Knowing how bad American torpedoes were for most of the war, those torpedo bomber pilots had some massive balls - not just to fly the missions they did, but knowing there was a very good chance that the torpedo they were going to drop wouldn't even work.

It took the US some time to recover from that huge sucker punch we received at Pearl Harbor and be technologically up to par with Imperial Japan and the Third Reich. Prior to Pearl Harbor, we had been WAY behind Japan and Germany technologically. At one point both of the Axis giants were enriching uranium fuel for future weapon development while we were still just carrying out university experiments with fissionables. The Mitsubishi Zero had been the apex fighter craft for a few years until we shot one down over Alaska in 1943 with great difficulty. That Zero crashed into the snow and was relatively undamaged, the US pilot managing to get a great lead on the enemy plane and hit it with a burst that mainly shredded the cockpit and Swiss-cheesing the occupant. From that one Zero, Northrop-Grumman reverse engineered the thing and produced the F6F Hellcat which surpassed the Zero in speed and maneuverability. From 1943 onward it was a direct straight line uphill climb for us. All of the top secret Tier 1 tech agencies like the Skunk Works and JPL, the holy of holies throughout the intense moments of the Cold War right up to this day, started during this time whose original missions were to capture and reverse engineer Axis tech.

Going to have to start paying attention and asking more questions here to the "my Nightforce isn't tracking" posts etc...

That sucks, but caveat emptor when you find a 'hell of a deal'. In the era of the internet, everyone knows what they have and want top dollar. Exceptions should be scrutinized.

Not as long as we keep giving them money to breed

Even a caveman can put two and two together to see what's up. While you are looking at this, go check out the prevailing wind patterns over these areas during growing and harvest seasons and figure the rest out.

Other countries' agents routinely vanish or suffer fatal 'accidents' in Chinese custody. Don't we have a hantavirus vaccine that needs to be tested? Could save a lot of lives of farmers and ranchers who live in the western states where hantavirus carrying rodents are present. We have two subjects now.

Certainly wasn't trying to be too hash but damn the terminology can vary alot...Getting hung up on that is just silly.

POS Scotus justices refused to hear the MD case. So the 4th Circuit ban stands.

Which is BS because Roberts even said that the ruling was sketchy because so many folks own them and they are in common use. But the liberal justices along with Roberts and Kavanaugh and Barrett sided with the communists to shoot down hearing the appeal.

This is total BS...

Need to use the Autopen scandal to remove the POS that Biden appointed and get another hard core 2A person in. Of course, that's what we should have had with Kavanaugh and Barrett. But turns out they must have dirt on them or they are fake conservatives...

What a shitshow.

Improper annealing of the case with maybe an over priming/double priming issue.

People forget priming mix is adjusted for the powder blend being used in a lot of ammunition with rimfire. So it's a variable as well.

The huge evil impact of those fakes is very real though.
