Epstein got killed so he couldn't rat out the fact that he worked for Israel generating blackmail on powerful westerners. Maduro doesn't have any information that would harm Israel, so Israel's American servants have no reason to kill him.

Random unprompted rant: Despite the persistent perception that all German tanks were over engineered and overpriced, Panzer IVs were on average slightly cheaper than average Shermans and T-34s.

But yeah, while they were better in a few aspects, they were a lot more difficult to maintain Shermans, but still FAR more reliable than T-34s which (like Panthers) were trash in practical reality despite looking impressive on the spec sheets. The whole "over engineered and overpriced" is absolutely true if you compare tanks in completely different classes, apples and oranges, etc.
Tigers-1 cost 4 or 5 times as much as regular medium tanks, and Tiger-2s were twice the price of Tiger-1s.

Reloading general
My press after sizing/depriming/cleaning primer pockets of over 6,000 pieces of .45 Auto brass.
My die is an undersized die from EGW. They have Lee custom make dies .003" undersized to eliminate Glock bulge on brass. With my RCBS dies I had some rounds not fit in a match chamber.

I would imagine they are still in 3rd, but with a much smaller gap. The Russian Navy has so much tonnage tied up in soviet era rust buckets that it's simply impossible to tell. So much of their tonnage is wrapped up in wrapped up in retarded shit that also fluffs the numbers as well. They seriously have like 100 different tug boats all varying from a couple hundred to a couple thousand tons. Their oiler fleet is made up of gigantic 1970s rust buckets. They have a stupidly large amphibious fleet for a country that doesn't even utilize them for amphibious landings or a strong maritime tradition. Overall their sub fleet won't change much, but like 90% of their surface fleet tonnage is all pre-Russian federation where the RF hasn't actually built anything larger than a frigate. It really is annoying looking through the list and seeing how much of their 2 mil figure is just propped up by nonsensical shit

The ziggers have come up with another brilliant plan to counter drones, walking tents! Guessing mostly for night ops to reduce thermal signature? Because these are definitely not good for day time at least. Though it'd be hilarious to see them try assaulting with these fucking things on. What will the ziggers dream up next to deal with thermal cams?

There's a letter from Teddy Roosevelt that says he likes peep sights, but I cannot find a single example of a rifle he owned and used that has peep sights. I've seen an 1894 Winchester that the NRA has or had that has factory sights and a can he used for shooting varmints in his yard on long island so the neighbors couldn't hear (even more based because it was an 1894 and not an 1892 like a normal person, I guess Teddy wanted to feed those gophers .30-30). Cody in Wyoming has or had his 1895 winchester from Africa and that has factory open sights. Pic related is his bubba'd up 1903 with what looks like Winchester sights.
There's an 1895 Winchester with a peep that was in a rock island and NRA article, but when you look into it it was a gift he gave to some other officer from the rough riders and not a gun he shot himself. there's an 1886 that was presented to him from winchester for the Africa trip but he never brought it with him so idk if he used it. There's a hawkens rifle that belonged to Kit Carson so I'd assume Kit Carson put on the sights and Teddy didn't add sights to some other famous guy's gun (though that would be based)

Is that a fucking pistol real sight in the red dot cut out? Is PSA inventing a shotgun that can't be used as a shotgun because it has pistol sights for some reason?
the receiver is objectively the worst place to mount a red dot on a shotgun. the best option would be if you could get it low profile on the barrel or as a qd on a side rail like an AK, though the barrel, especially if you can get the bottom of the red dot below the receiver would be great because then you could have a red dot mounted for HD or turkey or if you're in one of the like 3 states that still require slug guns for durr and then you can take off the barrel, the red dot remains zeroed and you can put on a different barrel for birds or clays
I really don't understand this psa 570 thing. it looks like they just designed a gun to compete with turkshit and the mav 88 to be a ghetto blaster for blowing up trash on blm land

We have just seen the US carry out Operation Absolute Resolve, a flawless raid in Venezuela but there's so much more than what meets the eye.
The fact that the Nightstalkers could just infil and exfil on gunships guns blazing is insane in the era of gay drones and MANPADS.
They didn't even have to worry about the overall IADS. IR dazzlers or just shooting back was very effective against any fuckers that tried to get a shot off. More than half of the air assets in theater being SIGINT and EW just shows the importance of spectral dominance in addition to SEAD and as SEAD itself. It's obvious Growlers used their brand spanking new mid-band Growler pods to jam fire control radars, F-35s used their Barracuda suites, but what the EC-130H's were doing could be anyone's guess. But the power went out and that says something.

Some kind of school for those kids actually exists there, but the trick is students have to fulfill some "practice quota"(building drones) or be expelled/have to pay.

10 mili-does what 9 mili-can't
>>
>>64748201
But that's not what happened.
Hollow point design was garbage, which essentially biased handgun effectiveness towards high mass bullets.
When hollow point design improved, 9mm was the major beneficiary because designers could tailor bullets to have good weight retention, 12-16 inches of penetration in gel, barrier blind capabilities, etc. What did .40 and .45 get? Good weight retention, 12-16 inches of penetration in gel, barrier blind capabilities, etc. So larger calibers are designed to the same standard as 9mm, but the added inertia and muzzle energy allows the designers to enhance bullet expansion. Since they get no benefit in penetrating more, they trade it for final bullet frontal area.
It's up to you if you want to get that added wound volume at the cost of higher recoil. It's just that statistically you'll shoot better with a 9mm and an instance of a gunshot's effect on target being decided by handgun caliber choice is almost null.
And when we get to matters of budgeting 9mm is cheaper for agencies to purchase.
>>64748598
But they have the funding to do scientifically valid gel tests. It doesn't matter if a local PD gets more kills per year on average than the entire FBI, they have no control over variables.
>>
>>64748203
They do? The caveat is they have an approval process for personally owned weapons and some are not allowed. Nothing is stopping them from using .45 or 9mm.

>>64749949
>statistically you'll shoot better with a 9mm and an instance of a gunshot's effect on target being decided by handgun caliber choice is almost null.
this is the real reason why 9mm is favored. In a high stress situation, most pistol rounds will do pistol round amounts of damage so it's better to hit more times due to more manageable recoil for accurate follow up shots and more rounds in the mag for more follow up shots.

you don’t need follow-up shots with 10mm
