Didn't have a single fact right, but slapped it into print just the same.
That's some editor!
I had one. It was tough but very inaccurate past 25 meters. After firing 1,000 rounds I sold it. Kicked like an SOB.
And blitzkrieg. BMWs, Porsche, rockets, etc.
We had Tommy guns in the 20s. The Gatling gun in the late 1800s. Weapons continue to progress.
I believe the AK was developed by the soviets to wound more soldiers than kill, needing two soldiers to carry the wounded to care...
ICBM, but I think it’s the case.
Let’s see:
Fanta soft drinks
High-speed limited access highways
Modern Color film by Agfa
audio and video tape by BASF
Jegermeister
Resin based particle board invented by Luftwaffe pilot
Programmable Z1 computer using floating point arithmetic
Why is it that the press quickly releases the type and manufacturer of the weapons used by these murderers?

The press is providing recommendations to future murderers.
I sometimes used to refer to my VW bug as my Strength-through-Joy Wagon. Nobody got it.

Whenever leftist Liberals talk about firearms or religion they invariable show abject ignorance.
I believe I read somewhere that Eisenhower wanted the U.S. Interstate system built. It was patterned after the German autobahn road system.
KDF wagon.
I found a great book on the VW company called “Small Wonder”
by Walter Henry Nelson. Published in 1970. Goes though a lot of Ferry Porsche’s troubles trying to get someone to accept his designs.
You expect them to be truthful. They do not.
Perhaps you could post an analogous English system caliber in a common round.
Interesting to know about the 8mm. Were they ammunition left over from WWI?
