    Well you see, an aircraft must meet the requirement of "being able to actually fly."
  3. Khand-e
    That and unlike the Japanese, the Chinese have advanced to the point where their aerospace industry can design and manufacture aircraft without outside help with the JH-7B, J-20 and J-31 being proof of that. (Look at all of Japan's previous fighters, even their "indigenous" ones would've been impossible without US assistance. I'll be fair and not count the J-10 since there is some circumstancial evidence that GD helped with the original project.) It's like, The USA, Russia, China, and some Euro nations like France and Sweden are really the only ones left capable of designing competitive aircraft these days without outside assistance, Though I'm sure I'll get bitched at for forgetting someone.

    Comrade Ensign you must tame the beast that is of communist letters! (Akula missed her chance to post this because AKULA IS DOG!)

    Yeah It's 100% a small sized primer, here's an overhead view for a better shot. And for those of you who have never seen standard .45 ACP with a large pistol primer, here's a fired Federal HST round casing in .45 ACP.

    Yeah it was Herter's. Basically, I bought 2 boxes of these just to try them out in my FNX-45 Tactical, I expected the failure possibility to be high because, not only of the odd jacket but the fact I haven't used aluminum cased ammunition very much, it's also unusual that even the .45 ACP variant uses a small pistol primer instead of a large. The fact it''s like 100% budget ammo also didn't help my concerns. .....Surprisingly I had zero malfunctions in the slightest and the Nylon jacket left almost no noticeable bore fouling and it cleaned out about as easy as any copper or brass coated bullets after a day of shooting. The trend of Polymer coated bullets may be an actual thing to look into.

    I bought some (I think Herter's?) ammunition from Cabela's while visiting relatives that had a blue Nylon coating and an aluminum case. Federal is late to the party when even store specific brands are doing it.

    I'm not sure if this the reason with the US tested FALs in particular but, "disposable" magazines for the longest time were anything but disposable, and actually rather expensive a pain in the ass to properly manufacture. Might've been in the event magazines were low on supply but ammo was more abundant. (at the end of WW2 for example, MP44s had far less impact than people will have you believe, you'd be lucky to even get 30-60 rounds for one, even luckier still to actually get a damn magazine and blessed to get 2 to use them for the damned things.)

    Which is why most of the talking I do regarding the PLA is done on the Chinese speaking parts of the internet very few dare to venture into.

    8x57mm Mauser and 7.92x33mm Kurz were designed during that time and the Germans are always right about everything. CHECKMATE ATHEISTS!

    So, since guarenteed Alpha access is no longer a feature of pre order packages being that all packages instantly get you in the beta, all pre order packs have been upgraded and these will be retro fitted to anyone who already purchased them next major patch/gear wipe of the beta phase. So in addition to what all the packs had previously, they'll now all give you. Edit: Also I forgot to add there's another bonus for all packs. Also, confirmed there will be no price increases for this, buy in you scrubs.

    http://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/2017/10/18/bringing-czech-uk-59-21st-century-marcolmars-beltfed-ukm/ You know, as someone who's a noted fanboy of Czech firearm designs, particularly older or more obscure ones, this gets me strangely erect. Wish they were full auto as intended however.
  13. Khand-e
    They even have a secret .303 British chambering option!

    I always new my 50mm Supershot fanboying would come to fruition someday.
  15. Khand-e
    Think of a topic you want, I'll get you a paper or 20 on it. (You have to be a student or professor at that particular University though, and only those who are seen as the best prospects get access to said university.)
  16. Khand-e
    Lol yes because clearly those dumb Chinese can't possibly figure out the impossible task of ordnance design, neve rmind that a fuckload of research on new and experimental designs you'll find are done in China and organizations like the IBS have like half their members based out of China, they just can't figure out munition design! Can you not post dumb assumptions that have no backing in reality? it would really help lower the bullshit quota on this forum, thanks.
  17. Khand-e
    HAHAHAHAHAHA. Oh man, It's a shame you're probably not coming back, because this in particular is a niche subject I would absolutely horsewhip you on.
  18. Khand-e
    Well, it was only an M1A, so nothing of value was really lost.
  19. Khand-e
    From what I gathered from asking a Few people (Including Akula.) -The design first emerged on the internet around late 2016. -However, no person or company has actually claimed It's theirs publicly and nothing has leaked on it so, unless that happens, no one really knows anything about it. Not even the name if it has one. Also, this thing, from the looks of it, it appears the JH16 design did infact win the trials for a new Police/SWAT SMG, seen here being posed in a photo op with a member of the Guangzhou SWAT. (Third to the right.)

    If the TFB comments section had their way with arms procurement, we'd be back to civil war era levels of effectiveness, if not worse.
  21. Khand-e
    I tend to make fun of dumb posters in the TFB comments alot, It's kind of just my thing. The NewMan joke is that he's a massive H&K fanboy who never makes any actual sense at all and cries all the time the second it's implied an H&K gun isn't absolutely perfect and the best thing ever or "insert non H&K design here, mainly non H&K made AR-15s) could possibly be as good or even good at all.
  22. Khand-e
    But NewMan told me that the HK416 is the bestest rifle ever!, nevermind he also said the AR-15 is just am obsolete bad platform, sticking an SSP on it and stamping H&K on the side magically makes it the pinnacle of innovation and superb engineering!
  23. Khand-e
    Honestly I'm not even sure why they're bothering to have a competition, no matter how good any of the other finalists are, They'll just go back to H&K like an abused housewife after everything that's happened anyway because of how corrupt and deeply entrenched into the German MoD they are. Quote me on this when it happens.
  24. Khand-e
    More like 5.56mm Jamomatic poodleshooter apologist emperor!
  25. Khand-e
    More than just reading, and more than 1 at that.
