>>64659161>"I take it we shouldn't voice our educated guesses as to his identity, but can we briefly discuss the matter of 'his vision' having been made reality by a country that ISN'T one of the permanent members of the United Nations Security Council, AND the fact that you seem to be implying that his South-American striker might be coming here to Glenview to be used by aggressors against the cadets?" Barkhorn asks.>"Forget that, how about we discuss the fact that we apparently aren't going to use the Liberion design for the role instead?" Hartmann interjects.>"Having flown the Liberion design, I know for a fact that it will be a cold day in Hell when USAF allows us to use it in aggressor role against cadets before the striker has even entered service, this South-American striker is probably the closest to what the ruskis are working on we here in Glenview can possibly get" Yeager explains.>"Lieutenant Colonel Yeager is right" Marseille states curtly, ending the debate before continuing>"As for how that country has managed to build a striker that challenges the permanent members of the UNSC, they have spent more on the project than they can afford & Uncle Sam is considering bailing them out in exchange for allowing us to evaluate the striker, and I intend to twist Truman's arm & get him to grant the task of evaluating the striker to us.">"Can I ask a question about the Orussian design?" Sanya asks, joining the conversation for the first time.>"I can already guess what you wish to ask, the answer is that all we know is they are working on a design & it hasn't been going well, but there are rumors that they have started serial production anyway.">"Sounds like Orussia is still Orussia" Illu retorts with a frown.>"Where did they get the engine?"

>>64659059>>64659148>>64659152...>>64659166to clarify: Karlsland is (or rather was before the country was split in two-) a nation state with most of the population being linguistically and ethnically German, the founders of the Empire of Karlsland simply chose not to name their empire "Germany" & the other countries went along with the name "Karlsland", as for what we call USA, the Founding Fathers chose to name their Union "Liberion" rather than "America", the African state of Liberia DOES exist, but has a different name, the German-speaking citizens of the two states Karlsland has been divided into are called German & those who were born in the Empire of Karlsland are referred to as "Karlsländer" in order to differentiate them from other German-speaking Europeans such as Austrians.

Still waiting for the announcement "we're setting up production infrastructure for 1 million drones per year, all to be delievered to ukraine"Germany is investing hard in yesterdays tech and ignoring tomorrows.

>>64655793Where are you seeing this? Nothing new on IG and the production status page was last updated on the 8th. He never responded to me on IG when I ordered on the 8th for a MP5 clone. The ATF raided him and its Joever for me isn't it?
>>64658858It's on the page for the arc on the site, they added the next batch info a few days ago. ATF isn't going to take another run at FRTs until Newsom is in office, get them while you can.That aside anyone actually install and run one of the Diablo AK frts? The Beryl one from the same company looks cool but there really aren't any in depth videos and I'd imagine it's exclusive to the Beryl due to the left side selector (it's only a selector not a safety). I think having an frt draco like a PM MD 90 clone with a can would be a lot of fun. They both seem to be pretty new, I'd really like to hear some personal anecdotes.
>>64650056>Which is fine, but does it fit the M11/9 Cobray lowers or just the printed/AR15 trigger group lowers??
>>64657533>>64658497It's a kabuto TURD variant, not the AZ Regulator. The AZ regulator has 2 points of rotation while the TURD only has one. Don't personally have an AZ regulator, so I'm not 100% certain how it actuates, but they are different mechanisms.I've been fiddling with kabutos for a while now. They are definitely more intensive to get working than a super safety, but having a normal selector switch is a great benefit (and now that I know what I'm doing I should be able to get it to work easier). WEBM related is one with normal send cut send internals in a housing I had machined out of aluminum. About to start experimenting with some with internals that utilize an unmodified M16 selector instead of modified KAK 3 position semi selector as soon as I get the new batch of parts from SCS. Trigger is an SSA-E.

This is the new Bundeswehr service pistol, say something (nice) about it.
>>64658768Weird choice desu, p10 is decent these days but what's next, PSA sabers for rifles?>>64658802Because it really doesn't matter. The important area in terms of tolerances for slide frame fit on a polymer gun are the rails.>>64658869>>64658970Learn to read. The requirements for performance were the same for all competitors. Meeting those requirements was a criteria, once they did the winner was whoever did that the cheapest. Reasonable to question if those requirements were strict enough though.
>>64659070> what's next, PSA sabers for rifles?They went with the HK416 for their next service rifle
>>64659070>>64659025>Reasonable to question if those requirements were strict enough though.The guy who criticized it claimed that having to pull the trigger for disassembly was unsafe and obsolete tech. That's the main thing I remember really. (He also hates glocks for the same reason.)
>>64658863It's a military service pistol. It has to work sufficiently well and it has to be cheap. As BW is projected to increase in size significantly and nowadays you have to have a pistol for every soldier (even though they are basically useless in high intensity war) price is by far the most important factor. And as long as it comes from yuroland and the respective country buys german equipment in return, its gucci. And czechbros are outstandingly reliable partners that have a proud tradition of producing high quality military equipment.>>64658902AFAIK they finally dropped that retarded requirement.>>646589768/8>>64658991Thats really good for yuro MIC integration.

A Balato from the island of Nias, Indonesia. Dated to the 19th century. The basket on the side of the sheath is meant to house amulets and is itself made out of rattan, animal tooths and a chinese perfume bottle. >>64657727I'm from the wider Solingen area and this whole region had extensive cottage industries which were focues on the production and further processing of various blades. The many creeks favored the development of many waterpowered forges, hammerworks and grinding workshops.
>>64654546Yeah. However, tempering steel at various temperatures can produce various colors and genuinely useful material effects. It can even be done in gradients to yield various traits to meet the equally varied needs of different parts.
>>64658022Well, true, but there are two things to keep in mind. First, the strong and vibrant colours seen on those blades above don't seem to be what you get from tempering steel, your photo is far more representative there. Second, hardening generally needs to happen before the edges are ground anywhere near sharp least the thermal shock of quenching crack the blade, and doing the tempering as well before final sharpening also seems at least the far more practical approach. So when we see the tempering colours run all the way to the edge as in your picture that also suggests it's a mere wallhanger we're looking at, even if it doesn't shout it quite so loudly as the more loudly coloured blades.
A very nice officers sabre from 1848 with a partially blued blade.

Because minimum reserves are legally mandated after WW2, that's why the US has about 3 million cluster bombs it doesn't use and it only sends artillery shells at the rate it can replace or from allied stocks which are not legally protected.

>>64651377>>64651252Funny enough there have been a series of upgrades to airfields that service Kinzhal capable aircraft and signs of major maininence being done on those aircraft. Why is it so funny? Because someone is spending alot of money and effort to get the Norks il-28s up and working. The interesting thing there is it's only the Il-28s being fixed up, not the more modern and capable H-5 variant which would require PRC support.

>>64658655I fucking love my 43x. I didn't even bother going MOS or having the slide cut, I just run the stock plastic sights and practice point shooting with it every range day. I also shoot well with it at distance with slow fire but I mainly just focus on point shooting doubles and triples at closer range. Light, simple, reliable, just big enough for my hands to grip and keep a magdump inside the 8 ring at 15yd but small enough to be comfortable all day. I don't even hate the stock trigger shoe.

>>64658974Glock clones and aftermarket are a bit special in this way since all specs are very well known, and parts drop-in compatibility is AR tier, to the point where a gun made from lone wolf overrun noname parts and a 3D printed frame is likely to work straight off the printer.>>64658913Since there are durkish imports, what about Tisas, does Paraguay get them?

>>64658136>Are you the saffa who posts here sometimes?No, I'm not a saffa.I'm in Ukraine, there are rolling blackouts because half the electric grid is smoking rubble on any given day and it doesn't get replaced until late afternoon so there's usually about 40% more demand for power than there is power being distributed, so they keep some portion of the country in blackout on a schedule so that everyone has enough power for a few hours here and there.I barely notice it any more because my UPS has the modem running on it and my laptop lasts through the blackouts or I can plug it into the UPS if I really need to.It means I have to plan when to microwave leftovers or bake wings in the oven but other than making me have dinner and snacks randomly at 5pm or 9pm some days, it doesn't really bother me.>>64658172>Whatever they claim, reality is exactly the opposite.But there's a...>carefully framed video...of the sub being just fine.>>64658177Comment too long.
