Now imagine if we would of had 10MM back then
Holes would be smaller.
the caption makes it seem like the 45 made those pocks, likely 20mm or other artillery
My gap bed Le blonde has about a 30ish inch swing with the bad extended out. How big is a railroad Tire?

Those were 5” destroyer rounds. When things were starting to get really messy on Omaha Beach, a couple of destroyer captains completely disobeyed orders and risked tearing the bottoms out of their ships in order to get in close and get their guns on target. Some of them were just 2 to 300 yards from the beach and couldn’t miss. It helped tip the balance.
If I remember right one cruiser captain actually flooded one whole side of his ship, allowing his guns to depress enough to hit the beaches.
That said if someone wants to say it’s a 45, who am I to argue.

Rode it like you stole it…. ‘Cept Homey don’t know how to ride!
FMJ .45 expands immediately upon exiting the bore and creates holes as large as one inch.
Made the top of Pike’s peak today! 14k+
Twin carbs didn’t miss a beat, despite being tuned and jetted at 600 feet!
Cheers!!

After .45 creates the path.
I think you guys are all missing the point, none of them penetrated
New they are 28” and change diameter, condemning limit is 26”. In that pic the 4 shiny steel hydraulic rollers lift the train axles up a few inches on the flange and turn the tires. Then a tungsten bit is raised and located to each individual tire. The cut is started on the outside and traces a pattern automatically so the cuts are always the same. Then the rollers are repositioned onto the flat so the flange can be cut. This machine is really old and very very dangerous if you don’t pay absolute attention
That Arctic Circle sticker is cool as shit
That was obviously before holla points were perfected
I was thinking the same thing, I remember that guy. Had a friend who took off the crest the same day but headed east and landed in edgewood....Heard about the other guy the next day.

That was the Battle Ship Texas that flooded her off side ballasts in order to get more elevation on her guns and stay in the fight.
Battleship Texas flooded the starboard side in order to gain elevation to hit inland targets…
Edit: looks like Rookie best me to it. Note to self, read the whole thread before replying…
Has To be fake news.. if the Manhattan Project involved 10mm’s they could never have kept it a secret! Everyone would have been blabbing about it!

the damn Krauts could pour concrete though. I've been in the bunkers at Longues-sur-mer, France. Crazy stuff
Got it in Norway 2012. Still 300+-miles to go to get to Nordkapp. Northernmost point in The world that you can ride or drive to! Way North of Deadhorse, Alaska!!

PS. Today’s ride before Pikes Peak was awesome. Met up with @Starbuck amd ran about 180 miles of Colorado canyons at really respectable speeds for adventure bikes! That boy can ride!!
Overall, spectacular day of riding!

I scored a free bandsaw 
a little work and she’ll be back in the fight.
a little work and she’ll be back in the fight.Scored 2 new BFG MTs, previously spares on Rubicons for the 4Runner. Have leads on 2 more 
same size as I run now. If it works out I will have less than $200 in a set.

For as long as I can remember my Mom would buy picture frames and leave the picture of the family that came in them in there. She liked the frame itself, there were strangers all over our house
So not only can the storm troopers not hit anything, they can't install toilet paper correctly either.
If you get a chance take a spin through the San Juans from Durango to Ouray. IMHO the most beautiful part of CO.
Not a bad view for breakfast!
Cheyenne Mountain. Deep inside, they track Santa!!
Sirhr
PS. Just when you think the view can’t get any better the Thunderbirds start flying over getting ready for the Air Force Academy graduation tomorrow. If it doesn’t thunder and pour rain, I’ll be sitting on the deck at a retired Colonel’s House watching them front row while smoking cigars!!
