For some reason I suddenly remembered a picture I elected not to post. Now I changed my mind. A great Lady deserves to have her whole carrier honored. [image]local://upfiles/29130/1762C9571DB1403F9B4B25C38EABD642.jpg[/image] HMS Warspite - Prussia Cove, Cornwall on 23 March 1947.

She ran aground on her way there (you can see she is sinking at the bow) and was left, gradually being broken up over the next few years in situ. Sad. Sad. Sad. [:(]

Since I can find the same picture on this page I think that settles it. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boyes_Anti-tank_Rifle

Warspite1 (adopting the by now all too familiar manner of one who has just been proven right - yet again) My dear nate (chuckling) it is Boyes not Boys - as any elementary student of the anti-tank weapon would know.

Jeez. That IS less than dignified. Bikini would've been preferable, I think, to that.

I'm not - it was named after a Captain Boys - you know you much I trust Wiki. About as far as I can throw Parusski.

Goode night my olde friend. Sleepe well. And Orm, I get a re-direct from Boyes to Boys when I go to Wiki. And I dislike Wiki very much. No joking about Bikini. Not the place for that. I just know small arms pretty well. [:)]

nate25 -> RE: Nate's College Football and Whatever Thread (4/19/2012 12:26:52 AM)
I think we're all crossed up here, my friend. I knew it was Boys from the beginning. [:)] I think we are trying to say the same thing. Re-read my posts. [:)]

nate25 -> RE: Nate's College Football and Whatever Thread (4/19/2012 3:31:05 PM)
B O Y S. The weapon was named after H. C. Boys, member, British Small Arms Committee. Every source I looked at stated Boys, not Boyes, except for Wiki, which redirects you to the correct spelling. Congratulations, Wiki, you have that one right. There's a neat little training film on Youtube done by Disney for the Canadians. Some real basic lessons on ballistics, spall effect, etc. The poor guy firing this thing must have gone deaf after the film. No hearing protection at all. One of the other members at our local range had a Barrett .50 there a couple months back. I got to send two rounds, (which was really cool of him because .50 BMG isn't cheap) and my plugs were totally inadequate up close.
