Found the submarine crew…

I found stacked pebbles in the middle of creeks during my hikes in the past. After just one round out of my Colt 1851 Navy .36 ranging from 10 to 40 yards away, those stacks were not really visible anymore. YAWN. BORING. I was looking for random staircases in the woods like described in those creepypastas read by AWESOME youtube storyteller DrCreepen. Not pebble stacks.

It certainly does appear to be in the south-central side of the ocean... I hear it gets a little ghetto over there.
Holy crap!!!
This thread is on fire tonite. Like we all will be. When we are burning in hell!!!
Wowza!

"I can't breathe"..............too soon.........
Craig-Jorgensen?
Apparently spelled by Millenials with editing software and no idea what they are doing.
Craig... Yes, I hear he is very hip, hangs out at Starbucks and looks like a Civil War veteran and drinks White Claw. With his Krag-Jorgensen. Which probably isn't his. He just borrowed it to protect his symmetrical rock-stacking expidition from mean bears.

You know what is really funny? My hipster GF loves to decorate shelves with little vases containing bundles of sticks and they do not look out of place at all with my Uberti Model 1865 Spencer .45 LC carbine sitting right behind them. Even her hipster friends coming over all love seeing the rifle there and they are not antis, they just never grew up around guns but they love the way the big Spencer looks sitting there among the more modern hipster knickknacks and trinkets.
The Krag......I just have to sorry.
I have two I will save the photos for the vintage thread, but a couple things about them. First smokeless rifle for the US. Huge dust up on it being a non American design, lots of suits....personally I think this is a HUGE reason behind its early withdraw. There was a "speed loader" for them, worked just fine.
The "smooth" came from just two locking lugs. They are not real strong rifles. If you have one check headspace. After the spanish american war they tried to "up the power" and the rifle could just not take it....you know because 2000fps with a 180 is just not enough for a ground squirrel or something.
Single loading, I would think if I was being shot at would be a bit of a chore, for a range toy no big deal. I have one very nice example as well as a 7mm mauser, there is no doubt the Mauser is the better rifle, but the Krag is not the horrid rifle everyone thinks it is.

FOUND: Oceangate submersible located by sonar near Titanic wreck

The crabs will feast tonight. It comes as no surprise that a submersible owned and operated by an idiot who said safety is not one of his primary concerns crushed at depth. To bad he took others with him.
Ironic to realize that with our current technology and understanding of material physics, we've pretty much got hands down on space exploration but only got a tiny footing in submarine exploration. The pressure differences in space: 1/2-1 atmosphere (pressure) inside versus 0 atmosphere outside. If a crack or leak happens and they often do on the ISS and other prolonged orbital missions, they can be repaired along the way with various cutting edge expanding foams and sealants. It is only propellant and engine tech that is really keeping us from going farther out. Under the ocean however? 1 atmosphere inside versus 400-600 atmospheres of water outside. One pinprick anywhere on the vessel, and it is over. Even at the bottom of a regular swimming pool, there is enough water pressure that should the drain open and an unfortunate person was caught in the outflow current, they would be squeezed into unrecognizable paste and strained right through the drain. Absolutely terrifying to even comprehend.
Now think about this. On the Jovian moon Europa, there are oceans roughly 6-12 times DEEPER than the Marianas Trench of the Pacific Ocean. At Europan depths, the water pressure is so high that conventional fluid mechanics begin to behave strangely. The water there is under so much extreme pressure that it starts to take on properties of superconducting solids even while still maintaining a liquid form and that is what scientists are thinking is responsible for creating Europa's magnetic field, which is surprisingly strong for a planet as small as it is.
