  1. Someone drove a car into counter protestors. "I asked you nicely to clap."
  2. Two extremes of identity politics come to town and that is the result, not unlike those old Jerry Springer shows where they sit KKK members next to Black Panthers and the whole episode is just bleeps and the security pulling people away from each other.
  3. This light attack aircraft competition, I really like the Scorpion but I think it is too expensive to be competitive with the Tucano, Wolverine and Longsword.
  4. That sounds a lot like the crap coming out of Glock perfection fans to be honest. I couldn't care less about the P320 or Sig really, I am just happy the army is buying a good handgun at a good price.

  6. This is purely anecdotal, but I once read a claim by a Reaper pilot who said he got a simulated air to air kill with a Hellfire during an exercise. Whether you could do that for real is another question.
  7. I feel like if Sig wants to get ahead of this the need to make the trigger safety a standard feature instead of an option and offer replacements to existing owners.
  8. I imagine this has been pointed out before, but the advocate bias here. Poly cased 5.56 would give you 252 rounds (at 20% lighter). Alternatively for the weight of 210 poly M855A1 you could only have ~119 poly or ~87 brass cased M80A1.
  9. No you see, soldiers will not run out of ammo sooner than with a 5.56 rifle because they are going to make them carry the same quantity. Also wanting mags for 210 rounds when no one makes 30 round .308 mags? To me this is a backdoor method to force the adoption of a new cartridge like .264 USA or whatever. Once they get their AR-10 type rifle it will be a simple matter to caliber swap.
  10. http://breakingdefense.com/2017/08/laser-in-front-grunts-in-back-boeing-offers-anti-aircraft-vehicles/
  11. Is Su-57 a confirmed name or the Internet caught in a feedback loop?
  12. This looks like a meme from when they though Trump was going to fire Sessions.
  13. Did the 740mm penetration figure for CHARM 3 originate from a publication(?) called JCollins?
