Cool Weapons

[Dammian]

Maybe it was not a correct translation. I meant that we have a federal low wich describes types of weapons, available for civilians, excluding army, police and other special organizations

No, you were clear, he was being a smartass. It's a common affliction among us here.

Well, looks like Ima piss everybody off today. Yesterday, last night, whatthefuckever.

I'd still let you dig my grave. Just don't get any ideas about doing it soon.

No, no, no, you haven't pissed everybody off, you ain't that good.


But seriously, I don't think anybody's pissed off.

Yes, Bruce. But he does have his comedy gold moments. I think we should keep him.

Dammian, I think you might be our first Muscovite Dwellar. Welcome, if you haven't been already.

Well this was pretty embarrassing to the committee so they just left it on the bottom until 1961, when the raised and restored it.

A year ago someone decided they should make a 3 copies of one of the 24 pounder cannons and fire one.
That sounds like the bullshit needed to get a green light and funding, but we know they're doing this for fun.


So this is a major project, and they detailed at a website.

Definitely worth checking the link. Glatt would love this.

Bronze averages about $4/pound so at 2500# that's ten grand in bronze alone. The next big cost is the heat to melt that much bronze.

Thanks! My English is quite poor at the moment cause I had not any foreign bosses for a quite long time. No practice - no language. Tourism is not in count, but it helps

Thank you! I had been already welcomed here, but it was almost 10 years ago. Last week I recovered my password in my mind, so here I am
I had no guns that time anyway

No your English is fine. Civil and civilian can have the same meaning.

civ·il
ˈsiv(ə)l/
adjective
1.
of or relating to ordinary citizens and their concerns, as distinct from military or ecclesiastical matters.
"civil aviation"

BigV is just explaining a joke everyone got.
