Ode to men with big guns (to the tune of Sir Mix a lots "Big butts) I like big guns and I cannot lie You other sisters can�t deny That when a guy drives by in his big a$$ tank And 120mms in your face You get sprung Wanna jump inside Cuz you notice that gun was stuffed Deep in the muzzle, it�s flaring I�m hooked and I can�t stop staring Oh, baby, pull that trigger To hell with the parachute rigger My home girls tried to warn me But with a gun like that you got Me so corny� Ooh, eject that shell case again There�s another target around the bend Well load it, explode it cuz you ain�t that average guy

Thank you, I shall now revert to my usual "I think he might be saying something funny, but I can't tell" attempts at humour. Cheers JMH

M119A1 otherwise known as the L118/119. And then there is the exquisite pleasure of cleaning a gun which has had several pounds of burning black powder whooshed up its pristine polished bore. "Yes, my children. you may pull through the gun"; Gunner and Driver cavorted with glee, trembling at the thought of oily, oozing, black powder residue splashing onto their happy faces. "Puuull," I said, "now push hard, puulll, push harder; stop, let me add more oil to the brush; puuuulll!" On, it continues, until the bore is pristine and polished once more. Then Driver and Gunner lovingly wipe down the gunstaves, faces flushed black with contentment, combats drenched with the odorous ooze, saited by pleasure no FLH could know. Theirs was a hard lot, so small pleasures such as this were my gift them. Cheers JMH

Gee... SgtB. Why? No one else has. And I haven't seen a trace of the PG17 all day. Haven't seen JTG for that matter either. Hmmmm...

As long as you're up in the chandelier, how 'bout replacing some of the burned-out bulbs? Catch...

Farkin' aviators. The only reason property values don't decline when they're around is because they overpay for the houses with all that flight pay. Jim - yes, the blanks *are* black powder. About a pound of it. On purpose - nice loud deep boom withouth the high frequency component of smokeless powder - and it smokes nicely and smells good, too. Yeah, you have to be a real gun geek for that last part, I know. I love the smell of sulfur in the morning... it smells like... antiquity. Or Bill after a long day of listening to marbles bounce off aluminum.

Ah okay thanks I got it now. I will have to try that next 4th of July in connection with my family's annual ... get out the steel garbage can and the carbide and water. I have found that the right size "touch hole" is critical. The challenge will then be for our number three trash cannoneer to light the smudge pots just when the carbide goes off and puts the garbage can lid nearly through the chain link fence. Usually our eyebrows grow back in just in time for autumn's leaf and gasoline burning festival.

Right after the command, "Fire!", the number three gunner sets off the 40-lb. HC cannisters... Then everyone holds his breath and hopes the wind doesn't shift.

Jeez how did they get all of that smoke outta them guns. Does the Army use a special 40 weight Penzoil propellent these days, or did they go back to black powder?
