My dad made those in the war. My mum was on munitions. I like to think that maybe some of his guns fired some of her shells at the enemy. |

Not accurate but, with enough barrels and enough shells in the air: "Quantity takes on a quality of its own," as a Russian general once observed. Barry |

40mm ammunition in a metal-link belt? Yikes, that's a bit of weight for the loaders! As a bit of side-interest (what the heck, its video of gunners in warships after all), check out the guys learning how to operate the battleship optical rangefinder at about 10:25 in the video. -Mark
