I was only 26/30. Not so good on the names of things.

Princip's pistol was confiscated by the authorities and eventually given, along with the Archduke's bloody undershirt,
to Anton Puntigam, a Jesuit priest who was a close friend of the Archduke and had given the Archduke and his wife the
last rites. The pistol and shirt remained in the possession of the Austrian Jesuits until they were offered on
long-term loan to the Museum of Military History in Vienna in 2004.
It is now part of the permanent exhibition there. The weapon is a 9-mm "9 short", .380 ACP pistol FN Browning Model 1910
made in Belgium by Fabrique Nationale d'Herstal with the serial number 19074

Couple years ago found a British WWII flamethrower at the landfill, these were nick named lifebuoy. The round canister was nitrogen filled, the napalm as it exited the nozzle was ignited via platinum filaments heated via a battery pack.
Spare platinum filaments were stored inside the flame thrower handle near the business end the cap screws off.
The one I found was the same model as the one shown below.

Missed three. One that threw me was on the significant use of aircraft... I beg to differ with the their answer.

That is a heck of a landfill find! That is worth some money to the right folks.

I got 29 out of 30. The one I missed was the Italian one which was poorly written. The answer to the question regarding the Cold War is arguable but I knew what the test writer wanted. :laughing:

Got em all but I wonder how many some of today's campus snowflakes could muster. My guess would be few, very few.

Same here. I pondered that question awhile and could not twist "significant" into the use in WWI. Fighters?...maybe, there were a bunch. Bombers? Not all that many and damage pretty minimal. I chose WWII but was betting they wanted WWI.
