There's that too. I was watching Aliens last night, and Ripley's rifle didn't really run out until the end of the movie, just as she was facing the queen Xenomorph.

And those things absolutely RIP through ammunition

Brrrrrrrrr-hold up guys I need to reload real quick

Based on the fact that they also have very little recoil, it would seem that they probably fire a very small round. Might be more efficient and effective to use a larger caliber?

It's like how you hardly see anyone go for a poo during a thriller. Are we expected to believe all that excitement doesn't eventually loosen the bowels?

What a beautifully horrible way of describing the desire to take a shit.

So that watch I bought is fantastic. The leather strap’s real hard and durable, the dials and everything are simple, slick, and extraordinarily easy to read on the go. The illuminant night bits are subtle and perfectly placed for one to read everything, and tastefully so. Even the second hand has a tiny little circle on it that glows in the dark so you can see the little dot making its way around.

Very tough watch.

I love the font used for GPW and the Einsatzuhr markings on the face, as well.

It’s an automatic

I can still wind it manually, but it has a winding mechanism built into it that turns and winds the watch based on my wrist movement. So to wind my watch, all I need to do is march or run. Or walk, really. Or swing my arms.
