As this happened in SA, it's more likely that these "machine guns" were firing 5.45mm M79 or 5.45mm MPTs. Going to the trouble and expense of manufacturing a system in 5.7mm seems a waste of time when an AK-74 is easily purchased on the black market. There is also the cost of ammunition. Elite and American Eagle make…

I don't have a problem with this. The donator has no rights regarding a piece unless it was stipulated at the time of donation. As for the tax break issue, the intent is for donations to be available for the public to view, but if the proceeds of the sale are used by the foundation appropriately, then the intent of…

Personally I'm in favor of frying. Nearly anything is best crispy and golden.

Nope. Dirigible is from Diriger in French which means directable, so while any airship is a dirigible, they must be manned and powered

Actually, they are barrage balloons intended to dissuade aircraft from flying too low. Some were equipped with explosives designed to detonate when an aircraft contacted them.

The Mirage GR8 is one of my favorites. It won the 1975 race with Jacky Ickx at the wheel and wore the Gulf color scheme well.

The dampening problem may have been magnified by uneven tire wear, either differing levels of traction or imbalance of the wheel itself due to a flat spot or other issue. That definitely doesn't look like traction control to me.

Try using real lump hardwood charcoal sometime. You can find it at most grocery stores now and if you look harder you will be able to find it in specific woods like hickory and mesquite. If the pieces don't look like pieces of wood, then don't light them.

1)I don't have a dolphin, I completed NROTC, but I chose not to commission. My brother-in-law serves on an Ohio though.

I believe that START II only restricted ICBMs with MIRVs. SLBMs were still allowed to utilize MIRVs.

I was under the impression that the Russians only had 3 Borei completed. Are they planning to deploy the Borei as they are finished?

1)Our SSBNs do avoid "their" part of the world, it's kind of their purpose.

The population dose being referred to here is the cumulative dose the entire Kuwaiti population will receive while the DU retains any radioactivity. The statement you quote simply says that that dose has the potential to cause 10 deaths from cancer. No one person will ever receive anywhere near a high enough dose to…

I flipped on the TV at 10:30 and to my surprise the race recap was on. What I think happened is this: NBCSN was planning to show the recap at 10:00, when the race was delayed because of the red flag, NBCSN decided to show the recap immediately after the race finished. Instead of continuing with normal coverage as they…

I see your sedan and raise you a DS Coupe.

The Saab Turbo X was created to commemorate 30 years of turbocharged Saabs. Only Saab would decide to build a special car for such an odd milestone.
