The British bouncing bomb. The goal was to develop a weapon that skipped over water and breach German dams during WW2. It was used successfully. Here it is being tested for spin, speed, and release height.

NEW: Underwater IED detonated after it was found at an Alabama reservoir that is the sole drinking water source for about 350,000 people. The bomb was reportedly discovered during routine maintenance. Mobile Area Water and Sewer System (MAWSS) Director Bud McCrory says the discovery is "an unprecedented threat" to the drinking water. "We are fortunate that this device was discovered before it could cause serious damage to our water supply or harm to individuals," he said. The bomb is being described as a "grenade-type IED" and was detonated with help from personnel with the FBI Bomb Squad. MAWSS is currently investigating when and how the bomb got into the reservoir. Wild.

Footage of the Germans testing out their version of the British bouncing bomb - yes, they added rockets. The "Kurt" SB 800 RS, seen here, was a spherical, rocket-propelled bomb designed to bounce over the surface of the water. Despite building 560 it never saw combat.👀

this spin was officially banned for being too dangerous due to the extreme speed it generates. She included it in her ice skating routine anyway and won

An interesting shot of release mechanism and then impact of a British "Highball" bomb while being tested on land at Ashley Walk Range in New Forest, England in 43/44. This bouncing bomb, unlike "Upkeep - damn buster", was for use against ships (same designer, Barnes Wallis).👀

I will now release and authenticate video of a Programmed Life Form, or PLF. When this was leaked it was alleged that this was an extra terrestrial, I can tell you that it is NOT. This is one of the PLF's that will be used during the fake Alien Invasion that's coming.

They say: “It’s a CQB gun, that’s why you have a 4.1” height over bore optic. Just know your hold over.” We say: Having to calculate that hold over at speed is slow for anybody, including the guy who designed it as shown in the video below. Lower height over bore is better for speed and accuracy in CQB and thereby across carbine gunfighting ranges.

The flechette munition was used primarily during WW1 contrary to this claim, however, it did lead to the invention of the cluster munitions first used during WW2. The cluster munition was used in carpet bombing with each munition being armed and detonated separately. This lead to the 2010 creation of the Convention of Cluster Munitions (124 countries) to ban its use during war time due to some bombs not exploding and ending up like a landmine or being indiscriminate in the target area. Did you know that Russia, nor the USA never joined the CCV? Peace through strength. 💪 💣

US "Amazon" variant of the British "Grand Slam" earthquake bomb dropped by B-29s on reinforced U-boat pens in Germany during post-war trials full clip: The Valentin submarine pens are a reinforced concrete facility on the Weser River at the Bremen suburb of Rekum, built to protect German U-boats during World War II. The factory was under construction from 1943 to March 1945 using forced labor, but was damaged by air-raids and unfinished by the end of the war. The Valentin factory was the largest fortified U-boat facility in Germany, and was second only to those built at Brest in France. After the war, the facility was used as a target for Project Ruby, a series of joint British and American tests to determine the viability of various munitions against reinforced concrete targets. It had been hit by British "Tallboy" and "Grand Slam" earthquake bombs during a raid on March 27th 1945 and one of the weapons tested in 1947 was "Amazon", the US variant of the 22,000 lb "Grand Slam" that weighed in at 25,000 lbs and was dropped by B-29 Superfortress bombers flying from RAF Marham in England. Fifteen such inert bombs were dropped from 17,000 feet and of these two hits were obtained on the thinner roof section that was approximately 15 feet thick. #grandslam #barneswallis #bunkerbuster #earthquakebomb #ww2 #wwii

🇬🇭 “The Ghana Police did it, if you have an issue, go and tell them.” — Ralph DefellowGhanaian, clashed with a woman over a rope being used as a speed ramp. According to him, it was inappropriate to use a rope for that purpose and insisted it be removed. The woman, however, maintained that the Ghana Police Service had put it there ahead of a funeral. Despite her explanation, Ralph De went ahead to remove the rope, arguing that it could damage the road.

A vintage look at the Martin B-10 bomber that entered service in June 1934. It was the first all metal monoplane bomber to be regularly used by the USAAC. The B-17 took over it's roll before it saw much action in WW2 however it was used by China in the Sino-Japanese war.🫡

Jasmine Crockett: "The knife used my Karmelo Anthony was more like a little army knife. It was not a deadly weapon." If the weapon was enough to kill him then it’s a deadly weapon.

The last time the U.S. military set foot in Iran: "It was a mistake that was our fault and we apologize for our mistake. It was a misunderstanding. We did not mean to go into Iranian territorial water. The Iran behavior was fantastic while we were here. We thank you very for your hospitality and your assistance."
