I always know that a .50 cal machine gun = 12.7mm

Therefore, one inch is roughly 24.5mm. And so on.

I agree. We did miss the boat on that one. Doubt it will come back. Someone would turn it into a big political issue I’m sure.
You should be careful with a .45 WII pistols. You can't clear it with the clip in and then point it at your hand and pull the trigger. 2nd Lt did that and found out! 60 years later and we are still laughing at that but it wasn't real funny at the time.

When I got out of the army I went to a reserve unit. We went from really nice m9 pistols to ww2 era .45s. You could literally shake them and hear parts rattling!

Back in the early 60's we had them in the missile site. The Launch Officer and the tech in the launch control center. The idea was to keep one guy from launching the missiles but there were other safeguards built in. A couple guys had shoulder holsters for them. It made it easier to play cards which is what we did most of the time anyway.
 
My dad used to love WC Fields. For some reason, he would always tell me: “buzz off kid, you bother me…” and he said that in the WC Field voice 😂

Father of the year stuff, I know. But I miss the hell out of him.
There is a W.C. Field’s movie where a bratty ass kid is being a nuisance at the dinner table. Dunking WC’s pocket watch in the gravy bowl etc…

Everyone gets up to move to the parlor and it’s just WC and the brat. The brat stumbles and bends over and WC kicks him in the rear end!😂. Ad-libed as Fileds did often. The kid runs off crying.

The production company insisted they cut that scene out of the movie but WC fought like crazy to keep it in. I’m paraphrasing but he said something like “every man, at one point in his life, has wanted to kick a kid in the rear!” He won the tug of war and the scene stayed in.

So…I typed in “German Red Deer” for the MZ…this is what came up first😂

There is nothing like military boredom and figuring out how to pass time.
 
I had to Google the poem form that movie. So funny.

Woman...
woe-man...
whoah, man!

She was a thief,
you got to belief,
she stole my heart and my cat.

Betty,
Judy,
Josie and those hot Pussycats...
They make me horny,
Saturday morny
Girls of cartoo-ins
Won't leave me in ruins
I want to to be Betty's Barney.

Hey Jane... get me off this crazy thing... called love.
