Inability to deploy a MANPADS during military exercises
W
Did they forget to take the lense cap off?
S
Probably no one ever noticed it but damn its embarrassing every time it happens…
H
You mean you’ve survived more than one of these types of mishaps? Can you buy me a lottery ticket?
D
Why? They used up all their luck surviving said mishaps
S
>every time it happens I say if that happens more than twice you add some sort of imbecile protection to the device
B
A trigger interlock on the cap would be easy to add.
D
Probably some number cruncher decide the cost of an interlock was more that the cost of a soldier.
T
Ok Sgt Bilko
U
You’re joking but people are taking you seriously 😂 To everyone else: no, the cap is not actually strong enough to prevent the ordinance from launching.
S
> ordinance \*eye twitches*
U
Sorry, ordnance. They’re pronounced the same way so what I type isn’t always exactly right.
S
English is a dumb language.
M
It sounds perfectly ordnary to me.
S
Well played.
D
TIL that some people pronounce them the same.
C
Because it’s a French word, that we spell with an extra N and took from Latin. To command.
A
Huh, I never knew about that. I don’t think I’ve ever seen the meaning for ordinance before, so I didn’t even know there _were_ two words to confuse.
C
As a retired aviation ordnanceman, I appreciate this comment.
C
Retired then worked for the City giving out Ordinances?
C
Posting them in neighborhoods so people know.
C
No, no. That “i” isn’t twitching. It’s stuck there good and fast, right whiere it doesint beloing.
T
And surely the tube cap wouldn’t allow the seeker to get a lock, right?
C
Not entirely sure that one had a lock either.
G
Guy just didn’t hold on tight enough.
M
Cadet is a butterfinger
W
Looks like Team Rocket’s blasting off again.
M
When you reverse it, its pretty impressive that he’s able to catch it.
B
Ya gotta catch em all
C
Page 34, paragraph two article 14.b clearly states never to operate with melted butter on your hand.
C
But there was buttered sweet corn in the chow hall for lunch
K
Ah fort Knox boys I see
S
Seems like they should‘ve applied the melted butter to the inside of the Tube instead of the outside
S
But but but https://www.survivalsupplies.com.au/mre-pack-butter-chicken?gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=21804459108&gbraid=0AAAAA-WNFzbVypv0xPPqH6reFvyxL_2lM&gclid=CjwKCAjwi4PHBhA-EiwAnjTHubRRiYrYHkpQIVURKnKJFQlxDZGNabT8dj0owHEdV_KIWmqRyGXugRoCzQYQAvD_BwE

The launch tube is meant to stay behind right?
Q
Yes. The first blast you see should force the rocket out of the tube. And the second blast seen later should accelerate the rocket towards the target. But for some reason, the rocket ended up stuck in the tube so that first blast ripped the tube out of his hands.
A
Yeah, a lot of people seem to believe he wasn’t holding it properly and let go, resulting in the misfire. But it looks like it fired incorrectly.
Q
Yes, the design is intended to be basically zero recoil. Rocket pushed forward while first fire burst jumps out the back. Just that the rocket never got out, so that first fire burst got converted into a huge recoil.
P
Since it went the opposite direction to typical recoil, would this be a case of decoil?
P
This is more like firing the whole bullet, including the casings. Although this fires the whole gun too
3
that’s 65% more bullet per bullet!
J
Cave Johnson, is that you?!
P
These dudes have gotten it up to maybe 1000% more bullet per bullet!
K
I think it’s just the coil part.
S
This is an experimental model that fires the entire weapon, launcher and all. That’s 65% more weapon!
W
Probably the last time this guy wants to use a Tediore branded man-portable from Borderlands.
T
I as hoping so see cave johnson
T
Wars are too expensive. To save money the entire thing launches itself to the enemy, then the enemy gets to fire it the other way. Back and forth. Forever.
D
Multi-Impact Kinetic Weapons System™️ That’ll be six billion dollars, please 🫴
S
Nah, he was supposed to hold on and ride into the sunset
N
What are you doing step-launch tube?
