Colt 45's? I could see the Desert Eagle used in the films, but the comics seem to indicate something a bit more modern.    (not that there is anything wrong with the Colt!)

Saw this posted without any trace of irony:

 

The guy on the right isn't going to be a visual learner very long, unless he finds a helmet somewhere.

I got a new bobble head for Valentine’s Day. It’s a little creepy.

I'll bet if you offered, you could probably sell about 100 of them here at the Hive.

Just had to share the spot where the atom bomb still is from the incident where we almost nuked ourselves (twice).

And there's Damascus, Arkansas where a Titan Missile blew up in 1980.

The USA is actually very careful with nukes compared to some other countries. I wonder what we haven't heard about.

In reply to AAZCD :

The incident I linked is what helped to make us careful. The bomb they did recover WOULD have gone off if a component hadn't experienced a failure. It had deployed it's parachute in preparation to detonate and everything.



The one that is still there had a parachute failure and hit the ground hard enough that after digging down 100 feet they just kind of gave up trying to get it, put a cement cap over it and pretended it never happened until 2013 when the information declassified.

For further information on both incidents, I recommend "Command and Control: Nuclear Weapons, the Damascus Accident, and the Illusion of Safety" By Eric Schlosser

She won’t tell me what it cost so I don’t know that I could sell many of them.
