When you're done with this project... consider the next one to be this:


Does this mean we can have real life Ravenwing squads?

Unless I'm missing a very large, hidden box magazine, that thing will run out of ammo in about 3 seconds (assuming those are Gatling guns and not something more modern).

It looks like the belt feeds loop into an ammo box at the bottom, with reload boxes on either side of the seat....

The only flaw is that the guns are on the body and not the handles. Meaning its much harder to aim.

If I'm going to do any automotive work involving firearms. I'll be restoring one of these beauties.

Heheh GF was helping me inspect ammo for my M1 Garand today and she commented on how large the .30-06 rounds were so I tossed her a .50 BMG casing from some where or another.

She: "What the heck is this thing for"
I: "Vehicles... people who's whole month you want to ruin, dinosaurs if they ever come back"
She: O_O "...did you say vehicles?"
I: "Yeah in machine gun or rifle format, depends on the circumstance"
She: O_O "I dunno what to think about that..."
I: "That it's awesome was the general consensus in my last unit, I'll hopefully be getting a rifle in that at some point, you can try it then"
She *stunned silence*

I really need to start keeping score during my rounds of "Shock the Sheltered European Girl"

Haha, I had similar experiences with some Danish girls I met a few years back, they were impressed just by .223 and 7.62x39mm, never having seen anything bigger than a 9mm pistol apparently. Then I pulled out my roommates 30 × 173 mm round (GAU-8 Avenger round from an A-10) and they nearly gak bricks hahaha.

Exalted. A lot of people will never learn of the aphrodisiac properties that firearms have for certain women.

I have a 105mm shell casing my granddad brought back from WW2. Cool as heck.

I can't imagine how heavy it would be if fully loaded.

My grandpa worked for the railroad in Germany. While they were doing work on the tracks they would often find unexplored bombs and ordinance. He had about 30 shells/casings/bombs/mortar rounds in his garage, and in not even certain they were all defused...

IIRC all you need to do to render a shell inert is to drill a small hole into the powder chamber and get all the powder out.
