Forgotten Weapons recently uploaded a video of an ex-soviet 122mm howitzer firing:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jC8QluMMELU

There's some OSHA in the video as the comments, mostly from Finnish artillery crews which used the same gun as the 122H63, mention that the loader should never load the gun directly from behind as there's a risk of the gun firing immediately upon closing the breech and hitting the incorrectly positioned loader.

Yeah, as you say the 122H63 is just our code for the imported Soviet D30, and as you ALSO say, you could kinda tell the thing was Soviet built, even though the FDF have done some modifications to them to make them less Soviet over the years.

But hey, they were cheap and we've got such a massive stockpile of ammunition that our field artillery crews to fire more shells than almost any other country's gunners because the shells keep expiring almost faster than we can shoot them off.

It would seem that a firing range, with weapons that have different propellant charges, should have no back yards out to the maximum distance of a given weapon and propellant charge. :v: I mean, that's just me!

Yeah, I think a lot of people came around to that line of thinking around the time the second shell landed near the same town :v:

To get an idea of what happened, here is the area. You can probably pick out the Pohjankangas firing range on the map (it's the area where sand is the main vegetation). The army base is to the south of the firing range, and the guns fire from the south end towards north. And I totally get what you mean, but at the same time... they overshot the target by ~5 kilometers. That's not easy to do!

Mine also, plus paragoric for croup.

Why no, I can't smell time.

(edit) In the late 60s, my dad (a research chemist) mixed up something called hyamine in the lab at Rohm & Haas, and we used it instead of mercurochrome. It was colorless & odorless and didn't sting. He said R&H had trouble marketing it outside of hospitals because people felt that, if the antiseptic didn't sting, it wasn't working.

Oh, and he went onto invent CFC, the greenhouse gas

It’s a potent greenhouse gas, but if that were the only thing it did, we might never have phased it out.

The bigger issue with chlorofluorocarbons is that they wreck the ozone layer.

Fun fact we replaced ozone killing CFCs with HFCs as a propellant in cans. HFCs don’t hurt the ozone layer but are a very strong greenhouse gas.

CFC and HCFC degrade, reacting with ozone. That's bad.

I know, lets make them but they don't degrade. They're degrading cause of the big honking chlorine. We can replace that with flourine and hydrogen in a way the physical properties are very similar, with a stability that they will never react.

Oh poo poo. oh gently caress. They aren't reacting and are big honking molecules that bodily block photons and radiant heat loss to space.

The person pointing out we are sitting around industrially farting ourselves to death while watching and knowing exactly what's happening is a good thought, but if there's any theoretical future people looking back at the end of the 20th century they are going to look at banning tetraethyl lead and CFCs like "haha, they thought that was going to help?"

Also my understanding is that if it wasn't for the fact that HFCs were there, and could be used as cheaply as CFCs, the refrigeration industry would still be using them to this day and kicking and screaming the way oil companies are.

A good prank though. Not our fault you lot can't tell the difference between them and a Koala, and it neatly avoids the dangers of a Drop Bear that has made a fresh kill and gotten its blood up, not to mention the retaliation of the janitorial staff who have to deal with the mess afterwards.

If you want refrigeration without greenhouse effects and without killing the ozone layer, there’s always ammonia.

The Montreal Protocol is a very gentle phase out. You can still legally service your classic car with R-12.

Most of the traction came from specialty chemicals companies who had HCFC and HFC patents sewn up between a consortium aiming to wreck the Dupont monopoly. The ozone hole is fixing itself in spite of the situation.

I'm fortunate that the AQI where I am is merely an "unhealthy" 250. It's usually about 13.

The trump admin started make noises about reversing the various reefer bans, until the lobbyists shut it down hard.

They make more money on R-22 banking and 4 series refrigerants and equipment than they ever would of got without Montreal.

I'm hoping magneto-calorics take off. I will do chilled water all day long.
