[SI] Weapons are available for viewing, finally!
Apologies for the delay. The latest mandate for the Shoot-In, Weapons,
is available for viewing. Aim your browser here to see them: http://www.pbase.com/shootin/weapons Now we need someone out there to peruse the pictures and fire off some comments. And yes, targeted comments are best. OK, sorry... For more information about the Shoot-In, please read the rulz he http://www.pbase.com/shootin/rulzpage Next up, as you may have guessed, a couple of summer reruns. Or for those of you in the southern hemisphere, winter reruns. I'll have new mandates posted by Sunday. |

Agreed, nice shot and my favorite. As much as I hate to admit, that was probably the best of the lot and the A.T.F. comp was a clever presentation. Wonder if it would have been caught without the last frame logo? |

Or for those of you in the southern hemisphere, winter reruns. I'll have new mandates posted by Sunday. OK! OK! Let's see what we have here. Eric Stevens: Bofors Gun; one of the great dependable tools of WWII & beyond and still in use. Interestingly enough, the Swedes sold it to both sides in WWII. One of the benefits of neutrality I guess. The Swiss did the same with the Oerlikon, manufacturing their German designed guns and selling them to both sides. Puffer Fish; Nice to be able to wear your weapon :-) Disappearing gun; Nice. This type (from various different manufacturers) was found in coastal batteries from the late 1890's, were pretty much obsolete by WWI, but the US maintained them throughout the 1930's. They sure didn't help the US much in The Philippines in 1942. Yours Truly: 01; 1851 .36 cal Navy Colt, pseudo aged shot. 02; Forget about the belly, the holstered pistol is a Kimber CDP II .45 ACP. 03; M60 "Patton" training turret with 105mm gun. Tony Cooper: Grandfather's Knife; Nice knife, nice apple, good idea for the shot. Tachi; Historically & culturally interesting. The Shooters; I seem to remember this little group some time back. Anyway, they have handguns on their hips and shooting can be fun. If I recall correctly, there was Colt Lightning rifle you had in that batch of shots which I liked. Alan Browne: 01; Is she trying to tell you something? Interesting concept for the shot, but not exactly following the letter of most gun safety classes. ;-) Otter: Weapons; Nice bronze cannon, it looks like an M1857 "Napoleon" 12-pounder to me. Weapons 02: Caught them firing a salute? Shiv Das: ATV; I always liked the Sig P220. Paul Furman: Axe; Are you trying to tell us something of the quality of your musicianship? ;-) Tim Conway: Weapon; That looks like one of the 3-inch Ordnance Rifles at Gettysburg. Nice capture. Peter Newman: Reflection; Nice idea, and that looks like a P47D & an F4U showing in that shiny spinner. Tern; A turn for the worse? Anyway I wouldn't want to be attacked with that beak. Warbirds; OK! I understand, but what were you thinking. It is so, ....um, ...er, "graphic?" Bowser: USS Missouri; Now those are guns! A10; ...and that is a gun with a plane built around it. Wrapped by the plane creates the illusion of a much smaller gun than the reality of this illustration; http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi..._VW_Type_1.jpg Enola Gay: The B29 had a troubled development, but was able to make the delivery when it counted. Once more thanks to all who tried. -- Regards, Savageduck |

One of my favorite features of the A10 was the uranium "bathtub" under the pilot to protect him from ground fire. Enola Gay: The B29 had a troubled development, but was able to make the delivery when it counted. No question, that plane was troubled, but when you're at war, and need *something,* it'll do. Great looking plane, too. Once more thanks to all who tried. |

I think you mean titanium, not uranium. :-) The gun does fire depleted uranium projectiles, though. That may be what you were thinking of. |

He felt he would rather be dead than alive with those parts missing. (He was 21 at the time.) -- Peter |

One of my friends said that in Korea he and his fellow helicopter pilots routinely put one or more layers of sandbags over the floor of their vehicles. He said they did it in spite of orders that pointed out the extra RPMs required for the same performance would result in less gasoline mileage and shorter rebuild intervals. Fair trade, my view. -- Frank ess |
