Did they shoot the 5 out of the guns up into the air at airplanes?

Overcompensate much, Lil’?

Wonder how many mouths could have been fed with those cost of those rounds? Five less, that’s for sure.

There’s a story from a Gulf War I documentary about a Abrams gunner that was in a hurry to take out a guy aiming an RPG at them, that he forgot to switch to the coax MG and hit the Iraqi in the chest with a 120mm round.

Whatever works. If somebody was aiming an RPG at me, I wouldn't have bothered to take the extra half second to switch either.

Flechettes.

I once read about the M50 Ontos, and its use of beehive rounds stuck in my mind.

Probably the 6x106mm recoilless configuration helped cement it, and thinking about how the poor loader fared under fire.

“One day he’s going to piss off the wrong General.”

This is what I’ve never understood. Take Stalin or Hitler as easy examples. Just simply walking up to them and shooting them seems easy. Now it might mean the death penalty, but it is doable with someone like Jack Ruby taking out Oswald - meaning Ruby was going to die anyway.

I think a good example of a general just doing what needs to be done is Egypt’s Sisi.

Oh please. Stalin most certainly was more savage than this. Stalin in fact employed actual torture. Like red hot poker in the ass torture.

I read somewhere a lot of the bolsheviks knew they had a problem when their politburo started dipping into Tsar Nicholas’s collection of torture devices that had been put into a museum.

I think they use the ZPU-4, a quad 14.5mm machine gun.

Stalin valued loyalty.

Stalin purged 20,000,000 prior to WWII, of which half died in labor camps. Almost 10% of the Command structure of the Military was purged. All the old Bolsheviks were put in show trials and executed.

So much for inspiring loyalty. Staling did not and could not stand anyone having a larger presence than him. Just look what he did to Georgi Zhukov, who beat the Germans and won the war for him.

One of the best war movies I’ve ever seen was “Brest Forest”. At the end of the movie we learn about the fates of the heroes of Brest Forest. The main character, Gavrilov, we learned served 10 years in prison after he was liberated from German captivity.

The woman and the child to the right of him look scared sh*tless, rightfully so most likely.

That was a typical response of Stalins towards any hero. He filled the gulags after WWII with returning service men.
