Before I put these bloody fuel tanks back in I want to know their weight in kilos.

Now this has to be the hijack of all thread hijacks.

And somehow I don't mind...

Imperial measurements are definitely more interesting than the weight of a P-39's fuel tanks.

Does anyone know the dimensions and weights of a 0.3" bullet in barleycorns grains and scruples?

You mean like 40D-26-32 figures?

Not the same in metric is it, in France and Germany many still give the weight of a baby in pounds because in metric 3 kilos sounds weak.

Beats the hell out of rehashing that clunky P-39 business, sorry, a little cranky after helping pbehn offload, onload rinse repeat the armor and guns on our test Cobra...

Oiy, me achin' back...

 

[Peter Gunn]

Are y'all using the rules from Beta Antares or just the simplified ones that Kirk was using?

- Spork.

I usually use the simplified Kirk rules, (hey it IS Captain Kirk after all) but in this instance, I believe the Beta Antares full rules should be in effect.

AP, Ball, Tracer or incendiary?

AP, Ball, Tracer or incendiary?

I don't really know, but they are all good names for Imperial units anyway, 4 scruples = 1 incendiary 1 ball = 17 barleycorns

But how many incendiaries in a ball?

 

[pbehn]

But how many incendiaries in a ball?

Square root(Incendiary-ball)=AP

I get the incendiary, ball and barleycorns... what the hell's a scruple?

Is that what they were, we used them as a spacer.

Great, well, you're driving to the 'Gentlemen's Club' then for beers after we lug those damn guns and armor... wait, are we putting that stuff back in or taking it out?
