Mate of mine got a red back spider bite on his foot the other week and he was on a drip for 4 days though at home with a tap in the back of his hand and a nurse came morning and night trying to flush the poison out. His foot was the size of a balloon and he said he wouldn't want to feel that pain ever again.
No wonder you guys import WWI tanks and WWII Nazi ""Super Weapons" to Australia...gotta use them against your local spiders, insects and reptiles. Jeez.

A priceless treasure to be sure.
I sure wouldn't have wanted to be in one of those snails when the artillery shells started coming down, let alone sitting on the engine wearing asbestos underwear.

Hale has been tearing it up in the Southeast part of the country...as smooth and accurate as one can get.
Congrats on Top Lady at State/Ides. You've earned it!

Looks like FUN!!!
Gotta say that many of today's American SASS shooters would incessantly whine about the "far" target distance. The "seasoned" SASS vet would just enjoy the olden SASS days.

Karine Jean-Pierre has announced that the pictures are actually from a desert relocation of beach sand from Lake Tahoe due to climate change and sea level rise. The icicles shown, are really wind driven salt spray stalactites originating from a sugar-deprived lake in Utah.
Aw crap, wrong thread. Supposed to be the Bodie thread.
Nevermind.

What symptoms made you guys do a level check?
I never had any symptoms of lead poisoning, still don't. I was curious about it, so I asked for it while they were drawing blood for the normal "got to have a blood draw so I can renew prescriptions" pretense.
Mine was a 14 the last time. I'm not worried about a 14.
I dry tumble with walnut (lizard litter) and a brass cleaner/polish, wear gloves during the process and a respirator during the separation process.
Mine has been as high as a 24. During that time, I was very active as a TO and other posse duties and close to the firing line. I firmly believe that frequent close proximity to the line and inhalation of the associated ground dust/smoke/etc. contributes to higher lead levels.
Lead cannot be absorbed through the skin, it must be ingested either orally or inhaled. I try to "prudently" try to limit my exposure to it as much as possible during a match or other shooting...but there's only so much that can be done within reason.

Less then $3 per panel delivered would not be out of line to me if I couldn't pick them up myself.
If they're gonna load 'em, bring 'em to my location and unload 'em for $70.00...I'm gonna give those two fella's a $20.00 tip and tell 'em lunch is on me guys.

This is probably the one you're talking about.
The one I was thinking about was this one from Gallipoli.
But apparently it happens more than you would think. Now some of these are obviously faked, but some appear to be the real deal.

Actually, I was thinking about both of the pictures shown.

Lots of Toyota pickups on the other side.Thanks...but no thanks. If someone is shooting at me, I believe that I'll choose the JLTV over a Toyota.

We all know about how beneficial speed can be and that accuracy can be just as beneficial, if not more so.
But I was talking about 2 folks, drawing and firing, and what speed would have to incur in order for 2 shots to in flight
at the same time..... that the possibility of BOTH participants being shot basically at the same time they fired their pistols.
I think some folks above have answered the question.
THANKS

I remember seeing a old picture of two bullets, each headed the opposite direction, that had collided mid air. I think it was from the Civil War era and wasn't two pistol rounds that had intersected each other.
Have to wonder if anything like that ever happened though in a "gunfight".

I had some of that. It had like asphalt sealing the bullet to the brass. I suppose that was to make it waterproof. I shot, maybe, 20 rounds of it, and then saw an article that Shotgun News about how it had huge pressure spikes, and wasn't safe. Put it aside to pull for the bullets, and it grew legs and walked off somewhere.
It was supposed to be especially bad in HK guns, because it would gum up the flutes, which decreased the diameter of the chamber, which increased the pressure.
That's the one.

About twenty-five years ago i bought some 7.62 x 51 ammo that was made in Venezuela. Dirtiest, nastiest, most gumming up ammo that've ever bought.
