so let me get this straight: it has the profile of a ww1 tank, is slow as an interwar tank, has the armor of a ww2 tank, has the gun of a modern tank BUT with worse range, penetration, and precision, doesn't have CMs, doesn't have ERA, doesn't have an autoloader, doesn't have GPS, doesn't have telemeters or aiming softwares of any kind, it barely has an electric motor to turn the turret, it barely has a radio, and you're telling me THIS is a futuristic design?

Bolties are known for being more accurate but it doesn't mean there are no 1 MOA ARs. So if hunting with semi autos is legal in your place, wouldn't it be a good deal to sacrifice some accuracy for easier follow up shots? And at war a bolt action sniper rifle seems good unless you need something for short distance self defence which means it's probably better to have an additional gun.
>>64664029Dude Remington made ONE POINT FOUR MILLION Model 742 Woodsmasters and I bet 80% were chambered in 06. Trad gunsmiths, Military don't like like 'em because the receivers were milled out one block of forged steel. The bolt-carrier slides were machined into the receiver = almost impossible to repair once fucked. Also action not nearly as water/grit-proof as a Garand. Against that they are beautiful hunting rifles. Rem worked long and hard to reduce felt recoil. I loved mine but I passed it on to a nephew.
>>64658105Nobody had brought up the issue that damage to the nose of any kind of projectile (soft, hollow, spirepoint) can entirely be avoided by cycling a bolt-gun deliberately. Semiautos have a tendency to have feed ramps with steps cut in them and at any rate send 'em into the chamber much faster. Yes they have plastic tip bullets that are all-but-immune to damage from that, now. But for fine accuracy it will always favor bolt-guns. When you are sending 'em waaaaay out there you want all your slugs to be perfectly undamaged.
>>64658105I know SWAT guys who really wanted to be able to have an excuse to use their .308 ARs but they couldn't show that they were equally as accurate as their issued bolt actions, which were clapped out Remington 700s. They did some comparative shooting and the bolts were more accurate. It would have brought too much liability to let the sniper use an AR. But yes they do shoot follow up shots quicker. You need to ask yourself, do I need to push the limits of accuracy or do I need volume of fire? In most preppers case a semi auto would be more practical. You can still hunt at effective range and put down quicker volume of fire if needed. But if you're trying to shoot a "deer" between the eyes a bolty serves you better. They're also lighter to carry.
>>64661245Depends on what you plan to do with the rifle. If you're planning on shooting for the best possible groups or doing competitions, a bull barrel is definitely helpful. It will be less prone to flyers when the barrel starts to heat up. If you're only ever going to shoot in totally controlled scenarios (as in you can let your barrel cool down between shots as needed) or if your main use is hunting, then there's really no need for a bull barrel. As a simple example, if I'm trying to shoot my best possible groups, my 308 M1A can start to open up after just 3 shots with its pencil profile barrel if I don't let it cool down between shots. My 6.5C B14HMR I can go 7-10 rounds before I notice any real impact on groupings.

Could the MiG-25 realistically have shot down a SR-71?
>>64662736The thing with an SR-71 interception is that you have to launch your interceptor to climb to altitude and begin vectoring before the recce plane violates your airspace, other than that it's very doable if you have the radar coverage. Soviets had a complex centralized system for interception that was on paper up to it.And for everyone else in the thread, there is a lot more to interception than tail-chase performance, the recon plane has to actually fly in to the airspace for there to be something to intercept, and an SR-71 has such a low G limit that it can't do fast evasion.
>>64662714Actually, coming to think of it...Imagine that there was a time during the Cold War, when one nuclear-armed superpower just went and purposefully, intrusively violated the airspace of the other one on the regular. In hindsight, it seems fucking insane.Imagine Soviet aircraft buzzing US airspace in the 1950's and 60's. You'd see no end to the outrage and scandal of the press.
>>64664373>speed of sound is based on the temperature, not on altitude or pressureBullshit.
>>64665241We went apeshit over a balloon.
>>64665310No it's true, the speed of sound at sea level with 20C air temp and the speed of sound at the altitude of mount everest, also with 20C air temp, and your speed is almost identical.The reason the anon said there are minor differences is because the air in the atmosphere isn't an ideal gas and humidity can slightly impact things.

A few days ago, at a Christmas event, General Masiello, commander of the Italian Army, has announced that starting next year they will begin full adoption of the Beretta NARP assault rifle and of a new multi terrain camo that will replace both the standard Vegetata and the Vegecam used by special forces. Camos and rifle are already issued to a few elite units, and have been in testing since at least 2020This means that Italy follows the international trend of adopting an AR15 style rifle and a Multicam-like camo. Thoughts?
>>64664999Best thing I can say about the new camo is that at least is not a straight up multicam clone. Vegetata is still a much better looking camo though, and it's sad to see it go...
>>64665045seriously what is with the gign being so awkwardly behind the meta? they adopt brens in 7.62x39 right as 300blk takes off and now 6.5 grendel after everyone has thouroughly stopped caring about it.inb4 their next sidearm is in .30SC
>>64664999The old uniform was fine....
>>64664985Looks like the NARP is no more. It is now called the “Praetorian”. Makes sense. 18 years is about how long they do it. AR70/90 1990-2008. ARX160 2008-2026.
>>64665194Nobody copies the French, and France copies no one. This is a genuine procurement doctrine of theres, to the point even vehicle paint schemes have to be an oh so unique shade compared to any other major Nato Power
Which one should I get? The jakl, oclan, or the classic ar 15. I'm really thinking between the bullpup oclan and the jakl. I'm gonna put a acog on it and if I get the jakl a foregrip but I don't know what to get. I want it for a sorta a marshall law home defense gun. I'm fairly familiar with the the ar platform though but the jakl and oclan seem like they'd be really cool to own. Anybody have experience with the jakl or a how a bullpup shoots compared to a ar for a right handed shooter? I got $1776 burning a hole in my pocket right now.
Get a 10.5" LWRC short stroke piston AR. Make it an SBR and throw a can on it. Best setup in the world.
>>64663995Get an AR, and next time post this in the QTDDTOT thread.
>>64663995>I'm fairly familiar with the the ar platform thoughThen you've been there and done that and know what you'd be missing if you went for the other options. You clearly have a taste for firearms that are a bit off the beaten path, and if you just go AR, I imagine you'll be kicking yourself later for not getting one of the things you really wanted.>Anybody have experience with the jakl Fairly heavy rifle but otherwise shoots great. I agree with other feedback I saw before I got mine: it is a solid piston rifle, looks and feels very nice, and is punching above its price tier. >or a how a bullpup shoots compared to a ar for a right handed shooter?I can't speak to the oclan specifically, but in general, bullpups take some getting used to. I would also advise you to get a 16" barrel bullpup as I felt the weight balance was superior with a longer barrel. But yeah once you get used to the ergos, you realize a lot of the shit people say about bullpups is written by people who have never fired a bullpup for more than 1 magazine or less. Yeah no shit your reloads are slow compared to your years of muscle memory with an AR. But guess what, if you reload a bunch of times with the bullpup, it gets faster. Anyway if you don't go with a bullpup now, I do recommend you get one later. They're fun and feel exotic.>>64664302Brens are nice but the Jakl has generally held up well. It's been out for a few years now. PSA seems to give it a better quality standard than their bargain bin ARs.>>64664294He did say he's familiar with ARs, even if he doesn't own one at present. Presumably just wants something new/exotic. Also while you're right about the oclan being new and untested, PSA does have good reputation for warranty service on other products they make, so I don't see this being much different. That said, warranties can't change shit into not-shit.>>64664080>>64664276>>64664552>>64664808Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
Bullpup needs a 20'' barrel + a long suppressor.
>>64664294I second that, imo if you live in the US having a decent AR and a gen3 g19/17 should be your first two purchases. It's like buying a '92 toyota corrolla for your daily driver, they do what they're supposed to, the design is proven without being overly complex, and parts are widely and cheaply available.
