The guy who made this thread looks like this.
>>65090430He didn't start going on podcasts to sell his book, because he didn't have one back then. He was to told to make a book after he went on and it's not even released yet until maybe next year the earliest.

Four payments of $355 instead of $1400 (canadian dollars)
>>65099259It'd be great if I could get a decent credit card with sub 10% APR off of some sezzle and klarna payments I just have autopull out of my account anyway >>65099262I am indeed not as retarded as some. atm im paying on some parts kits and im thinking about doing it for some other parts as well. I do need a cetme flat....
>>65099270Bad news bud, you’re the retarded Pepega. Responsible owners shop benefits, not interest rates. I thin I have something like a 22% APR but I get an easy flat 2% cash back on everything with no yearly fee. I don’t care about interest because I’ll never pay interest
>>65099275I dont have a CC yet man, but Ill look around when i am able to check my credit score. (phone atm is kil but i have replacement parts coming saturday to fix it)
>>65098094i went from 800 to 300 overnight with this one simple trick (I'm judgment-proof, btw, i show up in court and the debt collector's lawyers shit a cinderblock when i fill out my paperwork on time)
>>65099279Pretty sure anyone can get a citi double cash. If you have Amazon prime and want to flex on a date or picking up a tab with the lads the black card is metal instead of plastic, might need to build up some goyim points first tho
why can't they do this today, for like Medivac is nothing else.Get in and out at 400+mph and have a full trauma-center OR onboard.Sure the rest of the Op was retarded, but this ALMOST worked, just pilot error on first test.

>>65093372>fightlite wants $500+ for a feed tray>Lima Six wants $150Really makes you wonder where all that money goes for fightlite's garbage. Also,>needs a surplus MG34 spring to function>and that's not a guarantee
>>65096765>Really makes you wonder where all that money goes for fightlite's garbageI'm not joking in the slightest when I say it goes straight into the boomer owner's pocket. Owner doesn't give a single fuck about quality because he found a niche and people were buying every unit Fightlite could produce for the first decade of their existence. From my friend who worked there, the primary issue is that the cam track in the top cover is both poorly designed and produced to a nonexistent spec. Per him "you cannot physically produce an in spec one with the tooling they have, and the tooling is so bad the spec will vary wildly". This to my understanding is why they run so poorly (usually) and have issues feeding 55gr unlike the Turkshit. Per many people online, attempting warranty work will typically result in them asking you to pay for replacement parts that shouldn't have broken to begin with. Friend has told me Geoff Herring (the owner) is deathly terrified of even his own employees knowing where he lives. Fightlite doesn't have a public address either last I checked, just a PO box. Google doesn't even bring up much. And do you know why? Because it took Herring nearly a decade to start delivering his dogshit units from when he first started taking money from people, and then he screwed over tons of people along the way. That $500 feed tray you mentioned? He tried to use aluminum to save money briefly, but rounds would eat it up until it wouldn't feed anymore. The dude could've been the hero of the 2nd Amendment with his product and instead was the caricature of a miserly boomer who ridiculously overcharged his captive audience with one hand while providing a subpar garbage with the other. And if I haven't convinced you to hate the guy enough, he used to ship the uppers with semi auto bolt carriers and refused to sell SBR barrels unless you provided a tax stamp.
>>65096788On this I haven't seen total confirmation yet, but I saw some rumblings that extremely new production MCRs have the upper modified to not accept FRTs.
>>65096795I'm not sure how this could be possible if they expect them to still work with transferable lowers too, because for the most part they use the same geometry.
>>65098753Not entirely true, the FRTs need space between where the auto sear trip is located, and the rear takedown pin to fully pivot. Fightlite filled this in so it still works with an M16 lower but not with FRTs. Pic is current Fightlite spec, the cuts on the sides of the channel used to extend to the rear.
just how effective was this thing in WWII, really? I know that they did pretty well against North Korean T34s in Korea, but those were the later variants. Is there any reliable info about how well the earlier iterations of this thing did against German tanks?

Re-posting the 3.5 inch rocket test against armor since I found a different quality source (Transactions of Symposium on Shaped Charges Held at the Ballistic Research Laboratories, Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland on November 13-16 1951 AD0001531). It is part of a much larger (36 articles/reports in total) 407 page pdf that is all about shaped charges. Highly recommend this for anyone that wants to read more about the US post world war 2 development of shaped charges.

Thoughts on flying wing kamakazi drones?
>>65094015Makes a lot of sense. The Toyota costs about the same as a JATO rocket but it's near-infinitely reusable.
>>65095345>literally everyone of themDelta winged gliders and jets were abandoned now? Horten, lipisch and fauvel's gliders also flew fine, even the facetmobile is fully stable unlike the f117 that served as inspiration (which is a lot more unstable than the b-2 despite having a tail).
>>65094177Materials science issue. Make sapphire windows cheap and easy to clean and we can have transparent floors in the flying wings.
>>65095464>transparent floor >on airplanes I guess you are wayyy to autistic to understand why people wouldn't like it. But then let me introduce you to a new concept : you can't make random holes in a pressure vessel and expect it not to explode. Here's another concept : glass and crystals are very heavy and structurally weak compared to composites
>>65095464Why have windows at all? Why not use cameras and screens inside the aircraft, like on the X-59?

Did you know that building 4,000 strategic bombers costs more than 3 nuclear bombs? Isn't that amazing.
>>65098823Perhaps. Both the B-17 and B-24 had problems shared widely by 8th AF vets. B-17s had old-school 1930s exposed-riveted airframe structures, but was dirtier due to the oil-pressure driven supercharger (B-24 was electrically driven), the Wright R-1820s were known as oil slingers, and had main landing gear jam problems. B-24 engines were easier to replace, could be started by one man (B-17 required another crewmember to reach and push the hand primer pump) though its priming system could leak, it had a built in APU and the roomy flight deck, tricycle gear made it more comfy. LIberator was ideally suited as a naval bomber with its slender Davis wing, internal fuselage crew arrangement and along with Consolidated's Catalina were mainstays of the Allies' maritime patrol airfleet.
>>65089767Somehow I always thought they only made a very few amount of them like 50 at peak but no, they managed to build over 3900 of them in less than 10 years. I know technology is more advanced today and we're not in a world war but imagine if the US can shit out 900+ B21s per year.
>>65089767>the one thing that became obsolete less than a decade after the war while most of the rest of the list are still in active service was the most impressive. Interesting take.
>>65099065>3900 of them in less than 10 yearfour years total production including 1942 first prototypesThe postwar, different engines and airframe metal (aluminum alloy that was stronger and 16% lighter) B-50, that had originally been designated B-29D, was much smaller number of 370 manufactured late 1940s to early 50s (mainly because in 1944-46 jet propulsion had become a thing); but that development also spun off into the KC-97 Stratofreighter/tanker that had more than 800 built and was used by USAF into the 1970s. Older Superfortresses were also converted into KB-29 and KB-50 aerial refueling tankers.
>>65099090>'rest of the list still in active service'(whatever that^ even means)Many of the Air Force B-29 fleet were cocooned from 1946-1949, and refurbished for Korean War service (because USAF didn't want to risk its expensive new B-50s, B-47s for high altitude conventional bombing sorties in that conflict).1942-1950 saw probably the most amazing series of advances in aerospace technology and propulsion ever seen, and 1950-1970 another quantum leap beyond that. Even the B-50 only lasted about a decade in active service before being replaced by all-jet aircraft (not to mention the airline industry worldwide).Basic B-29 design, through direct evolution of the airframe and powerplants, became the foundation for the see^^^ above B-50 / Model 377 / KC-97, and into the Model 367-80 that became both the KC-135 and (separate) 707, via a series of fuselage and wing design changes. Along with the B-29 being the most produced yet pressurized cabin aircraft and the engineering/manufacturing foundation that provided for military aviation and civilian airliners from 1940s forward.Yes the B-29 is by far the most impressive mass production program ever done in America. Boeing's Renton plant, and Wichita (now Spirit Aerosystems) plant are globally recognized for many thousands of airliners.Offutt Air Force Base still utilizes the Martin Bomber Plant aka Air Force Plant 1 today, and United States Air Force Plant 6 aka the Bell-Atlanta factory is operated by Dobbins Air Reserve Base in Marietta, Georgia; so all the infrastructure constructed for the B-29 program at great wartime cost remains today.>"The B-29 was the biggest and most complicated thing that Americans ever tried to build in large numbers."—Jacob Vander Meulen, on the wartime government-industry B-29 organizational committee of 1941-44author of 'Building The B-29' (Smithsonian Institution Press, 1995)

I guess we better strike first then.
Makes it easier for existing dock infrastructure to handle. And it would be put onto military vessels.Because putting it on anything else would be the stupidest move China could make, especially as they boast about how they have more naval ships than the US and would *not* be the one starting a war. Putting them onto disguised platforms would only be useful in a first strike, one which would be met with the harshest type of retaliation imaginable.

>no
they can't YET build ships equal to USN tech, so they build lots of lower-tier, but still useful for anything short of all out peer-on-peer WW3.All those ships are needed for China's expanding empire and to protect their shipping, fishing, etc, and for TRAINING lots of sailors on modern warship ops.Soon, mostly due to Israeli stealing of US tech, China will be incorporating newest tech into ships before the USN does, largely due to USN ship building cluster fucks, and both Israeli selling of US tech to China and USN ship building cluster fucks only seem be getting worse, with no end in sight, due to Operation Epstein Furry and Trump's "golden fleet" idea.Just like jet fighters are now really just missile trucks and airframe isn't as important, ships are also missile barges, so its stupid to tear hair out trying to build a super-duper hull, and have it get cancelled after decades and billions of planning.
>>65088063>build a bunch of shitscrapper vessels because your brass correctly assessed their shipbuilding capabilities (basically mid-century) vs the current surface warfare meta (guided munitions, missiles, and drone spam)>this is somehow worthy of a threadCongratulations, the Chicoms have eyes and ears. I don't even like the USN and they're STILL clearly more capable than the PLAN at anything that isn't "sail brazenly in an area where you technically aren't allowed because you know you won't get shot at".Ok, WW3 drops TOMORROW. Something awful happens and Xing Ling Pingping has no choice but to call forth the might of the People's Armed Forces. What do the Chinese actually have? Their troops, airmen, and sailors drill quite regularly, but have scant little shooting experience post-Vietnam, minus policing actions, and the soldiers are still armed with rifles that keyhole at <20yds. Most of their armor is a copy of a copy, equally unproven. Their air fleet is worryingly held together by stretching stolen technical packages thin over their threadbare understanding of post-Gen-3 combat aircraft design and materials manufacturing. Ditto for their ships. Their subs, particularly the Type 093A, and their ballistic missile forces, are basically the only warfighting forces worth mentioning that pose a credible threat to any opposing force larger than regional. The Chinese found out quite quickly in Vietnam that Korea was NOT how it would be all the time, and that quantity is NOT necessarily a quality all its own.As it stands, they're quite content taking everyone's money for manufacturing everything under the sun that gayified countries won't, using that socioeconomic fiat to shove their weight around as the big fish of the region, and using that "blind spot" to remain nominally non-hostile while they hack amd spy on everyone. They're not so much a fighting nation nowadays. With China, it's Death By Degrees.
