...They saw the light, all right - Now their gonna want air drops, winter rations, and....figure it out....more DONATED Khuks. They're not after Buns Laden, they're after our blades :eek:
 
...Of the little before seen shadowy leader of the Taliban taken through a special infra-red lens capable of penetrating raging sand storms on Afghanistan's barren surface...

"Only thing I noticed that the heat treat was not all the way to the tip and had an errant rock put a dimple about 1/4 inch from the tip. Otherwise, rest of blade did make occassional contact with rock as well without any noticeable deformation."Harry.

Harry, I thought that was the norm on khukuri heat treating?:confused: Don't they usually harden the sweet spot the hardest, and the tip and down towards the cho being much softer? Correct me if I'm wrong--it does happen every once in awhile;) :D

Blues,
Your pictures have scared me in the past, but THAT ONE!! Now THAT is truly scary:eek: :eek: :eek: Its no wonder the Taliban treats women badly, their leader only has eyes for young men:eek:;) :p
 
"That's how the blade is hardened alright but let's not get serious in this thread!!!"

Sorry:D I thought I made up for it with my taliban joke, but I'll watch my p's and q's more closely:o :p ;) :D

:barf: ;) :D

Now that I got that out of my system... We of the Northern Alliance are pleased to announce that Benny Laden and his underlings will be the half time entertainment during the shooting gallery portion of the upcoming SuperBowl...Sight lines are said to be excellent for everyone, but bazookas have been banned due to excessive blowback and a request from New Orleans civic officials that the audience doesn't blow the lid off the stadium. ;):D

Now back to research...

Harry;) :D
 
Just because Bazookas have been banned doesn't mean we can't drive an Abrams into the stadium!!!!:D
Doesn't mean it may be over powered and overkill, but who cares?:D

When my son was in the service at Camp Shelby Mississippi Barb and myself got to climb in and around one of these as well as the mobile Howitzer. Very, Very Impressive.
We also made some of the fuse caps where we both worked for some of the specialty ammo.:D:D:D:D
I would absolutely LOVE to go for a ride in one of these!!!!!!!

The Abrams M1A2 tank provides heavy armor superiority on the battlefield. It closes with and destroys enemy forces on the integrated battlefield using mobility, firepower, and shock effect. The 120mm main gun, combined with the powerful 1,500 hp turbine engine and special armor, make the Abrams tank particularly suitable for attacking or defending against large concentrations of heavy armor forces in a highly lethal battlefield. The M1A2 System Enhancement Program provides the Abrams tank the ability to use the Army. s common Command and Control software enabling rapid transfer of digital situational data and overlays. The Abrams foreign counterparts include France. s Leclerc, Germany. s Leopard 2, Israel. s Merkava Mk.3, Russia. s T-64, 72 & 80, and Britain. s Challenger 2.

Y'all got that right. Anywhere I want too!!!!:D

Bro needs one of these to take that squirrel out!!!!:p :rolleyes: ;)
 
The old folks would drop like flies if I took the squirrel out with that! And, I see I can't spell "any". But, what's new?
 
The arms race is back with a vengence!! Now with Yvsa sporting his new squirrel "gun" aka M1A2 Abrams, this is going to take some fancy Kentucky windage to blow the pesky tree rat off the goal posts in New Orleans without nicking them.;) :D
 
..from anyplace on the field :D I'll bet this will play merry hell with the prices for end-zone seats, though :eek:

Harry if you're gonna be shooting from way up in Canada I would recommend a Cruise Missile.
That way you could skin him with one of the fins on the way by and then whirl around and pick him up on the flip flop.:D

Wouldn't be any worse than what Klinton tried to do in Afghanistan when he hit that dayumed camel in the arse.;):rolleyes: :p :D
 
Koz,
If THAT NDN is shooting at a "innocent tree critter",and I don't care IF it is a tank he's using,"I'm betting on the critter"!NDN is a worse shot than Uncle!hee! But the story he would tell ,would be something to behold!You know how he gets when he's spinning a yarn!! :rolleyes:

Daisy, the fact is that with the gunner using the computer system in the tank there won't be any 'missing.':rolleyes:
And I'm just gonna call the order in, not even gonna be around the tank.:p :rolleyes: :D
