Yeah, that thing was bigger up close than I expected. It might as well be a P-50 turned on its side without the projector.
Kicking it in the siren party since '08

Yep, I know. However, I called them asking the price and they said they had been out of production for the last year or so. It is sad!

Well, I wouldn't say that they are rarely used. In my tri-county area, we had 80 of them installed back in the 80's. Sure, they aren't famous like bolts or 2001s, but they are out there. People just assume they are bird houses. hahahaha

as far as I know, yes. A P-50/T-135 is a Cyclone turned sideways and mounted in the bottom of a huge bucket.
