Why are sig grips so fat and ugly? They look like bland round pieces of shit, perfect for their rotund owners. I love the FCU idea but cannot bring myself to get one of these. Hopefully the springfield echelon expands on their platform, at least it doesnt look like horse shit

You realize that compact frame comes in three grip sizes, right? And then there's all of the other frame options. And there are aftermarket frames.

Huh??? I don't think any nations have allowed anyone in their borders besides their own military to construct, train on, and operate modern warships since the days of the East India Company. Pretty much every navy in modern history has had shipping protection as a primary role, keeping global trade running smoothly is basically the #1 job of the USN at this point. What makes you think you know better than every government and naval leader on Earth?

Yamato, while deeply flawed in multiple ways, was a remarkable achievement of engineering for the nation and ultimately future proofed herself by sheer size as a Battleship. During design they could not have known that the Battleship would become less tactically versatile or be outstripped in the role of "main firepower dealer" by carriers.

Certainly was at the time. They didn't have to deal with the limitations of the panama canal either so they built it as big as they wanted. Shame it was too high value so she didn't get much use as a warship and was more a propaganda piece.

Has it been confirmed that burkes are having all their 20mm replaced? The news from April this year was that they would get SeaRAM and Mk49 where incompatible. But I haven't checked whether there were public clarifications on how many Mk15's would be kept.

Artillery pieces last a long fucking time man. We basically perfected tube artillery in WW2 and everything since then has been incremental improvements in range and accuracy until PGM shells became a thing. The bong 25 pounder from WW2 is still in service with a shitload of small militaries.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ordnance_QF_25-pounder#Current_operators

And if someone develops a copperhead shell for that thing, it'll probably stay in service until the carriages fall apart, so another approximately 400 years.

Infantry generally can't shoot mortars out of the air. Droppers can be shot down. Remember, you only see the successful hits.
>>
>>62783563
Yes really.
What you see in Ukraine is commercial drones adapted for FPV.
As for Korea, they will engineer a purpose built drone that comes packaged in a compact protective case all folded up.
And you don't have to carry a heavy ass mortar so in fact you can carry more than 1:1 ratio of FPV's compared to a mortar.

What's the main reason why militaries don't use translucent magazines for most of their guns?

>Too expensive?
>Difficult to produce?
>Is the quality/durability terrible?
>Too Heavy?
2 replies omitted. Click here to view.
>>
>>62786937
Some do. G36 and Sig 550 magazines are translucent but they add a smoky pigmentation to the plastic in order to make them less shiny. I think the primary concern is making it too easy for an enemy to spot the rifle at a distance because either the cartridges or magazine itself are shining too much in the sun.
A lesser concern might be the enemy detecting that a rifleman is low on ammunition. It's retarded because the rifleman would sooner see that information and take action on it than the person staring down the barrel of the rifle, but military procurement tends to be conservative and not very bright. I can imagine them replaying a scene from an action movie where the good guy cleverly pilots out that the bad guy's gun is empty over and over in their heads for that decision process. Apparently this was a big reason why the G3 and MP5 don't have a last round bolt hold open feature.
>>
>>62786937
idk man but the smokey plastic magazines being made for the mp5 will break if you insert them on a closed bolt.
>>
>>62787074
>Apparently this was a big reason why the G3 and MP5 don't have a last round bolt hold open feature.
That's insane if true.
>>
>>62786937
The black pigment added to many plastics is not just for cosmetic purposes. It makes the plastic stronger and tougher, and increases its UV resistance. Any plastic which is transparent is necessarily weaker than it could otherwise be because it doesn't have any fillers in it.
