    It started a few years earlier, at the battle of Agincourt 1415 English archers recovered their arrows from the enemy positions and their bodies! Those arrows don't make themselves!

    Nice to see Uncle Sams troops making the most of a good opportunity.

    Agincourt

    Maybe the most lop-sided victory in military history.

    Polish 7,92x107mm and the early panzers

    The Polish developed 7,92x107 mm anti tank cartridge used a 245 gr lead steel jacket bullet fired at 4,180 FPS (barrel life about 300 rounds). The Polish designed bolt action rifle KB wz 35 fired this cartridge, rifle weight was 22 lbs. This cartridge was able to penetrate the Panzer I, Panzer II and Panzer III.
