      @@GoingBallistic Some days it gets as high as 118 degrees, but it’s very rare to get any higher than that. I went golfing on a day that hot and during the 18 holes I played I drank like 2 1/2 gallons of water in about four hours because it was so hot, but I got sick because my body retained all of the water without letting me go to the bathroom. It wasn’t until I got in the A/C and cooled down that I started going number 1 and I literally had my bladder filled to bursting like every 5-10 minutes for like 2 hours before I got it all out.

    😂 I think it's been said before, but except for the fifty, this armor is the only armor that automatically returns fire when struck. You guys "hammered" the puns, too.

BTW it's 30°C or 86°F here in Thailand but it's 0040hrs in the morning, although if you take into account the humidity, it's about a zillion degrees in the units of your choice. Great stuff guys. 👍

      @@บัวสีโรเจอร์-ศ9ฝ You're right that it depends on storage. Just after WWII, but I shot a bunch of 1946 Soviet 7.62x54R that was in great condition. I've also had good luck with WWII German 8mm, compared to newer Czech 8mm that had lots of hangfires. I have some 1945 50 BMG, too, but it's plain ball, and I haven't shot any because it's corrosive.
