Rougarou Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 Ya, government (Trump, not political, just statement of who agreed with banning the "bumpfire stocks", a stoopid call),....yet, I can use a pencil to achieve the same thing,.....it's all about the push pull. Accuracy, nope......its spray and pray you're hitting "a" target. Accuracy on full auto is achieved on bipod but better on tripod. 1 Link to comment

Joe Frickin' Friday Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 The British-made Hawker Hunter jet is famous for its "blue note", an eerie howling sound that occurs when the slipstream passes over the gun ports at certain airspeeds: F-18s do it too - something to do with the engine intakes - but it's not as loud or melodic as the Hunter: Link to comment
roadscholar Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 We get that sound here once in awhile with NAS Jax nearby (5mi ATCF), always thought it was caused by a steep turn, interesting. Link to comment

The J-79 engines that were used on the F-4 and F-104 made a really freaky howling noise at certain power settings too. See this video, cued to 4:46: When I was in college my dorm was next to the landing path for the local airport, where the national guard flew F-4 phantoms. Whenever they came in for a landing, they were constantly adjusting the throttles in and out of the range where this howling occurred. Two engines on that plane, and the howling was loud, like some kind of crazy giant sky-coyote. BTW, AgentJayZ's YouTube channel is all about gas turbine engines (aviation and otherwise). If you've ever been curious about the details how how a real jet engine works or how it's put together, he's got you covered. 1 Link to comment

Joe Frickin' Friday Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 On December 30, the Marshall fire burned down about 1000 homes in Superior and Louisville, Colorado. My sister and her husband live in the area, and while their home survived, whole neighborhoods a 1/4-mile away were burned to the ground. They have about a dozen good friends who lost their homes; many of them were out of town at the time due to the holidays, so they couldn't even save documents and keepsakes. Yikes. My sister just sent me this 8-minute video from the perspective of the fire crews pushing back on the blaze. Some amazing footage, and a lot of description from the firefighters themselves about what they were up against, including having to use homes' garden hoses instead of their big fire hoses on some occasions. Not on YouTube, on Twitter - here a go: 2 Link to comment
