Very valid point about rimfire. After over 300 rounds of .22mag I haven't had any misfires yet. Yet being the operative word. I pretty much only carry it when I'm going somewhere abnormally safe(homogeneous and rural) but still want more than just hand to hand/knife.

>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.
Take the FP-5, it can be concealed easily in any big rig. And look how much chaotic it’s doing to vatnikstan.
The submarines can stay in their role of harassing enemy sea lanes, which is what their primary role in the first place.

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.

>>65317867
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.

>Germany has agreed with the U.S. government to acquire Tomahawk cruise missiles and station them on German territory, Chancellor Friedrich Merz told lawmakers in Berlin on Thursday.

>Merz said that he had met with Washington on the sidelines of the NATO summit in Ankara to seal the deal, adding that the summit had exceeded all of his expectations.

>"In doing so, we are closing a critical strategic gap in our defence, while simultaneously working to develop our own European systems and station them in Europe," he said.

>The fate of the Tomahawks had been unclear after President Donald Trump announced in May that he would reduce U.S. military presence in Germany, which had been seen as a cancellation of a plan under the previous administration to deploy a U.S. battalion with long-range Tomahawk missiles to Germany.

>Berlin has pushed for the move as a powerful deterrent against Russia while Europeans develop such weapons of their own.

actually, i'll pre-empt someone talking about this

IRGC is weakened, but has a stronger hold on the country than ever before.

proxies were already getting exploded pre-war.

nuclear program can and will continue unless the treaty includes something specifically about that and probably even then because the US just demonstrated why they really need nukes.

the world economy has taken a big hit and a lot of nations are going to be less trusting of the US going on because this has and will continue to hurt them.

>>65324762
overpenetration. If you have it turned all the way up, the bullet doesn't get a chance to maximize damage to a target and it hits the terrain behind it. Its also really hard on the gun as it causes excess wear and tear. However, this is really useful when you are actually trying to hit a second target behind the first. You really hurt the first guy while still getting max damage on the guy you were targeting. its a noob mistake to leave the power on max but its really nice to have when you need it.
