Greatest coincidence? Just a statistical inevitability considering the amount of bullets fired.

Yes, a clip LOADS a magazine.

That one bullet may have saved four lives

Bruh. It was a German who shot the cartridge

bigmuffin1
Good thing it didn't ignite the cordite
SeaGods
That would blow
tomyironmane
The British switched to double base smokeless fairly early on, due to the thermal sensitivity of cordite causing unsafe chamber pressures.
bigmuffin1
I still occasionally find cordite rounds when buying old surplus. Mostly Egyptian and Indian 8mm and .303
tomyironmane
Yet another reason to never buy ammo from any place you wouldn't drink the water.

I only have 12 bullets, so you're gonna have to share.

SlightlyRelatedToThePost
I have a sudden urge to play Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2.
bigmacked4
would the heat of the incoming bullet not ignite the powder of the other 4?
TheWarHymn
Unless it was an incendiary round, no.
bigmacked4
could it sparks from hitting the jacket of the bullets ignite it?
TheWarHymn
Very unlikely, as copper and brass don't produce sparks.
bigmacked4
ah my world makes much more sense now, thanks man:)
TheIncredibleOnion
I found a cartridge once on a battle field between France and Germany. It was pretty impressive, my friend found a grenade-piece too!
WantonSongZoso
Wonder how many times bullets went into grenades, not quite the same outcome I'd imagine. Though I wonder maybe if they wouldn't explode?
TheWarHymn
Depends on where it hits. As most wwi grenades were filled with TNT, hitting just the explosive filler would had done nothing /2
TheWarHymn
As TNT needs a initator to detonate. Same for French cheddite type grenade fillers. Need to hit the initator cap or loosen the firing pin.
WantonSongZoso
Interesting. Thank you.

As a German who chats with both I can confirm. This is accurate.
Anatoos
Every surviving concentration camp prisoner was a huge WWII coincidence
SmashingBrickCastration
I don't think that word means exactly what you think it means
Anatoos
Do elaborate?
SmashingBrickCastration
There were many people who survived the camps and the clear cause was the end of the war and or liberation of those captured.
SmashingBrickCastration
Coincidence is when two ideas or things happen without a connection or common cause. But both items are later some how related.
Anatoos
The ones still alive when liberated were insanely lucky, as toughness alone wasn't enough to survive. That's what I meant by coincidence.
SmashingBrickCastration
True statements, still not the best use of that word
onefaller
proper use of "clip"
rezexelon
From back when the public and the media were educated on such topics instead of it being a divisive issue.
DrFolk
Even cartridge and bullet are used correctly.
criablelurst
Hardly a coincidence is it? Millions of bullets flying around, kinda inevitable.

My favprote WWII Coincidences is nuking Japan and they didn't expect it just like we didn't expect Pearl Harbor.
CommanderWilliamTRiker
Both Japan and the US were aware of the impending attacks. US radioman didn't relay message and Japanese didn't listen. Check your facts.
gnomophobic
haha wow that's crazy
happytreeleaf
The firebombing of Tokyo had 100k casualties, about the same as Hiroshima. The difference is that there were 60 cities firebombed.
happytreeleaf
which indicates that the Soviets joining the war, rather than atomic bombs caused them to surrender.
IsayMEANthingsFROMtimeTOtime
Im not 100% sure, but didn't we do more damage to military/civilian infrastructure and cause more casualties with the firebombing campaigns
CocaineAndSelfPleasure
IIRC I think so. Tokyo was lit on fire.

Actually, America dropped millions of leaflets on dozens of cities warning of impending attack. Better than nothing, I guess.

You smell like poop.

As I said. They didn't expect it. They were dumbasses.
BeenthereDonesome
Do you really think that those people reading the paper that told them that they will win would prepare them for a nuke?
FuckMeFuckYou
What are you even saying? US dropped leaflets all over the target areas of Japan saying they were going to drop bombs & they should evacuate

I'm pretty sure it said "We're blowing this shit up." ~Hugs and Kisses, America.

It's actually a pretty interesting and nuanced subject. Japan was ready to surrender, pre-nuke, but not unconditionally.
thepowerserge
You mean Native Canadian Right?
grundig79
Supplies!
easybrz
Well except that they agreed to a conditional surrender because they were afraid of a Russian invasion but America wanted an unconditional/2
easybrz
Surender so they dropped two nukes More or less because America wanted to show Russia that they had the bomb even though Russia already knew
mulligylan
Honestly, the last half is true but Japan and Nazi Germany never stood a chance of conditional surrender and rightly so.
GuyDarras
(2/2) "promised" to prosecute their own war criminals. There was no way that would be acceptable for the Allied powers.
GuyDarras
The terms Japan wanted would have basically preserved the Imperial government and prohibited occupation of mainland Japan while they (1/2)

known asian issue: L's are hard... so they sound 'r' when spoken.

SwordLord10
Not true, Kyoto was replaced by Nagasaki more then 2 months before the bomb was dropped
tomyironmane
Not True, Kyoto was removed from the bombing list because Secretary of War Stimson had his honeymoon there, and had loved the city.
thealmightywalrus420
Alright well at least two of us are wrong. Is there a bot for this?
GlazedHamRiot
We gave em warning and they were just like, "youre bluffing"
CatsIsTheAnswer
Which isn't completely unreasonable: "we invented a new bomb that will obliterate an entire city" AHAHAHAHA OK
SwordLord10
Why didn't they believe after the first bomb?
TresusIbor
I THINK they thought we only had one and we just blew our load early?
d0o0o0d
They didn't think we had more than one.
Aquilarden
They thought they could still swing a conditional surrender, which was clearly not the case. 2nd bomb was "Yeah, we're not doing that" and>>
Aquilarden
>>at the same time show Russia we weren't fucking around.
itsprobablysarcastic
Please understand that US had huge advanced notice of Japanese plans to bomb pearl harbor. We just REALLY wanted to try out our nukes
Justmakingthingsup
Some would say we did know about pearl harbor but let it happen to get public support for joining the war

Not technically correct. But if you go to Pearl Harbor they should a video about how we misread a lot of intel that could have prevented it.

Except that the United States warned the shit out of them and they refused to listen
OtterlyMagnificent
The guy who MADE the plan to attack Pearl Harbor warned them. Before they did it. He said not to. Because we aren't nice when we revenge.
MoxxRavenmane
And Australia warned of a fleet of Japanese heading towards Pearl Harbor. They didn't listen either.
CleverlyReferencedThing
SwordLord10
That is a conspiracy theory, and a fringe one at that. There is no actual evidence anyone except the Japanese knew it was coming
Bob64
The radar station warned of multiple contacts but the admiral in charge didn't listen.
McDouggal
TBF, they were expecting a flight of American planes to come in. Wouldn't have been out of the question for them to have gone off course.
Bob64
Sonar also picked up contacts at the mouth of the harbor.
thealmightywalrus420
The US needed a reason to join the war.
Moonsmoonsmoons
Even assuming that's true, which it's not, losing half your navy is an extremely costly way to do that.
Caphalor
Losing half your navy doesn't matter if your navy is 10 times the size of the other largest navy
CamelSpotter
Well, if it makes things better for us, Japan only really destroyed 3 ships; two of which were outdated and were passed over for repairs.
semtex94
Could've used the sub warfare cause from ww1 to declare war on Germany and then Japan due to being an ally.
CotterPyke
they probably weren't allowed to do anything even if they believed the leaflets and wanted to leave the city - "defeatism".
CotterPyke
Germans And Japanese regularly executed or sent to "disciplinary battalions" (clearing mines) soldiers accused of "defeatism"
pheran
To be fair, "We have a superweapon that will destroy an entire city" was probably pretty difficult to believe in 1945.

It'd be difficult to believe now if I didn't know it to be true.

'They can't have two of those can they?'

We did drop papers warning them but there's also the fact that Japan had no clue that the bombs were that devastating. Them not... 1/2
ebonfever
....surrendering to the flyers makes sense.
JarethCutestory
The first time maybe. Leadership was pretty stubborn.
ebonfever
Oh, yeah. No doubt. Not making excuses or anything for them. Them not surrendering after the first bomb is on the leadership of Japan.
