>P90 frt on it's way editionYep you read that right we have developed a 3 position trigger for the PS90 platform. We are 97% completed with it just making a few fine tuning adjustments and a little bit more R&D with it before we will feel comfortable releasing it out in the world. We planned on having their release on the same day as a surprise but after thinking it through we think it would be wise to hold off on the release just until we get our bearings straight with the Vector launch. Not too much at one time. After all we are only 2 people doing it all by ourselves other than the manufacturing. \https://wickedarmsinnovation.blogspot.com/Is it legal?

>>64483359they must've edited this or im retarded, probably the latter. Answered my own question
>>64483371nvm they did edit it or something, anyone get the two stage to work or did they fuck up?
>>64482933I meant glock mag ready out of the box, stribogs need a lower swap in comparison
>>64483211>https://streamable.com/qoyvwmNice. Have you used the AZR? I'm trying to figure out if there's a significant difference between the ROF on the AZR, the ArcFire, and the Rarebreed. So far my only experience firsthand is with the Regulator and SOT frens select fire lowers with various length uppers. Real SF lowers seem to be really high, like they feel/sound like 800-950rpm on a 14.5, 10.3, 11.5 depending on the upper. An AZR seems to be like 750ish with a can on a 14.5, 11.5. An AZ regulator without a can just fucking chugs to the point I feel it's actually more of a hinderance to making controlled burst, I can feel the reciprocation of the bolt carrier much more pronounced. Do you find the same with the Super Safe/Arc Fire type setups? >Mars KitSpeaking of which mine came in today, and I jumped at the cheap price of the V1 kit not really understanding the difference between it and the V2. The V1 is like some straight cobbled together bullshit, they should basically just charge you $50 for the machined pivot arm and disconnector and just say "bring your own trigger and a piece of wire hanger". I haven't tried it out yet, but I got a feeling I'm going to end up having to find a better solution than their provided coat hanger wire, as even just function testing it feels janky and not confidence inspiring.
>>64483773>NiceYeah no signs of wear, bending, or breaking so far, 400 rounds in and I wasn't going easy on it at all. Ample trigger finger pressure, full gas with can, 0.070" port 10.3", H3 buffer, M193 spec ammo. >AZROld Colorado buddy of mine got one, Working for him so far, but only two position I think?>ROF differenceI was just talking to A2grip and the guy that got the AZR about ROF in FRT/SS guns. With real machine guns you can tune ROF independently of system reliability, but because FRT/SS systems have to overcome the variable trigger finger pressure as a part of the cycling action, and require additional energy above and beyond a real machine gun for each cycle to force the reset, I've found that the best reliability with FRT/SS systems both AR and AK is one with relatively speaking high ROF. Honestly though I haven't clocked any of my systems, I need to get a better shot timer, for that reason and others. >Mars Kit V1After getting a fresh trip "bar" (steel wire bullshit) I sold the kit my friend and I tried getting to work in his Yugo M72 RPK on tacswap. Hope you're well man!

Thoughts on the FN Evolys? It's a contender for the British Army's replacement LMG.
>>64481522>neger-7No white country wants your genocide rifle shitskin
>>64482747There was an argument to be made for bullpup service rifles when all we had was relatively low pressure ball ammunition. But in 2025, you can make a bullet do anything with modern cases and modern bullets. This is why everyone is moving away from bullpups to short barreled rifles.
>>64480941Yeah it's something stupid like 25% lighter than contemporary LMGs.
>>64479618The KAC LAMG blows it out of the water. Also has a QCB despite being lighter (when accounting for the KAC's heavier barrel). The Evolys's barrel is literally lighter than an M27 IAR's. But the Evolys will also be chambered in the new LICC cartridge, that's cool I guess.

Where the revolvers chads at? Haven't seen a revolver general in a few daysModel 60 no dash. Came with old worn out pachmeyer grips, the wood is way nicer. Never understood full size grips on tiny j frames. Any good recommendations for defensive standard pressure .38 spl loads?
>>64477053Desu, the only gun I ever sold was a ruger P89 police trade in that had to have the slide replaced because it got re-imported from the third world after being mangled with sandpaper, maybe my uncle still has it, probably should have tried to trade it for his nickel plated viz Radom 35 with no rifling before he sold it at auction, of course he bought my Ruger after he sold his VIZ at auction, but a trade my dumb ass didn't comprehend at the time

Could the US army overindexing on conventional warfare weapons come to bite them in places like Nigeria or Venezuela? What use is an Abrams in the jungles?
>>64477590That's what the paratroopers are for, and no, helicopters/drones/lasers/whatever aren't a satisfactory replacement.
>>64482231To be fair, the Sherman is literally half the weight of the Abrams though. Booker would be a closer match if it wasn't also a 40 ton fat bastard.

Why does the Korean War get ignored so much?
>>64482248Koreans lost millions dead and Korean girls got mass raped so it was worth it.
>>64482498they were north korean so who cares
>>64473907The only one who failed their objective was North Korea. Literally everyone won something from that war.>USAThey won an ally basicily for the rest of time. US Army/Marines came out stronger from the war considering the the shit state that they were in post ww2. US showed that it has air dominance compared to the USSR.>South KoreaAre still independent and not part of the north.Gained a ally, gained more land than they had before the war.>ChinaChina's main goal in the war was making sure that a Commie/Eastern aligned Country still existed on its border to act as a buffer between NATO/Western powers. Even though they lost a lot men, it still showed that China can't be pushed around and that they are capable of punching up.>USSRGot to test their jets against NATO/US jets and got to learn more about US/NATO capability without really losing much.North Korea got it the worst. They lost more land than they started off with, lost a shit ton of men, became very dependent on China to develop and to top it off they didn't take and unite into one country as they originally planned.
>>64472024Largely because in the absence of a Cold War gone Hot, the thinking of the time is that it was a diversion or a distraction. Communism must not be allowed to spread, Truman doctrine and domino theory and all that, yes. We very much could have planned a total offensive after Chosin, carrier task groups, landings, you name it. But the prevailing thought was that Germany was always going to be where the REAL battle would take place. We send too many troops to the "flanks" of the global battle line, the Soviets would ram through the fulda gap without breaking a stride. Both Korea and Vietnam, while not insignificant or inconsequential, were ultimately considered less important usages of resources than the absolute fuckload of importance placed on the direct conflict everyone assumed would happen. Of course, because it never happened, it makes what things DID happen take on far more importance in hindsight . One could argue that Korea gets forgotten about almost because its outcome was as nebulous and unsatisfying as Europe between 1945 and the end of the USSR. To the general public, it was neither a defeat nor a victory, but just another line drawn between the 2 forces, waiting for the real war to determine a winner to happen.
>>64483561It sounds very callous but even the state of North Korea today is overall a net positive to everyone except maybe the Nork citizens. China has a buffer state/attack dog, South Korea/the US has a reason to keep military spending, but North Korea sometimes forces China to be a bit more diplomatic when they are tard wrangling them. The Kims get to be monarchs in all but name. The only people who suffered were the North Korean citizens but frankly it's been so many generations at this point, I don't even know how much they know about their relative state of existence. I genuinely cannot think of a way that even a peaceful collapse of North Korea/reunification with South Korea would not be infinitely worse, from the sheer economic burden of inheriting the mother of all project houses, to the political climate as SK and China both jockey for geopolitical gains, to dealing with the millions of malnourished and largely uneducated people you are now responsible for. It fucking sucks to say it but pragmatically speaking, the existence of North Korea for the time being is largely a net benefit for most parties.
It's pretty funny that the marines were the ones who wanted to adopt the M16A2, but now the 36 yard marine zero for M4s is actually basically a copy of the short aperture zero for the M16A1.Both the M16A1 and the 36 yard M4 zero are nominally 250 meter zeros where the peak of the bullet travel is 3.5 inches over the sights, the bullet crosses the far zero somewhere around 270 yards and then is 3.5 inches low at 300 yards.if you try doing the 25/300 meter zero the army uses (which it looks like not every army unit uses it based on one thing I read) you get like a 7 inch peak in the zero. so going to the 36 yard zero you're reducing your highest point by 50%
>>64479710it's a compromise. a 50 yard zero means you are never more than like an inch and a half high but you start running into issues before 300 yards36 yards means you are going to be 3.5 inches high but can push out to like 300 meters25 meters means you are 7 inches high but you get to like 350 meters nearly 400 yards
>>64479998>>64479727i dont get it you gotta take into account that you can only zero stuff on public ranges.
>>64483767when you zero a gun you are making a tradeoff between how far you can shoot the gun without changing the sites and the bullet's deviation from the sight as it travels from the near to far zero.the public range thing isn't the biggest deal in the world because you can print targets that have like an >aim here>hit herething that allows you to zero at a distance other than the one the range allows. the army and marines use targets like that
man, just point and shoot and adjust from there.

Does wearing nitrile gloves while cleaning my guns make a difference for lead exposure
>>64473714TLDRThe skin is the largest organ of the body and it absorbs things. Wear cheap ass nitrile gloves while working with chemicals and you wont end up a fucking drooling retard with dementia. OK?
>Exposure increases when it is time for the individual to clean-up, because handling empty casings can result in lead being transferred to the skin, or to clothing and other garments from where it will eventually find its way into the body. The actual cleaning process for the weapon also removes much of the remaining lead in the barrel and lead particulates from other parts of the weapon and transfers it to the cleaner's hands. Oils and solvents used to clean and lubricate weapons cause the natural oils in the skin to evaporate, leaving dry skin and open pores through which the lead can more easily pass>Precautions can be taken both on and off the range to protect shooters, instructors, and their families from the effects of lead poisoning. Administrative controls and good hygiene are two necessary tools. In addition, all shooters and instructors should practice the following "do's and don'ts" of range safety.>Don't smoke on the range: Smoking any type of tobacco products on the range should be prohibited to prevent acceleration of inhaled lead into the blood stream and ingestion of lead transferred from hands to the cigarette, cigar, etc>Don't eat on the range: Lead dust on hands and face can be ingested through contact with food. Airborne lead expelled from the weapon can also contaminate food.>Don't collect fired brass in hats: Many shooters use their hats to collect spent brass; this contaminates the hat with lead particles. When the hat is placed back on the head, the lead is deposited into the hair and absorbed into the skin. Providing boxes for the brass prevents this practice.
>>64483080>Do be aware that hair and clothes are still contaminated: Shooters and firearms instructors should wear an outer garment, such as a jumpsuit or coveralls, or change clothes before going home. Contaminated clothes should not be cleaned by blowing, shaking, or other means that dispense lead into the air. To prevent cross-contamination, range clothes should be washed separately from the family's regular laundry. Families with infants should be particularly careful, since infants are most vulnerable to lead contamination. Changing to clean clothing before leaving the range prevents recontamination of the hands and any contamination of the family vehicle.>Do change shoes before entering residence: Shoes can also transport lead into the home. Shoes should be left at the door to prevent tracking lead onto floors and carpets. As an alternative, disposable shoe coverlets can be used while firing and cleaning, then discarded when leaving the range. Ordinary vacuuming does not remove lead from the home, but redistributes it by blowing it into the air to be inhaled and/or resettled onto the carpet.>Do avoid physical contact with family members until after a shower, shampoo, and change of clothes: Lead can be transferred by casual contact. Family and friends should not be hugged or kissed until after a shower and a change of clothes. Any physical contact should be avoided while the shooter is still in range clothing
>>64483083>>64483080That just makes you wanna never shoot
>>64473714Why are you such a faggot? We used to bite down on lead fishing weights. Don't be a bitch.
2x3 is the most aesthetic. What's your favorite turret layout?
>>64482579shit shells and awful communication
>>64482579didn't the germans have either better armour or guns?
>>64482648brits definitely outgunned the germans, both in terms of number of guns as well as the size of those gunsgermany wouldn't commission anything bigger than 12" until after Jutland, whereas the RN showed up with a shitton of 15" and 13.5" gunsproblem was (iirc) that their AP shells had a tendency to explode on contact instead of after punching through the armourand to add insult to injury, some of the (more spectacular) british losses were down to things like leaving blast doors open to increase reload speed to compensate for lack of gunnery training, and their battlecruisers being more designed around the cruising than (the line of) battle (and vice versa for germany)
>>64482648Germans mostly used 12" guns but due to their superior metallurgy their gun performance actually matched or exceeded British 13.5" and even 15" guns.

>>64483510that's what i am saying. early merlins without the speshul 60-series supercharger were comparable to the allisons. those didn't really enter service until 1943 by which point the P-40 was entering obsolescence and there was no point putting the new hot-shit high altitude engine into an old airframe.the reason the P-40s got them was that they had them available and for a short period of time in early 1942 the packard-merlin had better LOW altitude performance than the allison -39 used in the D/E. this didn't last long because they came out with the -73 and -81 which trumped the (now in demand) packard-merlin at low altitude so they switched again and never looked back.
