Pretty accurate Tbh. Giving little children guns and drugs. The ambush scene was fantastic. They even used makeshift caltrops as a way of preventing escape. All in all pretty decent movie.

The bridge scene was gnarly; I agree the action was awesome & very original, I felt. Liked the general until /spoiler shit got rapey spoiler/

Excellent soundtrack. But a pretty suicidal film on the whole

>>33226217
the dude that went into battle naked with a 240 was pretty hilarious. Yea it was a good movie all around.

>>33226194
kind of. your bigger problem is 1) Remington 2) Freedom Group. Freedom Group/Cerberus has a tendency to make everything they touch into instant shit. Guess who owns Remington and AAC? While I'd like to think that fucking up an AR is hard to do they did it for Bushmaster and Remington firearms and very well could have done it to that gun too.

Great.....I can't complain to much, i get everything they make for 50% off so i got this gun at only $630.

You didn't do bad.

>>33226075
>Barrel length
What exactly does it affect
velocity and handling
>Barrel twist
is for optimization in regards to ammo but isnt that important. if its not an ar you dont get a fucking choice for twist rate. the twist rate a gun comes with is what it comes with.
>Short and long stroke piston
different ways of pushing the bolt back
>Di or piston gas systems
if this is an ar di pistons is a bastardized retrrofit. if its an ak or something its piston. you just stick with the system the gun was designed for.
>Adjustable gas systems
there so you can make you gun run with weak or hot ammo not that important if your gun was manufactured right to begin with and you are shooting factory ammo.
>Trigger weight
should be self explanatory. you dont need a light trigger to shoot well but it does help. its more about personal skill than anything.

>>33226075
>barrel length
Longer barrels will increase the velocity of a round (up to a certain point, depends on cartridge). Although shorter barrels are more maneuverable and weigh less. Longer barrels will generally also have a longer sight radius (distance between sights) so you will be able to shoot more accurately, even if barrel length doesn't really affect accuracy.
>barrel twist
It's how long a bullet takes to make a complete turn while in the barrel. A 1:9 twist will make a complete turn every 9 inches. Different cartridges and bullet weights will need different twist rates to be optimal.
>short and long stroke piston
Different, but similar methods of cycling a gas operated gun. I'm not the most familiar with them but the long stroke piston is directly attached to the bolt carrier and moves the full length, while a short stroke piston isnt. Look at the difference between an ak47 (long) and sks (short).
>direct impingement (di) and piston
Piston gas systems use the expanding gasses taken from the barrel to move a piston and bolt carrier group to cycle a gun. Di just skips the piston and slams gas into the bolt carrier. An ar isn't exactly di, but close enough to understand the basics.
>adjustable gas
Let's you regulate how much gas the gun uses to cycle. For different pressure rounds or if you're using a suppressor.
>trigger weight
How much weight it takes to pull the trigger.

>>33226163
Well fuck, I didn't see that you already responded.

As well as I can judge, Phantom's airframe is more than adequate to perform on-par with 4th-gens. With modern engines it's thrust-to-weight would nearly double, and it's radome is big enough to house a quite capable radar. Wing loading actually isn't all that bad compared to RECENT (heavier) variants of 4th-gen fighters. Add a modern RWR, ECM, AMRAAM capability, and a full cockpit rework (glass panels and an actual HUD) and you'd have quite an ass-kicking 4th-gen fighter. Fly-by-wire couldn't hurt either, though you'll have a hard time achieving relaxed stability without the addition of canards.

But seeing how it doesn't have VLO I just can't see it ever holding a candle to any 5th-gen.

>>33225776
At that point why don't you just build an entirely new fucking plane.

>>33225978
As I said - hypotetical question.

But then again, if you still got tons of airframes even such a major update on every level would - perhaps - be still cheaper than a completely new plane.

>>33225976
Yeah, thats exaclty what I thought about. Glass cockpit, FBW, modern armament integration and some kickass engines that are not only much more powerful but have greatly reduced thirst.

I mean, look at the Phantom: Every Version had fucking J79 turbojets. Now imagine what a modern low bypass turbofan would do to its range. Hell, maybe it would even become supercruise capable

The fact that it would explode in your face because it's a goddamn toy and you're clearly too fucking dumb to do any of the modification you're talking about.

>>33225769

If I can rebuild an engine and not have it explode I think I could do this.

It was a shit show because Bush sent them in there with no armour, artillery, nothing.

Provided a few lessons though:
- peacekeeping is gay and a waste of white lives
- no military should be half arsed ever again. Go in heavy with everything or don't go in at all

I don't see why not.

I've shot one, it was a blast. My buddy uses his for hunting. He loads one tube with bird for pheasant hunting. If he runs into a bear, mountain lion, etc -- he has buck & slugs in the other.

Well the UTAS is a Turkish piece of junk shotgun, full of issues and a complete gimmick. They constantly come back because of various failures, even though they're on Gen 4. Our store has stopped carrying them and many others are as well. So you tell me if it's good for a competition gun.

They are if you're putting them on an ar.

One self-bump before I go to bed

>>33225471
>what are you in for
A lot of lecture and a bare minimum of hands-on time most likely. Not that this is necessarily a bad thing for overeager first timers.

>>33226044
The thing said it'll be half and half (3 hours total)
After that, Ill probably end up getting a permit and start buying guns.
>overeager
I so am, I've been wanting to do this for quite some time. I feel like once I get my permit and purchase some funs (some handguns and shotguns, maybe a rifle) Ill be spending a lot of time at the range just firing my guns.

Anyway do you have any tips or advice?

>>33225449
Amazon.

>>33225449
Try ebay. If you like buffalo sauce the pulled chicken in buffalo sauce is the nuts. Ranger bars are amazing. Any mre with tuna has the most candy

>>33225449
You can find them on ebay pretty easily. I bought some back in the summer, all menu items dated for inspection early 2017 for $100.
The fresher ones are going to cost more obviously, but I wouldn't suggest paying too much because even if they're past the insp date, they're still good. As you know Steve will eat an MRE from 30 years ago like nothing.

you can clear a house with a long barrel if you really have to just need to change tactics and really practice shouldering from low ready

>>33224669
true enough i guess, wonder what accessories i should get then

probably a light first but idk if a side saddle is even worth it cuz if i'm firing more than 6 target load shots indoors and they're not dead i am

While the Mav 88 is a good gun for the money, your proposed course of action could arguably be accurately categorized as "turd polishing".
