>>64683023>cost per unitIt's already been posted in the thread, $155,000 or so.You seem to be hyperfixated on the total program cost, which includes all that frontloaded administrative and bureaucratic overhead I mentioned. The longer the program runs, the closer the number you're obsessed with (annual program budget/annual units acquired or ordered) will approach the line item number.

i wanna turn this cheap PA15 my coworker sold me into a commando style build from black ops 1 like picrel. has anyone here done this before?
>>64680324>full autoWhar? How? There's no way someone would have the knowledge on how to make an illegal MG then be retarded enough to go to a public range
>>64680331That actually happened a few times that I know of, though most of the time it was handwaved as an "accidental malfunction" like an SKS slam firing and the person was politely told to put that weapon away for "safety reasons". This is speaking with a guy who worked at a range run by the county, that the SO also frequently used for training, in an urban area that's very anti-gun.Another winner actually forgot his gun at the range with a homemade suppressor attached. They made an effort to get it back to him (one of them actually knew who he was) so that it wouldn't become a bigger problem but ultimately had to hand it over to the SO. SO ran a registration check on the pistol it was bolted to which he did indeed legally purchase and register so he got fucked. SO didn't want to get involved, but once they have an illegally modified abandoned firearm being handed to them they have to investigate.Another sad case was a wealthy homeowner who had a really nice preban Colt SP1 that he never AW registered. There was a break in at his house while he was away which tripped his alarm. Police showed up and did a sweep, finding several unsecured guns in his closet which they had to take into custody because they couldn't leave them there in case of a subsequent break in. Of course a cursory search showed that the Colt (which can't be made CA legal) was never registered when the AW law was passed so now the police had to do what the police do. When the homeowner came to the station to collect his guns he was arrested.Just dumb improbable shit that happens. That's why I tell people to consider what risks they face if they want to fuck around and decide for themselves if it's worth it. For some they feel it is, and I support their decision, but thinking there's no risk is foolhardy.
>>64680137>As far as I know once a pistol becomes a rifle it is illegal to go backThat's wrong you fucking retard.
>>64680350I could very well be wrong. Can you cite me a source on the topic that clears it up for me?
Anyone have an answer to the above post(s)?
Any hunters on /k/?I've got some serious hunting related questions as of recently.>cop in a european city>hardly have to deal with LIVE wild animals because they're usually just roadkill as part of traffic accident protocolling>until 3 weeks ago when some asshat ran over and crushed a deer's hind legs, then left it crippled and suffering on the road>traffic already backing up because of it>get dispatched to kill/move the wounded animal>sure thing, chief>it was a disaster, still feel bad weeks laterWe're not trained in delivering finishing shots to wounded animals and it's usually not necessary because there are enough hunters in the surrounding counties at any time - until there aren't. Buddy wanted to use her service pistol, I argued for the AR because my logic was "bigger caliber = instant kill, no suffering".Neither of us are hunters and therefore opted for a headshot, which was a bad idea because apparently a deer's brain is really small and the brain stem even moreso.We know hunters usually just aim for the heart, but we looked at the deer and it was just smooth fur everwhere with no real indication where the heart was. It was an adult animal so the heart must've been bigger but unlike with a human torso, it was just a mass of fur. No fucking idea where to safely aim for the heart here?First shot to where the brain SUPPOSEDLY was (Google...) left if violently threshing for 10 seconds before settling down, then it started those rasping breaths and turned it's bleeding head looking at us which was fucked up and honestly pretty sad. We opted to try once more, she aimed for where the brain was and again, spazzing around and more breathing.

>>64680540>>64680593No dude the goal was not to nuke each other cities to kill zombies. The goal was to wipe out russia, north korea and chinas nuclear arsenal since they might have the same idea. The zombie outbreak was world wide and the nations nuclear arsenal was in a serious risk of being permanently lost due to the crews being a bunch of zombies. It was a use it or lose it situation and the american vice president was semi correct, not all nuclear silos, submarines or any other launch platform complied since they either refused, complied or could not comply with the order because they got zombified, likewise zombie outbreak fucked china and north korea over so hard that north korea fired 0 missiles while china only managed to fire 4. The USS Curtis Wilbur in OP webm did not participate in the shooting down the chinese MRBM since the whole crew was dead.The zombie outbreak had only been in two days at that point. First day, first night in which air force one is flying with the president and other members already bitten and then second day the nukes got launched.>>64682395Last episodehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Highschool_of_the_Dead_episodes

Still reeling from the sheer retardation of the Battleship proposal, plus that it'll be replacing the DDG(X) project.But the FF(X) looks good. It won't have VLS in it's first flight, but it'll have an established supply chain and available logistics for repair and maintenance. As long as they don't try to make more capable than it needs to be, i think it'll be a good boat.
>>64682644Better to have both. Don't put your eggs in one basket.
>>64682644You don't need 100% uptime from an ASW helo. If they drop sonobuoys, those sensors stay active for hours at a time, if they get a contact you can then send the helicopter back out, at which point it can use it's dipping sonar to get a firing solution and then drop it's torpedo(s). All things which can be done hundreds of miles away from the ship.You're no different to the "everything is obsolete now because drones" smoothbrained retards that have sprung up over the past few years.
>>64674827From the looks of it it's more in line with an old WW2 sort of DD. A small, fast escort, patrol or raiding ship. In the context of a fleet containing a "battleship", these would fight other small boats trying to rush down the battleship (with the main gun on the front and any secondaries, maybe also the missiles at long range), and also have some utility against larger targets (Anti ship missile launchers on the stern).

>>64682678Thats fine, but don't need to be putting 100+ million dollars in choppers on every single ship
No politics, no industrial feasibility or cancellation talk allowed.What is the logical military use case for a huge expensive "battleship" with 3x more displacement than a Ticonderoga and only a few more VLS cells? What advantage could it hold over Flight III Burkes, DDG(X), VPM SSNs, or an SSGN Columbia variant?>1. The core use case would be a large fast cruiser able to escort carriers at prolonged high speeds around the Pacific, in situations where conventional escorts and their oilers couldn't keep up, or would slow the carrier down with UNREP making for risky ASBM attack windows.This is reliant on it being nuclear powered, which isn't confirmed and makes it more expensive and industrially intensive. Perhaps the Navy has done the math and found that cruising around at an unbroken 35 knots is useful to increase the PLA's sea search volume or complicate ASBM kill chains. But it doesn't have that many VLS cells so it must rely on novel weapons as an escort to avoid magazine depletion. >continued
>>64682135It also probably would give everyone on it brain cancer.
>>64682141We can just ask the guy standing in front of the land-based one if he's feeling okay.
>>64681651it hardly has any more vls than a burke but has guns and nukes for land attack.it's a battleship and can't replace any ticos. ticos are getting replaced by burkes.
>>64672575>Diesel powered If it was nuclear they could put 2 x 1 Megawatt Lasers, which would seriously up this ship's capability to take out various types of drones and missiles.
>>64682352The guns are not for land attack, and the nuclear cruise missiles are a meme. Congress keeps funding it even though the Navy has said they don't want it or need it, if they're forced to buy the things they might as well load them up. Ticos are only being replaced by Burkes because the Navy can't seem to build anything more suitable.
Pistol related but last question thread died a while ago. Are all 1911 .45 barrels interchangeable with all other 1911 models? I've got a Kimber and want a threaded barrel for it and I'm wondering if I should just get a Kimber barrel for it.

It seems to me that it is literally not worth into guns as a pastime if you do not own your own land, or at least have access to a good public outdoor range.
>>64676491Okay, that first bit is pretty valid, but indoor ranges checking your ammo is retarded. What're they going to do? Have some designated boomer with a jeweler's glass looking at every JHP to ensure you haven't replaced the wadding with a tungsten sabot from Temu? Closest I've seen are most indoor ranges around me ban reloads, so I just bring a green box of 9mm and a white box of .45 and keep the reloads in the mags. ROs never bother doing shit because they just see the boxes and can't be bothered to look at the mags.
>>64681428>Austin's range situation is IMO pretty bad, as the good outdoor options have seemingly feel further out with worsening trafficNo kidding. Austin annexes like crazy then zones everything for apartments without planning anything or taking easements for turning lanes so you have a zillion people on country ass roads. They built an HEB 3 miles from me and it takes me the better part of an hour to get there, it's insane. Every time I go to Eagle Peak it seems like it takes 10 more minutes than last time and it'll only get worse as the hill country gets flattened and turned into suburbia.

>>64682610>7.62x51 Swiss P AP is from 1998 and M993 originates in the 1970s. They aren't really modern designs a la AP11LR, 7N37, 7N51, DM151, M1158, or the .300 / .338 heavy hitters.Aside from 7N37 and XM1184 the real "heavy hitter AP" is rare as hell, even in military service. And I remember that people on X.com were saying that the Russians don't even issue tungsten-core small arms any longer, that everything people are finding is all steel-core these days.Rusanon, is that true?
>>64681356This is one of those things, I can't really tell if it's cool or cringe.
>>64682852>Aside from 7N37 and XM1184 the real "heavy hitter AP" is rare as hell, even in military service.Don't forget XM1154, the .338 Lapua ADVAP, and M1162, the .338 Norma version of AP529. Swedes have a better M948, Germans run DM151 and .300Win DM131. The issue is less that it's rare, more that it is held in reserve for when it's actually needed. As a hypothetical, I'd be willing to bet that if Buffalo dipshit rolled a pair of XSAPIs or Adept Collosi instead of RMA 1093s, that'd make the news and there would be a kneejerk adoption of exotic AP across numerous PDs.Active shooters are bad. Heavily armored active shooters are worse. >Russians don't even issue tungsten-core small arms any longer, that everything people are finding is all steel-core these days.I'll let Rusanon answer, but they did recently upgrade their 7.62x54R "super AP" to 7N51, which is a longer-core beefed up 7N37. I think it's primarily steel core but primo units get the very good stuff. Obviously it all takes back stage versus artillery, drones, etc.
>>64682883>everything people are finding is all steel-core these days.I haven't been active service for a long time, so I'm not up to date on current state of supply in the services. But if I were to hazard an educated guess, the operating word here is>findingServices, units and even teams within one unit can vary wildly in the gear and supply they're rolling, depending on the task. Basic bitch infantry is holding the trenches with 74s or early 12s, clad in Ratnik or even obsolete steel-plate bullshit like Kora-Kulon, and shooting basic bitch PS or PP steel-cores. VDV trench raiders, the ones that new shorty AK-12K are made for, or the marine assaulters are most likely stomping around in Strelok gear with new exxtra thicc Granits and rocking hard-steel BP, or tungsten BS\PPBS ammo. And even they probably don't take it to the range, saving it for the real action. Similarly, nobody's gonna stick SNB precision penetrators into a PKM belt, those are probably only issued to SSO sniper teams, along with the new hotness in .338. tl;dr the dudes slinging carbide ammo don't leave it lying around and rarely leave anyone alive to find their ammo and report back about it. >>64682883>that'd make the news and there would be a kneejerk adoption of exotic AP across numerous PDs.Then and ONLY then, and not really widely. Liability is a huge concern for "democratic" police forces, and thus possibility of overpen is to be avoided at any cost. It was US LE that drove most of the development of pistol-caliber hollow-points and other high-energy-transfer projectiles, self-defence crowd caught up later.That being said, yes, you should thank God that would-be mass-shooters are universally retarded.
