  1. LOL. Brilliant. Let us know what, if anything, is said by your co-workers, boss, os vending machine guy.
  2. No new screenies this week. But this wallpaper is pretty damn cool. (Check out the balloon in the background)
  3. Dubbo

    joke

    LOL. Good ones guys
  4. Yeah. Great aren't they. I didn't post a link to them before because of their er.....idiosynchrasies. I too am really looking forward to playing this one
  5. I really need that eye bleach
  6. For F***s sake stop posting here because I keep having to come back and I forget about that picture :pukeright:
  7. Oooh...yeah mate I'll sign up for a copy of the book. I have Flyboys and that was a really good read.
  8. Been waiting for this. First time I've seen the trailer. Looks really top-shelf and should be, with Squinty Clint at the helm.
  9. Actaully mate, I thought it stayed on page 1 for a while, thanks to Beebop and Waldo. Nice of you to throw those screenies up. Thanks
  10. New ones. Lookey...... They even have outriggers for it.
  11. Yeah, we had the Webley and Enfield revolver as well as a locally manufactured copy called a HAC revolver. (Made by a farm equipment company - Howard Auto Cultivator in NSW). This pic is of the .38 HAC revolver, a copy of the Enfield Mk2, which was a copy of the Webley Mk IV And yes, I love the Thompson too (Fired one a couple of years back) Nothing like loosing a torrent of .45s towards your foe huh? My favourite from WW2 though still has to be the MP-38/40s. To me they epitomize the sub-machine gun.
  12. Nice mate. Was it not roped off or did you jump the barricade? Zeus hates it when I touch stuff like that........ You should have heard the ear-bashing I got for licking the Memphis Belle
  13. You forgot the floats dealing with poisonous platypus, man-eating crocodiles, deadly box-jellyfish & cassowaries. There's a whole lot more that can kill you but I don't want to scare off tourism :wink:
  14. As for the cool hats.............yeah Also we loved the Owen that much, they featured in a X-mas day parade in Sydney in 1942 You know for an isolated country with a small population we have been forced to come up with some interesting stop-gap measures.
  15. Ah the Owen (You get one as a player in "Bushpigs") Sighting??? Carl? Australians sighting a submachine gun?? Seriously though, they were designed to be fired from the hip and like most sub-machine guns, accuracy didn't suffer for it. Additionally,due to the top mounted magazine, fixed sights were offset to the left. One advantage to having the magazine on top was it allowed you to lay on the ground and fire from a lower profile. The Sten had this advantage though without drawing attention to your position with the magazine towering over your position Although quite large and bulky, the Owen was a first-class gun and very popular with those who used it.It stood up well to the hard conditions of jungle fighting and stoppages were remarkably rare. Its two outstanding features were the top mounted magazine -- a feature rarely seen on submachine-guns since the Villar Perosa -- and the provision of a separate bolt compartment inside the receiver so that the bolt was isolated from its retracting handle by a small bulkhead, through which passed the small diameter bolt. This ensured that dirt and mud did not jam the bolt and it was highly successful, although expensive in terms of space. Two other unusual mechanical features: the ejector is built into the magazine rather than into the gun body, and the barrel is rapidly removable by pulling up on a spring-loaded plunger just ahead of the magazine housing. Mk 01 Mk 02 It's an ugly weapon but quite a good one. Reliable as hell.
  16. Pray and spray baby. That's how we do every war.
  17. Roy Brown...Ha! You know the truth.
  18. http://www.redbaron-themovie.com/ This looks a lot better than that Lafayette Escodrill one. Even without a trailer
  19. Thanks for all the response guys. As a mission builder (and I think I can speak for some of the others) it can be am often thankless task. Reading the appreciative comments here from you blokes helps make it worthwhile.
  20. Is that the company boat??
  21. No problem mate. I hope you enjoy. My biggest problem with both campaigns was the AI wingies. They need to survive until I kill them off in the story line. That doesn't always happen. You should be able to survive with minimal damage as long as you watch yourself.
