How were machine guns used in WW1?
machine guns were basically used the same way as they are now, but far more dangerous. At the squeeze of a trigger they could fire 500 to 1000 rounds per minute
What was the range of the guns of navarone?
The artillery pieces appeared to be patterned after the famous 280mm (eleven inch in caliber- on the nose!) Railroad guns popularily called Big Berthas. These were made by Krupp and had an accurate tactical range of over 2l miles- and inaccurate plunging fire far beyond that. That is why they used Radar fire-control in the film. The Big Berthas were used in both RR and in this case turret mounts, in both World Wars.
Who invented the first fire department?
Firefighting can date as far back as ancient Egypt, when hand operated pumps put the fires out. The first known organized fire department was organized by the Roman Empire around 115BC.
What is Naplam in the Vietnam War?
Since the US could NOT use atomic weapons (and doctrine dictated no use of chemical/bio weapons); the US used every other weapon that it had at it's disposal. Another words, until someone said "it couldn't be used"; IT WAS USED! As far as napalm being used in warfare; it's a fire weapon...and fire has been part of warfare since the ancient Greeks used it before Christ (BC).
Where did the phrase Tread Softly and Carry a Big Stick come from?
Theodore Roosevelt used the phrase regarding the diplomatic use of force. It was "Speak softly and carry a big stick; you will go far".
