The blimp and the shrimp

(1/1)

emike123:
Normally I'm not just a nose man, but the juxtaposition of these 2 Hotchkiss nose sections I thought was interesting.  5.1" (Dahlgren) Type I on left and 2.6" (Wiard) bolt nose on right.  .58 Minie ball shown for scale!

divedigger:
man that thing is a monster

scottfromgeorgia:
Great side by side. Here is one I did a few years ago to demonstrate to a button collector how ridiculous are buttons. Here side by side is a 300 pound Parrott, 2.9 inch Parrott, and a Confederate CSN button.

CarlS:
I love it!   ;D  The hobby that will keep those muscles toned!

ETEX:
Great comparison guys. Thanks for sharing these photos especially for those like myself that have stricktly collected bullets.
