In fact, reading more, Dawood Ibrahim Kaskar and his Mumbai underworld outfit, D-Company, seems similar to Pops in more than just name.

lol yeah, see through blouse and short denim skirt is definitely more nightclub/party girl wear.
Not sure how Gracie's managed to self justify the decency aspect, here, tbh. :unsure::ROFLMAO:
Gracie: (when MC narrows his eye at her looking at her attire) Oh stop looking at me like that! Unlike you, my intention is pure. This is purely for study, for me to learn.

:LOL::ROFLMAO:
If she says that, I don't know whether she actually believes that, or she thinks otherwise and is trying to be in denial (perhaps a bit of both, heh).

Ha ha ha, yeah, I'm with you & definitely opting for "a bit of both"! :ROFLMAO:

IDK, what do you reckon?

By the time he was in his late teens, the ‘Karim Lala’ gang and the ‘Haji Mastan’ gang had become highly infamous, which led a young Dawood Ibrahim (Pops) Kaskar to join hands with them.
His aspirations to become an underworld leader had him indulge in mild scuffles with his gang members. He mostly fought for Haji Mastan.
The famous gang war between the ‘Haji Mastan’ gang and the ‘Pathan’ gang turned him into a feared entity.

When the ‘Pathan’ gang killed Sabir, one of Dawood’s brothers, all hell broke loose. Gangster Manya Surve was allegedly involved in the murder and joined hands with the ‘Pathans’ to fight Dawood and the ‘Haji Mastan’ gang. This was one of the deadliest underworld wars that Mumbai had ever seen.
Dawood wiped out the entire ‘Surve’ and ‘Pathan’ gangs along with their comrades.

Dawood took over the Mumbai gang scene as soon as Haji Mastan entered politics. By then, he had already established the ‘D-Company’ and had moved to Dubai. He operated his businesses from Dubai and created the biggest Indian “hawala” racket. He also smuggled arms and drugs.

Between 1983 and 1988, at the age of 28, he went on a rampage and destroyed all major gangs in Mumbai, thereby becoming the undisputed leader of the Mumbai underworld. He forced the seasoned criminal Karim Lala to enter into a truce with him. The truce took place in Mecca. Such rampant killings scared people to death, and no other gang tried to rival him.

Dawood moved to Dubai in 1986 and formed an alliance with the local “sheikhs” to strengthen his influence. He loved inciting fear in people and soon became one of the most-feared ganglords in Dubai too.


Definitely sounds like Pops' level of brutality!

MC responds: Your intent is only pure, if the subject matter of your study is, also.
Why are you attempting to learn about looking sexy? There is nothing pure about that intent.

Gracie thinks, then pouts: Hmph!

For the next class, please calculate the velocity of the bullets, using Newtonian and Einsteinian laws of motion.
Well unless something really weird is going on, her bullets will be << c. Speaking of weird, is it just me or does it look like she's got a 'shoot the whole bullet' thing going on à la Portal?

Yes, the two values should be very close. The Einsteinian calculation would have the bullets going slightly slower (very very very ... slightly slower), but would also be slightly more massive to conserve momentum. A rough calculation places the difference as somewhere around one in ten million (1/10,000,000). Sorry, nerd brain. :geek:

You're right, she does seem to be shooting the bullet and casing. Perhaps a new rocket pistol where there is propellant firing out of the back of the "casing?" The plume of flame seems to be coming from the bullet, not the pistol, and the round on the right seems to be veering even farther to the right. Target seeking round?

Sorry again. :rolleyes:

I didn't check now, but that's way more of a difference than I would have expected actually ...

For the picture, I can say that it depend a lot on the actual capering. It is possible to freeze, even bullets, completely in time.
So I don't see the issue here.
The other two points (bullet jacket and flames) I agree. Also the pistols would needed to eject the jacket and therefore a part of the pistols need to be move back, so the jacket actually could be ejected.
For my nerd mode, how high would be the recoil force and how much would it have an influence over the gravitational force that Luna is exposed to.

Not sure what capering means in this context. Sorry.

Yes, if the flames were exiting the barrel, they should flare out toward the bullet. As it appears right now, they are flaring out from the bullet. I figure it would be difficult to find a model of the pistol in that part of the cycle. Would be a nice touch if one could add it.
For my nerd mode, how high would be the recoil force and how much would it have an influence over the gravitational force that Luna is exposed to.
Probably not significant. I think her downward acceleration due to gravity would not be significantly changed by the upward force of the kick-back. It might cause her to drift backwards in the horizontal a bit.

Perhaps with a higher caliber and a fully automatic rate of fire...
