The fossil skulls of Pleistocene dwarf elephants scattered throughout the coastal caves in Italy and the Greek islands, most likely inspired the one-eyed Cyclopes in ancient Greek mythology. During the Pleistocene ice age (2,580,000 to 11,700 years ago), land bridges emerged that allowed ancient elephants to move to emerging islands to escape predators and/or find new food sources. As sea levels began to rise around the Mediterranean, these ancient elephants became trapped and had to compete for limited amounts of food. According to the island rule, mammals tend to shrink or grow depending on the availability of resources in their environment. The isolated ancient elephants evolved into different species depending on the island they found themselves on. The ones that were found on Cyprus were approximately 6 feet tall, nearly double the size than the ones found on Sicily and Malta. The ancient elephants lived in relative peace until humans found their way to the islands approximately 11,000 years ago. Within a century, they were over-hunted and became extinct. By the time the Romans and Greeks came to occupy the Mediterranean islands, all that remained were skulls that were twice the size of those belonging to humans. These massive skulls also had a single hole right in the center that the Greeks and Romans mistakenly believed was an eye socket. It was in fact, a socket that was connected to the trunk of an ancient elephant. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1655905167.jpg http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1655905167.jpg http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1655905167.jpg http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1655905167.jpg http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1655905167.jpg |

Of not is the oil bottle in the helmet band of the gunner, ready to give it a shot of oil when his pig gets hot and dirty. The M60, officially the Machine Gun, Caliber 7.62 mm, M60, is a family of American general-purpose machine guns firing 7.62×51mm NATO cartridges from a disintegrating belt of M13 links. There are several types of ammunition approved for use in the M60, including ball, tracer, and armor-piercing rounds. The Vietnam War is replete with stories that demonstrate the effectiveness of the M60 in combat. Medal of Honor recipient Lance Corporal Richard Pittman, a Marine with 1/5 (1st Battalion/5th Marine Regiment), used the M60 to successfully engage superior elements of the 324th North Vietnamese Army (NVA) Division in 1966. M60 gunner Pittman fought his way up the trail of his platoon as the fight commenced. After defeating two enemy machine gun positions and suppressing enemies in his immediate vicinity, Pittman advanced another 50 m into the face of more attacking NVA. After the fight, two-thirds of Pittman's platoon were dead or wounded. In 1968, Sergeant Pittman was presented with the Medal of Honor by President Lyndon B. Johnson. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1655920700.jpg http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1655920700.jpg http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1655920700.jpg http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1655920700.jpg |

For years attempts were made at building a road between Ouray and Silverton, but these attempts were always a failure. Building the road was thought to be impossible by some, but by the mid 1880s Otto Mears, premier road builder of the region, was able to complete the job. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1656006937.jpg Bristol, England's Clifton Suspension Bridge is seen during construction, c. 1863-64 http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1656006937.jpg http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1656006937.jpg http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1656006937.jpg http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1656006937.jpg |

And then reloaded again. They found huge amounts of rifles after the battle loaded and many loaded twice or more people don't necessarily want to kill in battle, but peer pressure and all that Now obviously if such a rifle falls to the ground and then somebody who DOES use it runs into a double load.. https://www.wearethemighty.com/articles/almost-every-rifle-recovered-at-gettysburg-was-fully-loaded-and-no-one-knows-why/ There are similar reports of WW1 where soldiers fired their rifle but they didn't aim to hit.
