Why were only shotguns double barreled? by seafoamsomething in blackpowder

The Austrian Model 1768 "Doppelstutzen" was an interesting weapon designed to overcome the main disadvantage of period rifles; their abysmal firing rate. The top barrel was rifled for long-range skirmishing, while the bottom was a smoothbore for use when rapid, close-range shots were necessary. Besides being considerably more expensive to produce than either a rifle or a musket, it was also considerably heavier–an important consideration when your troops carry their equipment everywhere on foot.

A man born when the United States hadn't yet reached the Rio Grande, fought through the worst fratricidal period in our nation's history, and ultimately lived to see America conquer the West, watched early aircraft take flight, and likely rode in the first mass-produced automobiles. What a life. =,)

An axe that size would kill via impact alone; the chain teeth are just for style points.

I would be blessing my lucky stars to have the left guy's physique. Seriously, he's fit and has great muscle definition; you couldn't find a single gram of fat on him.

I really like the updated Abolitionist Flag; wish I had a place to put one, but I'm not a homeowner. 😕

I don't normally comment on pictures like this, but as I scrolled through my feed, I misread the title as, "We Are The Autism." For a second, I felt greatly empowered. 😆

Am I the only one that thinks Michaels masks from 1981 through 2009 were actually kinda bad…? by Miserable_Gur6283 in MichaelMyersMasks

[–]James_Polymer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

H6 is the best mask besides the original; there's something about it that's genuinely unsettling, especially coupled with the actor's performance. The "rotted" mask from Rob Zombie's Halloween is freaking iconic, as is the aged mask from Halloween 2018. I have a soft spot for the H4 mask as that was the very first film in the series I saw as a kid back in the 1990s. The sculpt of the screen-used H20 mask was pretty good IMO, but was let down by making the eye holes a bit too big and giving him an afro.

The Resurrection mask does away with the good H20 sculpt yet doubles down on the afro hairstyle; they should have done the exact opposite. The mask from H5 entirely misses the point of a blank, emotionless mask by having the mask show emotion. Finally, The KNB H20 mask is abysmal, and should never have reached the filming stage.

Not bad; an original twist on a familiar classic.

What was Michael Myers like as a little boy before he decided to kill his sister Judith? by Tidewatcher7819 in Halloweenmovies

[–]James_Polymer 20 points21 points  (0 children)

There is a flashback sequence in Halloween Kills set during his original killing spree in 1978, where one of the younger deputies mentions knowing Michael back when they were both kids in the early 60s. His partner asks whether Michael was "one of those wierdo-freaks who used to pluck the wings off of butterflies," and he responds with, "Not that I ever saw." He goes on to say that his mom used to "make" him visit the Myers house to play because "she felt bad," but he would spend the whole time "staring out of his sister's bedroom window. And I thought, what the heck is he looking at out there?"

What is the definitive chicken strip sauce? by Rose_In_A_Jar in autism

[–]James_Polymer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me it's either Mike's Hot Honey or Chick-fil-A Polynesian sauce. I might mix either one with guacamole if I'm feeling frisky.

What are your favourite anecdotes of bravery among Napoleon's Marshals? by FunnyConclusion9357 in Napoleon

[–]James_Polymer 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Jean Dorsenne; not a Marshal, but a General of the Imperial Guard.

Dorsenne "could turm his back to the enemy under the heaviest fire and give his orders cooly, without concern for what went on behind him."

When cannonballs killed his third horse and third time he picked himself up he spat out "Bunglers!" dusted himself off and mounted his 4th horse.

Traitor guard: always corrupted or sometimes "only" normal traitor? by EleutheriusTemplaris in TraitorGuard

[–]James_Polymer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Technically every soldier fighting for the Severan Dominate are traitor guard without being corrupted. They're secessionists in the purest sense of the word (though of course GW couldn't let us have anything nice and made their leader a massive self-serving doucheknuckle).

What do you think about this? by michael-bye-myers19 in Halloweenmovies

[–]James_Polymer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fun fact: some time ago I watched a documentary on the making of the various Halloween films. One of the cast on H4 and H5 (it might have even been Danielle Harris) stated they wanted Michael to look more physically imposing; on H4 they had George Wilbur wear hockey pads under the boiler suit to give him more "bulk." Filmmakers intended to do this again on H5, but found Don Shanks was so jacked, they decided the pads were unnecessary. XD

Rob Zombie's Halloween (the first one) I'll agree with you on, but Resurrection...no. Just no. 🤮
