I guess it's DIY time.
Just because non-corrosive primers were invented in the teens doesn't mean that they gained widespread acceptance. I have shot and have packages of surplus (US) .30-06 and .308 ammo with corrosive primers. It just means you have to clean the rifle each time it is used. My understanding is that the issue with ball vs stick in a humid jungle was that say 100 sticks burned more completely than say 1200 balls and the action was fouled by the residue from the unburned ball.
IDK, but Brian caused juniper berries to spring forth from the juniper bushes.
The original concept for the M14 replacement was the AR10, chambered in 7.62. But, Eugene Stoner realized that anything more powerful than was needed to take down a deer was overkill in an assault rifle, hence the AR15/M16. The Russians took a look at the M16 once they started getting their hands on them in Vietnam and said "Da, idea good, want one too" hence the AK74.
Whisky, if you're flying a taildragger. If you're flying a Cirrus, Zima might be more appropriate.
I think it's more down to engineering and manufacturing style. We tend to provide our military with the latest high tech toys, the Russians take a more brute force approach.
True. But I was thinking that from the latter days of WW2 the US has spent a considerable amount of time and effort to place surgical hospitals near the front lines, to speed the movement of casualties to treatment and to move them stateside once stabilized. Something the Soviets never had the capacity to undertake. Yet, it seems to me, the primary infantry weapon the US developed was designed assuming that the enemy had the same capabilities and intentions. A weapon following von Clausewitz's dictates, that would wound rather than kill outright, forcing the enemy to spend its forces on recovery and rehabilitation.
Yes, and was true for stick propellant. Not issuing cleaning kits makes as much sense as giving the enemy free beer so they don't work so hard.
According to a WWII b-17 pilot friend of my dad’s when I was growing up.. scotch. But that was under different circumstances.
During postflight debrief, Battle of Britain pilots were always offered a glass of whisky, if they desired, "to settle their nerves".
When is the season on that?
They didn't. You can set the snooze duration on your phone when you set the alarm.
24-7-365 in most metro areas.
That is probably why it jammed about every 10 rounds or so in basic training. We were probably using left over Vietnam ammunition. I think they even gave us a box to or two of C-rations.
Dogs have no snooze buttons.
So... we can say that she crossed the Karman line?Edit…ok, when I was in college I DID use a photo of Jayne Mansfield with Theodore von Karman in a presentation. Might’ve been this one…
???
So many places to go here, and none of them suitable.
