There were a lot of spare barrels in the past, but IIRC, a lot of them were utilized to dispose of high level rad waste by filling them and welding the ends closed.

I think a few were used in the testing efforts to make deep penetration gravity bombs too...

Cool. I like this one better. The whole movie in 5 minutes 35 seconds.

“They” are getting awfully close to taking the guns off fighters a second time. Even those fighters most recently designed to carry cannon have precious few cannon rounds. It’s now truly a last-ditch weapon for these planes.

Apparently, the brand-new Zumwalt and the remaining DDs of its class are similarly useless, since that's their primary mission. At least the battleships might survive a counter-attack.

Just won the thread.
