Posting this here since people seem to think European swords were not sharp:
-
Object 770 only had 3 forward gears and one reverse. DAV isn't exctaly clear on the subject but the Object 770 is noted as having good turning characteristics so I'm not convinced it has the same as IS-1/T-55.
E: According to DAV both the Object 770, and Object 277 share that stereo rangefinder, which is two plane stabilized, and independent of the gun. In addition to the radar range finder, which according to testing worked quite well for them.

The XB-70 is my favorite plane:

I don't think this should reflect badly on Japanese sword smith seeing as they neither had the resource nor the need to improve the quality of their swords. Despite the claims of some Weaboos there are definitely European swords created with analogous methods however they were later dropped in favor of other methods as the needs of troops dictated. Also at the end of the day it really doesn't matter as nethier the European Longsword nor the Katana were the primary weapon of their respective users.

Given that any POWs that ISIS will take face torture and execution I think it will behoove us not to give ISIS any quarter.

The HP rating you list for the AVSI-1790-6 is the net HP, not gross HP (Gross HP is usually what gets listed as "horsepower" in most books.)
That's what you get for using Wikipedia.

Is that including ancillaries like the radiators? Water cooled engines ought to have a better engine block volume : displacement ratio, since you can pack the cylinders closer together.
No it's just the engine itself.

I suspect the fact that our soldiers graze is due to our cultural eating habits which we've been conditioned to practice. I suspect this is also why the army has an obesity problem.

Man the RL-10 is really small:
I blame FASA for ruining my perception.

I have made a compelling argument in the comments on why the AK-47 is a Mondragon rifle ripoff.

No it would have the opposite effect.
