You do re-enacting? I used to. I have a Colt Navy .44 and a Springfield 1864 musket.

Nice! I shoot a Lyman .36 Navy and have an additional Uberti .36 Navy, boxed, with all apurtenances. My rifle is the British two-band Parker Hale Enfield .577 minie-ball used at Balaclava. I also have original Snyder bayonets for same!! It has real rifling as opposed to most lesser re-enactment copies and I (at age 70) can hold my own )in competitions...but for my one rival a Sgt. who owns a three-band Parker-Hale with a longer barrel which, at 200 yards, gives a flatter flight advantage to the typical moonbeam arc trajectory of the hollow cannelured round. The ladder sight is not used below 300 yards.

too cute to paß up!

Maybe American citizens should be afraid of A-10s now that our military is "woke". :hmmm:

ONE STOP; NO SHOP (almost)

Show me the beef :yep:

Yes, please. What's going on with the Open Carry in Texas? I don't really watch the news anymore but I cruise over headlines occasionally and hear stuff other places.

I have not heard a single word the re Open Carry since the week it started. ( and when is it coming to California?:har: )

Submarines showed early in their existence that they could have an outsize impact in major wars.

They were so effective that major naval powers set out to build different kinds of submarines for different missions. The Japanese even attempted to create dedicated submarine aircraft carriers.

These radical submarine designs had wide appeal but ultimately had limited utility, especially cruiser submarines.

Designed in the inter-war period, these massive subs relied just as much on large guns and turrets as they did on torpedoes. Cruiser submarines trace their origin to two models of the Imperial German Navy during World War I: the Type 151 class, which had seven subs, and the Type 139 class, which had three.

Both types had torpedo tubes — two on the Type 151s, which had storage for 18 torpedoes, and six on the Type 139s, which could store 24 torpedoes — but their primary armament were two massive 5.9-inch deck guns normally fitted on surface warships, which were located in front of and behind the coning tower.

Their massive size and displacement — about 200 feet to 300 feet long and over 2,000 tons submerged — allowed them to sail much farther than smaller submarines and without assistance.

Type 151 and 139 boats operated in the waters off the Azores, Africa, and even the East Coast of the US, sinking dozens of ships. One Type-151 boat, U-156, became the first foreign warship to shell the continental US in 70 years when it fired on a Cape Cod town in July 1918.

From 1917 until the Armistice in November 1918 she was part of the U-Kreuzer Flotilla, and was responsible for 34 ships sunk (88,395 GRT) and 7 ships damaged (13,267 GRT and 1,025 tons). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SM_U-151

As an aside, I would like to play the HMS M1 in a sub sim game.
