Trying to get an understanding of things while avoiding overblown and complex prose. Throw in a rant now and then. Throw in some fun stuff too. Click on the Archives on the right side to see it all. Click on pix to enlarge.
I also have a picture blog at http://bill454.tumblr.com/ which is pix found on the web I liked.

Some Ammunition
The .223 is the size of the M16 5.5mm round. The .308 is equivalent to the 7.62 NATO round. The .50 cal is used in heavy machine guns. The WWII P-47 Thunderbolt fighter had 8 .50 cal machine guns. Some fighters also had 20mm (.80 cal) cannon.
