  • It is if your intention is to not introduce carbon into the atmosphere over the 60 year life's lifespan to 90 year lifespan of the power plant

  • No, I'm trying to explain to you that one of these devices is meant as an defensive artillery piece to shoot over and beyond fortifications while the other is meant as a very accurate assault weapon to be wielded by mounted Bowman and shot accurately while riding a horse.

    Or to put it another way. Yes, you can take a cricket bat to a baseball field and slam a home run with it but it's not meant for that.

  • Look dude. I'm not trying to get overly analytical and in a life and death debate but no that's factually incorrect.

    The reason I said modern recurve was because if you try to put excess strain on traditional recurve bows most of them will shatter or delaminate as they are laminate technology.

    Yes, both types of bow will fire the same types of arrow. The key difference is the English longbow Men can put a lot more oomph behind his shots than a recurve bow man. I am not saying that the English would draw to 180 ft lb for every pullback I am saying that their artillery pieces could do that.

    To put it another way, the theoretical maximum range was much higher on a longbow than the theoretical max range on a recurve bow because you can use double or triple the maximum draw weight on the same arrow.

  • If this surprises you, you should look up the demographics in Oregon and in Washington and how they got there.

    Same as the old boss🎵

  • , the maximum draw weight of an English longbow was significantly higher than a typical recurve bow, with the best longbows reaching draw weights between 150 and 180 pounds, while most high-quality recurves would max out around 60-70 pounds depending on the design and archer's ability; essentially, a historical English longbow could reach considerably higher draw weights than a modern recurve bow. So while you can penetrate some armor while riding around on your pony an Englishman will just knock you off the horse your on from farther than your maximum range with his longbow.

  • It's an Al Jazeera article.

    Did you notice the title says US army?

  • I have no firsthand knowledge for this and this is pure speculation, but I suspect that this was far more likely to be an automated goalkeeper system misidentifying and or firing in a line at a valid target through the path of the friendly jet than anything else.

  • These shoot through armor yours don't

  • But he was a data analyst so his knowledge of processes and systems would be basically useless as all he would have known would have been how to access the file stores that were being gathered and provided by other agencies for his agency to review. It's not like if Russia put him on a rack and tortured him. They'd find much useful information. At worst they would be able to confirm things they already very strongly suspect.

  • Easy. They got to call him a Russian operative and brush it under the rug. Go ask the average person about snowden

  • So what you're saying is it's not the size of the spear but it's how you thrust it?
