Everybody else copied the F-22, and not the YF-23.I guess that was what the US airforce had in mind when they got the F-22, they saved the YF-23 design for later. Because it was way too advanced.From what I've read, everything the YF-22 could do, the YF-23 could do better.Better stealth, better supercruise, better payload, same maneuverability even without thurst vector.South Korea, Turkey, EU, China. Everybody got inspired by the F-22, none of them got a single thing from the YF-23.Now the US can just pull the F-23 out of their sleeves and say "HA, THIS ONE WAS BETTER ALL ALONG!"
>>64471654You know when people sound like this... you just... well you hit them. I'm sorry to be like that but it's the only way. You hit 'em real hard and punch right through like you been taught. That's just what you do, any cop'll understand.
>>64478267You have zero understanding of how easy it is for a plane of that design to exceed structural g limits simply if the flight system allowed total pilot control, no intervention.650 knots at 38,000 feet is a hell of a lot of air to move through.
>>64465997The YF23 could do anything but get adopted or influence another plane in any way. It is literal marketing material at this point for Northrop to keep making up fables about how it literally could kill God, but the Airforce thought dogfighting mattered so it was unfairly dropped.
WAIT. you mean to tell me that the YF22 was further ahead in development and it was STILL inferior to the YF23?

You have an R&D team and production facility with a $10 billion dollar budget to make equipment that would appear mundane to 14th century European militaries. How much can you accomplish with simply utilizing 21st century metallurgy? Can you do anything significant with the form with modern testing and simulations?How much better do you think you can make equipment than contemporaries of the target period?tl;dr how much better could you make late medieval equipment in the modern day assuming performance and not appearing magical or divine were the goals.

>>64477127Aluminum fatigues far too easily for structural applications, while titanium has amazing fatigue life. When people are making a chassis or submarine hull or ballistic plate that needs to take a beating and sparing no expense they pick titanium for a reason. I think medieval armor definitely falls into the "needs to take repeated beatings" category.
Did you make your own range cart? I don't really want to pay six hundred sheckles for one of these faggy things.

>>64475981I have one of those "cloth" wagons from Costco. I just put a thin sheet of scrap metal in the bottom and routinely pull it around with my atv to gather large rocks from the pasture. Handles a few hundred pounds easily. Payed about $75 for mine iirc, been using it for about three years now, and I'm honestly amazed by how well it handles my abuse. If and when the axles snap or something, I will replace it with another one of the same. Absolutely would be more than enough to caddy ammo and gear.

>The second YFQ-42A has flown>Exactly one business day after the YFQ-44A first flew I think it might be over for Anduril's Fury bros. They put up a good fight as a meme competition to push down contact prices but they should stick to their cruise missiles and (frankly very important) SRMs.
Anduril is trash anyway. SV grifters are worse than Boeing and that's saying something.
They're both so far removed from a production decision, that one flying ~2 months before the other isn't really going to be a big deal to the air force decision makers.
>>64478306Everything I’ve heard about the program suggests it isn’t a winner take all kind of thing and they’ll very probably end up buying both so long as both companies show they can deliver the minimum viable product. The whole point of CCA Inc.1 is to spin up a bunch of relatively cheap semi disposable shit that poses just enough of a threat to eat up enemy air defense assets while supporting more expensive and capable platforms as they do their work. It’s why all the major primes got eliminated, they pitched more expensive and capable stuff that was good for more than shooting off a missile or two before probably eating one in return. Inc.2 probably sees more capable less disposable stuff since LockMart and Northrop Grumman have both recently been shown to be working on more capable drones with Vectis and Project Lotus. I would bet Kratos’ Thanatos drone that’s apparently been flying for a year is also intended for that program or something similar.
What would warfare be like if witches and wizards (the kind that fly on brooms, cast spells, make potions, etc.) were real and integrated enough in their respective national and ethnic communities to enlist and fight in wars out of patriotic fervor?

>>64478198If you want to pay $400-$500 you can get one, there are a few pmk-4s on ebay.
I see its only a "2 pin", but its also a different mechanism altogether so can it handle a g23 slide if i threw one on and shot .40 and .357 sig out of it?
>>64474162Good enough for me, ill get one then
>>64474143Idk but if I were you I'd just get a glock 23. They cost like like 350$-400$ these days. If you want to
>>64475872Glock just discontinued EVERYTHING in advance of introducing their switch-incompatible "V series". Glocks are getting scalped online for like a grand and up, it's crazy.
>>64475880True but the LE trade-ins in .40 are still cheapish for the time being.>mfw the glockalypse causes .40 s&w to become popular again because everybody buys up the cheap cop guns.
I like mine, the stipling and grip angle feel really good. Otherwise shoots just like a glock.
why do commies generally hold their support hand/offhand closer to the mag well than muh elite operator youtube shooters? are AKs front heavy or is it a lack of training?
>>64477051>wall of faggotry please neck yourself
>>64475902Short arms caused by Communist malnourishment.
>>64477026>another issue is that russians cock their rifle with the dominant handYou mean keep the support hand on the rifle and move the dominant hand from the grip to the charging handle? That's how I was taught to use it. Basically like Ian is doing here, although I would do it palm up with my stupid right thumb away from the gun because I don't want it to get caught in the ejection port.>>64477033>AKs heat up quickly to the point that if you magdump a few mags it's very uncomfortableThat's true.
>>64475902Used to ram my hand between the mag and the handguard, the handguard created a sort of hook or hand stopper so it would be very firmly in place. Especially nice whilst carrying. Doesn't seem to work on a real AK as that "hook" doesn't exist.>>64477026>>64478430Was taught to pull the charginghandle with the supporting hand going over the rifle. Although you can do it marginally faster by going under the rifle, as your hand is already there after changing a mag. Not that that sort of minmaxxing matters at all. You don't have to grip it, just ram it straight into your palm and smack that thing back. t. non gommie :D
>>64475902It gets excessively hot quickly. It's mechanically advantageous for the pig weight, especially if milled or in 7.62. Your hand is now on the possibly dubiously fitted magazine for immediate reload.
