Yessir, you do. CO2 spits them out.
How does it create a seal?

Yep. There were a few variations on the theme.
Just another extra something in the gun cart that wasn't really needed.
I was just thinking that with speed loaders you could sustain around 55 to 60 rounds a minute.

As found on FB
The Chrysler A57 engine, also known as the Chrysler Multibank, was a unique and complex powerplant used primarily during World War II. It was an innovative solution to the Allied demand for powerful and reliable tank engines. The A57 was composed of five Chrysler flathead inline-six automobile engines arranged around a central shaft to form a radial-like configuration. This setup provided a total of 30 cylinders, generating approximately 425 horsepower.
The Multibank engine was primarily installed in the M4A4 Sherman tank, also known as the Sherman V in British service. Despite its unconventional design, the A57 engine proved to be robust and reliable in combat. However, its complexity made maintenance more challenging compared to other engine types. The Chrysler A57 Multibank remains an interesting example of engineering ingenuity in response to wartime needs.

For a while cowpokes were making these out of rigid PVC pipe with a wood dowel for the plunger/rammer. Holes in the PVC at the appropriate distances indicated how many were in the pipe.
Yep. I've seen those. This was just the first video I came across today. I saw a homemade rig with a brass tube with 2 slots that a captured pin went through. Sort of a follower. Projected maybe 3/4 of an inch from one side so you could pull on it to push the cartridges in.

bb's. Said it prefers steel ones.
Thanks. Obviously I missed that. I just assumed that since it says ".177" that it used pellets as well as BBs.
But that doesn't answer my question. Do you load the BBs into the cartridges?

So I'm not high jacking the "How Fast" thread.
Imagine having a quiver with a dozen of those.

Then, if he has a speed loader tube he can reload in unde 10 seconds.
-
One thing I'm not clear on...
Do you load pellets into those cartridges, load them into the cylinder, and somehow the mechanism creates a seal and shoots the pellets?

I love her little throat clearing on the slo-mo replay.

What’s the difference between bulk sausage and not bulk sausage?
Casing.

It depends on the State and the exact terms of the contract. I suspect that most courts would rule in favor of the birth mother.

Take care, and good luck. We'll keep a candle in the window for you.
Maybe poke your head in now and then to say, "Howdy!" So we'll know that you're alive and well, living in Argentina.

Lance Corporal Ned Seath rebuilt a machine gun from two partially destroyed ones...in the dark, under fire, while being wounded by a mortar...then mowed down so many enemy he couldn't see over the pile of bodies...
As the enemy massed an assault, Seath's M60 went down. He heard the gun of the team adjacent to his get hit and go down too. Seath grabbed his damaged gun and sprinted through fire to the other team's position. As others held off the enemy with rifles and grenade launchers, Seath disassembled both guns on a poncho. With no light other than muzzle flashes and a flickering flare somewhere overhead, Seath miraculously made one working gun out of two. A mortar exploded nearby as he worked, peppering him with shrapnel. He ignored the raging battle and his wounds to get one operational M60 back in the fight. Once finished, Seath lay prone behind the gun and opened fire at the massed, advancing enemy merely 40 feet away. He cut down so many, so quickly that they piled high in front of him, blocking his view of more advancing waves. Seath stood up, in full view of the enemy, shouldered the M60, and continued firing. He made quick work of the remaining soldiers and stopped the attack.
Seath survived the night and the remainder of his tour. He went unrecognized for his actions for 45 years. In 2011, Seath was awarded the Navy Cross.
"...serving as a Machine Gun Team Leader with Company K, Third Battalion, Fourth Marines, on 16 July 1966. Shortly after landing, the Company encountered a reinforced enemy platoon in a well-organized, defensive position. In a portion of the perimeter adjacent to LCpl Seath, a machine gunner was wounded and his weapon disabled by enemy fire. Recognizing the importance of stopping the enemy, LCpl Seath moved quickly through withering automatic weapons fire to extract the inoperative machine gun. Working in pitch darkness with only the occasional flickering illumination from aircraft dropped flares and suffering a leg and hand wound from mortar fire, LCpl Seath expertly crafted an operational M-60 from the pieces of two disabled weapons. Immediately and with devastating effects, he directed fire at the onrushing enemy. Heedless of his painful wounds, as his field of fire in the prone position became partially obscured by enemy casualties, LCpl Seath stood up fully exposed to the enemy as he continued the withering fire ultimately repelling the enemy's assault."

How so? What did she do or say?
Back in 2016, "I'll be glad when this election is over and someone can get busy destroying everything we believe in, for and died for, and love about America. "

Hamburger is actually a sausage!! It is simply unseasoned or lightly seasoned beef and often, extra fat is ground in with the lean meat.
Think “Hamburger” vs “Frankfurter”! 😜
Hmmmmm.....is ground meat that just has seasoning ON it sausage? I'll concede that mixing seasoning into the meat meets a definition of sausage, I've long argued that meatloaf is just a large baked sausage.

Here we go - adoption question
in SASS Wire Saloon
Posted
Kind of harsh.
Can't afford the the cost of having the baby, so giving birth and putting the child up for adoption is out, doesn't want to abort it, finds someone who will cover the cost of the prenatal care and the birth....not a cent to her other than covering the medical costs. That's far from "selling" the child. It's giving the child a chance at life.
That she changes her mind is quite understandable.
