Question for the Amiga experts:

I had an A500 as a kid, 1 meg of ram, one floppy drive, Kickstart 1.3. I would have loved to have a harddisk, but that was impossible for me to get.

So I'm interested in exploring, if I had gotten a harddrive for this machine back in the 90s, what would I have been able to do with it? Are there any good (contemporary) resources I could check out?

Most harddrive tutorials talk about modern things like WHD load, but I'm not interested in this, I want to know what the original experience back then would have been like. Any suggestions?

Anti Material Sniper Rifle

A lot of fun is made in this video, with some serious antimaterial sniper rifles. Instead of talking a lot about them, I invite you to have a look at the video. It's fun to watch

facts:

A sniper rifle is a high-precision, long-range rifle. Requirements include high accuracy, reliability, mobility, concealment, and optics, for anti-personnel, anti-materiel and surveillance uses by military snipers. The modern sniper rifle is a portable shoulder-fired rifle with either a bolt action or semi-automatic action, fitted with a telescopic sight for extreme accuracy and chambered for a high-ballistic performance centerfire cartridge.

20th century

During the Second Boer War, the latest breech-loading rifles with magazines and smokeless powder were used by both sides. The British were equipped with the Lee–Metford rifle, while the Boers had received the latest Mauser Model 1895 rifles from Germany. In the open terrain of South Africa, the marksman was a crucial component in battle. The Lovat Scouts was a British Army unit formed in 1899 that was renowned for the expert marksmanship and stalking skills of its personnel. The men wore ghillie suits for camouflage and were expertly skilled in observation. Hesketh Hesketh-Prichard said of them that "keener men never lived".[5] After the Boer War, the Scouts became the first official sniper unit in the British Army.
