evil_bunnY posted:Is it just the lack of airspeed/maneuverability? It'll have a shorter range than anything capable of shooting back, it'll require a bunch of equipment to actually use (detection, launch, other integration gear) and each missile weighs as much as two Hellfires, so there goes your payload.

Yeah, a lot of people tend to forget we never really stopped loving with Iraq after 1991. Operation Desert Fox and the No Fly Zones being enforced were always a thing. I think it was 3F Rule who posted a story about launching some AGM65 during the 90s and blowing something up after that same missile had flown on aircraft for like years or something.

 Great Successor explains to what looks to be a jet pilot from 1951 how the MiG-29 works. Also I learned that North Korean MiG-29s come with headrest doilies

Some ye olde content. Cornet Henry John Wilkin, who rode in the Charge of the Light Brigade, 1854. He was also a surgeon apparently.  Crimean War veterans Private Jesse Lockhurst and Thomas O'Brien holding the shot which injured them, 1856. "Lockhurst received a shot in his right eye which destroyed its sight, as well as his upper jawbone. O'Brien had his left eye destroyed and his jawbone fractured."  Heroes of the Crimean War, by Joseph Cundall, 1856

What do they do with the shotgun shell, take out the shot and wad before loading? Or can this be done with an off-the-shelf round?

Judging by the pain in the dick loading procedure in the video, I am guessing they remove almost everything out of the shell, if not everything, making it a giant blank round. Bet it is similar to the golf ball launchers they sell for ARs In Che Guevara's book "Guerilla Warfare" he sows a similar set up for an insurgent mortar. Instead of a blank, it was a big rear end wooden dowel with a cup on the end to hold a grenade. Always wanted to try something similar, but I am afraid to blow my face off.

I assumed a blank was used, similar to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M7_grenade_launcher . I also pretty much watched that video expecting to see someone blow his own arm off though.

Inflatables and other mockups (wooden tanks, jeeps dressed up to look like tanks) go back at least as far as WWII and were used by just about everyone.

The best bit so far is NRK went mad and wrote an article about how it's had almost a million views on youtube (wow) and contacted the Norwegian Army press office, who said it's great and it should be their new recruitment video*. *I think, my Norwegian is... not great.
