Cool little bit of apocrypha. "The Formidable???!!!" I do get the impression that 19th Century salesmen really want to town when it came to naming their products.

In the Army we use targets that"pop" up from prone to upright. When they are prone they lay down on top of a thermal blanket that heats them up. That way they are "hot" for a short time for the shooter/vehicle to spot and angage. Don't know if they have that capability. The lifters that the Army uses are about $3200 each for the infantry targets.

I am having problems with your Utreon. When I click the email link, it takes me to a general Utreon site, and when I then search for Forgotten Weapons, it gives me hundreds of non-Forgotten Weapons weapons video links.

It's a Dead Air Nomad (.30 cal).

Thanks! :)

Australian designer Russ Robinson had something like that, much earlier. It may well be in Leeds.

That was a silly question. I'll mail it to the Tucson address......

Good man Ian. Do you want a Paddyflage boonie hat to go with your Irish Defence Forces jacket, I've got a spare from my time in the IDF?

barret wouldn't have the eeeeeaaaarly other idea for the 50 as a shoulder launched anti tank kind of setup lying around somewhere? that would make cool footage.

What suppressor do you have on the Steyr scout rifle above your right shoulder? The match sounds interesting. Having used thermal imaging for industrial inspection, I'm looking forward to your videos and conclusions from it.

I too recently picked up a revolver for my collection. I was finally able to get a hold of a Webly Mark VI that received a snub nose conversion. I've seen a few Enfield No. 2 in .38 that had been cut down but this was the first time I had found a Webly in .45 acp.

Nothing. We need about 20% of the text from one of the coauthors, and he's been doing research on other elements of Afghan history for the past several years. Hopefully he will come back around to the areas we still need for the book, but there appears to be no way to convince him to change until he wants to.
