From Tam:(Speaking of trhe invention of the liquid fueled rocket)
In their adorable Teutonic way, the Germans saw the new technology and almost immediately went to work figuring out a way to use it to blow people up.
Go. RTWT. And then educate yourself about Project Paperclip
Today at the range, I brought my closest friend, his brother, and his brother’s son, to the range. 
Partner’s brother, (left) Partner(center) and Partner’s nephew (right).
The brother and the nephew are newbies, and I’ve had the pleasure of accompanying them both for their first range visits. The brother is now working on HIS collection, and already has two pistols of which I’m jealous; his son had enough fun shooting that when we suggested a trip Friday, he said “PLEASE” for perhaps the first time in his life.
Side note: the kid has been known to be a malingerer and ne’er do well for a while, but at the range, he LISTENED, he did as he was TOLD, he acted with perfect range ettiquette, and obeyed all the rules. Even his father was surprised. May be hope for the boy yet.
Much splodey goodness. Shot the 45. The 45 Colt. The K31. The Winchester. Partner’s new Smith & Wesson 1911. Partner’s new Henry Yellow Boy 22 lever (droooooool) Partner’s brother’s new Browning 380 ACP. (drooool)
Spent. Tired. Happy. Sleep now. Clean guns in morning. More news then.
