That Shinshin looks amazing
Not a 1:1 in that aspect, but just avout everything else is a direct copy, minus the tape that almost killed a J-31 on its first public run

"there's a difference?"
My great grandpa was held hostage by the nazies in world war 2
did he kill them all?
Didnt know Trump supporters were around in ww2 (just kiddin)
Probably what libs would say
Anyone serve in the navy? Jw Iβm about to go to meps for aircrew
My Papa (grandfather) was in WW2 as a naval officer in the south pacific. He served on the USS Reno, an anti aircraft ship, firing the large machine guns on deck. He lost his hearing in his 20's. He was drafted just as he turned 18, and never finished high school. He came out of the war and went straight to college, graduating with a BOS. He was a wonderful man. He was scarred from war though. He wouldn't talk about what happened to anyone. He would just say it was hell on earth. I can't help but wonder how degusted he would be at the weak whiney males of today's generation, the protesting and sheer idiocy. He was raised back when men had no choice but to be men. How far we have fallen. Thank you to all our military for standing up and serving our country <:AmericanFlag:720120797837918288> <:salut:730846445732888630>
Thank you, and your dad for your family's service to this country.
oop Papa was my Grandad. I am sorry not to have clarified! I am very proud of him. He has passed away but He isn't forgotten <:AmericanFlag:720120797837918288> β€οΈ
there I fixed it π
Oh, well thank you for your grandpa's service, we'll be thankful for his bravery, for what he has done for the country.
I am not positive, he always referred to them as "large machine guns" and I cannot for the life of me find out which ones on the ship he shot. There were multiple sizes, I believe.
these were the guns on board supposedly "twelve 12.7cm 5-inch/38 caliber guns in six twin mounts, 16 x 40mm guns, 16 x 20mm guns, eight torpedo tubes"
My great grandpa was killed by the Germans on June 22 1941, he was one the 1st soldiers who met the German advance.
I am sorry for that loss, but what a brave man. You should be so very proud.
Ahh, I called my mom into this. She said he shot 16 Γ 20 mm Oerlikon anti-aircraft cannons
Oh
In that case, it would be better to call them autocannons rather than heavy machine guns
ah yes, but when he would tell me about them I was little so probably would not have understood. π Thank you for the information- I shall change what I call them then.
Ok
to be honest sometimes he just called them "bigggg guns" to anyone who asked what he had shot π But he didn't like to talk about it so he would probably say as little as possible.
I mean, with the recoil of a 20mm anti air gun firing over and over, I'd be surprised if they didn't feel bigger than they actually were.
Many MG34
I remember how my grandad had to retire from the Navy because *graphic warning* his toes all apart from his big one got crushed by the lid of a submarine. He was a really tough guy. Had to get his foot attached to his leg and stay like that in a bed for months and then had to walk around on his foot. Must have hurt a lotttt, but yeah he was tough.
Honestly I swear he could live through anything
My grandpa Schmidt served in in Korean war he passed away in 2018 along with my dad
He's probably referring to the 20 or 40 mm guns
