Traditions of rapid and accurate fire,” he reminded his audience, “ date back Rifles, as we had obtained with the long-bow in the 14th century. We must aim at producing the same superiority of fire with our Look to our past military history, and fall back on traditions now sixĬenturies old. Impossible to obtain superiority of fire.
Only two Maxim guns, of a heavy and out-of-date pattern. as McMahon saw it- was becoming desperate. In view of the increasing German menace, the situation for Britain It seems to me more likely that Pridham had probably known Snoxall, Mapp and Wallingford. This seems unlikely, given that the only reference to Sergeant Snoxall's record was published in 1945, after both WW1 and WW2 had ended and near the end of the service life of the Lee-Enfield rifles with the British armed forces. It is sometimes suggested that the 38 rounds per minute was WW1-era British propaganda. For some reason, the forename 'Alfred' has also been frequently attached to mention of Sgt.-Instructor Snoxall, which has only served to cause further confusion to the many people who have attempted to find his WW1 service records. Snoxall's impressive achievement into a super-human, Terminator-like feat of speed and accuracy. This version has since become a firmly-established internet myth, changing Sgt. It seems that the claim that all of Snoxall's 38 rounds had hit a 12" bulls-eye was an error in Ian Hogg's book ‘The Encyclopedia of Weaponry’. The 'inner ring' mentioned was 24 inches in diameter the "12 inch figure 5" was the 12 inch x 12 inch silhouette aiming mark.Ī 12 inch bulls-eye is often mentioned in connection with the Mad Minute practise.

One last idea for the madness minute is of course to pretend you are someone else by changing your display name. The glory that is the msn madness minute is reinforced by the fact that it is not able to determine who started it, as well as which people added who, but one can summise that the person yelling 'DICKS AND TITTIES' probably had something to do with it (although some people who have been added give there two-cents worth!). It is called the msn madness minute, because almost every time either all the people will leave (the online people anyway) or msn will crash and burn due to the insane ammount of people added to one convo. and often includes adding pornographic images and moving emoticons to spam and disgust the added people. This is followed by fast, erratic postings of words in capitals such as 'PENIS' and 'DILDO' and 'MMM COCK' and 'FUCK SHIT CUNT' etc.
It is initiated by a 2-3 person conversation whereby each person adds every online contact they have, creating one mega-convo. The msn madness minute is a very amusing, annoying (for the recipients) game for two or more msn users.
