    Nitrox for depth is a bad idea. On the other hand, Nitrox for longer No Decompression Limits is awesome :)

    True true. I was thinking more extended depth time over actual depth.

    Yup, and then you can use a rebreather. Variable nitrox mixer on your back. Constant PO2 of 1.3 at any depth. Add a bit of narcosis beating Helium into the loop and you are ready to rock.
    Sorry for the thread hijack, will keep quiet now...

    PMP also supplied a huge portion of the small arms ammo used in Desert Storm I 1991.

    My understanding is that 70% of all the 303Br Mk7 ammo used in WW2 was produced by the SA Mint (SAM headstamp). More accurate figures would be welcome.
