HAHA, We have outwitted dirty Putin tactics by simply calling them what the designation sort of looks like!

Lightweight AFV, or just because they could? The receiver looks a tad large for a light machine gun
That's the thing, I don't actually know why it was made.
And yeah, the receiver and barrel are surely significantly beefier than on the QJY88, you can tell just by looking at it. (I'm guessing because it's harder to fuck with a co-axial or other vehicle location mounted machine gun if it overheats or some shit than an infantry served one.)

Can confirm, new pistol is really good if you're not dirt poor ingame. It's still not going to do much to "FORT" (clearly not Ratnik) armor ingame, but it blasts right through Kiver and PACA.

How are Israelis so good at the art of flipping over Tanks and other AFVs?
It honestly baffles me.

It's not ugly, but I can't see anyone buying one without weird gun control regs
To be fair to the designers, it does seem like a perfectly thought out design for any countries that do have such strict regulations.
I could see it being viable, though re zeroing the scope after every dismount would be a bitch.

Surprisingly it looks pretty good, I like how it's not perfect because a lot of video games make thermal scopes absolutely perfect when, unless you spend an absolute fuck load on one (I have one for my M300 that was over $20,000, It's basically military grade and incredibly good but, even then not magical arcade video game bullshit good), they're not even close to how they're portrayed in video games. Like how some won't even take into account background interference/surrounding object temperature or various atmospheric conditions.
They've said they're not finished with the Thermal scope yet since they need to fuck with the game engine first to get it 100% accurate but, I'll wait and see how that turns out when it happens.

Has there ever been a time where custom work could ever get you as much money as you put in?
If said custom work was done for someone really famous and they (or their family after they die) sell it afterwards?
......realistically speaking though, no.

Well the difference is I actually have experience in USPSA/ISPC and IPDA unlike most of the people that shit talk big like that who have never entered a competition in their life. Hell, I have an entire section in my walk in safe dedicated to nothing but competition pieces.

That is cool, how do you like it, and what do you think it does better?
I'm committed to getting a G19 because it is
the default choiceconsiderably easier to get accessories and support for, and by the time I've bought more mags, a happy stick, a red dot, a milled slide, a comp and a light, support for those and a holster to fit it all (especially custom safariland kydex from valhalla) is a major trait of a gun as a part of the system.Note that for the record, I'm not not one of the hypocritical fanboys of other polymer framed, striker fired handguns that think their copy of a Glock is just so much better for.....exactly no reason other than *brand dicksucking here*, hell, I own 2 Glocks and had 2 prior to now, and tried many of their imitators, the Walther PPQ M2 was probably my favorite but even then, I ultimately went back to a G17 (traded in a G22 to get one before that since I didn't need it.) and you'll notice I usually go for full size guns and not the "compact" G19 size frames and clones because, as this will be important for why I like the P-10C better, I have big fucking hands and this often affects my gun choices. (I can do the Hollywood/video game bullshit dual wield Desert Eagle comfortably for example.....my accuracy isn't the best, but I can do it.)
That being said, let's get onto why the P-10C.
First off, going to have to disagree with Sturgeon on the trigger, anyone who's paid attention to my posts here knows I have annoyingly high standards of triggers and sights and, normally when it comes to triggers on striker fired guns, assuming we're not referring to after market mods, the P-10C is pretty much the first trigger on a striker fired Glock style tongue safety trigger that I find noticeably better, from the pull weight to the reset to travel distance, It's just a very clean trigger for a striker fired gun, and, for reference, for other striker fired polymer guns to compare to a Glock, I've tried heavily or owned:
Walther PPQ M2 (I'd rate the trigger as slightly better but not massively, at least not by the margin the P-10C is.)
S&W M&P (Haven't got to use many of the newer 2.0 models which have a different trigger setup, but the 1.0 triggers are horrid and this was almost the single biggest turning point on why I never bought one over a Glock.)
SIG P320 (Owned one before it was cool, overall worse trigger bar none, that wasn't the only reason I traded it in though.)
H&K VP9 (Yet another case of H&K fanboys overhyping the shit out of anything with 2 red letters on it, touted as the greatest thing to happen to striker fired guns ever, is not noticeably better than a Glock in any way aside from some arguable minor ergonomic changes despite costing more.)
FN USA FNS (about the same, nothing special but not a bad alternative by any means, haven't tried the newer 509. On an unrelated note, I'd still recommend a Glock because FNH/FN USA charge fucking murder for new magazines and other gear.)
STEEEEER M9-A1 (The *other* Austrian Striker fired polymer framed handgun, these are really nice actually and a steal for the price, better sights and great ergos for sure, as for the trigger I feel they're about even.)
Canik....anything (LOL, seriously, trigger issues are only the beginning, don't buy anything from them, their shit is horrid and all their good reviews were from already anti Glock fanboys who were paid off in gun mags basically.)
There's probably more I'm forgetting or simply don't want to bother talking about, but you get the Idea.
Second is the front cocking serrations, this doesn't need me to go into much, It's a roughly G19 length slide and I have gorilla hands so that's really useful to me, It's also a very simple thing to do.
The grip angle and the grip shape, along with the space in general I have for my hand from below the slide to the very bottom of the grip just fits me quite a bit better for my freakishly large hands, the P-10C also has a slightly roomier trigger guard which is good for when it's fucking cold out and I'm wearing gloves.
Lastly, they have an MSRP of only $500, making them an absolute steal, street price is lower obviously, but, you won't have a chance to get one if you see it for long because they're going fast right now.
Originally, I would've recommended the Steyr M9-A1 or L9-A1 series as "the Polymer framed, Striker fired pistol with no manual safety you should get if you absolutely hate Glock for no real reason at all.", the P-10C moved the other Austrian offering down to 2nd however (the M9-A1 series has better sights however, though pretty much all stock sights on pistols and rifles alike are dogshit and should be the first thing you change.). they're also going to be offering a 12 shot .40 S&W version at some point indicated by the owners manual to try and grab at the balls of the G23 market, so look forward to that. you said you're interested in 2 gun, in USPSA/IPSC, Open Major division has a 10mm minimum caliber requirement so guns for this bracket are pretty much always chambered in .40 S&W as said cartridge is literally just a 10mm Auto casing cut down by 3mm and set to a lower approved pressure rating.
.....Though to be fair, if you ever get really serious into IPSC, chances are you won't be using a striker fired, polymer framed gun.
15 hours ago, xthetenth said:Yep. Plus, I'm trying to get it together before a 2-gun match at the start of February so things like waiting on custom holsters and stuff isn't happening. Instead, I got a holster that was in stock, mags that were on sale, and so on and so forth.
In the land of the universally competent pistol, the broad ecosystem is king.
You know, I know it's a really arrogant thing to say but, assume they actually participate in the event and don't just host it, I legit think I can beat Ian and Karl in a 2 gun match.

Since I was asked my thoughts on this despite saying I don't care about this part if the forum, I'll just say that...
...while the TS incident did undeniably happen regrettably, this article comes off as sensationalist bullshit honestly and 10,000 out of nowhere is total bs when foreign reporters who were, you know, actally there at the time estimated 500-1000. The other half reads like cartoon villain evil shit that doesnt logically make sense for various reasons But, as we've seen with places like the former USSR/Russia, something doesn't need to be proven true for people to believe they = bad!
You wanted my opinion when I stay stop paging me to this forum? You got it.

Pretty much every P-10C I've used (or bought) has worked perfectly fine for me, It's like the one G19 wannabe that actually feels noticeably better than a G19 in quite a few areas to me.

As you would expect with his video's, it needs a healthy dose of factchecking.
That would require blacktaildefense to know literally any facts about the Type 96 or 99 at all though.

Ah yes, the Type 96, the tank that the PLA only keeps in production because the Later variants of the Type 99 were too expensive at the time and still are too time consuming to fully replace them with.

The original laws were meant to stop spotlighters.
Deer do this very odd thing, where they walk toward bright lights. I've witnessed it and even done it a few times. Easy to stick a light out the truck, hit eye shine, they walk to you, and you shoot them with a shotgun.
I'm not much of a hunter like some of my family was but.....I would very much like to witness this firsthand sometime.

Why wouldn't you use .308 for rabbits?
I mean what's the real concern here? That it's unethical? It's not. .50 BMG will kill a deer just fine. It won't blow it to tiny bits, like in the movies. So what's the issue?
Obviously, who wants to haul a .50 through the woods, but if you're just going to the deer blind for culling and you want to have a little fun, I don't see the issue.I myself enjoy hauling a gun that's 30+ lbs unloaded through rough wooded terrain in the freezing cold.

There's a story of how I once bought a Maserati and forgot I even got the damned thing.
That was fun, still have it but looking for a better place to store it.

Basically he's a fraud with a loud mouth who unfortunately had some dipshits think he was of some importance back in the 70s-80s before it was revealed he was a know nothing hack like the rest of the fighter mafia.

I don't know, if you can actually find a later model one, they're pretty nice, they're one of the absolute smallest pocket pistols on the market and about one of the lightest, they also come in a 9x18mm Makarov chambering which is really nice but, I'm not sure MRI makes the Makie version.

Since I can't really find anything about this and a lot of you all here tend to be a bit more in the know than I am, would anyone here know if Magnum Research discontinued the Micro Desert Eagle? It first showed up in 2007 and was talked about for a few years, but seems to have disappeared by 2012. Magnum Research no longer lists the gun itself on their site, but beyond those two facts, I've got nothing else to really go off of.
I know the actual designers of the gun MRI bought the rights from, ZVI (Czech based company, used to actually be part of the makers of the recently much talked about FK BRNO pistol before splitting off) had a massive layoff in 2013, that had some rather clear impact on the original Kevin ZP98 model throughout the world.
They had to slightly modify the design to get it approved for US importation and manufacture, this lead to some early problems for the US made guns but they got ironed out, as for whether they still make them, well.....

I didn't have much trouble finding it on their site. *shrug*
