The operation was actually a lot more complicated than that but essentially some wannabe street fighter got jumped by professional boxers, but the pros stayed around long enough to get a few of their own bruises. War is similar to actual fights, hit first and hit hard but end it quickly. Bigger stronger guy normally wins.

In any war there is pretext and subtext.
The pretext for this war changes weekly, but the subtext is that Russia wants the land and the inhabitants.

You shouldn't be chasing for spec values but they do exist and if you wanted to know what "better spec" values are there's a way to know which unit is desirable over another.
Most retailers won't post this info as they build NVDs to order, first come first serve, and depending on their grading scale of high, mid, low tier it may differ from retailers. If a retailer offer a “ready to ship” fully built units they will list the spec values. Hand select is an option from retailers that will try to match to your spec requirements.

Having two aiming points going at once is not ideal. Pick one or the other. I think IR illumination even with a pistol is still a good idea in some situations, but if you've a red dot you can go without the laser and just get an X300-V.

>but if you've a red dot you can go without the laser and just get an X300-V.
That's what common sense is telling me (even though I don't know much about NVGs and related lol). Which makes me question, is that why before micro red dots were a thing, everyone was using IR lasers with their nods? Regardless, ty for the help! :)
>>
>>61658752
I mean, LAMs are still objectively better for shooting and pussy passive copers can die mad about it.

Lasers were common on pistols since that was basically the only real way to shoot well with pistols. Because night vision has a very shallow depth of field, you can be focused on the front sight, the rear sight, or the target. This makes using irons pretty fucking hard unless you're really good at point shooting. Red dots solve this by superimposing the reticle on your target allowing you to successfully stay target focused.

To add, the bit that ended up against the rules were the locking gauntlets (which would be locked closed and thus make it near impossible for the king to drop his weapon). The rules change/clarification/ruling came in when the harness was "functionally" done, but before it had been decorated, thus the (relatively speaking) severely plain appearance. The other 1520 armour was the one made as its replacement.

Alas, at that point in his life it appears he was in decidedly poor health. Severely overweight, likely suffering from gout, with a festering leg wound that refused to heal since '36, and if the pus-filled boils hadn't quite shown up yet they soon would. He didn't live to see February of '47.

>There's a difference between overpressure that will leave a mark on the bolt face and overpressure that will shear 1.5 inch 12 tpi threads.
ok, what's the difference? you are very sure you know what they are, so what case pressure is required to generate so much force on the brass case head that it engraves the steel end cap?
>least fail safely
like how Barretts pop like balloons and blow massive trunnion pieces out?
>>
>>61658456
Well for example the .277 Fury requires a new case design because it's 80,000 psi is too much for brass cases.
Lentucky Ballistics said he loaded a 180,000 psi .50 BMG to blow the Serbu and the Barrett so think you can sort of see the difference there what pressures start to cause issues and what pressures actually up guns.

It is my opinion based on facts and logic that the SLAP round that blew the Serbu was in the .277 Fury level of overpressure and not 180,000 psi and that the failure was due to the design of the cap and could have been solved completely by the addition of one single vent hole.
>>
>>61658456
Oh and on the "fail safely" part, that was based on reading Hatchers notebook where he details that he wasn't able to get a Springfield M1903 to blow up in such a way that the shooter is at significant risk despite certainly trying his hardest.

You mean the thumb safety that's on the same side of the gun that's against your body?
At least with a Glock you only have to worry about keeping one thing clear of unwanted interactions and you won't have a compulsion to fuck with the trigger until a loud fart sends a round.

Best virgin brass is probably Lapua and maybe not as good you have Starline, Nosler, Norma and Hornady. Used brass LC is probably the best but you need to remove the primer crimp. WCC and PMC are also usable. Federal the primer pockets get loose after a few firings.
