>I can't think of a single time a rifle like a battle rifle being heavy ever actually mattered.
The majority of small arms kills in the Ukie war were designated marksmen and snipers shooting at the enemy (it's partially why the Russians were complaining to their leaders that Ukrainians had more NVGs and thermals). The concept of choosing a more powerful cartridge than 5.56 was sound; the execution that led to adopting a 6 MOA rifle was the problem.
>>
>>64338931
Yep. The U.S. army should have adopted a more accurate, longer range, and compact 6.5 Grendel or 6mm, or even a better 7.62 NATO like 6.5 creedmoor which the top guys already use anyway. Blending DMRs and carbines together seamlessly. Everyone has come to the same conclusion

Instead they wanted a hypermagnum carbine for 30-06ing chinese men at 10 meters away. Basically a shotgun. There's just no way to get a rifle that short without murdering the barrel and accuracy unless you bullpup it which the U.S. has a hateboner for. Well they are basically stuck with it now because Sig refuses to acknowledge the barrel can't actually survive even a fraction as long as they declared it could and will sue you if you disagree

I don't really want to speak ill of the dead, but Paul Harrell was a dental assistant who killed a drunk black guy with an AR-15, and never made a dime training people how to shoot pistols. Ben Stoeger literally travels to Fort Bragg twice a year to train Delta. Ben Stoeger won IPSC world championships. Paul Harrell won Oregon State National Guard championships.

If you think they're remotely comparable, you're a retard. This is like the And 1 Basketball street ball guy versus Steph Curry.

While indirect use of machineguns was a thing in both world wars, that's AFAIK not actually what soviet/russian "machine gun and artillery" units were about.

Simply put, it's their designation for fortress troops. Units meant to occupy fixed strongpoints and defense lines. This generally meant low-quality troops, less frontline infantry than "proper" rifle divisions, less logistical tail (because them sitting in static positions meant higher-level supply lines would always be close) and a proportionally higher amount of machineguns and lighter artillery pieces. The naming was I think mostly a propaganda thing of sorts - "machine gun and artillery" is gonna sound more impressive to the low-quality losers you put into those units than outright calling them out as troops only useful for static defense.

Some of these units distinguished themselves in WWII and the Soviets and later Russians just kept them around as essentially second/third-rate defensive garrison units while moderninsing them to some degree.

Montreal is pretty anti-gun, and even then, not to the point you are making it. There's an estimated 13% difference in armed households between Quebec and Alberta, and (again, estimated) about 25% more guns in Quebec than in Alberta. Ontario is where gun ownership is at its lowest (15% household ownership) (couldn't quickly find estimates and not PAL ownership which would be skewed anyways, so, yeah, stats goes back to the 90s. Still after the Polytechnique...)

What the hell are you talking about? The helmets are typical barbutes with some Ottoman and Gallowglass influences. There's nothing at all wrong with them. If it were found next to the Lough Henney helmet, or with a set of 15th century Italian armor, nobody would be surprised.
The swords are weird. Improper from a historical context and oddly ugly. They all seem to have something subtly wrong in their designs and proportions.

The AF turned back from the proposal to axe the E-7 completely and use 'space based' sensors. I wonder who has a big space based business and whispered that idea into Trump's ear?
>This is the same guy that said F-35s were useless and doesn't understand drones
2 E-7 units are currently in retrofitting in the UK to USAF spec and then full production will start in Kansas after their 2027 delivery. IMO the AF should retire the E-3s right now to free up funding for the E-7s as the 70s radomes are nearly obsolete, the E-2s can fill in the gap as the AF had proposed.

Anyway, Australia thread? Boeing Australia and Australia branch defense contractors in general make things come to fruition without a load of bureaucratic bs somehow as of late. I think that's really impressive.

Pretty much, and that would probably only be that quick if you had fully clear orbital planes to work with, if you need to deal with a ton of debris or other stats, it'll take longer, they also use hall-effect thrusters for orbtial maneuvers which are incredibly efficient but super lower thrust, so any drastic orbital movement requires a very long burn time.

Might as well ask here. Does anyone have a video from early in the 2022 invasion made by Russians or separatists who were Donbas veterans and while driving around in a car they came across a column of Russian vehicles which decided to just pull over and hang by the side of the road. The experienced guys in the car roll down the windows and start screaming that they're a bunch of fucking retards and need to get out of the open before they get fucked by Grads.
It's funny and a good example of how the Big Army wasn't ready like Donbas veterans and Wagner was.

NTA but I strongly agree.
It's too much to ask for a pilot to also be an EWar tech and Drone Commander as well.
This is probably usually done by the AWACS but if there isn't one up for whatever reason, the F-35 with a dedicated WSO who is essentially an EW/drones specialist, with flight training as an afterthought.

Are suppressors going to go down in price once the initial Jan 1st rush dies down? I am so sick of metal tube manufacturers charging ludicrous amounts of money for metal tubes, knowing they can get away with it because of government regulations. And I don't think anyone can rightfully and in good faith defend the suppressor price gouging that has been going on over the years.

Seriously, why WOULDN'T PSA or Ruger or any of the other sweatshop-tier manufacturers going to be cranking these things out by the truckload for $150 a pop? Surely the profit margins on metal tube are going to be way higher than any firearm, right?

When PSA makes a $70 suppressor and $50 booster, knowing people will buy them, like Glock gen3 clones, will you cry or just kill yourself in protest? A man shouldn't not know how a knurler works to think it makes a metal tube worth a thousand dollar.

>>64338546
Certainly it takes a certain amount of R&D to get a Nielsen Device/booster right, in that respect it's like magazines which also have more engineering going into them then people commonly recognize. But by the same token, magazines being challenging to get right didn't stop magpul from figuring out very good cheap ones.

Ultimately, a booster is some metal/piston/spring. The specific geometry takes some effort, but the manufacturing cost is low. So it comes down to how many you're making to spread those fixed costs across. If PSA or whomever else figure one out optimized for ease of manufacture (might well partner with others and make it totally standard across a huge percent of the industry, might as well) and sells millions it'll be cheap.

Yeah the AK FRT SS market is super underdeveloped, and IMO it is actually one of the most promising. My two position AK FRT has been working flawlessly for nearing 1200 rounds total, maybe 1300 actually I need to double check. The design of the cam is such that the force to actuate the reset is transferred through a very durable tough piece, as opposed to the lever designs for the AR platform. The trip bar which is arguably the weakest part is only subject to moderate forces.
I've got the three position function checking by hand decently well right now, so long as you don't crank down on the trigger to hard. Going to work on it more a bit here.

I don't know if AK receiver and carrier specs are tight enough in terms of tolerances, but matching the cam and trip bar to a particular spec fire control group, auto disconnector, and auto safety, for a near drop in three position AK FRT SS that keeps the original OG aesthetic... we're not far from that.
