to my knowledge, you could and just had to have a certain superior approve of it.

This is the exact reason why you see STG44's still circulating the transferable MG market. Hell, a Vietnam war bringback of a true Russian AK-47 is listed for $55,000.

Hnnnng.

CZ Custom had one of these in shop when I went to get my SP-01. I was tempted and now I regret not getting it. It was basically everything I'll ever want in a 1911.

I'm interested in getting into competitive shooting so I think my next CZ's are (in no particular order):

CZ 97B (Heavy Metal Limited/Optic)
CZ 75 Shadow 2
CZ 712 3 Gun G2

Possibly:
CZ 75 Tactical Sport
CZ Czechmate (Open Pistol Competition and possible 3-Gun Open, wayyy down the list though).
CZ 612 w/Tube Extension (Heavy Metal Limited/Optic)

I also still want to get a RAMI at some point, and might just get the B model since it'll share the same battery of arms as the competitive models. I also still want a Phantom and might consider getting a surplus 75B for a fun gun.

Also those Turkish Side by Side's catch my attention regularly, as well.

Panzer IV was reaching the end of it's usefulness. They'd already packed as much extra gun and armor as it could handle. So Panther was inevitable. That said, if they had put resources otherwise wasted on their many wunderwaffes into production of proven designs like the IV and the STuG it might have helped a bit. Though it would have been an equal or better contribution if they put more effort into recovering and repairing knocked-out armor. A lot that could have been put back into use was simply abandoned.

but considering everything, cost, reliability, infantry support, actual combat performance, which was the better tank in ww2?

I think the IV could have soldiered on a bit longer if they'd have simplified the design a bit and really focused on it. I'd love to recommend that they should have gone with the sloped armor Ausf K, but all that proposal did was illustrate just how close they were to the limits of the chassis even back in 1942.

However, one of the real problems was the way German procurement worked at the time. You had a very arcane procurement office coupled with an odd decentralized web of contractors making all of your parts. If you would get this under control and simplify the design, you might be able to extend the IV's service life

I'm of the opinion that the Germans really fucked up when they made the decision to split things between 2 tanks in the 30's (resulting in the III and IV). For no particularly good reason (From all I've read on the subject, it came down to them just issuing two different requirements) they split the roles and branched the whole development of each (separate specifications, competitions, etc). I'd argue this really limited both vehicles.

It's interesting to think about what might have resulted if they'd have focused it down and built a slightly longer, beefier III chassis in dual role from the start.

How about you post actual good art first.

Soup Gear Queers, quick question: I want to upgrade my plates from AR500 level 3 to something that will protect me from AR15s and other high velocity rounds, but I can't decide between ceramic or steel plates. From what I understand, the ceramic can protect against AP and high velocity, but they can break if dropped, and they somehow only last 5 years?
Anybody with some real experience want to weigh in? Weight is not an issue, I am used to carrying the ar500 plates already.

you want level IV ceramic plates they don't even make level IV steel plates. They would be like 10+ lbs
the dropping thing and expiration date is a meme. it's only there for liability reasons.

>Anybody with some real experience want to weigh in?

fucking ignore me pham

>>34639473
just buy the ceramics

even the "level 3+" steel plates are very sketchy and prone to failure

also you're not gonna break a ceramic plate by dropping it a couple times, there's a reason why they're issued

Is the HK MR556 any good? I haven't really heard anything about it at all from people here.

Well we just got railguns down pat recently, so as soon as spaceships are a thing hopefully we return to broadsiding other galleons with volley upon volley of metal projectiles moving VERY fast at incredibly high speeds

>>34634252
>what do you imagine Space Warfare to be like?
drone warfare. What use would humans fighting in space be? We're too fragile to fight in that environment, just use machines that done give a fuck about oxygen and temperature.

One month of maneuvers followed by two seconds of railgun fire and missile spam followed by two more weeks of maneuvers. Lots of SIGINT and boring signal detection. If you're lucky you'll get to drop bombs onto an asteroid for a field exercise.

Dude, I'm going to give you a fucking 2/10... and that's only because I'm a fan of ZTs and Glocks. Get your shit fixed and try again.

Noice, a Yugoslav kit I'm assuming?

I'm the FAL with a shitty trigger guy.
I clipped the spring back around a coil to a could and a half and now it works great on setting number 3, even going so far as to eat brass.

So.
Folks. Check the tension/pressure on your triggers when you get a kit. Apparently some are overpressured.
Also, ynfucking a carcano.
