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.
I think the thread is for "amazing pics of military ordnance", rather than "pics of amazing military ordnance". not even when they rolled out some real ones for Q uploads, more quietly terrifying.
But by any standard yours is a particularly dull pic.

As in near Dage Nam? When was that?rhinochopig said:
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.
Further proof of this can be seen in the case of HMS Explorer, a HTP powered submarine that quickly earned the nickname HMS Exploder...Still bloody cool though.

Possibly the most ridiculous piece of military hardware:
I know. Cravats with tunics. Frigging outrageous.Do they not know that a Gentleman would never wear that ensemble?

Finding the correct apparel for launching a small bucket of instant sunshine at the 8th Guards Army, is most troublesome. Perhaps you might have some suggestions Mr Amies.
Clearly, a Gentlemen who wear a bespoke suit, waistcoat and tie, (unless one was dressing for dinner when it would be strictly Black Tie or Mess Dress).Terry Thomas said:
Hello? Jenkins? Yes. Let the Bolshies have it.

Only a short few hops in the military mind from the Genie...

...and on a simular note... the Fulton Skyhook - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PErEsNhDmo8
Bugger that, for a game of soldiers ! Wouldn't catch me trying that !
