  1. Yes, early .303 British (which was blackpowder) is essentially the apex of blackpowder cartridge technology. You can reduce the caliber more, but your performance goes correspondingly down, and BP .303 is anemic enough as it is.
  2. It'd be pissweak. I think the maximum blackpowder velocity attainable is like 1,900 ft/s.
  3. You know you don't need to tell me that, if you have read the article.
  4. AR-15s are cheaper and quicker to make, actually, and more fully take advantage of modern production techniques. That's part of what I find so endearing about the AK.
  5. The 6.8 article or the Hit Piece article? Also, this is the second time this fortnight that I've pissed off a forum.
  6. How much you want to bet this was named after Leonard Nimoy
  7. The 6.8 SPC article has officially broken my comment record, set by "A Dissection Of (Yet) An(other) M4 Hit Piece" at 586 comments:
  8. Documents regarding US CAS aircraft.
  9. Documents regarding USAF CAS assets: AERODYNAMIC CHARACTERISTICS OF A 0.12-SCALE MODEL OF THE A-9A AIRCRAFT AT MACH NUMBERS FROM 0.30 TO 0.80 A-10 Thunderbolt II (Warthog) SYSTEMS ENGINEERING CASE STUDY FLIGHT EVALUATION (SYSTEMS) OF THE A-1OA PROTOTYPE AIRCRAFT - APPENDIX V - WEAPON DELIVERY FLIGHT EVALUATION (SYSTEMS OF THE A-10A PROTOTYPE AIRCRAFT SOVIET ASSESSMENTS OF U. S. CLOSE AIR SUPPORT The Use of Prototypes in Weapon System Development
  10. Same thing happening right now with the M4 and M855. "They sought replacements, which means they were defective". It's a political game, just trying to dig at your opponent in any way you can.
  11. Sherman should of course be a demon in another religion. Better chuck in some random people, like Eddie Murphy as the God of Husbandry.
  12. That's actually stolen footage from a KSP YouTuber. Jackasses.
  13. OH MY GOD YOU'RE RIGHT Is there some secret Music Illuminati that reaches out and grasps decent bands in their metaphorical fists, and then crushes them until they're absolutely dull mass market shit? Is this like how MBAs keep ruining my favorite restaurants?
  14. Welcome, Virdea, I'm very happy to have you here. I would recommend anyone interested in 20th Century small arms check out his site, he has a lot of good info there. Cheers! -Nathaniel
  15. The current TeamSpeak 3 server is shutting down at the end of the month. The new TS3 server is already set up. PM me, Unstart, collimatrix, or Belesarius for info.
  16. I should clarify - I have no problem with leaving it vague (more design diversity), but I was curious.
  17. The Supersonic Transport as an Instrument of National Power Pretty badass title.
