Nattering Nabobs

So standard campfire bull sessions often sound like gun shop bull sessions at times.

"You could use a LAWS rocket to bust into that zombie bunker"

"Pff, the army doesn't even use LAWS anymore."

"Naw, I've seen em on the news"

"That was a new thing... can't think of the name...  Not a Dragon.  That was the replacement for the
LAWS that was bigger that they also don't use anymore.  Something from Norway.  Maybe Denmark."

"The Javelin?"

"Naw that's a pop up job.  Not for straight on hits"

"Not the TOW"

"Naw..."

"Why don't we just do RPGs?  Works great for the commies, still"

"But if one of those gets shot with a bullet you go up like a Roman candle"

"Carl something?"

"Yeah"

"Carl Gustav!"

"That's it!"

"But that's Sweden."

"Right right"

"Still, it's a old design.  Like we went full circle, back to the original bazooka, almost"

"Still should use the LAWS"

"Oh hush"

"But it's so light and easy!"

And so on. Keep in mind I am the only person with any military experience.  And what little of that there is was in the Navy as an officer.  I was lucky to put my hands on a pistol.  Never shouldering anything larger.  Like a rocket.

Howdy Folks

Been away for a while and I STILL don't have the blog fodder.  Bit of a rut.

Lessee... since I been gone I've gotten tanned and tired.  Growing old sucks.  But brown as a nut. Your metabolism is no help like it was, and you run out of gas sooner.  I don't think I could take my little brother.  Much less a bad guy.  Not hand to hand.  And if I held my own somehow my stamina would soon fail me.  More argument for letting Citizens be armed, per the Constitution, to defend themselves.


But that means even some of these idiot around here would be armed as well!  I wouldn't trust some of these people locked overnight in a padded room, nekkid, with 2 bowling balls.  Much less a gun.  The next morning one bowling ball would be broken and the other missing.  Probably turn up later, pregnant.


That's the thing with rights.  Even the idjits have them, and that's well and proper. 
But fer criminy, stop playing with your firearm.  Please.  And, if it's not too much trouble, it'd be nice if you tried to get better with it. 


Of course, all these things, apply to me.  Plenty of folks would consider ME the idjit, in mixed company.  But at least a self-aware one.

I need to try this corn dodger recipe.


Slate, yes, I know!   But it looks simple, and that appeals.

New Range Bag

This has been my range bag of late.

Lockable.  Plenty of room for the essentials.  If I shoot something with bigger bullets I take out the gun rug and carry is separate.  I can fit a buncha mags and a box of ammo in it then, easy,  But this has been .22 of late.

Much more convenient than the big gym bag looking thing.  Simple. But no stapler or first aid kid or tools or what not.  Or more than one gun.

It's a plastic ammo can, if you can't tell.

Spy!

You know, the way jewelry salesmen, do. He was in the import export bidness

And 25 years later... GITMO!

WWII Gitmo

Steely eyed

Missile man.

Youtube

Youtube likes to recommend anti-American videos to me, for some reason.  Example:  A video where the Zero wins over the Mustang.  F.  U.

This if for you.

Nike

I grew up in the shadow of a Nike base.  The missiles were removed in the early 70s.

Hustle

I've kinda liked this model since I saw Fail Safe as a kid.



Yikes, you don't see this ejection scheme much anymore. Nice helmet, too.

Look, It's B-1 Bob Dornan!

This is the longest

Trailer for a Porno I have ever seen.

Get in the van with the fella, Linda...



And drat that inflation.

With that streamlining

Those 1936 models really cut through the air.

And more Chevy

Jingle bells Jingle bells Jingle all the way Oh what fun it is to ride in T-Bolts Chevrolet.

I love this stuff.

Old B&W informational, like you might have seen when there was a substitute teacher. Plus: Machines!

If you see this

A BIG ol shockwave coming at you...



Put your fingers in your ears and open your mouth. 

Big Guns

So much violence in such a tight space.



The ballet of movement to get these cannons running is just amazing to me.

BB61 Class. You know what those are? The four Battleship we kept and used into the 1990s. Iowa, New Jersey, Missouri, Wisconson. Yes, you know em.

Restricted!

Kill or BE Killed!

Nukular

I liked this one for the theme music.

Stay Safe

Careful, this is classified material.
