“Col. “Bat” Guano was using one!”

I asume you mean a Krummlauf. I think it’s fitted so you have to shoot holding the weapon on it’s side, I believe the attachment fits so that it’s barrel bends toward the ground when held as a normal gun.

I’ll have to watch “Dr. Strangelove”, it’s probably the only Kubrick film I haven’t yet seen!

My mistake...he was carrying a carbine! But great scene anyway!

Dr. Strangelove is in my top 5!. You haven’t seen it? It’s awesome.

It find it interesting that some conservatives (or pro-military) people have a distaste for the movie.

It is satire! Pure satire. Of course, they poke fun at the process of nuclear deterrence.

I Love the movie unabashedly. I love the opening scene where they show, as an intro, a B-52 and a KC-135 doing their thing (a snickeringly disguised sexual overtone to ‘sneak’ past the censors) to a nice, orchestral version of “Try a Little Tenderness”! The contrast alone is humorous!

I love the ending, with nuclear bomb explosions prominent, to the music of Vera Lynn’s “We’ll Meet Again”!

Different time...different place!
