    Here’s another.. A navy program developed to substitute the use of human divers in certain AO’s. The tasks performed by these substitutes included: locating and marking enemy mines, rescuing divers, protecting ports and harbors from enemy divers, search and destroy, etc. What was the...

    Dumb question, would the NATO rounds be better for reloading?

    308 FGMM sale

    Perfect timing; I was starting to get a little low. I noticed they’ve started using a new design on their boxes for the FGMM; maybe they’re just unloading all the old box designs? Thanks for the heads up!

    Maggie’s Maritime History

    Well, in my neck of the woods, there was a confederate blockade runner(Arcadia) that ran aground just a few feet off the beach( Galveston) on her maiden voyage. The ship was located by Union warships, and eventually sunk(1865). The smoke stacks were still visible on a low tide a hundred...

    100 yard practice work for ELR

    I think Ruger is coming out with a .22 rpr; that would be the perfect Trainer for you to keep familiarity with your platform, and also give you some practice on wind calls for a hundred yard range. Maybe consider getting a scope with the same eye relief and ring height to keep it as close as...

    Movie Theater Did I change or is Hollywood just not making any watchable movies anymore?

    Nowadays, new directors just piggy back the original ideas of creative artists, and just film remakes, or take the name of a series and turn it into crap.( haven’t seen the new Star Wars, but the newest Indiana Jones was...not great) There are plenty of good books (both fiction and...

    Maggie’s Military Jeopardy

    Just watched a documentary about operation tidal wave last night. I have to say, the stories of WWII bomber crews are some of the most crazy/courageous I have ever heard, God bless ‘em. During the bombing run, one of the liberators had realized they where off course and turned around to get...

    Amazing! Horses( and other hoofed animals)have truly remained mans best friend throughout the history of human conflict; come to think of it, I can’t remember a major war where these domesticated creatures haven’t been utilized; even on the modern battlefield.

    Maggie’s Military Jeopardy

    I want to say the Messerschmitt Me262 was not fully developed until the latter part of the war; too late to have any real significant impact. Having seen them fly along side allied aircraft in a mock WWII battle, the differences where, let’s just say, enough to change the tide of air...

    I’ve really been enjoying scrolling down this thread and playing along. Lots of interesting facts, and I’ve learned a lot so far; just thought I’d include a link for anyone who does what I do, and digs a little deeper into the answers origins/history.
