True enough but it just proves nothing is idiot proof.
Stress is cumulative and even a steady diet of saami pressure factory ammo will expose any design flaws sooner or later.
A steady diet of +p and it could be sooner rather than later.
My Dad's houskeeper is who taught me how to do it but on top of a gas burner. And she only coated the inside surface. Seems a much better idea to oil the entire pan and the bake it in the oven. I'll have to clean my oven out now of other cookware!
In a world of compromise, some don't. The worlds 1st production polymer pistol was the HK VP70.

When seasoning an iron skillet, I prefer shortening (Crisco) or lard. As per the pictures, put a baking sheet, or a piece of tinfoil, under the skillet to catch any grease that might drip off. I also prefer 300 degrees for a longer time. Maybe 3 hours or longer (overnight).
1990s video games called. They want their guns back
Get a real gun
Get it out the safe
I HAD a Polish Radom…..one of those “why did I give it up ? “ guns
Never jammed , fed everything , pretty accurate.
Speaking of perfection , haven’t had one of these crack yet
First Series Colt Woodsmans are works of art.
These are made from 1918- 1938.
Not enough time to get them all out of the safe on a regular basis. I usually shoot less than 50 handgun rounds a year anyway.
These are addictive. 25 yards 10 shots shoot for 90 or better I was never much of a pistol shooter.
One of my squad mates told me I was “a atrocious pistol shooter “
Of course first target was best target. I shoot best when IDGAF
25 mpg winds had to staple center of target
The only time I really enjoy shooting handguns is when I take my kids out shooting. My youngest daughter is deadly with my S&W 52. I got my son an AMT Hardballer Longslide that he loves to shoot.
I only have 3 handguns left on my bucket list, a S&W 952 long slide, a Sig P210 long slide or a Sig P240, but I am not going out of my way to look for them.
beautiful. not a great out but gets an A in courage!
somebody else that hates HG shooting! i did it competitively in my 20s. but now i avoid it with the usual excuse that i don't have time because i HAVE to shoot 4 rifles.

Someone say real gun? I got one real gun
I need to know more about this please enlighten me.
I'm getting ready to sight mine in next week.
The salt water might kill the vegetation.
Fire whirl seen last night over LA. Similar to dust devils, which are formed by convective heating of the air by sun baked surfaces over the course of a hot summer day, fire whirls are convection fueled rotating updrafts of intense heat that can reach F2-F3 strength in rare cases. This one was at least F2 intensity going by it's speed compared to scale of the scene.
I’m trying to remember my Fire Academy classes from the mid ‘90’s. IIRC sea water was strongly discouraged for any use except helicopter bucket drops. Unlike shipboard/pier systems, regular wildland and municipal fire pumps weren’t made (metallurgically) for the corrosive sea water. Some jurisdictions might have sea water rated units, but they cost a lot more.
Correct.
The bonus of putting out the fires with saltwater, no vegetation for fires next year.
Yup. I can imagine what salt water would do to a fire engine's inner pump works. Heck, when I dove in Salt water, we'd have to come out of it and rinse our gear like crazy as well as the wetsuits, etc.
I haven't dived in salt water in ages.
That beautiful pink aerial retardant will also cause damage to equipment if not washed off. This was in addition to the impact of being hit with the slurry being dropped from an aircraft traveling at 100 mph or better. Trust me that hurts when it happens.
For real ….i don’t know ?
If they don’t use salt water , is it because it spreads future rust and such through out the plane ?
We used salt water to fight fires on ship ….If the ship ran out of desalinated water to make steam for the catapults to launch aircraft , you stunk ! …. they even pumped salt water to the heads for “ salt water showers “ . They provided some sort of soap that didn’t lather or work

Until that drone put a stop to it, those Canadian sea planes were dropping 1500 gallons of sea water per drop on that fire, with a 10 minute turn-around.

I had a friend that was in EOD on my ship. During “no fresh water showers allowed “ time …. he had a deep sink in his shack with fresh water to rinse the salt from diving gear. He would run a couple of gallons in the sink and I took a bath

Salt water will kill vegetation. I don't know that is their excuse though. I was just trying to think of something that the California environmental department could come up with.For real ….i don’t know ?

You can't save people because you can kill the vegetation. But the fire is going to kill it? Yeah well, shut up and do as you are told. They run storm water back to the ocean and pipe in water from hundreds of miles away to use. Doesn't make sense but.... California.
And people wonder why the equipment costs so much. A pump and system designed to move a corrosive liquid vs. one for “fresh” water.For real ….i don’t know ?

I wonder what the price tag on that unit is. I would guess it’s well North of $1M
They started getting water out of the ocean as soon as they could get the aircraft back up. When you have 100 mph winds, you can’t fly and water drops would be useless. Strong winds are going to pick up again tonight and last until Wednesday so this is far from containment.
Did he towel you off afterwards?I had a friend that was in EOD on my ship. During “no fresh water showers allowed “ time …. he had a deep sink in his shack with fresh water to rinse the salt from diving gear. He would run a couple of gallons in the sink and I took a bath
