What would you expect from a French company

What would you expect from a French company

A submarine with 9' ceilings so that they don't bump their finger tips when they surrender.

Absolutely

Oh that's a good one.

[Bugman]

How many gears in a french tank? 9 reverse and one forward. Why one forward? In case they are attacked from the rear.

Good one !
Lol... dammed frogs.
I'd also expect permanently fixed white flag on the periscope and a one way communication system so they could transmit their complaints.

There was an update that blamed humidity and the weather for their inability to produce fast powders but they removed it from their site and there hasn't been an update since.

I understand they are doing very nicely running at full plant capacity making rifle powders, mostly for the export market.

My Grandfather had a French WW1 rifle. He said it was dropped once never used.

Hello all
I have recently received some TOP SECRET information about whats happening with the french owned THALES and the pistol powders.
They have now decided to diversify into:.......
I think I over-heard a conversation that sounded like
'Bugger you jack, I'm ok'

[Jackaroo]

They didn't spell 'Bummer' correctly.

Hahaha, a few good ones here and I am half french.

I would just say, the "never fired, dropped once" is more appropriate for the June 1940 campaign than ww1. It is usually a joke referring to the mas 36. You don't get 5 million dead or wounded without shooting a couple of rounds. Diggers and "poilus" both had it tough in ww1, same goes for Sammies and Tommies

They have been slack in public statements but if you write and ask them they will respond. A few months ago they said that they are finally testing the new APS powders.

I wonder what they'll blame this time? It was the weather last time.

The production line was the issue, though our environment played a role. I don't know what they'll come up with, or whether they'll need to. I doubt they've spent four years dedicated to sorting the line out, but if they're now testing then they are at least producing something. Hopefully it means they have some confidence that they've sorted the issue. Whether the product is good enough remains to be seen of course, when we eventually see it. Sometime 2025 is the best bet I think. There are people that used, and still use, the APS powders successfully so it wasn't entirely garbage. I think they must've done a batch during the summer, figured it was good and put it to market. Then they did another batch in the winter and it all fell apart. A guy posted on FB yesterday that he's doing testing with three of the "old" APS powders so it is still in peoples' cupboards.

I've burned through multiple jugs of APS350...........was a great powder.

There is another facility out there with almost identical issue. In Canada I think.

Don't hold your breath for powder for civilian reloading consumers, Alliant in the US just stopped all reloading powder supplies "for the foreseeable future" due to nitrocellulose shortages and are reserving all powders for their loaded ammunition brands. And just for info, the 2 largest suppliers of nitrocellulose are China and Russia, with Russia just banning exports to US, Europe etc.

Might be time to start using black instead of smokeless.

100% text book manoeuvres straight from Sun Tzu's Military Method,The Art of War.

It's been China's plan in the making for years, we've allowed them to have the monopoly on critical products, allowed our industries to vanish, They've destroyed world econmys with the Chinavirus, created and feed world tensions, sat back and watch the fireworks, cut exports to select nations... their waiting for one silly move while we're on our knees and they'll strike.
Successive governments have played straight into China's hands.

Yep.
If I've said it once, I've said it 50 times, we need about a dozen nukes.

[on_one_wheel]

Either that or just sit back and wait for China, Russia and NK to deliver them for free.

Well, well. Interesting finds there Jackeroo. Well done.

Haven't read all of the audit. However, the stand out appears to me is that the department of Defence couldn't run a project to build an out house. Sooo, nothing new there.

You just have to look at their history in this regard.

Edit: The original production line was built in about two years during the war when there were man power shortages and almost zero local knowledge. The yanks helped out there in a big way. Here we are now, what, 10 years and we can't build a new production line/facility. IMO that's pathetic.

And to add, we tell the whole world we can't do it and where all our defence facilities are.
