claimed to have a rate of fire of 500rpm
more like 300 with the downgraded ammo we used.
it was actually ammo for the Browning 9mm pistol, and the adf at the time preferred to have only one grade of 9mm ammo.
if you fired a single shot you could actually feel and hear the working parts moving back and forward
possibly ok at close quarter fighting but useless on the range , I don't think you could chase down a fig11 target at 300mtrs
Trivia but not Trivial? At 300mtrs you might not hit what you aimed at but you would hit something [biggrin][biggrin][biggrin]Quote:

My 1966 Pamphlet #4A for the F1 says 650 rounds per minute
Same sound with the SLR with one's lughole up against the Stock. "CLANG CLANG" but I guess it had to Reload somehow. Maybe the bits could have been made from rubber? [bigrolf]

Tossed him in the Shark tank and Melbourne Aquarium. The Leopard shark was like a golden retriever. They moved his tail by hand to allow the rest of us to move past. I got knocked by a few larger fish. 23 degree water was the warmest water I have dived in in several years!
The sharks name is Leo by the way. Another trivia was one of the Dive instructors had done close to as many hours underwater as I have. He started in 1976 so got a 8 year head start as well. Only
fish I did not see was the 350kg QLD gopper. "Giant Grouper or Queensland Grouper can grow longer than 3.5m and weigh up to 400kg! These giant fish are ambush predators who swallow their prey whole and will literally eat anything that fits into their mouths."
Given that trivia that I might almost fit in his mouth and that I have met several in Northern water dives perhaps it was ok he hid in a cave. A video of him in 2012 when he was a LOT smaller and (not me in the water in 2102)[biggrin]

Im good with Crayfish, abalone and scallops only these days Des. The H.E. and and me are explosive [biggrin] Another bit of Trivia is clear in the photo. My HUGE head is not contained in normal dive hoods. I saw a few other photos of my very pale and exposed forehead display no one else could match. I think I mentioned before no one could borrow my hat. It fell over their eyes- BIG BOOF[biggrin]Quote:

Nope just Guinness World Record: Man rides 38 miles in giant pumpkin
That he grew a massive pumpkin is trivia enough. To paddle it 38 miles was due to "He grew the 846lb (384kg) pumpkin in his garden with the aim to beat the 25.5 mile record, set in 2018" I missed the 2018 trip [biggrin]
