The rate of fire seems to be coming in at the low end of spec. So I'll call a cease fire at 0200, Mariupol time.

It was obvious that the first prototype of the 50mm Scrote Gun needed a different mounting method of the recoil counterweight.

Thanks to all the entrants for doing so well with an image I pulled rather hastily. (I originally planned to use something from the trove of WWII Red Army photos Nutloose clued us into a few months ago. But the heroic style strikes a somewhat different chord these days . . .)

Luckily, Ascend Charlie provided an antidote, taking third place with: "Come on, Igor! That nuclear reactor is ENORMOUS and you still can't hit it!"

In second is 622, with "For God's sake Hoskins ....its just a spider!." (Mine would have been along vaguely similar lines -- It was well known in the regiment: When VonHoskins was behind an MG, there was only one safe place.)

And if only by sheer weight of fire, Kiltrash was bound to win, taking the trophy with: "While everyone was engrossed in the action no one spotted Oliver moving silently through the crowd."


Congratulations, Kiltrash! I'll deliver the trophy as soon as 622 strikes off my shackles.

Many thanks Chu Chu. All see what you can make of this meeting that never took place. We need to send someone to the Tower to free the incarcerated one...
