@Guysloveguns Appears to be a Chinese Type 1130 CIWS, which supposedly fires around 10k rounds/min or 166/sec. It fired for about three seconds, so I'm guessing around 500 rounds.
@BradRTorgersen I wonder how much of the .40's popularity came from the '94 mag ban. When limited to 10 rounds in an era were subcompact guns were not yet common, I could see taking a Glock 23 over a Glock 19 because they're the same size, but you only "gave up" 3 rounds in .40 versus 5 for 9mm.
@reason Long ago cartographers would often put fabricated places on their maps to see if competitors were copying their data. If your competitors' map included your fake island or nonexistent town or whatnot, you knew they were copying. I wonder if this island was intentionally fake.
@baldassarreted I was in the market for a two-hand tank, and I looked at the Cartier Tank Must, but I decided to buy the Seiko. Great watch. I really wish Grand Seiko would make a modern non-round watch.
@cindylpc@colin_dunlap Yes. Under 8 U.S. Code § 1324a, it is illegal to hire an illegal alien, and fines are "not less than $250 and not more than $2,000 for each unauthorized alien."
@SallyMayweather While I think Bezos' tourist rocket is a stupid carnival ride for the rich, the New Shepherd booster is fueled by liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen, so it only produces water vapor as an exhaust. No CO2 involved.
@rodelizaldeg@Grummz I've been a sumo fan for years. Grok is 100% correct. Traditionally, women weren't even allowed to touch the dohyō, much less wrestle. A female sumo wrestler would be every bit as ahistorical as a female Pope. It's a job that has always expressly excluded women.
@Grummz I've been a fan of sumo for years. While amateur women's sumo does exist now, that's a very recent invention. There is zero chance that a woman in that era would have been a sumo wrestler. Traditionally, women were not allowed to even *touch* the sumo ring.
@firearmblog I think the headings in the article are wrong. The first gun pictured is a Model 36 (not 26). The second gun is the Model 10 Classic, and the third is the Model 19.
