I saw 2 cans of LC 30-06 belted AP ammo at a gun show today.......275 rounds per can @ $600.00 per can.............at least it's AP..............
.......

those are some bad mother fuckers right there
Pretty sure that's a Bell H-13 medivac chopper. Korean war era.
Good Lord, when I was building Rods, I "maybe" did a wrap that was 10 percent of the size of that. It was a tremendous amount of work.
You did a beautiful job and you should be very, very proud of your accomplishment
True but there appears to be a machine gun mounted on there.
Well that's one way to break the ice.
150+ year old tech that’s utterly reliable and ultra resistant to neglect. If I’m grabbing one pistol it’s probably my 226, but I’d just as quickly grab the 357.
OOF! Missed that, thought it was the stretcher mount.
Had someone walk up to me the other day while I was drinking a pop and ask me how I remove my straws foreskin when I get a pop in the drive through.
I told him that I pound it on my leg to scrunch it down, grab the tube in my teeth and rrriiippp the fore skin off, stick my tube in the hole and then suck suck suck.
After hearing my response the pastor fainted.

I kinda thought that was an MG on the frame above the skid & I bet there is one on the other side too. If I was going to be evac'ed I would be fine with hot empty brass falling on me while I was strapped to the skid. The guy had a lot of baggage in there too.
It's not just the shoes, but the woman wearing them...

You foot fetish people are weirdos
Have a close friend that was in the First Cavalry Division ( AIRMOBILE) in Nam .
One of the first to go into Cambodia. He has pictures of his outfit riding on the skids that look exactly like the picture shown. He was a badass before he went to Vietnam, came back even more Dinky Dau. He is in my tight little cluster of friends , want him on my side.
Okay, but it’s gonna hurt.
Holy shit that would have been an incredible April Fools prank. Got me heading to Google with a full WTF expression for a few seconds...
INNOVATION: Guy builds a totally steampunk Fallout/Bioshock style gas operated auto ejection system for 1873 SAA revolver.
Back in 2007 or so on THR, somebody did something similar with a Ruger Old Army black powder revolver but the gas system actually blew the hammer back to full cock as well. Also a very steampunk-y looking apparatus and there was a reason why he ONLY used it on the Ruger Old Army and warned others not to do it with any cartridge revolvers: That thing was full auto if you held the trigger firmly down. As soon as the first shot was fired, the gas system actuated cocking sustained firing and cycling at a rate of fire that sounded a lot like the World War II Japanese Type-92 heavy machine gun until the cylinder emptied. Doing the same feat with a modern revolver would be a legal nope...

Kinda neat, but just to auto eject the cases? Seems like a lot of nerd work for not much cheddar.
BT,DT. Bastogne, Veghel, A Shau Valley, 1968.
But the guy who impressed me, on day, was a S-4 guy standing on top of a Conex, trying to lift a 4 point harness over his head, to the belly hook of a Chinook hovering overhead.
And Medivac Pilots. They’d chew their way into a way-to-small LZ, hold station anywhere from a foot or two to several yards above us and lower a host (jungle penetrator) or basket, and never move while we loaded them and signal to lift. Taking fire, and holding it together until our wounded were aboard. Amazing.
Standing on the ground, watching holes appear in the chin bubble was, well, I can’t describe the feeling.
I’m going to do this now. I have no resistance to the temptation and am left with no option.
This. Pretty cool as an experiment to show how gas operation systems work. The rig he has set up there can do a lot more than just eject cases and I bet every ATF field office computer operator within a 50 mile region perked up with temporary elation when they saw that video before sinking back into their Cheetos stained seats with groans, just like they probably did with the full auto Ruger Old Army guy's thread as well. The Ruger guy built his rig as an educational tool for his local gun ranges to showcase to kids how modern firearms system worked and it was only demonstrated around 3 times as he said that the blowback put a lot of wear and tear on the lockwork...
If you do the hot leg before doing the ground leg first it won't shock you. Promise.
Video please.
^ The fact that I don't have to pick up brass at all is worth it.
Judging by the tube sight, it's the same guy who was on some of the forums years ago trying to convince us it was a good idea. lol Same type of guy who comes up with products you see online all the time and think "Why though?" You see it for sale and think "interesting idea, but did you really think that would sell? You admire their ingenuity. Admire their thinking outside the box, and how they stuck to it for years to see their dream realized and finally get produced.INNOVATION: Guy builds a totally steampunk Fallout/Bioshock style gas operated auto ejection system for 1873 SAA revolver.
You also feel bad for them, knowing their dream is dying on the vine, that all their time, effort and possibly life savings are gone. You also think.. are you an idiot?
That's also the reason you don't want to shoot single action revolvers with a partially loaded cylinder, higher pressure big boomers in particular. Even without the contraption, with the right (wrong) combination of things you can get enough pressure back through that chamber to bend the loading gate.
