    Raspberry jam is best for all purposes

    Brits were running the L11 ~20% higher pressure and it's a lighter gun tube IIRC, so a roided M58 would be within the capability of NATO (and better than the L11, since M58 has ~20% more chamber volume). You might even be able to pierce IS-7 with it!

    Imperial is not defined by metric, imperial is defined by the british empire!

    Chopped garlic > hand squeezed garlic. you're always left with lots of garlic wasted in the squeezer that you have to extract and chop, so cut the middleman. Squeezed garlic in a tube > all, of course, because anything else requires effort

    I agree on the M47 turret nose welded onto a trash can. They're re-engined it as well, going by the rear hull, which is a good idea with the BTR-60

    Just because a computer model says so, does not mean it's true. I have a module next year that's been summarised as "never trust a computer simulation"

    There are plenty of ex-north koreans happy to talk about forced labour camps denying human rights to political prisoners. Here's a 400 page report based on first hand testimonies going into a lot of detail on the matter. http://www.ohchr.org/EN/HRBodies/HRC/CoIDPRK/Pages/ReportoftheCommissionofInquiryDPRK.aspx

    Why would NATO countries keep a stock of AT missiles that can't deal with a T-72?

    Did they find a way to seal the cylinder gap, or give up?

    You've got some advantage, since propellant can sit up to the cannelure or so (where normally you'd find just the thin brass walls holding the boolit still)

    The engine deck is completely wrong for an L60, it's much too low

    I wanna see them fight ETA: fulderp gap

    The door is cute, but waiting until after it's open before spinning up the gun is silly IMO

    I prefer the guardian's article: http://www.theguardian.com/science/2015/jul/06/philae-comet-could-be-home-to-alien-life-say-top-scientists So a couple of scientists who asked for a device to sense life to be placed on philae (and were "laughed out of court") are saying they were right all along. I'd prefer to wait for more scientists to come out in favour of this before believing it

    I suspect WG asia has been retarded again and posted it before they're meant to

    We must move more wear components into the case! Bring on the single shot preloaded barrels!

    I am proven wrong - looking at their website, it turns out that the airbursting round does have PD capability. And they've added a specialised AA round to the inventory!

    If the boomerang is K-16 with MG and K-17 with a 30mm turret, and the kurganets 25 is B-10 with the MG, what's the 30mm armed kurganets called? I recall hearing a while back that T-90 uses titanium for the bulging plates, which makes sense I wonder how many dismounts you lose going from the 30mm turret to that, since the 30mm doesn't need the ammo stowage basket.

    HEP pen is good, but still falls into the "HESH doesn't care about range!" trap. Also their module placement is totally messed up and bears little resemblance to the vehicles they're meant to be modelling - eg M3 stuart with made up fuel tank, ammo in the battery compartment and a made up radiator. And this is on something as common as a stuart FFS

    The gun on a stick in the first link is one of the greatest things I've ever seen. Integrating it on an autocannon looks quite doable given the trend towards unmanned turrets, and their swinging breech looks a lot like the CTA 40 breech. Not that IFV's care about recoil or long term sustained fire with the limited ammo load of a large calibre IFV, but I'm sure they could find something that would appreciate it.

    Bear in mind that BAE has recently won a contract to replace M113's with turretless bradleys http://www.dodbuzz.com/2014/12/24/bae-wins-1-2b-contract-to-build-m113-replacement/ Sure, the actual contract for several thousand vehicles hasn't been signed yet, but there are no other realistic options for most of the M113's currently in use

    *ahem* (I'm sure many people in the UK & french defence industry are really fucking angry about page 17) There was a power point presentation on the web with this slide in it: IIRC it was on DTIC, but I CBA to try and find it again. Plugging the values from the pdf I linked into L-O broadly agrees, so you might take out a T-44 upper glacis at muzzle if you're lucky

    It looks a lot neater than most RWS'

    I knew they had it - my point is that dogfighting with and without the system is totally different. The dangerous zone of your aircraft is much larger, and since you only need to get the enemy aircraft into that area in a dogfight the F-35 was substantially hamstrung by turning that off. Which is fine if they were just interested in testing the pure aerodynamic capabilities, but it's not an accurate reflection of dogfighting low end instable fighters with awkward ROE

    I can't really say I'm all that surprised - given what we know about how many political undesirables the norks want to kill in camps or with firing squads it makes perfect sense. Kinda like nazi germany really, just replace jews with those who don't lick kim's butthole
