I have become addicted to English hammered shotguns to the detriment of my wallet.

10 gauge shotguns are fun! 120 grs of 1F, 1 1/2 ounces of shot and if the posse seems sleepy, pull both triggers!!

The Norden bomb sight worked great in trials and I agree it was a major technological advance. Of course it was being operated by well trained people who weren't being shot at. During war time, accuracy went down significantly due to young, rapidly trained men, flak bursts and enemy fighters. US daylight "precision" bombing wasn't a whole lot better then the British nighttime area bombing.

Everything I've strongly suggests that the Romanian Army did not want to be there and were usually assigned secondary assignments because the Germans had no faith in their ability to handle a major attack. -
I got to fire a 25 round belt of training rounds through the MK-19 for familiarization purposes during MP School, that was fun. It was always a bad sign when the drill sergeants mostly stopped yelling and were almost polite. They were that way for live grenade training. The sandbagged pit, pockmarked wall and flak vests. I did not enjoy grenade training

I was lucky enough to see John Lee Hooker live when he was touring in the early 1990's -
Better that then the majority of Connecticut drivers who merge onto the highway at 30 mph.
