For those who don’t know, A 5 inch gun refers to the bore. Its shoots a projectile 5 inches in diameter. Its fucking massive.
Yeah a shell the width of a *toothbrush-stood-on-end will make some big holes.
Edit: for the people.
Still poorly worded lol. When you say the width of a toothbrush, I think the width of it, not the length
It’s extremely poorly worded, as the word weapon is not the same as the word shell or ammunition. In fact, that’s why we have separate words for both. I’d have thought people with English degrees (journalists still need education right?) would know these things.
But I’m not a journalist, so I guess they know best right? 😅
How is it poorly worded? You refer to guns by their bore size.
If it confused a bunch of people, I’d say it’s poorly worded. “A gun the length of a toothbrush” made me think of a small pistol not a cannon.
That’s because british journalists are incredibly stupid. Industry standard is to refer to weapons by their bore–you don’t call a Glock 19 a 185mm handgun, after all.
Wow, a british news org fucking up the most basic fact checking? Who would have ever expected that?
@gkanor
How the fuck are we supposed to compete in non credibility with the daily mail around ?The Daily Heil with their usual level of journalism here
Easily concealable size is an excellent choice for a stealthy ship.
This is utter bullshit.
No toothbrush is five inches.
Only penises.
