Californiaman Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 No, but I found a couple of lists this morning. thought I'd post them. I Don't Like Mondays though really hits home, being from the O.C. in So. Cal. I remember when it happened. I remember when KROQ played Geldof and the Rats song. What a stir that created.

milod Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 Duncan and Brady... There are variations, but here's one: Brady, Brady carried a '45, Said it would shoot half a mile, Duncan had a '44 That what laid Mr. Brady so low. ========================= Or.... even better and not much heard in current political/musical circles and there are several versions of it too: The Riflemen of Bennington. Note too that even in those days, and even with Major Ferguson's development used a bit in the south, the British didn't care much for the "assault weapon" of the day, the rifle as opposed to the Brown Bess musket, even though the "Bess" was more obviously a military arm complete to bayonet than the hunting rifle of the Americas. Maj. Ferguson, as a historical note, was a Brit officer who developed the Ferguson rifle during the first American Civil War, that of the Brits wearing red coats and the Brits wearing blue. <chortle> In appropriate climate it was an incredibly fine breech-loading rifle that was very accurate and carried excellent power for the era. The Brits later adopted the Baker Rifle in 1800. It was far less expensive and, as a military arm, even included a swivel bayonet version similar to some of the current arms now called "assault rifles" that may or may not truly fit that definition. The Ferguson, ignoring a bit of powder fowling and weak stock problems, was roughly three times as fast to reload (tripling the speed one might fire the arm) and was apparently ever bit as accurate as the later Baker. It never was taken that seriously as a service arm, apparently, regardless of its rather obvious utility. In roughly the same time period as the Baker, the new U.S. did adopt a .54 cal. rifle at least similar to the 15 designed by Meriwether Lewis for the famed Lewis and Clark expedition; the U.S. had earlier adopted rifles for military service. Can you imagine "allowing" current military to sing something like this? It can, and years ago has been used as an example of why the U.S. should not be involved in certain types of overseas expeditions. The Riflemen of Bennington Why come ye hither, Redcoats, Your minds what madness fills? In our valleys there is danger, And there's danger in our hills. Oh hear ye not the ringing Of the bugle wild and free? Full soon you'll hear the singing Of the rifle from the tree. chorus For the rifle, for the rifle. In our hands will prove no trifle. Ye ride a goodly steed, Ye may serve a foreign master; Ye forward come with speed, But ye'll learn to back much faster, When ye meet our mountain boys And their leader, Johnny Stark, Lads who make but little noise, Lads who always hit the mark! Have ye no graves at home Across the briny water, That hither ye must come Like bullocks to the slaughter? If we the work must do, Why the sooner 'tis begun, If flint and trigger hold but true, The quicker 'twill be done! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruznolfart Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 Dang it, now! Milod's post reminded me of The Battle of New Orleans. If I'd been in a garage band when THIS one came out, I'd STILL be a-sangin' it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milod Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 Cruznolfart... Hey, and I actually got to meet Jimmy Driftwood once.<grin> Yeah, Battle of New Orleans is a neat piece, but I guess I didn't think of it because except for the reference to a cannon, it wasn't terribly explicity about firearms used. <grin> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nosir, the closest I came to that was watchin' one of the noobs hook the sh!thook to a 155 at a firebase in the bush somewhere I didn't wanna be. Nowdays my 1911's about too heavy for my hip...I'd hate to hafta carry anything larger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

milod Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 Cruznolfart... I'm assuming you're talking about a 155 towed... <grin> They were fun to try to get a pix of the projo just out of the tube. Not as loud as the SPs, though. Damned near lost my ears standing 15 feet from the sideblast of the muzzle brake of one when it went bang. I had one fun trip - they'd never let me do it now - in a Bell "bubble" chopper taking pix of 155 toweds with 8-inch projos flying supposedly over the elevation at which the helo was flying. It were a ride, for sure. The 1911 ain't that heavy for you is it? Hmmmmm. Try finding a Colt .380 version with the same controls. A sheriff friend had his back damaged and made the switch after years of badmouthing anything that didn't spit .454 cal. flying ashtrays. <bigger grin> The 1917 .45 ACP revolvers really are heavier and a lot less handy to carry - and so's a .45 "Long" colt cartridge conversion '58 Remington. (That 7-inch barrel in an 1860s holster is kinda hard to get adjusted sitting down in a Jeep - but so's the officer's saber on the left side. <chortle>) The big old N frame Colt in .45 acp usta be chopped to a 2-inch barrel and such quite a bit in the '20s and '30s. It do fit under the belt on your pants with a bit of a hookie-poo on the grips to hold it to the belt. But it's bulky as well as a bit heavy, too - which is why the Commander got more popular for concealed carry at one point in time. Beretta Tomcats have been badmouthed a bit but they also have somewhat similar safety, etc., as the 1911. Only good for close work IMHO, but... they do tend to go bang. It all depends, I guess, on whether you carry as I do for rural feral dog packs - or for what I never really worried about, the urban feral people packs and some potential degree of serious social intercourse. m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
