    I personally think the Panther was a much better tank but it was a late comer to the war. It had a much more modern design i.e. sloping armour and while the gun was smaller it was still highly effective especially against anything we had. The tiger was pure brute force, thick non-sloping armour and a bigger gun but much less maneuverable. It probably has a better success rate statistically because the Panther arrived too late for it to have worked through the design faults.

    Modern warfare is still based on those German Tactics of Blitzkrieg. I have the same book and lots of others as well
  3. You don't have to kill someone if you have a shotgun, imagine what a 12 bore would do to a leg at 5m
  4. They must know the kids left himself then?Seen on the news this morning that there's no sign of him on the CCTV Surely they'd see the door opening though even if he was too short. Otherwise he's been taken the night before or through a window Sounds very wierd
  5. I imagine that woman on Walshies post was how most people would be thinking. The problem with pulling a gun out is a person is then forced to either use it of have it taken off them and maybe used against themselves. I'm be much more in favour of non lethal weapons like Tazers being allowed in anyones house but illegal on the streets, those that already have shotguns have the means to protect themselves but could they get it out of the cabinet and load it in time? If you do have the time are you in imminent threat? The only situation that having a weapon would work out is if you wake u
  6. spot on,i got a few loose plug sockets lol One look at that huge fridge and they'll probably leg it...they don't like straining their backs either
  7. burglars don't carry guns but they do often carry screwdrivers
  8. My 7 year old struggled until recently to reach the latch and open our front door...it's hard to believe that a 3 year old could unless the door was very unsecure.
  9. I'm only laughing at what you thought I was thinking
  10. It's a funny old world where Libertarian UKIP get called fascists by erm...fascists
  11. The only thing I would say though is that I wouldn't want gun ownership to become easy like in the States, simpler licensing yes but I'd move to the middle of nowhere if I thought everyone on my street had guns lol
  12. got to bin the fags and booze before I can get rid of the pills
  13. tommy sauce does it for me -----i gave up on it years ago when i saw how it cleans brass .... Brown sauce as well
  14. I don't have a problem with the shooting of Duggan I do have a problem how they feel it's ok to go round point guns at unarmed people willy nilly
  15. love the rennies next to the sandwich , bacon does my stomach in as well but I still love it
  16. Yep but Tazers & CS are banned and if you made something to fire a baton you'd probably be in serious trouble as well. I agree about what you said about reprisals, the guy I was talking about earlier has had to move out of his nice house as far as I know, a lot of pressure to put on the family. Ideally you should be able to use non leathal force but it would be better if it could be something a bit better than a cricket bat
  17. That's what bothers me as well, do they keep their safety catches on? I doubt it.
  18. How many people have been locked up for shooting or killing an intruder though? been arrested then released with no charge doesn't count and lets be clear even if the law expressly allowed the use of firearms or any lethal force for self defence at home in the event you will still get arrested until the facts are clear It might not count to the stats but in the case of the guy round here who killed the burglar it was still two or three days where he was locked up away from his family at a time where he should have been there for them. Being locked up for even a day is traumatic for nor
  19. Ha ha my Labrador sounds hard as nails and scares the daylights out of most visitors before they enter but once they come in and try to stroke him he's hiding under the bloody table
  20. Yes I know but the fact they have this term reasonable force and then debate it so often while people are getting locked up is the problem. It needs to be clarified and realistically we need to be allowed to do almost anything for home defense. If someone is entering your house I don't see the issue with a homeowner killing them, they only get one chance and reasonable force might turn out to be not enough force 5 minutes later as they are bleeding to death on their own carpet. I don't think we need to encourage people to have guns though, some of us have them but they'd be useless in
