   Mrfants liked post by Edunn On thread : Gear List - gone a bit deeper than usual

   Hey team, Mucked around with some formulas in Google Sheets (with ChatGPT assistance) and put a gear list together. I've found it pretty useful for working out how much everything weighs and where...

   Their concern is around packaging, not security. So a lockable steel container is zero advantage. 5kg is the threshold for the ammunition to be carried under the limited quantity (personal...

   It actually is clearly set out in IATA rules for DG on aircraft - it's just that it doesn't really happen often enough to get attention that it needs. The issue is the local staff not knowing that...

   If I still have the right of this, the packaging needs to ensure that each round is separate to the one next to it - rounds can't be touching. This means that some commercial "original unopened"...

   Have not flown with Jetstar. But plenty with Air NZ. The intent of the regs is that the ammo is safely & securely packaged such that it can not be accidentally discharged. No need for locks. The MTM...

   MTM boxes are fine, and are specifically shown in IATA info. Don't need to be locked and neither does the checked bag that the ammo container is in. My experience with Jetstar has been via...

   I have a couple of GME TX6160. Not the cheapest but I’m pretty impressed with the performance. I can communicate with my son when he is several kilometres upstream in thick bush and he is below...

    Foot-pounds of energy gives you very little information to predict the performance of any bullet on any animal. It's not a good metric.
