I don't quite get the joke being made here, but I'm sure it exists. I'm going to take a stab and say... One of the Tropico games? Maybe one of the Battlefield games? BF: Vietnam kinda sucked though.

Edit: drat I didn't catch you before your edit.

About $200 or so, yeah. LAW tubes go for a little less. People have cobbled together $5 worth of scrap to make a gun and gamed the gently caress out of these bullshit buybacks and parked outside offering people actual cash value for their firearms.

Would be the perfect place to get rid of my nagant revolver.

I wish they'd do that here; it'd be free pizza and beer money. Apparently there's one in Albany every year around this time, but it's only for handguns (???) so I'd have to illegally make a pistol (because NY) which I'm not about to do.

e: In a town nearby, somebody turned in a Carcano carbine that looks to be in decent shape.

Nagant revolvers go for less than 100 bucks...or did.

Not anymore. North of $300. The Serbs are cranking out the loving moon round the Nagant uses for fairly cheap.

loving WHY? They are so terrible by any metric?

Unless that was one of those rare SAO, what a pussy for not trying the horrible Double Action trigger pull.

Soaking of which, was there ever any follow up on the Growler pilots who did the Dick in the Sky?

The short little bit the ~~Top Gear~~ Grand Tour guys did on them (and their plane's name) a few episodes back was pretty amusing.

God I hope the Navy lets them appear on the Grand Tour.

I mean, that was the one I was thinking of but if you've got better ones I'd like to see 'em.

Thanks y'all.

I found some decent reference photos of the Lexington (BB-4, early US battlecruiser). Here's quick models of the hull, 12"x35 caliber deck guns, and bridge.

I'm gonna have to make a lot of models like these, and I'm not gonna spam the thread with 'em, but I wanted to show that I'm making use of the help you're giving me.

Do you mean Iowa not Lexington?

This is the image I was using as a reference, with the caption included:

So if I have the wrong ship class, it's because the caption lied to me.

Yeah, that was CC-1 that got converted into CV-2 during construction. BB-4 was USS Iowa, a pre dreadnought battleship

Ok, what are the details on that laser? Like strength and range, because holy poo poo I can’t believe did we actually do it? Gundams are right around the corner boys.

CIT are the guys specifically moving money around from Banks / ATMs / cash heavy businesses, so pretty much yes. Vans are fully armoured and at times also have un-marked escort vehicles following them which are usually a type of pick-up truck such as a Toyota Hilux.

Digging around locally, seems that this video is from an escort vehicle, that actually rammed one of the attackers. Source below is usually reliable, with Yusuf Abramjee a well regarded guy fighting crime & exposing corruption down here.

It's called CIT in the US as well
