excellent thanks for sharing

It takes some time. The muzzle is the first step. Next run and jump trick! Can it pull the rip cord? TTandem works best?
I've heard that the battleships moved sideways when firing. How much is debatable , but physics is physics and there is a bunch of it happening when they were send rounds down range.
Thanks
I started out with nothing and I still have most of it left.

Looking for a Hensly &Gibbs #258 any thing from a two cavity to a 10cavityI found a new one from a member here
A 2.600 # shell + 900# of powder X how many guns produces ???? recoil?
Please do not try that at your local range.

Electronic? Right? It will push a ship some but not a lot. If you was stuck on deck when they fired these guns. You would be dead or blown overboard. Few have survived it but not many.
I finally went to Google and asked: "Do battleships move sideways under recoil?"
Up came a very scientific article WITH MATH to prove that NO, the ship does not move appreciably under recoil forces.
Ask the question for yourselves on Google, and prepare to be educated on the topic. Very interesting.

Did anyone else notice the M-16 caught in the back blast?
As to the battle ships moving thing, I was thinking they don't, untill I saw on of the photos of the broadside and at the bow it looks like the water had rushed around it. Small (compaired to what was happening on the water under the guns), but still there.
WHEN IN DOUBT, USE MORE CLOUT!
My shooters were tincans- a DDG and an FF both with 5"/54's, I did make one Westpac with the USS Missouri though.
If you look at the pictures of the 16" broadside, and look at the wake, you will see the ship does not move sideways 30 or 60 or 80+ feet. The wake is still in line with the axis of the ship.

Those are awesome! I've got a few pics from FEX and live fire where we captured mortars going out or AT-4's igniting, but it's all crappy low res stuff since we were using burst mode. Really cool moments to capture...my favorite is the TOW missile still riding on the booster, before the flight motor kicked in.
Awesome I pictures. Thanks
Fantastic pictures, thanks. I'd hate to have been the guy in the third pix. Wonder what the "pucker factor" of that experience was? Is that a Harrier? Looks like a lot of fuel and/or a lot of ordinance. Is ordinance like that "safe" in a fire or will it "cook off"?

Yes it will cook off.

I remember that and I thought that was the cause. Didn't know if somehow there had been a change all thou I'll admit I have no idea how. I've also been told thou again have no first hand experience that one can cook dinner using C4 as fuel. Something I would have to see done from a safe distance.

Thankfully the navy has been filming all activities on the flightdeck for more years than I can remember and YES it saved my neck one time as well.
But that is another story for another time.
