We are investigating the J-8I and J-8II, the slender dragons.Why did China require an interceptor such as the J-8? What are the differences between the first and second generations? What features does the J-8 have? How significant is the J-8 in the progress of China's military aviation sector?https://youtu.be/-9QpnotFQN0

>>64639904Maybe now, but they bought Thales stuff for more than a decade during 2012-2022. Maybe even earlier. Literally all of the "new" and "modernized" russian tanks had french thermals. And local stuff was so bad that it wasn't even funny. There were some purchases of "belarussian" thermals, but those were like local assembly of foreign stuff AFAIK.
>>64634339Just use yards instead of meters, it's close enough.

>>64640199>>64636185Norks and Iran as well although their sensors are undoubtedly stolen from someone or at best inferior copies. The Turks having access to Western military sensors without embargoes means it really isn't much of a big deal.
>>64639990 >>64637502Ummmm here's a fact you might not know: The US used french thermals (paseo) for the M10.Now does that mean they can't produce thermals ? No, your argument is weak. >t. frog who couldn't give less shit about Russia
Realistically speaking what are the mechs even contributing to this military force that you couldn't get by just swapping out the APCs for IFVs instead?
>>64637162In the early parts of the original Gundam Amuro gets hit a lot, he just gets carried by the special alloy armor being strong enough that Zeon's Zaku machine guns though the bazookas and heat axes do work on it. It's later after he gets fucked up enough by Zeon's newer weapons on Earth and then the proliferation of beam rifles that dodging becomes the hard standard.
>>64639622Beam rifles made the series worse.
>>64613101GODDAMNIT GIVE ME MY MECHS NOW NOW NOW!
>>64637341Two things to remember: most conflicts in BT are small scale affairs closer to Cold War-era skullduggery and bush wars than grand interstellar conflicts and most planets are dealing with the economic and industrial fallout of both multiple civilization-disrupting wars along with being established under exploitative policies designed to limit capacity for autonomy. So it's more like:>Planet A wants tanks>lacks ability to make tanks>buys a fuck ton of tanks>knows buying tanks is strategic weakness>spends years slowly reverse engineering tanks and building the necessary industry to manufacture them>guy they used to buy tanks from hires some mercs to raze industrial districts on Planet A to keep them from becoming a competitor>lance of lights drops right next to the brand new tank factory, blows it up, and is back to their dropship before any non-local forces can respond

>>64639925That actually looks pretty good anon. How do you like it?
>>64640780Yes, absolutely. That's what you will pay for a new one. Do you like that trigger, or at leas the idea of that trigger? Does it come with the factory parts?

tell horror stories about what happens when women get their hands on a firearm, I'll start...
>>64631077Outdoor. Innawoods is the best, indoor ranges are gross, ugly an noisy and she's not going to enjoy it. You want to be somewhere you can take off your ear pro and talk and there isn't anything/anyone distracting her. Also Other people will try to hit on your girl at a range and disguise it as "shooting tips" or whatever bullshit.
>>64634664If I was a simp I would have stayed with her and I would be making excuses for her.
>>64639991Correct, neverserved, maybe it's different in the armed forces because the majority of women who sign up have something to prove and think they're hot shit. In general though, women are far more likely to listen to instruction than men.
>>64640679I will attest to this. Even just in any job Ive worked the men usually at least try to learn and get better/take constructive criticism at whatever they're doing. With women it's always a whole lot of eye rolling and "I don't have to to do that" untill everything is all fucked up, at which point some will finally start to learn but most just keep fucking shit up and not giving a fuck.
Took a woman shooting for a second date, fucked her in every hole. That's the story.
I have a small autism for Ranger Body Armor. It's both aesthetically pleasing and an interesting intermediate technological step from "soft" Kevlar and flak vests to IBAs and the modern plate carriers of today.Post RBAs, be they sets you own or just have pictures of.Starting with some pics of RBAs used by the 101st Airborne Division when it deployed to Kosovo from 2000 to 2001

Whats everyones experience with buying guns, ammo, other sporting goods, hunting gear, reloading equipment.How do they compare to Cabelas, BassPro, and Sportsmans Warehouse. And Gander Mountain? I do love their price match, was able to get them to price match with gunmagwarehouse on gen 3 pmags.
>>64635649I bought a full Inox Beretta 92FS from one for $399, they have decent used gun prices but obviously selection is limited. Ammo prices are good and they're often doing rebates on stuff. They're solid and they have some higher end gear compared to your average sporting goods store, can find Arc'teryx, Patagonia, etc there. They have very good prices on Harris and Atlas bipods as well.
>>64638949>>64638960So this store is offically /k/ approved.
>>64639121It’s decent to good. They are good to very good for hunting stuff and sports.

What the hell is a Scheel's? is it a Northern thing? I don't think we have any in NC unless I am mistaken. Bass Pro fucking sucks, Dick's stopped carrying guns a while ago, we don't even have any big gun retailers it's all local shops or Cabela's/Academy. But Academy has weird policies like they check ID for buying pistol ammo and keep trigger locks on the guns constantly.

Has PTR gone to the shitter? Does anyone make a decent g3 clone, or am I gonna have to go to a custom builder?

Will a carbon steel firing pin break or should it be ok? We had one break and are getting it recreated using a CNC milling machine, they are going to scan the dimensions of the pin perfectly and cut a new one out a block of metal. Just don’t want it to happen again$130 per pin he’s quoted me, and $80 for the scanning job. So $210 all up for one - or he said he will make x10 for $530 and waive the scan fee.Im thinking just get one to try it first and if it’s good I’ll get a few spares made up
>>64637620The specific alloy of steel and heat treat are the most critical part of longevity. You have any idea of the original's steel+HT? There's places that knifemakers and whatnot send parts to for heat treat so maybe you can ride that option if you don't feel confident about DIYing the HT.
>>64639706>O1 is basically what Win and others have used for the past 150 yearsI find that hard to believe, for one because O1 hasn't even really been around for 150 years, and also because it's just better suited for things like drill bits, not impact parts.And you can get 6" long, 3/8" diameter hardened 4140 rod from McMaster for ~$3 and not even have to worry about heat treating or deformation.
>>64640556You tried machining a pre-hard rod? Uniform hardness is also not a good thing for a firing pin.
>>64640573>Uniform hardness is also not a good thing for a firing pin.It doesn't really matter if its toughness is high enough.
>>64639701You'd need an optical comparator to get the scallop right, but it probably doesn't matter much>>64637617>>64637620A non heat treated firing pin will not last long at all. Mil spec calls out for 8640 with a salt bath heat, salt bath quench, and air cooling.You should look at a 17-4PH pin heat treated up to H900 (hold at 900°F for an hour, air cool), and that's going to get you RC ~45. You'll find rod stock on Mcmaster for cheap.You could go up in case hardness (HRC 55+) with nitriding, but it depends on your needs.
The shills say you'll definitely buy one.
>>64637315>UGH i want to talk about trannies, nigs and race wars! stop banning me!we have another board for that.
Looks really ugly. Why doesnt the rail go to the front of the slide anymre?
>>64639880>going to the range even once a month and shooting 150-200 roundsWhy would you do this? You go to a noob range which is just a weapons testing line. They don't let you move or draw from the holster, use sling methods, etc. That's not training. You don't even need to fire any rounds to train, you're telling me you have no formal training to set a slate for what you do at the noob weapons testing line you go to, then you just shit thousands of rounds down the drain? Fucking hobbyists man, what a waste.>>64640357Gen 6 and they stil have a proprietary rail lmao. Glock is a failed experiment.
>>64639880Don't respond to that retard, he doesn't own any guns.
>>64640704lots of people on /k/ think going to an indoor standing slow fire range and dumping 400 rounds on a single target is "training"
