I know most if not all of the U.S. Team. ( haven't seen this year's roster ) I've fought most of them. Won some, lost some. Let's just say, if you wanted to make Antifa look like the whiny wimps they are, have them pick their best dozen and at 2 to 1 odds they'd be needing lots of Tiger Balm. You'd want several ambulances ready on site. It's a fun martial arts series. Check it out on YouTube. "Battle of the nations". Weapons are blunt. That doesn't mean they don't hurt. Pressure cuts and bruises are normal. Full contact. | ||

To be clear, I normally fight by different rules with rattan weapons. Battle of the nations rules allow more kicking etc. that SCA frowns upon. ( we try for genteeeel brutal violence. ) But I have played that game. If I was younger and still had my knees, I'd be trying out for the U.S. team. | ||

Here ya go Greg!! Got to see this band a couple of years ago, DON'T MISS if they come to town or a nearby town. Every musician KILLS IT and sings to boot. The secret weapon I think is the bassist. I'll pay to see them again. Not to mention the lead singer is HAWTTT. Supposedly one of the hardest songs to cover. Enjoy! | ||

I really think this is the best cover of Bohemian Rhapsody: | ||

Uhh, I'm detecting a slight imbalance! That thing must have been shaking like a Harley with an offset crankshaft! | ||

From here, that looks like a P 47 Thunderbolt. It had a reputation for being able to take a tremendous amount of damage and still fly. | ||
| Dwardo |
Yep, that's what it is. | ||

Airplane geek mode..... The P-47 used a P&W R-2800 engine, known for still working with entire cylinders blown off. As opposed to the glorious Rolls Royce Merlin, in the Mustang later models, that would seize up if you put a .22 through the radiator. ( the early version Mustang with the Allison engine, that wasn't such a problem, because of a more robust cooling system. In the engine itself, not the plane ) The reason the P-47 was so large, was it was designed after the Battle of Britain, and unlike earlier planes was designed from the beginning with armor for the pilot & oil tank, (dry sump, like a Buell ) self dealing fuel tanks, and enough firepower to shred a bomber in one burst. Earlier planes, like the P-40, had to have all that stuff added on, weighing down planes and ruining the balance of power & lift. Note that the Germans had many gun combinations of roughly half inch machine guns and 20-30, even 50 mm cannons, in an attempt to give their planes a 'one shot' kill on bombers, but never equaled the Thunderbolt's 8 half inch machine gun battery. Ditto the Brits, who started off with the initially impressive 8 .303 inch machine guns, which, to their dismay, wasn't the right combination to shoot down the bombers attacking England. It worked, but not well. Various U.S. Planes had other combinations, like the P-38 with 4-.50 cal machine guns and one 20mm cannon, but the majority had six, or four, .50s... Not until Northrop's P-61 Black Widow night fighter with four 20mm cannon and four .50" machine guns, did anyone have an equal to turning an enemy plane into metal confetti in one burst. Ok, that explains the big wing. But why the fat fuselage, when everyone else was making slender airplanes? Turbo supercharging. The big air scoop at the bottom of the cowling, normally round for cooling air on radial engines, took huge amounts of air, in ducts the size of your body, back to the turbo in the belly of the plane, well behind the pilot, and was split to send some through the turbo, and most through two intercoolers, ( big ones the size of the whole engine bay in a car ) and then another huge duct took the pressurized & cooled air, back under the pilot, to the engine's built in mechanical supercharger. This gave the Thunderbolt excellent high altitude performance, and shrugged off bullets, that would only make a small hole in a big duct, costing a tiny fraction of performance, ( and a whistling sound no one could hear over two thousand eight hundred cubic inches of engine ) but didn't threaten the plane's ability to fight, or get it's pilot home. Stories about bricks from chimney hits & human heads from flying too low on strafing runs found in the air scoop are common. Tough airplane. |
