Can anyone tell me why the nambu failed? They're so simply manufactured, half the machining could be done with files and calipers. I don't know what it's called but the way the bolt locks into the frame rather than into the barrel like most modern short-recoil guns (1911, glock, ect) seems like a very nice way to have good lockup while also keeping an accurate, fixed barrel. Is this system only capable of handling enemic rounds or something? why didnt we see an explosion of 9mm nambu copies after the war? why has the design never really been revisited by modern gun design?

alright /k/ I'm completely new to building ar15's, so i decided to jump in..now I'm having an issue that has me stumped, my bcg won't go fully into battery after racking the charging handle (sometimes it will, sometimes it wont) as well as shooting, one round will strip and go fully into battery, the next may or may not, and it stops almost excacly the same spot every time, i've cleaned the bcg (fully dissembled) , oiled, checked gas block for leaks (for short stroking), and checked gas key (possibly loose and binding on gas tube), but all seem well, my buffer and spring seem adequate and lock back after last round...my only guess is that my buffer spring isn't strong enough? chambering too tight? buffer too heavy?

>details of my rifle
>18" .223 wylde barrel
>rifle gas system
>a2 stock with unknown spring and buffer (part of lower kit)
>PSA bcg

also using American eagle .223 rem brass ammo

any thoughts? Pic related, my bgc doing exactly what I'm saying

The police have access to routine law enforcement gear (semi-automatic ar15s, service handgun, and etc)

The marines have access to standard equipment (nvg, m16a4, m27 iar, m249 lmg, etc)

Could the number difference be overcome by the superior training and weapons of marines?

>"The Phase 1 program showed the feasibility of airborne [drone] launch and recovery systems that would require minimal modification to the host aircraft," Wierzbanowski said in a statement. "We’re aiming in Phase 2 to mature two system concepts to enable ‘aircraft carriers in the sky’ using air-recoverable [drones] that could carry various payloads advances that would greatly extend the range, flexibility, and affordability of [drone] operations for the U.S. military."

>They would fly up to 500 miles (805km) to the target area and loiter there for up to three hours before returning to be picked up by a C-130 recovery aircraft, possibly using the 1950s spiraling "bucket drop" technique. DARPA expects each Gremlin to survive at least 20 missions.

>some Gremlins act as decoys, some as jammers, and some as radar detectors, passing on details of where enemy radar are so they can be attacked at a later time.

>In a paper for the Naval Postgraduate School, Ibrahim Kocaman describes how a swarm of jammer drones can form a "dispersed wirelessly networked opportunistic array." By synchronizing their signals, they act as a single jamming unit with a gigantic virtual antenna. Kocaman says that even with a poor level of coordination, the swarm will have more jamming power and greater range than if the elements worked separately. Even if some of the drones are shot down, the jamming continues. The same jamming technique can be used to block communications or other signals (such as the GPS used by SatNavs), and again being able to get up close makes a difference. Even a powerful signal can be jammed if the jammer is much closer than the source.

So looks like the US got more tools to take out layered Russian air defenses.

I've decided to try out some 5.11 boots and can't decide between Speed 3.0 or the A.T.A.C boots

If any of you dudes own either pair of these and could give some pros and cons. That would be appreciated
