Save for the 30/30 cartridge. What cartridge has killed more white tail deer than any other????

I would assume it's the .22lr. I had always heard the .30-30 had Wounded more deer than any other round, and killed some alone the way out of pure luck.

That's probably a good guess, but I never considered the shotgun shell a "cartridge" in the strictest sense. My guess would be the ubiquitous 30/06.

.30-06, or .270 Win both make sense, do to life starting pre-WWI and remaining very popular today. .45-70 started at the generation as the .30-30, but isn't very popular in modern times; .44-40 too. .308 and 7mm both got late starts in the 1950s

At one time it was the most popular cartridge in the western USA.

Why was it the most popular????

Question that I do not know the answer to.

"Winchester 44" or the .44-40, popular because it could be fired in a pistol or rifle so cowboys only had to carry one size cartridges.

Yep you nailed it. After I almost told what it was.

Colt single action revolvers had a weak point. Many people had or carried a spare.

Not talking about the problem with black powder & weakness from to white powder.

What was it?????

Well everyone knows saturn of course.. but maybe also Jupiter, Uranus, and Neptune I think have some rings.

What was the design defect in the MIG15 that when discovered allowed American fighter pilots to achieve a higher kill ratio against the Communist aircraft.

Hint: it had nothing to do with the aircraft's performance specs.

Bad ergonomics, comfort and lack of AC and heating. It was hard if impossible to control at high speed in example during diving.

Rings a bell. I also seem to recall that it was, or could become, uncontrollable in a dive. The Japanese Zero had a similar handicap. I believe a defector delivered an intact MIG 15 which we were able to evaluate. We acquired a Zero that had crash landed, put it back in flying condition for evaluation in a similar manner.

 

[RSKY]

If the American pilots could lure or force the MIGs to dive their canopies would fog up cutting the pilots vision. The anti-fog system did not work well. Sometimes this didn't work but mostly it did. MIGs once had a fearsome reputation but now are considered very unsafe, hard to fly, and unreliable.

What was the "Bombard"???

 

[RSKY]

Wasn't the Bombard a crude mortar that threw rocks?

On or about the year 1953, a fellow by the name of Art Afrons constructed a six-wheeled vehicle powered by a 12 cylinder Allison aircraft engine. What was this vehicle designed for and what was its name?

Art Afrons (and his brother Walt) was into land speed records and his vehicles were usually called Green Monster.

It was a 2 piece cannon that screwed together. The rear held the gun powder. The front was loaded with 300lb round rock balls.
It had great range & power for its day.
