    Nothing serious but took over an hour to get it out. Spose i couldve been trapped under it had i not jumped off. Was too busy looking for new larson trap sites. The bike survived, speedo stopped working and spinner was f****d mind.

    Perhaps.... the jury is out. Of course all that theory get's brought into question when you look at countries and states that don't fit that belief. Or start to consider indirect effects, like how the general homicide rate changes with gun reg's, rather than just the gun homicide rate. I can't be arsed with another gun debate though. I only really commented to make it clear that Canada is a different country to the USA, even when it comes to gun culture.
  3. Born Hunter
    No, they aren't even close. Canada has a gun homicide rate less than a fifth of the US. Less even than France. And they have much much stricter gun control than the US. But you wouldn't know that. Illustrated perfectly by the fact you seem to think a gun rights advocate that believes in arming toddlers is at all mainstream amongst that community.

    Completely different country

    I'm seeing a reasonable resurgence locally. Might even go out Sunday morning and try shoot a few over the spaniel. Been enough years without mind.

    Don't worry Scot, I'm sure the 'sharp minds' will turn up shortly...

    They've deployed energy weapons on one of their destroyers in the gulf. Tested it on airborne drones and small boats. The Chinese sent a bit of a shockwave through the defence community a few months back when they demonstrated the level of development of their rail gun tech. For whatever reason the US have let them gain dominance in that specific area.

    Happening all over this year. Combines causing ignition one way or another while cutting. I remember when I was in my teens watching probably 100 acres (uncut) go up! The farmer was not a happy chappy that morning!

    My point exactly. IF it was backed with a more rigid laminate layer it might improve it. I didn't say it was backed with titanium, I speculated about it being.

    No idea what the best is but this is £8 from Bushwear, is small and just works. https://www.bushwear.co.uk/bushwear-bush-saw-316913.html Along with this 5.8" Mora for £18 I've found it the best kit for field gralloching deer (Roe, Muntjac & Fallow). https://www.bushwear.co.uk/mora-748-sheath-knife-314717.html I've used some expensive stuff and I didn't find it any better.

    Got a mate that made his own and keeps himself well stocked. Got a jar of his rum that I made sloe rum out of, which given a few years has improved the raw spirit quite a lot imo. The stuff is very high proof. You could weaponise it given an appropriate delivery system!
  14. Born Hunter
    I wonder if it was backed with titanium, carbon fibre or similar if it'd spread the force better reducing the pressure? It's clearly very good at containing a projectile.
  15. Born Hunter
    No mate, the nuts and bolts of this sort of stuff is no more exciting than what i do now in truth. Its all f***ing boring, lol. Im more interested in the bigger picture.

    Mate, they're just public grants to stimulate private sector investment. The Skylon grant for instance is tiny compared to the around 100M of investment it's already had. I think Lockheed Martin are going to build and fund most of it. Then the likes of BAE will want to get in on it and suddenly there's market competition.
  17. Born Hunter
    pfft, Stargates when we build them.
  18. Born Hunter
    Even greater is the Skylon project which is a UK built space plane to be launched and landed at a Cornish spaceport! The SABRE engine concept is in development but is cutting edge stuff. It'd have a cargo capacity measured in tons rather than kilos.

    Troglodyte!
  20. Born Hunter
    LOL. I'm trying to show some of the positive stuff that's coming out of this country. The sort of stuff that is part of our independent future. It's fecking hard work on here! Folks, we're going to be launching f***ing space rockets!.................. into SPACE! IMO we are on the dawn of the commercialisation of space and I want to see the UK at the cutting edge. In the 20th century nationalism drove space exploration, then the rapid progress died down but we're right on the cusp of capitalism bringing about a resurgence. It's going to become a big industry and we have a lot of in

    Opportunistic bollocks from an activist. I'm personally seeing the results of what looks to have been a fantastic breeding season in general.

    Insightful
  23. Born Hunter
    Nah mate, you're right, they'd not thought of that...

    https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/scotland-uk-first-spaceport-sutherland-uk-space-agency-a8448451.html This is really good stuff. We are a global leader in satellite development and having the in-house ability to launch too for a full service will have great potential. The only thing that worries me is if the about £25M is enough to really encourage the private sector investment needed to complete and commercialise. I have no feel for that. This is good shit folks. Exactly the sort of shit we need for post Brexit.

    Probably largely as a result of the Taranis concept. Mate, the level of integration with other assets these planes will have will be amazing. In the same way the F-35 is. They're not just interceptors anymore, they are highly mobile and connected intelligence and communication systems. The level of integration and information sharing between AWACS, warships, drones, subs, satellites and command is a huge step change. Notice it mentions 'directed energy weapons'. There's the UK Dragonfire laser weapon in development now which I think will primarily be air defence for warships but t
