What'd they do, open one of the torpedo tubes to release the air inside it?

TooMuchAbstraction posted:What'd they do, open one of the torpedo tubes to release the air inside it? it's called a water slug; essentially an empty torpedo shot. torpedo tubes use a complicated mechanism of compressed air and valves to push a torpedo and water in the tube out at great force while balancing the pressure differentials. if the torp is left out of the equation, the same force is applied to a "slug" of water which exits the tube as a horizontal column.

Got it, thanks for the explanation!

No, water slugs are smaller than this. The water is being expelled by the caterpillar drive switching to reverse.

Between this, the T-72s drifting into lampposts and ditches, and Mi-8s buzzing highways like they're fixing to decapitate some zombie hordes, I'm convinced that Russia allows its people to pop by their friendly neighborhood base and take any piece of hardware they fancy for a spin

LUBE UP YOUR BUTT posted:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3WAMhZwdvnc I know there's a rumor that a lot of the helicopter pilots bring/use their automotive GPS to guide them, so wouldn't surprise me if following the road is so the GPS stays happy. Back in my C-130 days, it was pretty common for the Pilots to bring a little handheld hiking GPS unit in case the ancient GPS onboard went on the fritz. Used to find them left in the window all the time had to go return them to the crew shack. CommieGIR fucked around with this message at 16:27 on Dec 21, 2020 |

Would even a dud not deform massively on impact? I mean, the things are essentially hollow shaped charges that aren't designed to penetrate anything but go boom upon hitting anything?

PookBear posted:'drawing enemy fire' isn't a real thing Maybe not exactly the same thing but I did a few "advance to contact" movements in Afghanistan advancing in extended line (with hidden fire support) across open ground until the opposition opened up. It was extremely stressful. Radical 90s Wizard posted:It's still a pointy bit of metal travelling at absurdly high speed. think of like, wood in a tornado or whatever Yeah the amount of energy even of small arms is pretty amazing. I remember doing my first CALFEX and seeing how GPMG rounds just go straight through trees, and suddenly re-evaluating what I thought of as cover.

Yea, deliberately getting instigating a contact at like, a platoon or company level is not the same thing as one moron in your section running off down a hill to get shot at for no good reason.
