Make pictures of your ammunition, win something useful.
« on: July 23, 2005, 08:21:23 PM »
I'm looking for pictures of individual rounds in quantities that would go well with the following tentative heading names:

Large
Grande
Ford Excessive (placeholder name)
Megalithic
That's no Moon!

Examples of this image type:


Small to Largest

They'll have to convert well to 100 by 100px. Perhaps for the first one, a solitary .22LR, the next one a couple .45 ACP ball rounds, then 7.62, .50 BMG, and so on. One solo round for each image might work best. Alternately, I see how multiple rounds would work too but that brings up framing issues and translating to a relatively small screen area. Avatar size, almost.

Yes, I'm taking the starbucks trick of naming small tall and so on, however my implimentation is both funny and not redundant. (Vente? What the heck is Vente? Is that some way to make yuppies feel good about paying nine bucks for a urine sample sized cup of coffee?! - Foamy)

Usable images will be rewarded with a free hosting account for six months. Use it yourself or pass it on like a gift card for someone else to enjoy, with one person (assuming more than two people have any images to put up) getting a pristine GeForce 4 series 64mb card for that older computer, fifty rounds of .38 Special JSP, or a couple packages of Brother photocopier ink, which I know is expensive and runs out fast. I'd have more goodies to offer but ebay has been eagerly swallowing down most of my extraneous stuff.

This is most curious... so much so that I feel I must dust off my digicam.


Or perhaps not.

Well...   I'm not exactly tracking your request.  I got the "pictures of ammo" part.  So here we go.

My 40mm supply

[IMG]http://www.revdisk.net/photos/Mk19ammo.jpg[IMG]


I have plenty of ammo on hand that I can photograph for ya.  .40 S&W, .45, .357, .308, .223 blanks (don't ask), 7.62x39mm, plenty of 12 guage ammo.


Uhm, I have plenty of photos of huge spent brass piles generated by MG.   I think the brass pile generated by an MG42 falls under "Megalithic" and M2 falls under "That's no moon!".   I wish I'd gotten a photo of the Finnish-American shoot.  We literally covered the entire range with brass.   Somewhere around 100k rounds downrange in ONE day on a rather small range.
"Rev, your picture is in my King James Bible, where Paul talks about "inventors of evil."  Yes, I know you'll take that as a compliment."  - Fistful, possibly highest compliment I've ever received.

Not totally sure what you are wanting but here's a pic of 303 Brit (old round) - with IIRC tracer coding.  Meant to say - not best of lighting at all.

I don't have any loaded ammo on hand (excepting the .22s there) and my camera quality's not so great, but perhaps I can serve as an example for others.

.22 - .38spl - .500S&W - 12G - 30mm, in that order.

Still trying to figure out what you're really asking for...

But here's a pair of .45-70 rounds, the bullet lube of choice, and the bullets that were stuffed in the cases:

How about a .308 Winchester vs. a dead hard drive?

Blackburn - I am still really not quite sure what is wanted.  if you were to specifically say ''make me a pic of - (insert description here) - it'd help.  

I can take all manner of pics if I don't already have em.  Of course.... reduction to 100 x 100 does impose some rather awkward constraints - or is that purely for thumbnail use to access the ''biggies''?

Those images seem a little dark, Kace...
...do they come in wallpaper sizes?  Me likey.  Smiley

Lemme take a shot at re-wording the request:

What's needed here are pictures of five things- small, medium, large, larger, largest.  Doesn't really matter what they're pictures of, so long as each one is bigger than the last.  The images are going to be displayed at 100x100 pixels, so small or low-detail images with simple backgrounds will work best.
