And his ghost may be heard if you pass by that billabong
"Who'll come a Waltzing Matilda with me?"

Yep, very cool and pretty amazing.

Always loved that quote from a general watching an attack there:

"Gallant fellows those infantry, they always seem to go for the thickest part of the fence". Probably not word for word as it's from memory but, the point is right on.

Look for me on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook or Tic Toc...or anywhere you may frequent, besides SimHq, on the Global Scam Net. Aka, the internet.
I am not there, never have been or ever will be, but the fruitless search may be more gratifying then the "content" you might otherwise be exposed to.

Vienna, 2nd rock left.
Not to take away from the impact of the pic, but last I read about it the idea seems that one of those bullets was in a bandolier and not in flight.

Still pretty cool.

You could be right RSC, I notice that only one bullet shows rifling marks.

Cool article about this very thing.

http://thefunnybeaver.com/did-these-two-bullets-collide-midair/

If any of ya'll have ever been in the military for any length of time, this is one of the obligatory conversations you will have with your fellow soldiers. The other ones are: How to kill a huge monster i.e. Godzilla, King Kong and Why is it that fighter pilots always HAVE to fly close enough to King Kong that they ALWAYS get smashed.

Also, how to take down a drug dealers house and take the money to fund your vigilante squad.

As tankers, our Go-To conversations was how to destroy an aircraft carrier with a tank platoon; First, we lay in wait in the Panama/Suez Canal, then we engage with AP rounds along the waterline.
