the blunderbess (blunderbuss) as eye candy and some history

H/T Military Factory.com

I think this may turn out to be one of those busy blog days due to unexpected finds. Funny how that works.

I came across what I thought was an interesting article in one of our morning papers.  Had to do with the Kalashnikov of much fame. A new version of which I’ll post soon. 

Somehow and I don’t even know how, I found myself HERE, at military factory dot com. And proceeded to lose myself among all their interesting articles on weapons and history of same and of course, photos. Lots of those.  I LOVE this site, and have already learned quite a bit.

So, before I knew it, I (temporarily) abandoned the Kalashnikov story to post this. And there’s tons more at Military Factory.
Unfortunately, the web site made it impossible for me to do a normal copy/paste routine. So I did a screen shot and can only hope it plays well on your computer.
If I’ve managed to foul things up, just go the link above. It really is a good site for info and education about weapons and war and things military etc.

Due to the screen shot for the text, I am unable to move things around easily but it’s still readable. I hope.

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:

1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
