Big guns, reaaally big guns

So what experiences did you have with Dr. Gerald Bull???

Garand, I never met him, but I wish that I had. He was probably the single greatest designer of cannon and large caliber ordnance.

His brilliance was in his ability to intuitively design. He knew in his head pretty much what the finished product should be, before he ever calculated.

LOLOLOLOLOL! You think the Afganis gave the Russians a problem! Go ahead and try it. Canada has repulsed American attacks in 1779, 1812 and 1865(Feinian raids)! History has proven that we have handed the americans their @ss back to them 3 times in the past. Not only that we are the reason that you call your Presidents residence the "White House".

I have the opportunity to work with scientists that worked with Dr Bull, they are remarkable people.

Since the best people Canada ever produced departed there a LONG time ago and settled in south Louisiana, maybe this should just be moved to the Humor Section. I mean, other than an abunmdance of light geese, what does Canada have that we ever really wanted to fight over? I doubt if it is all of that corn grown in the shield area. lol

I got it: topless equality in adults of both sexes. I'd fight for that! :bow01:

I'll second that Canadians are fine people. No Canadian jokes unless you want to talk about Bullwinkle.

I live in Alberta, we are the province that the state of Texas has wet dreams over. You haven't seen oil, like the stockpile we have! Not only that we have more firearms per capita than any other!

I'm already in heaven.

And stoplights mounted sideways.

Everyone should watch 'Canadian Bacon' at least once. It's probably the funniest movie John Candy ever made.

Alan Alda plays a US president who's falling in the polls so he needs to distract the America public. So, he tries to instigate a war - with Canada (they are close and convenient). They call it 'A Line in the Snow'.

At one point the ultra-patriotic American milita guys, whipped into a frenzy by the news and the President's rhetoric, are on their own private raid into Canada, in a stolen Canadian garbage truck that they spray painted in anti-Canadian graffiti, when a Canadian cop (Dan Ackroyd) pulls them over. They are sweating bullets, but he simply writes them a ticket for having their graffiti only in English and not bilingual in French as the law requires.

That law is only in effect in Quebec though!

I did meet Bull many years ago pn Project Harp which used a smppthnored 16 inch 50 caliber naval gun tp fire projectiles weoghong a few hundred pounds at extremely high velocities. Bull was a brilliant man who was almost obssesed with nuilding super guns.

Too bad he went to work for the Iraqis, but we got him for that.

You dork, when he was hit, the iraqi's were your friends!

Yeah, he was. Many people seem to forget that. Before he invaded Kuwait, he even asked the US ambassador what the US would do if he did that, and the US ambassador said, "That's your business."

I remember the statement from a US official in Iraq during the 1980's, "With all of the gear we've supplied these guys with, they should be directing traffic in Tehran by now."
