I was going to use "Paul used atomics to destroy the Shield Wall," but this is much funnier.
clip from the Fizeau atomic bomb test in the Nevada Desert in 1957. It is one of the nuclear bomb tests in Operation Plumbbob. it's yield was 11 kilotons of tnt , record from ground zero 11 miles
But the audio was edited and take from the low quality footage of other atomic test the Upshot-Knothole

The gun-type fission bomb works by rapidly bringing two separate pieces of fissile material together. One piece is propelled down a barrel-like assembly and collides with the other, forming a supercritical mass. This starts a rapid chain reaction that releases an enormous amount of energy in a fraction of a second. It produced an explosion equivalent to 15 kilotons of TNT.
It is called a gun-type design because the basic concept resembles the operation of a firearm. Instead of firing a bullet at a target the mechanism uses one piece of fissile material as the "projectile," which is driven into another piece acting as the "target." Although the physics and scale are completely different, the underlying mechanical idea is surprisingly similar to how a gun functions.
The bomb dropped on Hiroshima, Little Boy, was the only nuclear weapon ever used in combat that employed this gun-type design. and it
Later nuclear weapons generally adopted different designs because they were more efficient and suitable for a wider range of fissile materials.
Yevgeny Stepanovich Kobytev (1913–1973) was a Soviet artist, teacher, and Red Army soldier who served during the Second World War. Mobilized in 1941 after the German invasion of the Soviet Union, he fought on the Eastern Front before being wounded and captured by German forces. He spent years as a prisoner of war before escaping and rejoining the Red Army, serving until the end of the war. After 1945, Kobytev resumed his artistic career and later became a professor at the Krasnoyarsk Art School
The first image, on the left, was taken the day he went to fight in the war, age 30 in June 1941, and the photograph on the right was taken when he returned from the war in 1945.
The dramatic change in his appearance was not caused by a single event, but by years of hardship during the war. Combat, physical injuries, captivity as a prisoner of war, malnutrition, and prolonged psychological stress all contributed to his aged and exhausted appearance. His before-and-after photographs have since become one of the most recognizable visual representations of the human cost of World War II.
This photograph, taken by Seiso Yamada and owned by Chugoku Shimbun, shows the mushroom cloud over Hiroshima a few minutes after the atomic bomb detonated at approximately 8:00 a.m. on August 6, 1945. The image was captured from Mikumari Gorge, located in present-day Fuchū, Aki District, Hiroshima Prefecture, Japan.

Buck and Ball is still related to shotgun ammunition, so it wouldn't make the post off-topic, right?
pattern 1853 enfield is musket-rifle. It was the British Army's standard service rifle three generations before the Lee–Enfield
the term " Starlight Tours " is a euphemism for a documented practice of systemic, racially motivated extrajudicial violence carried out by members of the Saskatoon Police Service in Saskatchewan, Canada. Spanning several decades from the 1970s into the early 2000s, this practice involved police officers deliberately targeting Indigenous individuals and abandoning them in life threatening environmental conditions.
The procedure was characterized by calculated neglect. Police officers would detain Indigenous individualsfrequently men who were vulnerable, allegedly intoxicated, or simply walking alone at night. Instead of processing them through standard legal or medical channels, officers would transport these individuals far outside city limits into remote, unpopulated areas. In the depth of winter, with temperatures dropping to lethal sub-zero levels, officers frequently confiscated the victims' winter coats or footwear before abandoning them, forcing them to walk miles back to safety through the freezing wilderness.
Numerous individuals did not survive these incidents. Notable victims whose deaths are directly linked to this practice include Neil Stonechild, Rodney Naistus, and Lawrence Wegner, all of whom succumbed to hypothermia. For many years, these fatalities were officially categorized by law enforcement as accidental exposure due to personal intoxication, a systemic dismissal that shielded the responsible personnel from accountability and allowed the racially targeted practice to continue.
The practice was formally exposed in January 2000 through the survival of a Cree man named (Darrel Night)After being detained by police, Night was driven to the outskirts of the city and abandoned in -22°C weather. He managed to survive the trek to a nearby power station, where he sought assistance and subsequently filed a formal complaint. His survival and definitive testimony initiated a major public reckoning and led to a federal inquiry (the Commission of Inquiry into the Matter of the Death of Neil Stonechild, or the Wright Inquiry).
The inquiry officially concluded that members of the police force were indeed abandoning individuals outside the city. While the findings prompted legal reforms and policy changes within Canadian law enforcement, the systemic violence and lack of comprehensive prosecution remain significant points of contention for the families of the victims.

John L. Burns was an American veteran best known for fighting as a civilian during the Battle of Gettysburg. He served in the War of 1812 and was also reported to have served in the Mexican–American War, although the latter remains uncertain due to limited historical evidence.
he was born in 1793. By the time the American Civil War broke out, Burns was nearly 70 years old and living in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, where he worked as a constable. When Confederate forces entered his hometown in July 1863, he refused to remain a bystander.
Burns grabbed his old flintlock musket, filled his pockets with ammunition, and marched onto the battlefield to fight alongside Union soldiers. Dressed in his civilian clothes, including his distinctive top hat and swallowtail coat, he exchanged fire with Confederate troops until he was wounded multiple times. His extraordinary courage earned him lasting fame as the legendary "Old Hero of Gettysburg."

King Edward VII earned a reputation as one of the most notorious womanizers among European monarchs. During his lifetime, the press and the public nicknamed him "Dirty Bertie" and "Edward the Caresser," reflecting his well-known romantic and sexual exploits.
some Historians have estimated and claim that he may have had relationships with 15,000 to 18,000 women over the course of his life. During his healthiest years, he was reportedly involved with at least three to four women each week.
His partners came from all walks of life, including aristocrats, actresses, and sex workers, as he was not known to limit his relationships by social status or class.
In 1890, Edward VII is said to have commissioned a custom-made "Love Chair" (Siège d'amour) from a renowned furniture maker in Paris. Designed to accommodate his large physique and satisfy his appetite for pleasure, the chair reportedly allowed him to engage in intimate activities with two partners simultaneously while requiring less physical effort.
The chair later became one of the most infamous pieces of furniture associated with any historical figure, and a replica was once displayed at the Musée de l'Érotisme in Paris
This famous photograph was taken by Dr. Allan Warner at the Isolation Hospital in Leicester, UK, and was published in Atlas of Clinical Medicine, Surgery, and Pathology (1899). It depicts two 13-year-old boys who contracted smallpox from the same source on the same day.
The original caption reads: "Shows two boys, both aged 13 years. The one on the right was vaccinated in infancy, the other was not vaccinated.They were both infected from the same source on the same day. Note that while the one on the left is in the fully pustular stage, the one on the right has had only two spots, which have aborted and have already scabbed."
The photograph was later widely used in public health campaigns to promote smallpox vaccination amid the anti-vaccination movement in Britain during the late 1890s. It became one of the most well-known visual examples illustrating the striking difference in disease severity between a vaccinated and an unvaccinated child.
The anti-vaccination movement in Britain had already gained significant momentum decades earlier, largely in response to compulsory smallpox vaccination laws. One of its most notable events was the Great Leicester Demonstration of 1885, when an estimated 80,000 to 100,000 people marched in protest against mandatory vaccination, making it one of the largest anti-vaccination demonstrations in history. Although the government later relaxed some vaccination laws, the debate continued well into the early 20th century. During this period, photographs like this became powerful tools in public health campaigns, providing compelling visual evidence of the protective effect of smallpox vaccination.
