About 98% of firearm “experts” on X don’t have a single post on their timeline of them even holding a gun much less actually shooting one. Put up or shut up. This is the internet. No one believes you. All talk and no action from them is boring as fuck.
@ihatesuperjoe@Mrgunsngear Yeah, so did I and I’ve served alongside a lot of awesome Sailors that were amazing at their jobs that looked like soup sandwiches.
I served with a guy named Harold Vickers on USS Nicholas FFG 47. We made Chief together. Parted ways and lost comms then four years later on my way home from my last deployment on USS Portland LSD 37 we stopped off in Rota Spain for onload and by pure chance I ran into Harold at the liquor store on base. We partied all night and had a good time. Then we parted ways and lost contact again. Three years later I was retired from the Navy and working for Lockheed Martin and was in Yokosuka Japan doing training with the Japanese Navy when who should I just happen to run in to at the Exchange? You got it, Harold Vickers. It was crazy. We partied and parted ways and lost touch. Two years later I was in Singapore at the Sembawang Navy Base doing training with the Singapore Navy and guess what? Yeah. I ran in to Harold Vickers at the base club. So, by pure luck, coincidence, circumstance, whatever, I ran in to Harold Vickers in three different countries in three different years by pure chance.
Yeah, I was joking. Never seen reversed BC numbers like that. And understand the physics. And the barrel twist requirements. Love the idea of tungsten though. When I was in the Navy they changed the 20mm CIWS bullets from depleted uranium to tungsten because tungsten was the only thing that could hang with depleted uranium for armor piercing ability against inbound antiship cruise missiles.
