#history #firearms #guns #matchlock

A fun example of the nuttier examples of bespoke gunsmitthing in the renaissance/very early modern era. This is an 8 shot matchlock, with 8 chambers in succession with 8 pans. The serpentine is connected to a slide where one pulls it back to fire each chamber.

Some of my mother's fine cooking for example (though this was whole wheat penne).

Also plea bargains when you sell all of your co conspirators downriver, in this case literally, always feel a disgusting practice by law even if it *sometimes* achieves good ends taking out organized crime.

While I no longer spend as much time as I did as a kid angsting over how bad the modern historical film industry is, looking at the absolute state of that Odyssey movie's costumes annoys me over how it pales to reality. A proper Troy era film would be a sight to see.

But what if the wages go up by an incredible .5% with a 100 dollar Christmas bonus?

They feel like they should be immediately contemporary to the Empire as they always have these full anatomical cuirasses, advanced helmets, etc. And Sigmar's barbarian tribes didn't have the same level of wargear either so who the hell were these dudes and where did they get their gear from.

Damn dude you've got me wanting to pull out my PS2 now. Best game console and best era of console games ever, IMO. So many titles on one system, so many original titles too, and some of the best movie games to ever come out. Revenge of the Sith the game would be #4 if Battlefront didn't eek it out.

Due process is a spook. The vigilante is as entitled to kill as the state.

Source from the Cut, but I don't even comprehend this mental process. The fuck you reach the conclusion that color coordinating fights power?
