We should start a gun thread....

Denis · January 30, 2015, 07:00:06 PM

...just because they come up often enough in the middle of a bass thread.

Pilgrim · January 30, 2015, 10:35:18 PM

This kind of gun?

Denis · January 31, 2015, 05:20:15 AM

Haha, that's a hard one to beat!

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 guess it's like fast sports cars with big hoods...

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

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?!

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!!!

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'm all for a Gunne thread.

Gun love = Love Gun
