Global Hawks are enormous. Like 130 foot wingspan. There's also no reason in hell there'd be one parked in Canada unless it's being demo'd for purchase, which I don't think is happening.

Stealing from the Airpower/Cold War thread, the most movie-like footage filmed by ISIS in the fighting:

Mildly NSFW. There's no gore, but it's very close combat.

Bit off topic, but tomorrow GQ UK is publishing an extract from James Harkin's new book which is on Caro, 6 pages in all. It's a good account of what he got up to in Libya, his mental health, and he failed efforts to enter Syria, which resulted in him being last seen in a Syrian torture centre. GIP even gets mentioned.

There's a smaller second one that is visible at 1:50ish. I don't know if it is WP or smoke agent.

Chlorine gas is a pretty distinct yellow. It's pretty much dead on to be nitrogen dioxide, which is plenty poisonous all by itself. In all probability though it's probably just darker colored clay soil dust that convected its way to the outside of the dust cloud because it was closer to the bomb and thus hotter/faster moving.

It's bullshit to say "the military ruined my body so that's why I'm fat!" No, Larry, you're fat because your ruined body keeps you from exercising and you eat too many calories. Eat less and you won't be fat.

Those are mitigating factors, not loving excuses. If you want to lose weight, you'll lose it. If it's too inconvenient or you don't actually care that much and you would rather have another slice of cheesecake, you'll keep packing the pounds on.

Until you're dissatisfied with your current lot in life, stop telling yourself convenient lies, and manage to actually find and get a firm grasp on your balls, you'll stay fat.

They didn't have Shermans all over the place. My grandfather always talked about making GBS threads on tankers because they cruised around on the roads and poo poo while he was walking rear end in a top hat deep in snow up some hill.

quote:

During the Apr battle the need for a second MG was felt, as angry little men climbed on the top of the tks and beat on the hatches with fists and rifle butts. One answer was to charge through a mud house, but this was NOT thought to be the real answer, as it increased the shortage of houses already made obvious by zealous gunners. It was thought further that it was better to stop people getting on in the first place. Therefore .30 BROWNINGS were obtained, rumour has it at high cost (in gin), and mounted on the comds cupola. This has a dual advantage in that it solved the problem of the angry little men, and also prevented crew comds from being garrotted by signallers, with their customary homicidal tendencies towards tk men. The fury of the R. Sigs knew NO bounds as their now harmless tight wire traps were time and again swept serenely aside by the advancing tanks. Personally I cherished NO animosity towards the Sigs and contented myself with merely immobilising 3/4 of Seouls tram car service by laying claim, vi et armis, to some 200 yds of overhead wire, which I took with me for some four blocks. Fortunately for me someone preceding me had touched the same wire and blown the fuze, or I might have got summary justice. It was hanging low anyway.

You have no way of knowing whether one or two of them might've been fighting on the Western Front or Italy.

Serious answer: mil and LE only. Anything made after 1986 can't be registered with the NFA. Explosives are a Destructive Device and already have tons more restrictions on them. Like the fact that if you DID own a pre-86 grenade launcher not only do you have to jump through all the paperwork and background check hoops to own the launcher, you have to register each individual round as well. Hope you like spending several hundred dollars per round to get your kicks off. Not to mention not all states allow NFA fun toys. There's a reason NFA fun stuff is super expensive and only retired doctors, lawyers, and your grandpa who pilfered all that nazi gold during the war can afford it. High demand and a finite supply of any of that stuff makes for a bitch of a price tag.

Somebody correct me if I'm wrong, I haven't 'd out about guns in forever.

so this is apparently the sticking point


now i am an idiot but that looks to me like it says your poi will shift up to 4 moa if you take the sight from -40 to 122, which sounds like an insane thing that i will never have to worry about
