Picture of the day

[MarkCNP]

Carl captured a Jap 150mm Type 5 AA gun. He duffle cut it for the ride home, and made some handloads for plinking:

Man, that's a lot of cartridge for moose...

Meanwhile, in Sunny Italy...

Naw, just a very short moose hunter.

It's actually just playing with perspective. The dude is standing 15 feet farther back.

^ then why is his right foot at the base of the round? And the shadow of the man and the round are in line, even the shadow of the person taking the pic is in it.

 

[Auggie Doggie]

You missed the winky face.

Speaking of Canadian snipers, this is an interesting piece of kit...

Looks like aunt Vivianne hunting moose( she was not a handsome lady). What a cheek weld.

Dispatch riders were meant to burn rubber not landsers.

Maybe a bet? "Sure I can hit that Jerry 500 yards away!"

French MAS-36 modified for sniper use??

Pattern 14 or Rifle No.3(T), I believe all the sniper variants were Winchesters, would love one of them...

Maybe that's a civilian hunting rifle?

Please inform me as to what aspect of your person have I insulted. Doubt you're the guy in the picture, we havn't had dispatch riders for many a years and I would be amusingly troubled that you identify to the name of Vivianne

So if I'm betting with the guy in the picture you're 90ish or more and as such I'll take the bet ( Jerry, however, will be pissed; he had a busy weekend coming up)
Cheers mate
