I love this thing so much. Like that has to be a completely custom 'lower' for that turret?

Yes, it's like a lava lamp.

Maybe not. I doubt they have the whole autoloader etc down there, so my guess would be it's just ammo storage and a reinforced platform to give it something semi-stable. Oh, and a place for the gunner's legs. If they're loading and firing by hand it could be a pretty basic setup.

My neighbour has spent all day today welding metal, uhh, stuff onto his car right in the street in front of my (rented) house. I feel like that's not okay? Am in Britain if it matters.

Am in Britain if it matters. Is your concern that he's running a welder or that he is building KilldozerUK? If it's the first, then there is nothing to worry about. If it is the second, then thanks to the cost of petrol, his rampage wouldn't last more than 10mins.

Even if its badly tacking small bits onto things that's still more welding expertise than the op has at the moment and welding is cool.

They just need a reinforced box to support the weight of the turret, maybe shove in the mechanical bits to allow it to traverse a bit, and for the dudes to stand/store the ammo.

I’d honestly be surprised if the traverse works. Given yhe nature of the setup I figure it’s more like adjust elevation with the gun and windage with the truck itself.

Your theory makes sense if it is used for indirect fire, which I think it must be because how the gently caress would you use that thing for direct fire?

a kitten posted:During the construction of the Mount Washington Cog Railway (ok this isn't exactly the same as a funicular, but w/e) in the 1860's rather than hike back down at the end of their shifts the workers would instead affix a homemade contraption called the Devil's Shingle to the center rail and ride the 3.5 miles down at speeds up to 60 mph. (This guy says expert but he's going pretty slow, my brother and I when we were kids would bank those turns so hard you'd almost fly out.) I'm way back in this thread, there is a very osha version of this you can still ride today called an alpine slide. This one has been in Vermont since my mom was a kid. It's made out of kinda rough fiberglassy material, which will burn the poo poo out of you if you touch it while moving, or get ejected. The carts are little fiber glass things with a pole, you push it forward onto 2 rollerblade wheels, and pull it back to slow down on a little carpet pad break. My mom said she flew out when she was a teenager and covered her entire back with a burn, much like carpet burn. OSHA #3 is you ride right under the ski lifts with people right above you. I had some kids try and spit on me, I can only imagine if you drop a water bottle, or something with some weight, at certain points you're about 30 feet above the track.

A lot of the improvised weapons and fighting vehicles in the Middle East are seemingly of the "because why not?" variety. They don't actually have any real drive to make an accurate weapon of war as much as they have a bunch of guns and vehicle parts that kinda work and would be better put on a truck than leaving sitting in a pile. Whoever's shooting it may very well have no more training with it than some basic practice with one or two rounds because they don't have a ton of ammo. Same reason you'll see a rebel get a machine gun and use it by just walking out into the street dumping it from the hip. They have nowhere near enough experience or training to know that they're uselessly dumping ammo. They just know "I have a machine gun and imma shoot it!"

Whoever's shooting it may very well have no more training with it than some basic practice with one or two rounds because they don't have a ton of ammo. Enfilade, defilade, the beaten area, and interlocking fire aren't concepts they're familiar with so you get a dude dumping a whole belt of ammo on one trigger pull for no actual observed effect. It's a fun ride until "poo poo I'm empty AND have to run with this thing back to cover with no covering fire and it's heavy and gently caress"

Tafferling posted:He must have absurdly thick skin if that doesn't even cause a single droplet of blood. Not necessarily. This is a 2nd degree burn, and burns rarely have bleeding I think it's due to the cauterization of any vasculature in the immediate area from the heat source, but I'm just a paramedic, I don't know 100% if this is correct.

[quote="Pokey Araya" post="496898894"] I'm way back in this thread, there is a very osha version of this you can still ride today called an alpine slide.

I had some kids try and spit on me, I can only imagine if you drop a water bottle, or something with some weight, at certain points you're about 30 feet above the track./quote] can confirm, as a child i was hospitalized because my dad thought brakes were for pussies. if he or the cart had landed on me i probably would have required a cast or two, as it was i just had abrasion wounds covering most of my face and torso, which they didn't bandage for some reason, so i just oozed and scabbed for weeks afterwards. this was in kindergarten. my popularity did not recover.

If a bunch of dudes with AKs and LMGs are giving you a hard time from an office building and you have tank-truck, you can gently caress them up pretty well. Wouldn’t want to be in the same neighborhood as a proper AT weapon or even an RPG but for loving up the sniper nest two blocks down it will work just fine.

I'm trying to decide which is the worst: the guy welding on a scuba tank or that dude that's about to lose a finger from the electrical burn. I'm gonna go with the finger, that pic has to be pretty close to when it happened cause that whole finger is going to slough off.
