>>64633674Can the drone choppers be used as a mini AWACS? Or can they fire based off targetting info from other assets?>>64633681No I was serious.

>>64633106>The Legend class was built to the Navy's level 1 survivability standardCan I see a source on this? I'm not trying to be an ass, this is just literally the first I am hearing of this.>The LCS was designed for level 1 survivability, later ostensibly retrofitted for a "level 1+" levelThis is partially true and partially misguided. It actually was originally built with "1+" and then they went back and reinforced it even above that when everyone started bitching because they don't understand naval build strategy.>The OHP class was built to a level 2 standardOHP predates the SSSL that OPNAV came out with in '89(? Someone check me)>>64633119Coni was built after they dropped the SSSL. Given it is a frigate, it almost certainly was built to Level 2.>>64633123Complete fabrication or parrotting misinformation. Take your pick.>whatever standard Europeans build their frigates to (which is probably better than the LCS)Ahahahahahahaha>agreement to build...Freedom in equal numbers to IndependenceThis is false on its face. Go look at how many Indis vs how many Freedoms were actually built.

You're now aware that the Puma IFV has a 5.56 coax.

Who were some opponents of early tank development? I'm trying to do research on the subject, and of course there's the story of Churchill needing to steal money to fund the landship committee and stuff, but who exactly opposed it and why? Searching terms like "anti tank" or "tank opponents" just turns up anti-tank warfare.

>>64634312>>Doesn't specify which books.If I knew the books I'd name them. But alas, I'm not a tank autist so I don't know what those are.I *do* recognize the problem though: anon is looking for information which the internet doesn't have. The internet is great for stuff that's old enough to be out of copyright, or stuff that's new and trendy. It fucking sucks for anything not in either of those two categories. The information anon wants will be tied up in books. You can use google to identify them--that's something Google is actually good for.
>duuude gun laws are pointless because everyone with 4k worth of tools and 2 weeks of free-time can build his very own SMG (that has an effective range of 10 yards)ok but where are you going to get the ammo? sure, smuggling 10 rounds across the border is easier than smuggling a weapon but for a proper "protect the rights of the people"-situation you need hundreds if not thousands of rounds per gunseems like it would make more sense to build DIY long range rifles instead of SMGs / Pistols so you can get the most out of each roundyes, you can make your own ammo with blanks and slugs but that stuff can be banned too and then its back to square 1

>>64632007Ultimately this is a field of research more than engineering and crafting. Research of the means to reach the end goals. And one of the forever-problems is ammunition. It's always been a concern and it will always be a concern, to the point that both the firearms and the ammunition solutions are a gradient. Gradient of skill and tools required, motivation required and the available resources. And you just pick which works for you.You're the whiny russian guy. I've seen you before and you always bitch about russian blanks sucking ass. I think I've told you this before, but you need to look into alternative mechanisms because clearly synthetizing materials for your needs is out of the scope of your capabilities. I'm not calling you an asshole, I'm saying that it's not something you can do. Clearly you understand methods of synthetizing BP, so do that. For primers use electrical ignition.And for the love of god, be the inside man. I have no idea what you have available off the shelf or what is legal in your location. If you understand the local limitations then be the person who defines requirements and solutions which can be applied by locals.
>>64630041It's entirely possible to build rifles that use paper cartridges and are lethal out to a mile. If they did it in the 19th century then surely we can do it today.
>>64634029>you will never succeed in making an anti-state/separatist militia keen on surpassing the state and letting the people have guns freely in any civilized part of the worldWell no, of course not. The people who even care about guns that much are in the extreme minority. The world as it stands also makes it a bad choice for the most part, anywhere awful enough to force you to make guns to change things would be bad enough to get you asylum in a country much better than the one you left could ever be if you simply escaped. I'm kind of suprised Myanmar is shaking out the way it is with armed resistance to a military junta, it may be a matter of scale.

Are there multi curve hybrid composition plates yet that defeat M80A1, M855A1, HOT M193 etc, while being LESS than 4.6lbs per 10x12", and that cost less than $400 per plate, and are no more than 1" thick?

>>64634131Also, as a side note, the 10x12 swimmer versions of the 28570, VelSys TSA, and Tyr XHA6WTFBBQ are about 0.2lb lighter than SAPI M. They don't sell in 10x12 shooters since they're SOCOM-oriented plates. The Tyr plate is really badass since it'll make Level IV if backed by IIIA and, by default, meets the 6x 7.62x51mm M80 Level III req on top of 2x BZ API or 1x B-32, but it's impossible to get without credentials. LTC 28570 and the VelSys show up second hand for 2.5-3.5k a set. The Tyr plate's OEM is either Tencate or NP Aerospace.

>>64618290Just found my 11/9, gonna break gun rule #2 never sell. Unless there is an FRT for the Mac 11? Mine's an Intertec.
>>64633076I will have to look, but I'm gonna break gun rule #2 and sell mine. I just don't like my Tec-22 and it takes Ruger mags.
>>64634256>>>64618752 (You) #>Yup, people that dont actually own one dont understand these are heavy as fuck and made of thick fucking steel.>Also Lage just came out with a 5.56 belt fed upper for these and a .22 LR upper that uses Ruger 10/22 mags.>For a transferable machine gun you cant beat the value.Still, I am motivated to sell, mine's semi and I have some (rare?) accessories all from Intertec. Without FRT, the fun just isn't there. Screwing on the bbl extention is a violation. And the carbine upper is only cool with the wire stock, if then. Thinking to fund a Lima6 with frt.
>>64634303Well yeah, if its a semi auto then like whats the point? lol the whole point of the Mac platform is to be a full auto assault style weapon. It was originally made to replace the M1911 as a more capable side arm and did see some use as suppressed weapon for special forces in Vietnam. A lot of people dont know that, but it was actually in Govt service for a short duration and they did have a contract with the Govt. I would only own a semi auto one if it were one of the rare open bolt semis that pop up from time to time, those actually appreciate and are worth a few grand.

Did the Ruger bx1 kill tube magazines for 22s?Also should Ruger make the 96 again or should people just get a Volquartsen?
>>64634285Yeah
>>64634285>Did the Ruger bx1 kill tube magazines for 22s?It's a charm. But ever tube gun I own has its own charm. For current produbtion, the Marlin M60 is still tube? (But Google shows it stopped production in 2020.)

Navy Secretary John Phelan just recently revealed the most recent proposal to replace the Constellation class frigates.

>>64634188If both china and europe put 2-3x as many weapons on the same size ship, you maybe have a freedom deficit.
>>64634308You're guesstimating on not much there. A retractable hanger is fine for EEZ patrolling. Look at the parent design, it's the same setup, but with mods for a higher threat environment.>>64634343Accommodation standards for USN are miserable. You're getting commercial grade space and services on most warships now.
>>64634350You're counting capability by cells or guns, you have to go back. You're not having equal tonnage because of lead weights. There's a reason for it.
>>64634361>A retractable hanger is fine for EEZ patrollingfor low-tempo EEZ patrolling where you sortie like once a day, surebut if you expand the context to low-threat low-activity-rate environments, lots of things are permissible. you could even arrange to have constant land-based patrols and eschew helicopters entirely (they're expensive) and settle for a drone launch system and davits to send out your VBSS teams on fast boats, if the threat you're addressing is low enough. so what's the context? are we still talking about turdie EEZ patrol or FFGX fits?
