User:PhantomTrain

Hellow all peoples of this world!!! I am PhantomTrain (not my real name). I like weapons. I will be updating this website occasionally, but I'm a busy person so don't expect a lot. Feel free to say anything you want about me on a talk page as soon as one is up and ready. Like I said, that may be a while.

PhantomTrain Bio

Who I Am

As I said above, I go by the alias PhantomTrain. Theres a story behind that but I'll get into that later. Right now all you need to know is that I am a user of IMFDB. I live in a small town in the Midwest region of the United States of America. There are millions of people in that region, so I could be any one of them. You may know me, you may not. But I can narrow that search down juuuust a little: I have a computer and an interest in weapons. Thank you doctor obvious. The main reason I'm being so generic in my description of myself is because I think its kinda funny, and also because I am slightly paranoid. This will all be explained eventually but no time soon. Personalitywise the best way to describe me is strange. I have a weird sense of humor that really comes out when you get to know me well. I can be very mature and even sweet when I want to be, but usually people describe me as sarcastic. My favorite TV show is The X-Files, and I collect the seasons of that awesome show on DVD. I love banana clips, for several reasons: They hold more bullets, they look cool on a weapon, and also because I just love bananas.

The Story of PhantomTrain

Near the town where I live there is a railroad tracks. It is located north of the house I live in. It has been out of service for several years, even before I moved to said town. But sometimes, at the randomest moments possible, I will here a train whistle from the north. The closest functional railroad line is to the south of my house, so it can't be that one obviously. The only explanation we can think of is a PhantomTrain. Someday I will find the truth because The Truth is Out There.

Personal Weapon Preferences

These are weapons that I think are cool and possibly want to own someday. Please note that this is subject to change.

My Brief Weapon History

I havent handled a lot of weapons myself, although I hope to use a lot more in the future. Weapons are a favorite thing of mine. Someday I may join a branch of the Military and get more experience there, but I know enough to use weapons. The weapons I have used include a Russian Mosin-Nagant rifle, a Remington .380 Scoped rifle, a semiauto only AK-47 rifle, and several .22 rifles of various make and model.

Assault Rifles

I always thought the M16 was a slick weapon. As you probably guessed, I have never fired one myself, but my dad used to tell me stories about his Marine days which included details of M16s. But since I havent shot one myself, I'll shut up about them now.

AK-47s are okay weapons, but not great in my opinion. (There are probably a million people who instantly hate me now.) They are reliable, no doubt, but they still aren't perfect. For one thing, they fire the 7.62x39mm cartridge. I am a 5.56 fan all the way. The 5.56 bullet is superior in my opinion, since it usually has a greater range, tubles when it hits flesh and creates a massive flesh wound, and is generally more common and easier to find. Also, AKs have a tendancy to get really hot quickly. I shot a semiauto version and held on to only the wooden part, and still it burned my hand. Maybe I'll get an AMD-65 or something similar, with a forward handgrip. And finally, I am an American, and waaaay to many of our enemies in combat (Vietnamese, Somalians, and the Taliban, to name a few) use AK-style weapons for me to want one of my own. Its caused to many American deaths. I have nothing against these people at all, its just some psychological quirk I have.

Handguns

I am slightly embarassed to say this: I haven't actually shot a handgun myself before. Many rifles, but no pistols. I've pretty much figured out how to operate them from watching my neibor shoot a Ruger, but I dont have personal experience. Nontheless, I do have some preferences when it comes to them. I would prefer a .45 pistol, just because I would. I cant really explain it. Ideally, it would be a Ruger KP90 or a Taurus PT945. They just look cool. Dont judge.

Pages That I Have Worked On

Just had to take the time to brag about what I have done for IMFDB. Always remember: Ask not what IMFDB can do for you, ask what YOU can do for IMFDB! The list will grow as I do more and more.
