My one and only public shooting range in my area is closed until fall, they were supposed to open in August but they're still working on the back stop. All because some dumbass put a couple rounds over it and they lost their insurance. Because it's public and because it's government is going to take forever if they even get it open in the fall. Thank you Henry county damn Wilbur wright

Aren't they almost the same aircraft?>Delta cope>Canards>Twin engine>unit cost higher than F-35Dassault should have joined the eurocope development and saved themselves some cash.
>>65435076I'm sure the chinks say so, yes
>>65435107 Same happened to us Spain with navantia and their shipyards. They fucked us over with the scorpene and they allied with Morocco during the perejil situation, so we splitter and made our own. S-80+ despite what you read in the internet, if you spend a bit reading about it, it's the best non nuclear ocean submarine, and that happened thanks to leaving France
>>65430998>>65431030Nah, Gripen is the better cannard delta wing fighter.
>>65434431There are a bunch of nato countries with operational f35s dude
>>65430998>DeltaMany advantage to this design, everyone is going for it.>CanardsSame as above, not even much impact on stealth.>Twin engineIncrease reliability>F35 unit costThe maintenance costs are skyrocketing when the fighter itself is grounded with only a 25% readiness.https://www.thedefensenews.com/F-35-Fleet-Readiness-Falls-to-25-Amid-Parts-Shortages-and-Software-Delays-GAO-Report/The Rafale flight readiness is like 80%.>save moneyThe Eurofighter development cost was higher per country than the Rafale cost was for France.The Rafale is vastly superior to the EF in all but speed, and honestly superior to the F35 except gimmick.Comment too long.

>>65439583DESU, a DD that can't carry at least two V-22 is kinda pointless.also, bring back picrel. its only real problem was high pressure blowing rocks, but that wouldn't be an issue aboard ships.

What’s some /k/ recommended apparel? I’m not talking about uniforms and helmets, military stuff, but fashion (t-shirts, hats, etc.)

>>65431106I got a buddy and every year without fail for Christmas he sends me a couple Grunt Style shirts. I love him for the thought but yeah, they go straight to Goodwill. I keep a couple around for shop work, shit like that, and just in case he ever shows up. Good dude.

They had popular production rifle caliber LMGs before the first world war, everyone had been producing their own SMGs for decades before the second world war, everyone obviously had plenty of bolt action rifles and usually way more than they'd ever need.What was so difficult about creating an economical for mass production and tactically practical automatic rifle for every nation before the second world war? Even just shaving down an LMG or scaling up an SMG.Were all attempts just mishandled or were there really no suitable candidates for such a conversion?
>>65443108>The British were still manufacturing and issuing fucking Martinis to backline troops and cadets because they literally could not afford to drop Enfield production for frontline troopsComplete bullshit
>>65441404Semantics.
>>65442063>They thought the machine gun was more importantIt was
>>65441351the simple, boring answer is that while rifles are highly visible because so many people use them, they aren't a very high priority for military planners compared to really expensive projects like tanks, ships and airplanes and improved artillery, that make much more of a difference on the battlefield. Also, basically the entire world was poor as shit due to the great depression, and prior to that there was a ten to fifteen year period where nobody wanted to invest in defense because they had a hangover from World War 1.>>65441396I think you would need to make so many changes to the design to include a gas system that it's easier to start from the ground up.
>>65441416>Delayed blowback isn't even close to a minor modification of simple blowback, it wasn't invented and/or wasn't considered for rifles.delayed blowback was pretty specifically invented for rifles, not pistol caliber weapons. the most popular delayed blowback SMG was derived from a full sized rifle.
Will the ability for servicemen to sustain very high G forces be something you foresee being important for the militarization of space? I could see a future in which it isn't due to autonomous weaponry having that burden while manned craft moved much more slowly and acted as C&C only. Also, it seems like varying thrust would make doing so long term a lot easier, so you have high G "shifts" where crew are lying down and doing whatever possible to make it safer and more bearable and low G shifts for maintenance and breaks but I have never heard of this in fiction, is there some obvious flaw to it?
Why aren't we working on a skyhook yet?
>>65443880Skyhook is stupid enough it transfers it's orbital velocity to the vehicle being lifted so you end up needing the same delta-v on the hook as you would have needed on the craft.What actually is practical is nuclear tugs in LEO to push payloads into higher orbits.
>>65444105>enoughFug, *because
>>65444105Based midwitDelta v in space and delta v in atmosphere are drastically different, and transitioning between them is yet another thing.In addition to those three, extending the window in which that delta v has to be consumed changes things further. With a skyhook you could have an airbreathing vehicle like a jet take a payload to rendezvous with the skyhook which is then pulled into orbit, and then space optimized vehicles can 'reset' it using highly efficient thrust, like ion engines powered via solar panels. Theoretically you could even use solar sails.
>>65444123The skyhook has to be high enough that drag isn't a major issue putting it in near vacuum, the same place a second stage would be providing that same delta-v with a similarly efficient vacuum engine. >extending the window in which that delta v has to be consumed True you could use a little ion engine.>you could have an airbreathing vehicle like a jeDrag says no before even considering thermal re-entry issues.> Theoretically you could even use solar sails.Solar sails, that get low enough in the atmosphere for air breathing engines? Also please look up the "thrust" of photon and mag sails.

WHAT WE KNOW ABOUT THE GOA RULING:Ok, so, for everyone who is wondering about the whole NFA nonsense, let's cut the fuckin bullshit for a second and let me tell you you exactly where are at on this and what you can and cannot do.>DISCLAIMER!!!!!!THIS IS NOT LEGAL ADVICE BY ANY MEANS AND I DO NOT CODONE YOU TAKING ANY ADVICE FROM THIS POST.>Who does the injunction cover?The plaintiffs in the case which are GOA members and associated parties, now or future. Wanna be covered by this? Join the GOA. It's 25 dolans.>Is it just for the 5th circuit or the district the court covers?No. It is nation wide.>Does state law still apply?YES. I cannot emphasize this enough. If you think you are all good to go, but you live in a state where the state law REQUIRES you file a form 1 or 4 for NFA items, YOU WILL GO TO FUCKING PRISON IF YOU DO NOT FILE THEM.>Can I now just make an sbr, sbs, or suppressor?The short answer is "Are you brave enough?". The long answer is, we don't know. According to the ruling, you should be fine to, but you never know what the ATF could pull out of their ass. It is recommended that you wait until we get official guidance from the ATF. Honestly, if you're gonna do it now, I doubt you will get your door kicked in and butthole fingered, but you should still keep it to yourself in the mean time if you DO decide to do it. Posting your brand new sbr all over Facebook does not bode well if the ATF puts out a statement saying you are still breaking the law if you have these items without the proper papers.>Can I now go and but an sbr, sbs, or suppressor from an FFL?Likely not. Most FFLs are not willing to take the risk right now until they get official guidance from the ATF. >Will this injunction cover other Americans as well?Comment too long.

>>65425489>The plaintiffs getting injunctive relief are scattered across the entire USA,Too bad for them, lmao. If they get prosecuted under the NFA, they're not going to land in this court and this injunction literally does not apply because it's outside its jurisdiction.

What makes European weapons superior to everyone s else's?
>>65436714...You don't need to water the fields. That's entirely optional.>That much water would drown out other crops. That's why they do it. Because it's less labor intensive to grow rice, not more. Because no weeds can survive. Just rice. Rice is a grass just like every other grain. It doesn't need to grow in a rice paddy. It will grow in a field just fine.

>>65443012Gun porn huh
Somethings weird about this. I see it lacks the heat vents by the rear sight, and the finish is different on the upper, more tanodized looking than the variants most often documented; and theres something going on with the m-lok at the front. Makes me think this might be an older iteration from when they were still playing around with powered handguards.

>>65436674Yes, they would either have their sub detour through a deeper section of water ahead of time, or more likely in this scenario, have a 2nd SSN on the other side of strait already waiting for the CSG, and the first SSN simply goes back into the pacific SSN patrols instead of continuing as the CSG escort.
