Burgonet. Filippo Negroli (Italian, Milan ca. 1510–1579), Italian, Milan, dated 1543. Gift of J. Pierpont Morgan, 1917 (17.190.1720) Photos: Paul Lachenauer @ The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York
This masterpiece of Renaissance metalwork is signed on the browplate by Filippo Negroli, whose embossed armor was praised by sixteenth-century writers as "miraculous" and deserving "immortal merit."
Formed of one plate of steel and patinated to look like bronze, the bowl is raised in high relief with motifs inspired by classical art. The graceful mermaidlike siren forming the helmet's comb holds a grimacing head of Medusa by the hair. The sides of the helmet are covered with acanthus scrolls inhabited by putti, a motif ultimately derived from ancient Roman sculpture and wall paintings.

Ascension Guns Aimed
STAR WARS EPISODE I: The Phantom Menace 01:55:00
This is another scene that's tricky to make heads or tails of. The Security S-5 blaster which is referred to as an ascension gun in the film seems to have the grappling dart inserted into the small silver barrel beneath the muzzle in this scene.
But in the diagram in the Expanded Visual Dictionary, it indicates the grappling hook is on the far side, and in the Palace Guard’s diagram it shows a grappling dart loaded into the far side of the blaster (identified as the liquid cable shooter).
Then when the Queen and her men scale up the side of the palace, you can see that the cable is clearly shot from the center of the blaster, where the shorter silver barrel is located.
Furthermore, this card from the Star Wars: Destiny - Spirit of Rebellion set shows the cable shooting out from the lower barrel, while the 3D rendering from the New Essential Guide to Weapons shows the grappling dart on the side of the blaster.
And these photos, found on http://yourprops.com shows the side peg where the dart is shown in the previous images, along with the dart being loaded into the lower barrel. Maybe the dart is stored on the side until needed, at which time it's loaded into the lower barrel?

I love her with all my heart and soul but genuinely what was she thinking trying to walk into an isolated space where a thief stole her scooter and she was just gonna???ask for it back???
#mutant mayhem#tmnt#tmnt mm#mm april#she’s so cool and so swag but she cannot fight as far as we know#“I’m an unarmed non combatant YOU DONT TELL THEM THAT#and she went alone like I hope she sent somebody her address or something#she is a young black girl in nyc at night I’m scared for her#but also she hella bold just going in there with nothing but a helmet#like April is smart and when she knows she can’t handle something she finds a way around it#like getting splinter when the boys get milked#but she also lives for the thrill like she was there the whole car chase scene and in TCRI#mm spoilers

I personally believe that a well designed helmet is ten times more recognizable than whatever face is beneath said helmet

do yall ever think about how weird wash's fight scene in s12 is? specifically, that moment where he does that sideways flip while shooting (I believe) at felix? like wash is an enjoyer of combat rolls, my man is always rolling, but that one flip is a flashy, and dare I say, unnecessary move for wash to use.
I also find it interesting that they had him use his sidearm instead of his battle rifle, since in previous cqc situations wash has always used blades or blade like objects such as the epsilon unit. the only times I recall him using a magnum off the top of my head is when he shot south in s6, when he shot donut in s8, and when he threatened carolina in s10. if wash busting out his magnum, it's always symbolic of him letting some part of his personal feelings guide his actions, because shooting someone with a sidearm meant for close range is more intimate than using his primary mid/long range weapon.
this was obviously not the case in the s12 fight, and they probably did it just because it looked cool, but idk that's my random wash thought of the day.
#rvb#red vs blue#agent washington#mine#not t/oaru#look we all know that the chorus trilogy combat doesn't compare to monty's but idk i feel like they just didn't /get/ wash's fighting style#wash is pretty nimble and quick on his feet#he's not as graceful or as aggressive(?) as lina but he's definitely the kind of guy who doesn't just stand around and let himself get hit#words are not working atm so idk how to describe it but he's like not an exact equivalent but he acts as lina's counterpart among the dudes#like he's not staying in one place he's not muscle-ing his way through a fight he's dodging weaving dancing around his opponents#if he needs to get close he gets close if he needs to back off he backs off#carolina is short bursts of high intensity combat meant to overwhelm her opponents#wash is more focused on endurance and steadily picking away at his opponents over a longer period of time#but they both share that sort of “it's not bad if you don't let it hit you” mentality if that makes sense#also related to this post. why did he cut his hand and throw his blood on locus in the s13 fight. wash literally fought the meta who used#the same cloaking tech without needing to do anything like that bc he paid attention to his surroundings#or when he needed to take off his helmet to find locus via the trail from his gun#like yeah its cool but. idk it doesn't /feel/ like stuff wash would necessarily do you know?#idk I'm chalking it up to miles going like “my characters need to be so much better and so much cooler than these characters.” or smthn

While Combat Helmets were originally designed to protect soldiers from gunshots & war injuries, they have a much bigger role in ensuring success or failure in battle.

Our first NYC area armored group practice last month was a great success! It's nice not having to drive out to Connecticut. Looking a little smaller this month, but hey, gotta keep it rolling.
