Something we (sailors) use to hear a lot in the Submarine Service. What is this device and what is it used for?  |

I don't know what it is called and Serk has one  OH,,, I now know the tool's name. Had to look it up. It has to do with Kinetic Energy KE = 1/2 MV^2 |

It also takes advantage of Newton's First Law of Motion... |

Oh and Serk, I just sort of caught the "phraseology" you used. I'll show you mine if you show me yours?  |

Yes, Newton's first law what I was trying to come up with but the KE thing worked.

And anyone else who is watching this thread, yes you are correct I have trouble typing. the word "hear" got changed into "heart" somehow.
I don't have a clue how but it did. So..... I have corrected it.

I had no idea submariners reloaded ammo aboard while underway (or at the dock either). It's a reloading tool. (bullet puller hammer) Though it's seems likely submarines have things that need only very light tapping on them (like torpedos and nuclear missiles) as opposed the 50lb monkey wrenches. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c-4iOOfgBQo |

Jess, Yes correctly named and identified Frankford Arsenal Impact Bullet Puller And yes, we did have such things as Crescent Hammers. I cannot find a picture but it was a crescent wrench with a hammer welded to one side. And since we had welders on-board a few got made. Just because we could There was a saying, if I remember correctly, "don't force it get a bigger hammer". |

Another old saying...."if you have wrinkles in your duct tape, it's a sign of poor workmanship."  |

Had not heard that one before John.... I will have to remember it. And Jess, I watched the Youtube video. I did like Bugs Bunny as a kid and older too. |

Take a great big roll of cap gun caps, and whack it with with a framing hammer. It'd knock your ball cap off if you had your face down there (like a dummy). |
