similar missions (both U.S and then USSR) took place. But it was not newsworthy anymore that it wasn't announced. In this regard also, why would China be interested in a moonwalk, is there anything else to discover?
6 AnswersAstronomy & Space1 decade agoDo I need a 'Crossover" in a Videoke set-up?
I am a Videoke Hobbyist and recently got a home set-up. I wanted to improve the sound quality (and to brag) that I have the better sound system in our neighborhood. So I'm still on a look-up to improve my videoke set-up and wants to add some more 'bling-blings'.
I have a TJ Platinum Player (w/ built-in 50,000 songs in a hard disk) and a Sakura Amplifier + Mixer + Equalizer rolled into one (4-Channel rated 1,400 Watts per channel + 9-band Equalizer +16 effects). These complements my 2X Wharfedale 15" Speakers.
In most home set-ups as well as the videoke coin-operated machine usually found in arcades, my set-up would have been an envy enough to make others drool, like a Mercedez against Toyota.
Yet I know my system is far from being a professional set-up, but I don't want to go through that. All I want to know is, if I add a crossover, is it really necessary...and more importantly, will it improve my system as applied to live videoke application (2nd application is as MP3 playback and Home system)?
2 AnswersHome Theater1 decade agoAny possibility I may develop immunity if always take Erythromycin as drug of choice in treating tonsilitis?
Since I was a kid (now I'm 46), I have this chronic tonsilitis that breaks out at an average of 3 times a year. The most successful treatment always came from Erythromycin, that every time I get afflicted, I took the drug as routinely prescribed (500mg 3X a day for 1 week). The last bout was only last week and I'm OK again. Do I risk developing an immunity, which may become a problem if I have to switch because I am sensitive to other types of anti-biotics?
