southwestforests Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 I suppose they've already had to upgrade from .303 Lewis to CIWS? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

KenM Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 (edited) So are you doing pin-point delivery ( handing it to the person ) or carpet delivery ( unrolling it and throwing it onto the roof or trees in the yard )?

Mstor Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 Dangerous job Steve. Stay alert and protect yourself. Is your gun mount enclosed or are you hanging out back like they do on various choppers and transports? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ikar Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 This is where the C-130 L.A.P.E.S. system would work, no stopping, you just let it slide out the back and some to rest on the sidewalk. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

SERNAK Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 (edited) So, you're sitting (on an ejection seat just in case the zombies attack!!!) at the back of a Grumman LLV and with a modified M203 you "throw" the TP???? Edited March 18, 2020 by SERNAK Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, I figure that'll last about ten days to two weeks, then it'll be back down to $.25 a roll when people realize that the crisis is over and return their unopened cases back to CostCo or Walmart to get their money back!.

Don Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 At least you didn't get the ball turret gunners job. Those guys must be really small to fit under the delivery trucks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

My local walmart has more toilet paper than they know what to do with. Hoarders have finished and are hiding.....supplies of everything will begin to hit the stores in the coming weeks.

OMWorks Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 🤣🤣🤣 this is priceless! Were still running out here,I'm off today though.every day we get a delivery in and in 10 min of opening its gone.Beit TP, water, clorox, or ground beef it's been insane trying to even get close to keeping up with the demand and on top of it not getting in what were ordering. They projected this weekend getting back on top of things and now that's been postponed indefinitely. We cant guarantee anything be it a customer order or even getting something in.

We got our shipment of office store quality TP yesterday. 36 2-ply 1000 sheet rolls. The sheets are SO thin you can almost see through them. They'll work, but you need to bunch up 2 or 3 times what you'd use of something like Charmin (my usually brand). Now I need to find some paper towels. I sure hope the hoarders get their fill soon so the supply chain can catch up. Its nuts. There is plenty of everything if people would just stop the hoarding frenzy.

OMWorks Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 (edited) Exactly. And in the end were doing all this work stocking and supplying them that when we get off there's nothing left for us. Well, our store allowed us to do some things for ourselves, but that meant leaving the store was... challenging. I caught a few people eyeing and one person approached my cart to take the TP out. So I had to get creative. Edited March 18, 2020 by OMWorks Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jeffrey, I think you're onto a great diorama idea! Hmmm. Where's that HEMTT kit lying around, anyway! What is the 1/35 scale thickness for a 463L pallet? I think I can do this! Sounds like a new group build! ROTFL! 😎 Edited March 20, 2020 by Dutch Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Dutch Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 This sounds like a great idea for a new group build. Armored vehicle convoys delivering TP. B-52s & B-2s dropping multiple strings of TP for TICs. SSBNs firing missiles with MIRV TP warheads. Or redneck 4x4 trucks for local TP delivery. Get cracking everyone! 😎 Oh, and don't forget to wash your hands! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
