This wasn't poor scribblings, rather this was most excellent scribblings.Please continue with your writing that isn't only clever, but also quite entertaining
Oh no, you’re not getting away with that. You got the clip/magazine distinction right, and for that alone you’ll have to do better than “poor scribblings”. I could see the grins on the humans’ faces, and feel it when the Admiral took his turn too.
If it can be done, you can bet a Human somewhere is in the process of doing it. Or trying to do it. If it can't be done, you can bet multiple Humans are busily trying to figure out a way to do it anyway.
Look up Project Pluto if you want a _real-life_ example of just how insane human weapons designers can be. That project almost made it to _working prototype_ stage before it was rendered redundant by ICBM technology (yep!) and canceled.
It's not just a giant gun, it's an art installation with practical applications. Another thing to consider, If the scale is 100:1 (with the .3" bullet becoming a 30" shell) then the barrel of the replica would be 200ft and the overall length would be 362.5ft. (I did have to look up some specifics) That would be a truly giant gun. A wondrous sight to behold.
And what the alien couldnt grasp. What that the hooman engineers were already working in a even, bigger, more powerful and bombastic giant gun. But this time, with flaming painting. So it looks like it fires faster.
I somehow managed to miss this in all the chaos of my life. Thanks for reading my(admittedly hastily scrawled) story. It is not at all one of my best works, it simply was the one that tripped the algorithm heh.
I've always thought our planet's name was something tongue-in-cheek from our remote ancestors. Yes, earth is dirt, but the original name, Terra Firma (Solid Ground) for a water world is an oxymoron worthy of praise.
You can't help but assume it was intentional really. Humans have ALWAYS been little shits like this. One of the Roman Emperor's had a barge in the middle of a lake with insanely long bridges out to it. We are talking like 3rd of a mile long bridges you have to walk on to get to it in ancient Rome here. The barge's name when translated was something like "Dry Water" or "Parched Bar" depending on which recounting you come across. It was a boat on a lake and required you to walk along bridges that sometimes sagged enough to get your damn feet wet (and they were built that way ON PURPOSE). Others simply used small boats to get to it. It was a big party boat for the upper class.
@@Nempo13 "Humans have ALWAYS been little shits like this." LOL - This actually made me laugh, b/c it's true. Like, forget that lofty and high-brow nonsense. We're HUMANS dammit, and we have a Pun to create, b/c "Reasons!" And for an empire well known for their engineering mastery, saggy bridges could only be "on purpose!" Thanks for sharing!
Ah, but is "earth" - that which you put seeds in and grows plants - named for the Earth (planet), or visa versa? And those who used "Terra Firma", did they know that the Earth is covered more in water than dry land? Got to wonder even then, though: hardly anything "firm" about "Terra" when it shakes with Earthquakes all the time... Okay, we're idiots who can't name things. Let's just keep it simple. Our world is called Dirt, our moon is called Moon. And our sun is called Sun. We've got better things to do... like building bigger guns!
Side note about that 30-inch gun story: Humans did indeed build a gun that big, although it wasn't a scaled-up M1. The Gustav gun built by Nazi Germany in WW2 was 80cm/31.5" bore, weighed over 1,300 metric tons, and launched _seven-metric-ton_ shells _almost 50km._ _And it's not even the biggest gun humans have built._
Greetings, Mentlegent! For the Rhyhtm that is Algo Story 1: You think war is your ally? We were shaped by it. Molded by it. You merely adopted war. Story 2: Oh, we can build them much bigger than that.
You've a long list of backlog to catch up on. I even started my own collection of his audiobooks and NetNarrator's, (They do many of the same stories) just so i wouldn't have to hunt down any particular story or series i want to hear again.
I am a recent subscription as well and ive not found anything about these i dont like. If had to complain its the algorithm lumping scp foundation stories in while im trying to listen to the squirrel but what can ya do other than skip
That second story is a grunts and crafts project i can get behind. Now to figure out how to strategically transfer that equipment to an alternate location.
No matter how big and bad you think yourself to be, there is always somebody bigger and badder just around the corner. The next step is to build a giant robot Marine to use the giant M1 Garand. OORAH!
The clip isn't discarded when loading a Garand, it goes into the weapon. They ping at the end is the clip being ejected with the casing of the last round.
Imagine how big a clip would have to be to hold seven 30-inch shells. The Gustav gun's 31.5" shells weighted 5,000-7,000kg depending on type, and were almost four meters long, so that's roughly what we're talking about here.
As someone who's recently gotten into guns, I understand the humans in the second story perfectly. Man, it's fun to fire my AR-10 in .308 Winchester, can you imagine how glorious it would be to use a Garand the size of a battleship? 😂
@10:15. What is the “as the 3 ton ‘clip’ discarded to left” I have never owned one. But the enblock ‘clip’ goes in. Causes the ping. Maybe they made a dust, rain cover?
2nd story reminds me of a short mass effect x Pacific Rim fanfiction. When humanity brought out the giant fighting robots to beat the reapers, the council were asking them why they hadn't let the rest of the galaxy know they had giant fighting robots and the human councilor looks bewildered, because the giant fighting robots were in the first contact package, but everyone else assumed they were movies lmao. And the Salarian, the intelligent aliens were in deep contemplations because, where every other race would question wild ventures, he found it was only humanity that would shrug and say "why not?"
Humans: You believe war to be your ally. But you only adopted warfare. We were born to it. Molded by it. We did not know peace till we conquered ourselves.
That second story was funny and brings up a great scifi idea. Sure there are mining worlds, agri worlds, tech worlds, forge worlds and defense worlds. But this is a first: United States Marine Corps worlds! oorah!
Story 2 LOMA I though omg they built an M1 Grand when I heard the giant clip and the ping at the end, After thought were did those 30inch shells land and how much landscape was left? Story 1 Oh dear Aliens need to learn we humans are War we have been fighting and molded into war for so long.
Im trying to find a Agro video that I never got to finish. Its about a aliean vessel that finds a long lost research vessel that had all the inhabitants interred with honors by Humanity.
ngl the more stories i read about what seems to be odd human behavior or hidden traits that they suppress the more i feel like a completely normal person despite having autism, adhd and anxiety with a little sprinkle of trauma
This is what you get when you have whole bunch of gun nutt engineers with too much time and resources on their hands, and not a lot of "reasonable" supervision overseeing them.
So you have the star destroying long range gun, the middle defence M1..... so, close combat capabilities? May i suggest a Bayonet for fixing? Your welcome to ask WHY!
It was not simply ANOTHER Giant Gun... Twas THE Giant Gun. All others couldn't compare to it's majesty.
Hear me out; what if we made it...
EVEN BIGGER?
@@joethomas8464This guy gets it.
"They made this giant gun, biggest gun ever made. It remained the biggest gun in the universe... for a week. Humans really are insane"
Ann, Right! 😈
Would be even funnier if the alien had pressed all the 8 times instead of just once, answering their own question of "why"
Love how the second clip was literally just humanity arming a planet with a giant M1 garand
Because why not
@@fabianholmgren9399 You know what, fair point.
I am quite convinced this is what post-scarcity humans would do. I expect it to replace pumpkin-chucking trebuchets as a pastime
"Why?"
"Because we can, so why not?"
30 inch projectile means it's 1000x larger than the standard model
I think the narration of my story was fun. Thanks for the reading Agro mate.
The second story...he should be less worried about asking 'Why?', and more worried about finding out where they're building the rest of the giant robot body to go with that mechanical arm.. :-)
I was thinking the same thing
There is no way humans would build a massive scale gun and not build a robot suit to fire it!
@@TheStarMachine2000 The fact the commander just laughed at it means this wasn't the first time this happened either.
I wonder where the shells are going to hit..
“Why?”
Just to say that we can
'WHY!?!?'
'Cause chicks dig giant robots.'
This is probably why aliens don't contact us. We're absolute menaces.
at least elephants think we are cute, and that is good enough for me
@truekurayami until we mess with them too much then they go all "pet the kitty too hard" mode.
@@alna2530 true, still nice to know another living creature looks at us the same way we look at puppies/kittens even with as horrible we can be.
@@truekurayamiDo you want the Red pill or the blue one?
Can you imagine if aliens were listening to hfy? They'd either be terrified or very confused 😂 I'd stay away too
Build 2 more. With 7 rounds per rifle you have a 21 round salute.
Greatest mark of honor ever
Why not build 7 of them for full team
Half the planet is going to know someone's being honored and I am all in for this.
M1's ues an 8 round 'in block clip'.
@@SherryPM72 I was thinking, 1 + 7 more... followed by a PING. Oh and its said out loud!

Not only did they make a giant gun, but they also got the big red button down too. Nice!!

*PLOT TWIST:*
The engineering crew immediately set about designing and building a combat mech capable of using said giant M1...
twist the twist - it was built from discarded parts from such mech
They already got the arms
Side note about that 30-inch gun story:
Humans did indeed build a gun that big, although it wasn't a scaled-up M1. The Gustav gun built by Nazi Germany in WW2 was 80cm/31.5" bore, weighed over 1,300 metric tons, and launched _seven-metric-ton_ shells _almost 50km._
_And it's not even the biggest gun humans have built._
“You may have adopted war, but we were born in it, molded by it.”
Then they made a sister gun so they could 'First Rank Fire, Second Rank Fire'.
And the Inspector retired early.
The first mention of a loud metallic ping made me chuckle. Of course it just had to be a giant M1!
we need more why nots in our life. Here is your like and comment.
why'd you put the blueberry cat in the microwave?
me: why not?
Can a giant mechanical arm get "Garand Thumb"?
If you build it correctly, absolutely. If anything, I don't think it could be considered complete without that feature.
@@venoltar I concur. 🤣
It would be a major design flaw if it didn't 😁
It has a pinky that holds the bolt open while loading the clip.
enjoyed both stories and the narration sir
the 2nd story was just sheer magnificent in awesomeness
I still have a M1 Garand. I still hunt with it. I would love to see one that fecking BIG!
Greetings, Mentlegent!
For the Rhyhtm that is Algo
Story 1: You think war is your ally? We were shaped by it. Molded by it. You merely adopted war.
Story 2: Oh, we can build them much bigger than that.
Recently found your channel and have been entertained mightily. Another sub you have earned this day. Looking forward to your next offering.
You've a long list of backlog to catch up on.

That second story is a grunts and crafts project i can get behind.
Now to figure out how to strategically transfer that equipment to an alternate location.
Just what humanity needed, a 100 scale version of the M1 Garand.
I still have my grandfather's Garand from WW II. The sling, a crap load of clips, the bayonet, plus other stuff.
It's Gotta be the Garand
No matter how big and bad you think yourself to be, there is always somebody bigger and badder just around the corner.
The next step is to build a giant robot Marine to use the giant M1 Garand. OORAH!

I too, at first, asked why. Then I heard it wasn't just a giant gun but a giant Garand. Then it all made sense.
"Thirty inch Garand"? I assume that means the caliber of the gun, if so, that is a factor of only 100X.
Nice. Classic selection of weapons.
Story 2: "Next step, make a mech that can carry the gun normally"
This is my lifestyle mentality "you never need a reason to do something. You only need a reason not to."
I'm sure this is gonna be a great story!
Thank you for the reading
The giant gun story is priceless.
There was an episode from a youtuber where they had an M1 recreate itself into an Imperator Titan class weapon. I think this is it and its AWESOME
Because why not is the catch phrase for everything cool that has been built.
Theres is a reason we squeal at the M1 pling... its the child inside every one that delights at the satisfiying sound
As someone who's recently gotten into guns, I understand the humans in the second story perfectly. Man, it's fun to fire my AR-10 in .308 Winchester, can you imagine how glorious it would be to use a Garand the size of a battleship? 😂
Never leave a blank check around the Grunts. This is what happens. A 30" shell M1. Because "Why Not?"
In all honesty though... a giant m1 grand would be pretty awesome...
nothing is more satisfying than the garand ping =w=
That 2nd story puts the "Art" in "Art of War."
Thanks for another great story
@10:15. What is the “as the 3 ton ‘clip’ discarded to left” I have never owned one. But the enblock ‘clip’ goes in. Causes the ping. Maybe they made a dust, rain cover?
That giant train/canon gustav from germans in ww2 had 31.5 in barrel, so the gun in story 2 have a similar size to it, probably.
😂 I hear the ping sound as clear as day. Mmm satisfying
Second story killed me, omg giant M1 Garand... sounds like something we would do just for the lolz.

Ladies, gentlemen, and my often forgotten, but not by me.... Class 4 standard plasma rifles. Welcome to the channel!
As an owner of a garand I REALLY like the second stor6. Something like an auto loader with a standard transmission.

The rest of the galaxy should be thankful we fight amongst ourselves.

Wait until you find out they're building bayonets to put on that beauty.
Humans: You believe war to be your ally. But you only adopted warfare. We were born to it. Molded by it. We did not know peace till we conquered ourselves.
And by then it was too late.
The most human phrase "why not"
I like to call this the Ridiculously OverPowered Weapon... version 3.
I mean, the giant robots need weapons too.
Answer to why is because we can and it was fun to make so why not
we couldn't stop the other other other actual giant gun
