Their practical accuracy, recoil, speed, basically every shooting characteristic is superior to modern polymer framed striker fired pistols. They are intrinsically safe for carry because there is no spring tension behind the firing pin when the hammer is down, the safety is not dependent on the machining tolerances of a tiny sliver of metal like it is with striker guns. The extra weight is completely intangible with a half decent holster and belt. The DA trigger pull is a non-issue because the only time you would use it is for a threat so sudden and close range that accuracy will not be a factor, like if someone has literally ambushed you out of nowhere and is grappling with you on the ground, in any other situation you would cock the hammer immediately when the weapon is drawn.

I've shot Glocks, M&Ps, and other modern polymer striker pistols for over ten years. Now after several months of shooting and carrying a CZ75B, the idea of going back to those types of guns almost seems like a joke. It's incredible that those designs ended up becoming more popular, they literally have no advantage whatsoever. I would say the only real advantage of a Glock specifically is that a full disassembly is easier.

Because you can skip that step by just pulling the trigger. This is why defensive revolvers are hammerless. Nobody's doing that dumb shit in real self defense shootings.
>>
>>64728045
The only hammerless revolvers I've seen are 2" snubnoses that have the hammer removed to fit in a pocket and are intended to be backup pistols or a last resort for a restrictive dress code.

I'll just keep cocking the hammer for an SA first shot. It doesn't slow me down at all, it's barely any worse than flicking the safety off on a 1911.

>The only hammerless revolvers I've seen are 2" snubnoses that have the hammer removed to fit in a pocket and are intended to be backup pistols or a last resort for a restrictive dress code.
Yes these are called defensive revolvers. As opposed to sporting revolvers with huge adjustable sights, ergonomic grips, and checkered hammer spurs to allow leisurely SA target shooting.
>I'll just keep cocking the hammer for an SA first shot. It doesn't slow me down at all, it's barely any worse than flicking the safety off on a 1911
So then why not just carry a 1911? You're carrying a DA/SA gun, which will naturally have a compromised SA trigger compared to an SAO gun. You seem to really care about the lightness of the trigger, have you ever thought about that? Why gimp yourself for DA which you seem to have an aversion to using anyway?

Way back when I was into revolvers, those were the only type I carried. GP100 and 686.

1911s are the wrong caliber, single stack, not that reliable, have too wide a variation in tolerances for aftermarket parts, overpriced, and generally don't have a trigger that much better than a DA/SA gun. Also, having DA capability is a desirable feature to have, it's just not my standard way of shooting.

Ok
>1911s are the wrong caliber
They can be in any caliber
>single stack
They can be double stack
>not that reliable
The OP talked about carrying a CZ75B
>have too wide a variation in tolerances for aftermarket parts
Not really you just buy the parts for your gun. Does the existence of the DWX make the CZ75 less desirable because of all the variation in parts tolerances CZs have now? This is a retarded argument in general.

Asian manlets used to use rifles with 30" barrels at the turn of the 20th century, any of the M16s variants should fit you just fine unless you have really short arms. The A1 stocks are an 1/8" shorter than A2 stocks if you really need to reduce the length of pull. Colt SP1s have a unique front takedown pin that is actually a screw and the front takedown holes on both upper and lower are larger in diameter than a standard AR lower. Also, the bolt carriers are not M16 profile to disallow their use with full auto lowers.

Youu can't remotely disable a shortwave radio receiver, dipshit
>>64720137
This basically allows you to broadcast over short distances, probably in the same range as air traffic control at your local airport or ham radios. The expensive equipment is for people who want to recieve and transmit on a global or continental range. One of these chink hand held radios won't be able to recieve broadcasts from more than like 100km away without an antenna array
>>
>>64721233
Middle ground communities only exist online for people who just listen to broadcasts as a hobby. That's because broadcasting is highly regulated and you can easily triangulated and fined by the government for broadcasting without a license on an unapproved frequency. Needs who have spent 10k on radio equipment will help rat you out to keep you from broadcasting over other frequencies

Eagle claw was also in 1980 not 1970. Nobody in Delta died and they were not "destroyed" It was a logistical and planning fuckup and they went home after it was clear it wasn't going to work. The lessons learned from that are in part why Caracas was such a success. The 160th was created in the fallout of eagle claw as was SOCOM.

Why aren't modified airliners used as strategic bombers?
I mean these days they are expected to just lob lob ALBMs and cruise missiles.
Modified civilian planes are already commonly used in military operations as tankers, AEW&C and maritime patrol aircraft.
>E-7 is literally just 737 with big radar bolted on
>P-8 is literally just 737 with bomb bay and hardpoints
>KC-46 is literally just 767 with a glorified sippy straw bolted on

So why are B-52s still kept on life support?
surely it would be cheaper to operate a (more or less) off-the-shelf airliner instead of wasting billions on modernising such an antediluvian airframe

How is it so hella easy that passenger planes get shot down? Are they just not paying attention? Noise should not be ignorable, when the surface is getting missile lock you can hear the really loud Beep Beep Beep BEEP and solid tone. There is just no possibility to not know understanding of what happens there! Why don't pilots Fucking doge the missile when he saw radar alarms went off signaling a missile lock? Pilots is all ex-military yes? Most of the planes seem to have a lot of maneuverability, a lot more than you would think of a plane that size. He could have preformed a dive with a sharp bank to make the missile miss since they have bad turn radius and make it fail angel of attack.

If he didn't feel enough maneuver time, pilot should at least launched countermeasures or fired off some flares to try to distract the missile or maybe dropped his fuel tanks so that he could climb quickly. If you remember the movie Congo, they were flying over Zaire space without authorization and so Zaire military started firing missiles at slow ass cargo plane. And there was no way they could doge! The plane was just too big and slow, so the chick from Ozarks, she was much younger at the time, she got great idea to open the side jump doors and then shoot flares at the missiles so the missiles would go for the flares and explode on it! Like she had no military training but it was an ingenious idea and it bought them enough time to get everyone on their parachutes and jump out of the plane! Another thing would have been to try to eject all the cargo and use it as chaff to protect against the missile. Or what about at least trying to jam the missile guidance?

Pilot have lot of options but there is never an accounting and used none of them. Pilots and crew didn't even try to parachute away when the plane got hit! There was an Israeli flight few years back and they dodged TWO FUCKING MISSILES at once on a takeoff! Surely other pilots have combat training and can take action!?
>>
>>64722202
and that little bomb bay behind the wing can only hold a few torpedoes. you wanna hold large standoff weapons, you need a bigger bay and the airplane's center of gravity needs to be inside it. so those main landing gear gotta move outboard onto the wings, the wings gotta move up the sides of the fuselage so you can fit your heaviest goodies under the middle of the main wing spar, and now you've got yourself something in the general shape of a B-52, Tu-95, or H-6. and that's why nobody has bothered to reinvent the "big dumb bomb truck" wheel in the last 60 years.
>>
>>64724869
>Because modifying an airliner fuselage to have a bom bay is not trivial from a structural point of view.

Actually, kinda is. We could do that shit on a weekend. Ofc then lawyers and management show up and it takes 15 years and costs 20 billions.

>Plus, because bombs are so much denser than people or cargo

Which means you can use a lot of extra space in the existing fuselage to put in some extra bulkheads to fix the load path you cut in half by putting in bomb bay doors.

>you can make the fuselages of the bombers much slimmer that the fuselages of the airliners that carry the equivalent load

you can simply take a narrowbody airliner and cut the fuselage shorter, such variants usually already exist for short haul flight.

<so dedicated bombers will be more efficient (faster/longer range) than the equivalent airliners.
