H&K is particularly famous for doing this kind of shit, but lots of companies do it. Wouldn't be surprised if POF tried it, too. Although I am pretty sure POF didn't try for ICSR.

H&K, doing underhanded shit?! HOW DARE YOU!

I want this pistol so damned much. 

There's like, literally 2 licensed gun shops that have an import partnership to the US so far because they're rare as fuck.

....And they're sold out every time I call both of them

Doesn't the LWMMG use a  nearly identical system or am I remembering wrong?

I'd assumed the rocket pods were on retractable pylons, festooning the outside of a 'stealth' aircraft with anything isn't a brilliant idea.....Although I do seem to recall 'stealthed' weapon pods being discussed, possibly in the context of the X-44?

Honestly I'm going with the theory still that they were just doing a functions test, or maybe seeing if it did work with the guidance system of the 90mm guided rocket systems.

2002 is an old plane, it will never see service so I doubt they'd go through that much trouble without seeing if it works at all first.

Strapping weapons to the outside of a stealth fighter is generally not a very wise idea.  But maybe this is like what happened with the PAK-FA; someone said "make sure it's compatible with all in-inventory weapons systems!"  And the program managers shrugged their shoulders and started testing the bird with all the weapons in the inventory.

I edited the post but, as I said in the edit, my theory is that, since the testr plane they used is number 2002 which is the second oldest prototype, maybe they just use it to test strange shit like this at this point.

If they learn how to guide them, probably not.....It might actually prove to be a very smart move.

Actually they've had guided 90mm rockets for quite a long time now, I just think that the J-20 of all planes is perhaps the most bizarre choice yet as a mounting platform even though model number 2002 is the second oldest of all the prototypes so it's likely just used as a test bed for random things at this point. (these are likely training or unguided rockets though.)

It's an old post so the comparison picture between the BRM1 and the standard unguided rockets got wiped when the forum updated to version 4.2, I reupdated the it though.

Has the PLAAF's obsession with mounting 90mm rockets on everything gone too far?

No, It's General Winter for sure.

Oh yeah, We have Gun Fu Guru to take his place as CEO ultra fanboy prime though.

stop assuming things , this is indian development , india is not known for spying stuff ..........if you don't know how good is this tank to leopard than stop comparing ......... india has displayed mock up version of 5th gen fighter in 2008 , but japan 5th gen fighter which designed its 5th gen fighter in 2014 looks exactly same that doesn't mean japan copied indian design , same way india never touched leopard 2a3 nor operated nor copied nor stolen the design by hacking .........if you have said india copied from t-90 that would have made sense because india operates t-90 ......... we may miss deadlines , we may import stuff , but we never copy from some other or never steal from another ............when we make something that is always best of its class , we don't make cheap stuff ...........arjun mk2 is the costliest tank in the world .....even with low wages and low cost of material ..........next time before blaming name something that india copied from another country then we can debate about this tank ......

Hey, that's like, double the budget of the Tejas design program.

"Stop BS. Arjun was pitted against T90 and outperformed T90 in every field."

To be fair, any method of carrying a firearm in very close proximity to your body is dangerous with the wrong equipment.

.....(At least It's not a Serpa.)

I agree, we should really make this the laugh at DRDO/DFI and other Indian Ultra nationalist sites.

Or they forgot to mention it's 300mm at 60 degrees angle. But then again the L/D ratio is awfull..

APFSDS long rods tend to not give a shit about angling, if anything, 60 dergrees will shift the asymmetric stress from the projectile to the armor and actually increase penetration in the case of long rods.

Although I'm not the one who said that, but @SH_MM you have to agree that the Arjun's turret looks like a Leopard 2A1-4's turret mated with the Leclerc's horrid mantlet, but worse.

 

I guess it's time I register to DFI. The shit flinging will be fun. Maybe we can assemble a whole squad.

DFI is literally one of the the worst (top 5 for sure) military "discussion" sites on the internet.

"Malarious" was a very inaccurate description, because unlike reading DFI, Malaria can be cured, It's more like Super Ebola.

I figure this would be a good time to bring this back.

Though, I might need to go from 4 to 6 armed Shiva to add some of DRDO more recent *creations*

So I understand Indians themselves defend this creation?

Also, you forgot my lovely Merky 4. That's the entire family of prominent models within just the lifetime of a single Arjun.

Though you gotta admit it, it's pretty advanced for a mid-70's development.

Worse than just defend, go to DefenseforumInida or other such places sometime (seriously, It's actually even WORSE than he says) and just read the blind fanaticism for the Arjun they have and how amazing it is and any other piece of fucking shit DRDO has turned out over the past few decades (INSAS, Tejas, LCH, their all of 4 ICBM submarine that's trash, etc etc etc.)

The US is not the country blockading Yemen and keeping food and medical supplies from coming in, nor is it the one terror-bombing civilians with its air force.

"Terror Bombing Civilians" is my new metal band name.

One other oddity about the Type 91 and it's predecessor is that they're the only mass produced AR-15s I know of that have a 4 position fire selector switch.
