Hijack alert!! Ok, so the M-79 was deemed obsolete as a stand-alone weapon and also not versatile enough, so it was combined with the AR platform to make the M-203. But now, the M-203 is obsolete and they're going back to a stand-alone weapon with an improved version of the M-79 with the M-320? I don't get it.

Looks like a scene from the movie “Fargo”…

Is that an MG-42? And is that Aaron Rogers preparing to fire on the defensive line?

That doesn’t look like “The Gay Caballero” movie I saw way back when…

I’ve got one of those with oak leaves…

I can make out a correctly oriented letter E ahead of the cockpit. Could he have been landing on the centerline deck?

If he wuz wearing cowboy boots and they took off the bucket spikes, he could look 'em in the "eyes".

Fortunately it wasn’t “lit”

That was taken in Leadville, CO. It is or was, an annual event. We used to stay there and ski at Ski Cooper north of town.

Bet he works for the gummint.

I did the same, but didn’t consult Snopes. There is no story to be found about this supposed person. I’m amazed people fall for this s**t.

Seriously? I’ve never seen a jug launch itself like that. I would think it would have exited the cowling by then. I’ve seen a magneto grenade itself, but the shrapnel had already left the engine compartment.

Tax breaks ARE subsidies and they are never-ending. Take away the taxpayer support and the entire green energy gambit dies overnight. Now, let’s take this dead horse topic to a new thread and leave this meme thread alone.

Then what’s it for?

If it was efficient or practical, they’d be doing it by now. I’ll defer to the shipping operators who know to make a buck.

Looks like it’s California and Canada compliant. But then, there’s someone who’ll think it should be banned because of “the thing that goes up in the back”.

Or in Navy aviation, Dilbert.

That ain’t no pooper scooper. She‘s just a dumb**s.

Please translate ANA. I just now noticed the ejected case in the air. What is the block-like device attached to the hand guard/forearm?

That’s Biden, back when he said he was in boot camp.

Here’s the account : https://www.planeandpilotmag.com/news/pilot-talk/grumman-f11-tiger-shoot-itself-down/ I remember reading years ago that this phenomenon happened a time or two during combat maneuvering in WWII.

Wow! I wonder how that ended?
