Subdeacon Joe Posted December 21, 2019 Share Posted December 21, 2019 British press is as bad as the US press. A British tabloid made an embarrassing error Friday, writing a hysterical piece that incorrectly reported the Defence Ministry had paid hundreds of millions of pounds to buy a five-inch-long gun. “We just blew £183m on a five-inch gun, but it’s ‘a good value for taxpayers,’” read the outraged headline from The Daily Star. The subheadline also reinforced that the author believed the gun was literally five inches, calling it “the length of a toothbrush.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Injun Ryder, SASS #36201L Posted December 21, 2019 Share Posted December 21, 2019 If only we could get our press and politicians to think like that. What fun we could have!!! A fifty cal would be a 1/2 inch gun, an AR would be less than a 1/4 inch gun and so on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smuteye John SASS#24774 Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 Also the .40mm ones. Those don't worry me. The bullets are too small (.016") to be dangerous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
