Thanks Sam. We just plugged the computer back in an hour ago. The storms have passed for now but more is in the forecast for later today.

Good morning and thank you CholeraJoe.

I got to see the ball turret on the B-17 at the museum when I visited SAM in Oregon. What a sight that plane is!

She had a long career.

Were our Armored Cruiser designs the same idea behind the British Battle Cruisers and the German Pocket Battleships?

Outrun what it can't outgun and outgun what it can't outrun.

The design wasn't that successful. (Look at Jutland and the Graf Spee)

I guess I'd have to use 55 gallon drums instead of coke cans, though...

LOL!

Thank you SAM. Good Morning.

Now that is what I'd like to have parked out in front of my home! I'd love to fire one but I hear it cost a small fortune if you can find a range that rents them. :(

IMHO, one of the main reasons it has never been replaced.

Yep, the "Mother of all machine guns"!

Perfect for Home Protection

I like that idea. Also a cure for road rage.

Good morning everyone!

Hmm... I think I need one of those on my vehicle,
although I would need the "computer balanced/controlled Tank version", especially after last weekend.

If anyone would like to see what I did last weekend,

Morning Glory Snip and Sam~

That's one hell of a diversified gun. I remember the pics from "Operation Iraqi Freedom" when our soldiers on entering Baghdad opened up on an approaching SUV. Just shredded it. I want one.

Good move, lighting and electronics don't play well together!

Hope you have a great OK day!
