I started this thread last night but had to leave. Sorry for that. But now let's get to it - Paraguay still has a warship in active service from 1908, and I will post photos of it, along with other facts about Paraguay's navy - an interesting little riverine force.
The first pic shows the gunboats "Humaitá" (C2) and the "Paraguay" (C1) - both commissioned in 1931 - alongside the river patrol boat Cap. Cabral (P01; built 1908) and a pair of more modern Taiwanese fast-attack craft from the 90's.
C1 and C2 are both currently inactive (C2 is a museum; C1 is a training/storage ship until its steam engines can be replaced with a diesel system). So, we'll start with the Cabral after a quick overview of Paraguay's naval situation.

Paraguay is a landlocked nation, but it is bisected by the Paraguay River, which flows into the Paraná River and into the Río de la Plata, reaching the ocean at Buenos Aires. The Paraguay River flows past Bolivia and deep into Brazil, and is a major corridor for traffickers.
Paraguay has around 2,500km of navigable rivers, along with several lakes, It also has a long history of war with its neighbors, which led the country to try and put together some type of naval force back in the 1800's.
A country of limited means, Paraguay has tried to keep many of its ships in service for as long as possible. By keeping the ships river-bound and out of saltwater, they have enjoyed lengthy lifespans.
Along with the gunboat awaiting an engine retrofit, the current active-duty navy includes three river patrol boats (including the Cabral), about 50 fast-attack boats of various builds and configurations (the backbone of the force), four tugs, and a number of other service/support and training ships, as well as a Brazilian Helibras HB350 light-attack helicopter and four Cessnas.
The Helibras has landing capabilities on one of the patrol boats (the Itaipú P05, from 1985).
Now, the Cabral:

From what I gathered about "en banc" review, the circuit court it was headed to denied it from being heard?
Does that mean Hollis could appeal to a higher court, or that the court itself didn't give a first fucking response to appeal?

The people banning this are acting like it's some new super weapons. It's a 150 year old design for fuck sake. Not to mention, lever action rifles aren't banned here, and they can hold more than 8 rounds anyway.

Why do you guys even try?
The only reason they let you have any guns is because it's respecting your "barbaric hunting culture". It's not a compromise, they are doing it because they have to respect cultural relativism to get votes.
They do the same thing in the US. They try to appeal to fudd weapons "hunting and sport shooting".
They won't stop until you have 0 guns.

Bold idea for a bold man.
But your logic is treading on thin ice.
What do you intend to freeze?
A person?
Check the Leidenfrost effect.
Too cold of temperature and the heat from skin literally boils the nitrogen.
You'd just get freezer burned.

"Soldiers of Finland!
Do not believe, soldiers, official lies about "defending fatherland". You aren't defending fatherland, but the war adventures of Erkko and Mannerheim. Great Socialistic Soviet Union doesn't want to steal small Finland's lands. As soon as Finland stops politics of hate against Soviet Union as well as damaging her security, the Soviet government will guarantee Finland not only peace, but also total independence and territorial integrity."
Why does this sound so familiar...Right, it sounds exactly like "Russia Today" when they talk about Finland today, I wonder why we are getting edgy about Russia's actions in recent years...

Why?
The auto bits are the right side lever and the tail on the disconnector. cut the lever and chuck the two ends, middle bit helps hold the trigger pack together, and grind the disconnector's tail off.
