    Funny thing every eye is different I find arms development quite interesting to follow I guess cases like the Gatling gun look how it morphed into the mini gun of today, The Paris cannon in WWI, Gustav - Dora 80cm rail guns WWII, the MP-40 that could shoot round corners in WWII originally designed so the tankers could sweep the tank decks free of Russianicon tank destroying infantry I mean the Germans in WWII also had the first anti ship rocket launched from a submerged U-Boat, radio controlled rocket powered aerial anti shipping bomb, the WWII magnetic, acoustic, Magnetic/Acoustic, then there was the WWII Germanicon George mine with the first printed electric boards inside plus photo electric sells in the tail the only way into the mine the aerial German mines dropped on Britainicon on it goes. I guess there are times when the armourers among the fraternity cursed the inventors of the weapons but how they design them is quite fascinating.
    Bit like a car I suppose throw the motor on the ground then build the car around it with scant regard for the poor mechanic who has to work on the thing later.

    I could have looked at the Vickers for hours BD6
