Reloading the A-10 Warthog
Good to know the most manly of weapons needs an almost equal time to reload compared to its shooting as the men that operate it. It takes a crew of airmen over 30 minutes to reload the Gatling cannon on the Warthog. While the physical loading and unloading is done by machine, it takes a […]

LuckyGunner: How to Reload a Revolver
Not a wheelgun fan myself, but that does not mean I lack for appreciation of those who run them really well. An admitted personal weakness has been getting the reloads down pat.
