Many old palaces and mansions arranged weapons as art especially in the foyer. This doubled as a display of wealth and a town armory so to speak. This was practiced up until about 200 years ago, even in America.
I dont see how people can find beauty in that ***** or say "whoa, that's awesome!" Those are instruments of death.... what would be more realistic and artistic would be if they were splattered with the blood and brains of the people they sent lead splashing through. *****, people, why would anyone take something as macabre as bayonets and rifles and make a ***** display out of it that would be described as "beautiful?" What the hell are they showing off anyways, their power to take life away?
The last picture is a B-52 (with one doing a fly-by in the background) at "full static display of arms." Yes, they can really put all that stuff in/on a B-52 at once.
I thought I was the only one who laid out weapons on the floor in geometric and aesthetically pleasing patterns and took photos of them. Nice to know I'm not alone.
the word nihilistic does not apply here
nihilism |ˈnīəˌlizəm; ˈnē-|
noun
the rejection of all religious and moral principles, often in the belief that life is meaningless.
If that center package was loaded [with the 8 CALCM's] you could not load all those bombs, and vice versa. Plus, you can see there are already bombs hanging from the external bomb racks, so they couldn't load the two trailers full of CALCM's [left] and nuclear/stealth ACMs [right] [which have now been retired and are being converted to non-nukes].
There are singles of a couple bombs behind the rows, I see a couple JDAMS, Harpoon, a high drag MK-82, and a couple laser-guided GBU's. The bombs all pretty and lined up in the front are 500lb MK-82's, 750lb M-117's.
