check headspace.
I took it out back and dropped it on an empty chamber, checked headspace with a feeler gauge, then I loaded a mag with one round and dropped it on that and checked headspace again. then did it with a loaded mag.
for roller delay guns the gap between the bolt head and the bolt carrier shows you how far out the rollers are, if that gap is correct, then the rollers are properly deployed.
if the rollers are properly deployed, then the lockup is good.

I recently engage in a very heated discussion with someone, the topic is about the SPAAG vs MBT.

Can a SPAAG kill an MBT, assuming all conditions are ideal (terrain, SPAAG has full view and in cover, MBT doesn't spot SPAAG)?

not efficiently or effectively

a mission kill is a fluke that cannot be predicted

At the time the OTOMATIC was being offered for sale, militaries were starting to transition to primarily missile-based air defense systems. Even the Italian army skipped out on it.
Quite unfortunate really, it was a really interesting and cool tank.
OTO Melara did try it again with the Centauro DRACO (different turret with the same 76mm Super Rapido but on a Centauro hull) some time ago, but that too didn't go anywhere as far as I've seen.

>Built-in batteries are an anti-consumer cancer

This, a hundred times.
Companies (starting with Apple because of fucking course) started pushing for non-user-replaceable batteries in the name of "better weatherproofing" and "thinner and more streamlined design" but the real reason was always extremely simple.
Unlike all of the other electronic components, the battery is an explicitly consumable item. It WILL degrade and fail, and when that happens, 99% of consumers will just buy a new product.

Recently some norks visited a russian gun factory and bought some DVL-10 rifles from Lobaev Arms. All the paperwork was in order and it was done perfectly legal. Then they brought the rifles home and the norks have apparently just reverse engineered and started manufacturing it themselves according to russian sources.

I've always wondered, do the russians not get salty about the chinks and norks taking advantage of them and just copying all their designs? The least they could do is pay royalties.

the way you stop actual piracy: with overwhelming military might.
if you can't, piracy it is. copyrights is a retarded concept anyway (i suspect jews invented it). Especially so when software is concerned and it takes literal seconds to copy/paste the product. Let the whole humanity benefit from the good stuff and compete in manufacturing quality.

>Yakuza are often Korean.
Absolutely, but I wouldn't refer to a Yakuza-owned pachinko parlor, bar, strip club, etc, as a Korean one even though many of their members are Koreans, at least if we're talking about the traditional sense of the word Yakuza, i.e. Yamaguchi-gumi, Sumiyoshi-kai, etc.

>>61657789
>But the norks also make their own yakuza to exploit and manage the north korean populace in Japans nork ghettos
So basically jopok?
>>
>>61658342
Since they are government backed Koreans can do shit the Yakuza can only dream of, like state backed counterfeiting, drug production, military trained assassins, access to things like cargo subs (Japan has actually captured a few) and real guns. The two groups are very intertwined.

Yes, except the leaders are North Korean intel operatives.

Why don't they just make a main battle SPG? If you have an autoloading 155mm it can take out tanks with direct fire. With high elevation and proxy fuses it can also kill drones and helicopters. There's no need for different ammo types, 155mm HE with a programmable proxy fuse can perform all roles.

I was reading about the British thermonuclear weapons program and it appears that between 1952 and 1958 the USA basically stopped cooperating with the UK on nuclear weapons development (in part out of paranoia over spying and in part because the fucking Labor government handed the fucking jet engine to the Soviet). As a result the British were forced to continue developing a hydrogen bomb on their own and all their attempts were laughable and basically all consisted of jamming lithium-deuteride into a standard implosion fission bomb in various configurations with no success. It wasn't until 1958 that the USA reestablished a joint nuclear program that the UK was able to build a reliable thermonuclear device.

Why was this? Britain had tons of brilliant scientist hanging around. After all, they cracked Enigma and basically invented the programable computer during WW2. Why was building a hydrogen bomb so difficult? Given what they know now would the UK be able to built a domestic H-bomb design if the US stopped sharing nuclear secrets for some reason?

When the US is offering a really fat paycheck along with better opportunities to carry out your research a lot of people will sign up even if their current home isn't an impoverished hellhole. Though if it is then that'll certainly make the offer even sweeter.

A zombie can "survive" being a head and neck on the ground but it's functionally zero threat.
any broken bone between the ankle and the pelvis is going to reduce a zombie's effectiveness by an order of magnitude.

Also if you think you dont need your chest and back muscles to grapple, I can tell you've never had to do labor in your entire life. A zombie with shredded muscles is just a groaning lawn ornament.

Basically a zombie can "survive" almost any injury, but almost any injury reduces it's effectiveness exponentially.

>Not necessarily, also what if animals turned into zombies like bats, rats and birds. They could kill/infect people without causing major injuries.
1. That's leaving behind the type of zombies I criticized
2. If you need an army of instant death mosquitos to "help" your monster take on regular humans, then he doesn't sound that powerful. Basically anything that adds something to a zombie movie that would collapse civilization without the regular zombie's help whatsoever turns the whole zombie thing into a joke, an afterthought.

here is some mall ninja shit. If you are planning on buying a "do it all shotgun" like you want something for HD but also to hunt or clays, you are better off getting a 20 inch turkey barrel over a 18.5 incher for HD. the 20 inch turkey barrel will have vent ribs on it and you can use that to mount a red dot and now you have a QD barrel mounted red dot instead of having to use a bead or receiver mounted red dot. Especially considering you would be using the shotgun inside at night a red dot is a billion times better innahouse/mixed lighting/dark conditions than a bead is, even with a WML.
If you are getting a shotgun exclusively for HD, which is a why are you doing that in current year, then do whatever, you can receiver mount and some shotguns now are coming with optics cuts anyway.

Arent flame throwers outlawed? Why exactly is it legal to just put the flame thrower into a rocket and launch it at soldiers protected by the Geneva convention? There aren't any thermobaric HIMARS or other western built MLRS that use thermobarics to obliterate infantry.

The version 2 might not be as aesthetic, but it seems to be longer range and even more hell.
