That's kind of hard to put in relative terms. They're pretty flexible but get them at the wrong angle and they crunch pretty easy.

The skin is creepily easy to pull off a dead rabbit though. Which is good because the meat kind of... sours pretty quick.

I remember when I was doing cadet survival training at USAFA, our instructor made a hand puppet out of the rabbit skin and made it talk.

"You're so mean! Why did you kill me?"

hahaha horses you think they haven't eaten all the horses

why use animals when you have tiny malnourished men

millions of them.

Real talk: I read an account from some dude on the forums who visited North Korea a few years back, he said the only animals he saw were oxen being used for work. Not even any stray birds or poo poo, presumably they'd all been eaten.

The Army tried jets once.

It didn't go that great, it crashed twice. At least it killed less people than their nuclear reactor.

Nukechat and rocketchat combine forces!

Back in the 70s, the US put together a pretty decent ABM system. It had two parts; the exoatmospheric interceptor, Spartan, could reach altitude over 500 km and had a 5 megaton W71 warhead. It was the sane member of the family.

Sprint was Spartan's little brother.
The W66 warhead on Sprint was a neutron bomb (everyone's favorite); intended to kill incoming warheads through ridiculous neutron flux. As it was designed to engage incoming warheads well within the atmosphere (wiki says 1500-30000m), Sprint needed very good acceleration and speed.

They also tested HiBEX, which could accelerate at 400gs and would have intercepted warheads at very low altitude;

quote:

HIBEX was designed for low level intercept of entry vehicles below 3 km altitude within 2 seconds of launch. Hibex' neutron-generating warhead would disable the fissile core of the incoming enemy re-entry vehicle. It would also kill all living things within a 5 km radius of detonation.

Apparently Iran considered selling their Tomcats to Canada after the revolution (due to lack of spare parts). Canadian Super Tomcats would have been pretty sick.

Also would've been interesting if the RAF got land-based Tomcats instead of the Tornado ADV.

They also tried midair retrieval for the D-21 film canisters, never got it to work properly (then again, there were only two attempts that actually got as far as ejecting the film).
