This isn't especially amazing, except that I literally stumbled across it whilst out trekking in the jungle.

I think the blue stripe means it's a practice round. I don't think I would kick it around though, just in case.

As above, blue for training, plus no fuse pockets at the top, you should be fine. Still would be wary, though.

How do you people find such enjoyment in the death of other human beings?

Wow, what a horrible and unfounded accusation.

Well, exactly. It's like, that old veggie mantra, 'meat is murder'.

The boring answer is 20mm cannon fire, as they were never fitted with anything more exciting. He could have used FFAR rockets, but they aren't much cop for aerial combat for accuracy reasons(rather like attempting a head shot from 500 yards with a blunderbuss).

Prop planes being jumped by mig17s with a huge energy advantage and surprise turning the tables and killing a mig with 20mm isn't that boring.

They also used to sit next to the A1, east of RAF Cottesmore, when I was a nipper...

They used H202 as a propellent - the same fuel that led to the demise of the Kursk. They may be fast, but given that the fastest subs and surface vessels top out about 55-60 mph their top speed is rather pointless especially given the inherent risk of H Peroxide fuel.

Still bloody cool though.

It's this type of torpedo that the Iranians have reverse engineered and think that it will sink a US carrier.

Doesn't it also have a range measured in feet too?

Must admit I never found these in the least bit "amazing" ....



not even when they rolled out some real ones for Q uploads, more quietly terrifying.
