Panzerknacker. I wouldn’t write it if it didn’t apply to me equally as I apply it to others. You should know me well enough (well as can be expected through the medium of the internet) to know I am pretty fair on such matters.
Where did I post idiocy? I pointed out that in my believe the equipment shown did not exist, and was photoshoped. Hardly idiocy, but my opinion. If it now shown to be wrong, then so be it, it is wrong. As I say, I have a number of years experience working with Guns and Tanks in Germany, and have never seen this equipment. Even now it looks wrong.
As mentioned, why would Germans require this kit to fire on ranges that Americans and British (even Dutch) also fire on? An above source claims Mappen is 2Km away from habitation, yet there are other ranges in Germany just as close, where this equipment isn’t used. And like I say, the required safety equipment for firing in Germany is not fitted. This is required on British Guns firing in Germany (not when they are in Canada, UK or elsewhere) also. Introduced after a German Gun lobbed a Blue shot (thankfully) in to a Supermarket Car park in the late '80s.
It is hardly idiocy on my behalf. I also don’t tend to put alot of faith in to forums, after all if you did, you could now be believing me rather than George. George, that is why I didn’t put too much credit in the way of the strategy pages.
Panzerknacker, don’t be such a prat.
If you look back through my posts you will find other posts of mine where I have apologised where wrong. So in keeping with my general attitude of if I am wrong I admit it, I will apolgise to George, as this indeed appears to be an actual equipment.
However, I am still puzzled as to why I have never seen one, nor ever used one. And will be looking in to it further.
As for accusing a Moderator of posting rubbish. I personanly beleive a Mod is just as capable of posting rubbish as any other user on this site. A mod does not have access to any greater info on these forums, and stands just as much chance of posting myth or falsehood as anyone else.
Glad to see in my absense your sense of self worth is still based on your “rank” on an internet web site. And that your general overiding attitudes have remained unchanged.
So for the record.
To George Eller. I am sorry for doubting your word over the matter. If it makes any difference, I didn’t even know you were a Moderator.
To Panzerknacker. Get a life, prat.
No doubt you will award me some points for calling you a prat now.
By the way, you don’t seem to have commented on my previous post on silencers (bottom of the first page). Any help to you? Or were you just intent on haveing a pop?
And it was an opinion regarding what was said, not a personal slight against George’s character, and the remark was made in connection to his post…
