    There's plenty of footage of technicals doing just that in sandy places - it's better for bugging out quickly once they start shooting back

    T-14 looks good from the rear, very tanky. I like the ramp on the back of boomerang

    Pz 2.5!

    Given that the germans are not likely to wish to delay their purchase of new rifles (since the current ones don't seem to be fit for purpose), what bullpup rifles have been proven to work with a GPC like that and are available to purchase off the shelf?

    I'm of the opinion that standalone systems are better - you save on outboard weight on their rifle, and you can get a better HE thrower. Stuff like the french captive piston 2" mortar, or a small 60mm. Rifle grenades are also acceptable, since they don't add as much weight. So the germans were ahead of their time with their squads built around the MG?

    Everyone know's T________A is youngest. As for me:

    I like that way of arranging ERA, you get the most protection (i.e. airgap) where you're hit the most.

    There's been some discussion of this over on tanknet http://www.tank-net.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=40518 Take note of bansheeone's posts, he's in the german MoD So the melty fish gun does not melt? If you wanted night vision is should be possible to make a rail section that would fit in those lugs ETA: Erm, why are police worried about several mags worth of full auto fire?

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-32365830 This is quite concerning, hopefully there's medical infrastructure left from the fight against ebola if this really kicks off

    That barge is a lot bigger than previous photos made it look - I can see now why they were so keen to land out at sea, given the relative size of the fireball.

    Peppers are great, everyone needs more peppers. They're so versatile

    Rag joints! Those photos are amazing, I like the drum brakes where the final drives normally are

    That's a lot of lube in the martini-henry cartridge

    So all the fun of rocket propellant, that should be a lot safer than german turbine designs

    We should see space X finally land a rocket tomorrow https://blogs.nasa.gov/spacex/

    That graph, together with that quote from forgotten weapons, amuses me greatly. "don't worry guys, it's fine if it doesn't work!"

    Apparently the R51 is less shit now http://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/2015/01/22/remington-r51-pistol-return-production/ This pleases me!

    That barrel is surprisingly derpy

    I think it's just rubber to keep the dust down - looking at how it's bending I'd be surprised if there was steel in there. Like on the SPG

    But all cartridges have major shortcomings - namely, people are not buying them from me.

    We can see the suspension even better now, and I'm still sure we're looking at some kind of rotary damper on the end wheels of a torsion bar system
