Guns? What are you, some kind of 2nd amendment loving patriot? Careful Dennis, that puts you at the top of the DOJ's extremist list along with veterans, survivalists and the tea party.

I have noticed that regardless of how any quasi-firearm or military thread begins, it ends up with Panzers. And artwork of aryan women, clad in minimal amounts of leather. So I thought I'd move things along....
Not that I disapprove of the visuals.

kinda like argosy magazines and others from the fifties. i think that is where the sexy nazi woman thing started.

OK, so I see the Panzer picture at what point will you be posting the latter? :)

Don't worry, Uwe or Mark will surely provide that element soon....unless we get into WWII bombers, fighters or related stuff first.

I'm all for Gun threads, nice that they belatedly get a mention here!

I also like Gun Mk II which changed its moniker to Baker Gurvitz Wehrmacht Army
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vIbZFLEgsbE
Though with a name and hairdos like theirs, the Gurvitz brothers would have most likely failed the Aryan test (as I would have too).
As regards that behemoth railway cannon, Ken, that was a giant failure. It was only used once (shelling the Sevastopol Fortress) and not one of its shells hit the target. A waste of (already constrained) resources and then subsequently mothballed. A lot of the so-called Wunderwaffen were sheer crap, unworkable in practice. Regular artillery defeated Sevastopol in the end after a heroic fight of its defendants.
"... must be the increasing attempts to impress uve with all this German culture love. Reminds me of school kids sucking up to the popular guy."
Nofi, you ole sourpuss, you must be joking!!! Increasing attempts?! :rolleyes: Much to my chagrin, neither body fluids of mine nor I were ever sucked up at school, not by my male and not by my female co-students (among which sexy Nazi-women were deplorably non-existent, I would have otherwise offered free conversion services!). I was the odd, low pc-kid kid with the quick lip and scathing sarcasm who liked Deep Purple, Status Quo, Kiss, Ramones and Sweet when everyone else liked Genesis, Pink Floyd, Yes, ELP, Jethro Tull and Supertramp. And was regarded as too right by the lefties and too left by the righties.
And I sure do hope that you don't seriously equate a Tiger tank/Panzer VI with German culture!!! :mrgreen: The tank, btw, was a hasty attempt (beset with design and production problems) to regain lost tank superiority at the Ostfront after the T-34 had played havoc on the Panzer III and IV. But I can't help it if US aircraft carriers looked better than US tanks!!!

I have all four of their albums on CD. They never amounted to much in Europe, any review would mention the Spirit connection by the second sentence at the latest.

i have lots of guns but i really don't care for them anymore. have not been shooting in decades.

I've been busy doing other stuff, just getting back into target shooting now. It ain't cheap. If I keep it up I'll have to break out my progressive reloading press. Just another of the 30+ hobbies I seem to rotate between.
-
Dad did a lot of shooting back in '44, mostly with a Bren... moving targets, so I believe... some of them shot back...

Uwe, the vinyl LP buff, only has Jumpin' The Gunne on CD? That album art needs to be viewed full size for proper effect!
Warning: NSFW Jumpin' The Gunne (http://www.mihamazzini.com/EN/plosce/files/gunne0.html)

I'm not really a vinyl buff. As a bassist you can't really be, because the bass frequencies are just more audible on a CD. When I heard the - not very well produced - early DP albums (pre-Gillan), I rubbed my ears in wonder at the bass drum patterns I was hearing from Ian Paice for the first time. I buy vinyl then and now, but I hardly ever play it. Plus I have a lot more rare stuff on CD now than on vinyl.
In the CD booklet (it's an Australian double CD of all their four studio albums, decently remastered), the tasteful cover you mention has a whole apologetic page devoted to it. :) In hindsight, all band members regret it and no one wants to be responsible. :mrgreen:

Speaking of vinyl, Neil Young blasts vinyl resurgence as “a fashion statement” (http://consequenceofsound.net/2015/02/neil-young-blasts-vinyl-resurgence-as-a-fashion-statement/)
Gosh, do you think there might possibly be some connection between his negative view of vinyl and the unmerciful blasting of his expensive Pono music player by critics?
-
i think the whole vinyl come back thing was bogus. sure music companies stopped making new vinyl, but business at used record stores remained brisk as ever. now they are reissuing everything under the sun on 180 gram vinyl at very hefty prices. this must be the fashion statement vinyl young was speaking of. :P
-
Give me CDs any day. I was a DJ long enough to know exactly how fragile and space-consuming LPs are. I don't hear any sonic penalty on CDs, and their durability and lifetime vastly exceed that of vinyl.
-
It is a fashion thing (my 20 year old son collects vinyl now because he deems CDs uncool) no doubt, also nostalgia and, frankly, vinyl does feel more organic than those cold lifeless silver discs. But I haven't heard a convincing statement yet that vinyl delivers bass frequencies better than a CD and to me that is a key point when listening to music. Plus the longevity, I have 25 year old CDs that have been played countless times, have become discolored over time, yet they still work. When I still had my vinyl collection, I tried everything on the planet to treat my records gently, but stuff that got played a lot still needed to be rebought after a few years. That said, now I buy remasters and remixes of the same stuff again and again, so nothing much has changed! :mrgreen:
-
I regret not being able to tell CDs nuts jokes as often.
Back to guns, I think Kiss must have ripped off Albert King for the Love Gun title.

Beauty. I love my S&W MP. I have several cop friends and they all have Glocks from work. Once they fire my S&W they want to trade! I do want a 1911 some day, just because.
As for hunting, many of my friends do and I get the benefit of some free venison once in awhile!

Beauty. I love my S&W MP. I have several cop friends and they all have Glocks from work. Once they fire my S&W they want to trade! I do want a 1911 some day, just because.
My Model 39 is the direct ancestor of the entire M&P line...it was the first of S&W's semi-auto duty weapons, made from 1954-1983. I had one in the early 80's when i was a reserve deputy. Sold it to a friend because Igot tired of policing up brass (I was doing a lot of reloading then) and he in turn sold it to my younger brother. I've been trying to buy it back from him for 20+ years but no luck, so I finally gave up and went after another.
Glocks are fine (German-built, how about that...?) firearms, but they're too plastic for my taste. I had a colt Combat commander in the 70's - it was a compact model of the 1911; i couldn't hit a darn thing with it. It was a lot of fun to shoot, but it would have benefited from some gunsmithing.
-
I thought Glock is Austrian, not German? It has been a while since I stopped my shooting hobby but I am quite sure my Glock 30 was made in Austria. I love the .45 ACP cartridge, not as snappy as the 9 mm, that is why I got a Glock 30 when I wanted a compact .45. My full size .45 was a Norinco 1911 with a Wilson trigger, hammer and sear. I used that gun and a Smith & Wesson 627 revolver for steel plate matches. The S&W was a Performance Center 8 shooter. Had to shoot it in the pistol class most of the time because in the revolver class you were only allowed to have 6 rounds in the chambers in most matches. A lovely revolver that used clips because there were no 8 shot speedloaders. So much easier to find your brass back too, pistols are messy things. ;)

You're right, it's Austrian. Just keep in mind that from this side of pond, it's all "forrin' parts."

Until your post the other day I'd never heard of this one. What a beauty! I looked around and found one locally for $400. Didn't get it but they seem to be great deals.
-
I've had this P1 for many years. They are still pretty inexpensive but they are terrific pistols, and while reading about the S&W Model 39, learned that the US Army was so impressed with the P38s and post war P1s they asked for bids for a replacement for the .45. S&W offered the Model 39.

US Army P38

Check its history. Best pointing firearm I've ever had. It was the first double-action semi-auto made in the US. The frame is alloy, so it's lighter than most full-size 9mm handguns. There were a very few steel frame 39's made, but I have never seen the need for one. I especially like the double action capability on the first round, followed by single action on all later rounds. No need to rack a slide or carry the gun "cocked and locked" status. If you can find a nice one for $400, it may be a nice buy. There were three models, with the main difference being the design of the ejection mechanism on the right side of the slide. Mine is a 39-2.
