And then the program inevitably gets canceled when somebody figures out how to make better bullets and that you can just issue ACOG/PSO low-power optics to everybody, instead of developing and fielding rifles that have fancy clockwork mechanisms and/or a goddamn rope inside them.

Nikolai Primak, head of the Russian investigation, said flight information appeared to be missing.
Read: The flight data is not being released because it wouldn't support the Russian MOD's claims.

Same with AN-94, recoil from 2 shots kich you just after second bullet leaves barrel. "Fck your shoulders!"-recoil rifles. They are not very comfortable, and burst modes on those 2 is not worth of trouble.
Will such types of small arms be ever needed?
The selling point always seems to be either for defeating body armor by striking (near) the same place multiple times and/or trying to make a shotgun as accurate as a rifle so that you can increase "kill probability" by putting more lead in the air so that the target is more likely to be hit or to take a vital hit.

Russia is now preventing airstrikes against ISIS in Northern Syria.
http://www.bloombergview.com/articles/2015-12-17/new-russian-air-defenses-in-syria-keep-u-s-grounded
Russia’s military operations inside Syria have been expanding in recent weeks, and the latest Russian deployments, made without any advance notice to the U.S., have disrupted the U.S.-led coalition's efforts to support Syrian rebel forces fighting against the Islamic State near the Turkey-Syria border, just west of the Euphrates River, several Obama administration and U.S. defense officials told us. This crucial part of the battlefield, known inside the military as Box 4, is where a number of groups have been fighting the Islamic State for control, until recently with overhead support from U.S. fighter jets.
But earlier this month, Moscow deployed an SA-17 advanced air defense system near the area and began “painting” U.S. planes, targeting them with radar in what U.S. officials said was a direct and dangerous provocation. The Pentagon halted all manned flights, although U.S. drones are still flying in the area. Russia then began bombing the rebels the U.S. had been supporting. (U.S. manned airstrikes continue elsewhere in Syria.)
Inside the top levels of the administration, officials are debating what to do next. The issue is serious enough that Secretary of State John Kerry raised it with Russian President Vladimir Putin when they met on Tuesday, and Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman General John Dunford has discussed it with his Russian counterpart as well, a spokesman for U.S. Air Force Central Command told us.
"The increasing number of Russian-supplied advanced air defense systems in Syria, including SA-17s, is another example that Russia and the regime seek to complicate the global counter-Daesh coalition’s air campaign,” said Major Tim Smith, using another term for the Islamic State.
The increasing number of Russian air defense systems further complicate an already difficult situation over the skies in Syria, and do nothing to advance the fight against the Islamic State, which has no air force, Smith said. He added that Russia could instead be using its influence with the regime to press President Bashar al-Assad to cease attacking civilians. “Unhelpful actions by Russia and the Syrian regime will not stop coalition counter-Daesh operations in Syria, nor will such actions push the coalition away from specific regions in Syria where Daesh is operating,” said Smith.

This game sounds goddamn sadistic, and surprise surprise, it was highly influential in Japan.
14 ports of the original Wizardry games, and 26 spinoff games, including a MMO. And a direct to VHS movie. Plus all the games that copied things from Wizardry like Final Fantasy, Dragon Quest, Etrian Odyssey, etc.

Boy howdy, HK probably made tens of dollars off that sale.
Well sometimes a European arms company has to do some deals where they only break even so that they can say "well not ALL of our sales go to the death squads of General Bloodmurder al-Badguy, President-for-Life of Oilistan."

Just sayin', not all anemeas are bad.
It's difficult. They immediately become the subjects of lolicon fetishism. In a sense, if we want to depict someone who is affirmative to us, we have no choice but to make them as lovely as possible. But now, there are too many people who shamelessly depict [such heroines] as if they just want [such girls] as pets, and things are escalating more and more.
You see, whether you can draw like this or not, being able to think up this kind of design, it depends on whether or not you can say to yourself, ‘Oh, yeah, girls like this exist in real life.' If you don’t spend time watching real people, you can’t do this, because you’ve never seen it. Some people spend their lives interested only in themselves. Almost all Japanese animation is produced with hardly any basis taken from observing real people, you know. It’s produced by humans who can’t stand looking at other humans. And that’s why the industry is full of otaku!

It's adorable to see revolverfags try to make fun of minor shit autos suffer from, when revolvers have this huge laundry list of malfunctions that read like a psychological horror novel.

I'm sorry, I can't remember the last time I blew up my semiauto because its chamber failed to align with the barrel properly.
How to fix a revolver: Contact your gunsmith and wait at least 4-6 weeks.

Col. Abdullah Alsehayyah, a commander of Saudi Special Forces in Yemen is reported killed in a rocket attack around Aden.
Apparently the Houthis hit a command center with a ballistic missile. 40 to 150 dead according to various sources.

For using a gas-operated rifle in cold conditions, be sure to mix in one part of antifreeze to two parts of rifle gas to prevent seizing and stovepipes.

Quite a reversal from the previous "FSA doesn't exist and is actually ISIS" line.

Putin told an annual meeting at the Russian defence ministry that on Friday Russian planes were assisting "in uniting the efforts of government troops and the Free Syrian Army".
"Now several of its units numbering over 5,000 troops are engaged in offensive actions against terrorists, alongside regular forces, in the provinces of Homs, Hama, Aleppo and Raqqa," he said, referring to the Free Syrian Army.

It's no F-15.
Prior to 1991, when McDonnell Douglas ended its program after accomplishing their flight objectives, the F-15 STOL/MTD achieved some impressive performance results:
Demonstrated vectored takeoffs with rotation at speeds as low as 42 mph (68 km/h)
a 25-percent reduction in takeoff roll
landing on just 1,650 ft (500 m) of runway compared to 7,500 ft (2,300 m) for the standard F-15
thrust reversal in flight to produce rapid decelerations
controlled flight at angles of attack up to about 85 degrees

The big Apogee/3D Realms bundle on Steam is going away at the end of the year due to IP fuckery, but you can currently snag it for $5 on Bundlestars, along with some other games of varying quality.

no, what are you insulating
That Ralph Peters is a flipflopper.

Ralph Peters? So did he flipflop and release a book six months later claiming the USSR would be totally crushed, followed by another one six months after that returning to the original position?

U.S. Led Coalition Kills 26 Civilians in Eastern Syria After Bombing the Syrian Army Hours Before
2 times in a 2 days "Russia" bombed Syrians, lol. It more looks like attempt to test Russian Airforces or/and AA systems. Maybe attempt to create political complications between Russian forces and Syrians. Or just incompetence.
Yeah that's about what I expected. "Russia could never ever ever ever fuck up! It's was a false flag!!" and a story from a Syrian propaganda outlet.

Russians bomb their allies, America blamed as usual.
Syria said Monday that U.S. airstrikes had killed three Syrian military personnel in Deir Ezzor province, and condemned the alleged attack as a "blatant aggression" and obstacle to the government's fight against "terrorism."
A spokesman for the U.S.-led military coalition in Iraq and Syria denied any targeting of Syrian forces, however.
Col. Steve Warren, said the coalition had carried out four strikes in Deir Ezzor on Sunday, but that all of them targeted oil infrastructure and that the U.S. military had "no indication any Syrian soldiers were near our strikes."
Warren told CBS News the strikes were about 30 miles away from the town of Ayyash, cited by the Syrian government as the location of the bombardment, and said the coalition jets "did not strike any vehicles or personnel targets."

They targeted one Samir Kuntar (or Qantar), a "moderate anti-imperialist secularist" who lead the 1979 Nahariya attack, where he smashed open a 4 year old girl's head with a rifle butt before being captured. Since his release in 2008 in a prisoner swap deal, he's been involved in further terrorist attacks against Israel and apparently has been running a death squad for the Syrian government.

The "six to eight" other people killed were apparently mainly Hezbollah field commanders.
