Turns out if you are avoiding damage and have the option of being stationary or traveling ~.5 nm every minute while defending against inbound weapons with no mid course guidance and extremely limited, if any, terminal guidance, it turns out the first option can't get enough SHORAD and the second option doesn't need it.

The guy was spending a ton of money to corner the parts market in the first place, but I honestly estimate I've pushed his acquisition costs up 2-3000$ per week minimum, and this has been an ongoing vendetta for just shy of three months, so there's a chance I've cost him north of $25k so far.

What are FRTs:
Forced Reset Triggers (FRTs) are firearm modifications that allow semi-automatic rifles to fire more rapidly by automatically resetting the trigger after each shot, while still requiring a trigger pull for each round. They increase the rate of fire without converting the firearm into a fully automatic weapon.

>As the Canadian newspaper The Globe and Mail reports today, the Canadian government has decided to buy 12 U212 CD from the German company TKMS. The exact financial volume of the procurement is not yet known, but is expected to be between 60 and 80 billion dollars. The German submarine concept was thus able to prevail over the competition from South Korea.

>“The Canadian government, according to two sources, has commissioned the German company TKMS to build a submarine fleet for Canada,” the newspaper The Globe and Mail said, “‘The Globe and Mail’ newspaper does not name the sources because they were not authorized to comment publicly on this matter.”

>Overall, the order is to be the construction and maintenance or continuous modernization of 12 U212 CD submarines from TKMS, according to the Canadian newspaper. The Canadian government will also announce this decision before the NATO summit in Ankara, which begins tomorrow. At first, Bild had reported on this procurement decision in Germany, but also referred to the article of “The Globe and Mail”.

>However, this decision is not yet to be regarded as a contract, as the more detailed negotiations – for example regarding production lines and supplier chains – are only beginning now. Nevertheless, it is the decisive step and an enormous success for the German U-boat producer.

In that case, you might as well procure/build up the capability to churn out cheap GLCMs, much like what Ukraine is doing. There will be a massive market for cost effective GLCM and associated turbojet in the coming years. Korean short range SLBM is a very niche weapon and not effective at all against the US navy, Best Korean navy is a circus show no matter how much Little Kimmy trying to flaunt. Ursa Major sinking will likely set their SSBN program back even more.

Just like how the hood would be better if cops ignored it. Contrary to leftist pussies, “community policing” would result in a glorious and righteous brutality that the police have been unwilling and unable to enforce. Black “community policing” would cause a level of violence that would make the Rwanda genocide look like a bum fight, because your average bn isn’t defecting against anything by committing murder. He’s making what is ultimately a genetically rational decision that will result in his becoming a baby daddy to ten kids. The effect of the Anglo police system is actually to inhibit the birth of an actually black male cooperative order proper to their race (which would look really brutal to us, but who cares) by overlooking spontaneous violence while cracking down on collective violence. The birth pangs of this would be both absurdly eugenic and really fun to watch from a safe distance.

Hello /k/,

I have a Rock-Ola M1 Carbine with a type II rear sight. I have it set to it's lowest setting at 100 yards but the impacts are well higher than my point of aim. pic related. Please ignore the group size. I was in a rush to leave because I was shooting alone until someone else showed up and my mags are too spicy for this state.

I suspect that the front sight was filed down too far by a previous owner but I wanted to see if anyone has some insight on something like this.
I also want to know what the point of impact is supposed to be for 25 and 50 yards if the sight is set to 100. I apologize if this is too gun related for this board.

>Without me holding the sling tight the barrel band will walk forward and the hand guard will fly off during shooting.
You don't think this might affect accuracy?
>>
>>65325451
Of course it will. It partly explains why the groups are opening up, but I won't deny that my shooting was a big part of it.

There is still a consistent movement of the grouping going upward as the distance increases and it doesn't correspond with the markings on the rear sight. That's what I'm curious about.
>>
>>65325424
As previous anon said it may be due to ammo. Different ammo load and weight can cause quite significant POI shift. Try using different ammunition. In your case since the trajectory seems to be flatter than intended I'd start either by using a weaker load or heavier bullets.

If the discrepancy between the iron sight setting and the actual zero distance is bothering you, you can always take it to a gunsmith to get it fixed. But keep in mind that achieving a true 100yds zero will probably mean the other settings will be off without the proper ammo.
>>
>>65325710
I have ammo from Aguila and MAGTECH. Both are 110 grain and if wikipedia is to be trusted then authentic .30 Carbine ball ammo is also 110 grain.

I suppose I am getting too autistic about it since these carbines weren't made with any real precision in mind. Is the 300 yard max adjustment on the type 2 sight just wishful thinking on behalf of the designers?
>>
>>65325760
US military ammo for the M1 Carbine was 110gr bullet traveling at about 1900fps, which almost every modern manufactured 110gr ammo replicates, so unless you somehow got a batch of bad ammo from both it's not the ammo. The 300 yard is very wishful thinking, 200 yards is usually the max practical range for hitting a decently sized (e.g. man-sized) target reliably. I'm wondering if the barrel band not being tight causing the handguard to return to its home planet may be causing some severe vertical stringing. See if you can punch out the barrel band spring to see if it's not actually broken. You might need to use channellocks to gently squeeze the barrel band to increase tension. easier route would be to buy a new one. The other option is indeed the front sight is fucked and buy a new one and gently file it while at the range. Look up ballistics calculators to see what drops are supposed to be if the sights are set for actual ranges they're supposed to be at.

The breakeven point on prop vs. fan is 0.5M. Airliners are further optimized for just under transonic speeds (0.85M).
>>
>>65325139
It kinda depends. The P-8 lacks MAD and isn't well-suited for low'n'slow operations. Adaptations had to be made in order to deploy sonobuoys and torpedoes (HAAWC) from higher altitudes and faster speeds. It could certainly be argued that purely from an ASW perspective, the P-8 is an inferior airframe compared to a turboprop. Of course, the Nimrod serves as a useful counterpoint to that claim.

However, that's just ASW. Maritime patrol these days is a lot more focused on floaty things and even sometimes dirty things (especially the EP-3s) rather than on bubbly things. Having a 737-based aircraft that can tool around at jetliner speeds, uses mostly commercial logistics, and can probably perform the other missions *better* than the P-3 is worth it as long as its performance at ASW is adequate.

>>65325190
It depends on the mission. Airliners *are* used a lot--Douglas made far more DC-3s for the US Army than for the airlines. The 707 was a parallel development of a military design that's still in service (KC-135s, E-3s, E-6s, etc.) today. 747s, 757s, and 767s have all been purchased for everything from presidential planes to nuclear command aircraft to AWACS; the P-8 falls into this category.

Some modern military cargo aircraft tend to have special requirements, however, e.g., the ability of the C-130 or C-17 to operate on rough (even dirt) airstrips and deploy troops or cargo by parachute, which dictate design elements that you just won't find on a commercial aircraft. Plus, the US in particular uses the CRAF, in which it subsidizes airliner purchases in exchange for the right to commandeer them in times of need. Add in buying commercial seats (or even entire flights), and that largely takes care of the need to keep large numbers of airliners painted green or gray.
>>
>>65325190
>>65326201
On the economy of scale thing it's also worth pointing out that some closely aligned air forces are beginning to make it SOP to allow identical airframes to be serviced by whoever's closest. The USAF and RAAF have had a cross-training program for C-17As since 2019 for instance. They could've technically worked on each other's before but now they do additional training so everyone knows the other air force's workflows to make sure everything's done the same way and to the same standards as if they'd done them in-house. I'm sure other air forces have their own programs, but just between those you have 230 of the 279 airframes built in the same maintenance workflow.
I believe that the USAF, RAAF and RNZAF just signed something similar for their C-130J fleets which puts 210 of 500 in a similar position.
Point is that improving reach of your support and parts chain is still possible with other airframes.
>>
>>65325190
In my more cynical moments, I sometimes wonder if one motivation is not wanting to hand a commercially in-demand type rating to people who are more than capable of comparing military pay and conditions to that of civvy street and making appropriate career decisions.
