Private Ryan Scene

[colmbo]

Never seen one fired, but I gather it drops down the tube and hits a firing pin at the bottom, that activates a primer in the shell, that ignites the propellent.

What confuses me is first, if you are just hitting the tail against a flat surface, how would that activate the primer.  And if the primer goes off, wouldn't that activate the propellent.

In other words, if slapping it down activated the primer, wouldn't it blast out of the persons hand when the propellent was ignited.

Must be that slapping it down somehow arms the fuse for the explosive and not the propellent.

The last thing I'd want is to ignite the primer on a mortar round I have in my hand...the holder would be badly burned when the propellant bags burned.

All you need to know is that Skyrim is for the Nords....

So you're a Stormcloak eh?

[Babalonian]

Might be mute too...I don't hear anything...

I think it's because this thread just crit the irony guage.

Is it possible to easily remove the propellant charge or make it not fire?

I actually prefer to fight for the Imperials. I don't like how racist the Stormcloaks are but since I beat it on the Imperial side, I'm playing it for them atm.

You playing the stock game or are you running mods? I've been looking into the Skyrim modding scene and it looks very promising.

From what I understood there are two safety pins. One for propellant, one for the warhead. You need to remove the warhead safety, then blast the bottom to activate it. Propellant will still detect it's not inside the tube and fail to go off.

Thanks, I'll look into it. I've been over at skyrimnexus and they have lots of awesome mods out.

Commonly (and jokingly) referred to as "the best scene in Saving Private Ryan", Vin Diesel's character is shot by a sniper and dies. Because no one I know likes Vin Diesel, as a person or an actor.

The best scene in the movie is of course the final scene.

Hmm I never realized people don't like Vin Diesel as an actor (or in real life although I have no reason to support or deny his personal likablity). I guess that makes the joke about it being the best scene relevant and funny.

For the record I think he was good in Saving Private Ryan.
 
My favorite scene: is the Normandy invasion.

My Favorite quote:

Upham:       "But sir, It's just that, I haven't held a weapon since basic training." 
Cpt Miller:    "Did you fire the weapon in basic training? "
Upham:       "Yes sir"
Cpt Miller:    "Then get your gear."

Yeah...idk why people dislike him.


My cousin is an ATL Falcon cheerleader. She met him through "The Rock". All the people she hangs with says they're both pretty kick bellybutton guys.

Laid back, like kids etc.
