Is there any reason why we are not using 6.5 CT ammo? The maturity of this design and ammunition has already proven itself that it works. So why in the literal fuck are we not using this shit? Is it just to radical of a design change compared to the weapons we have in our arsenal currently? To me, it just shows the stupidity in our nations weapon procurement procedures.
Here we have a new design philosophy that is finally out of the experimental big business pet projects and is now at the point that at the say of the word, can be put into full production. The U.S.Army has instead gone full retard and instead of trying out a new thing that could well prove to be the next evolution of firearms instead calls for some bullshit 7.62 competition which, just like the MRAP procurement. Will produce a lot of shit that sucks and fills a small niche, and like the xm8 and carbine competitions, will have a lot of political pandering and corruption and unfairness for many competitors.

Infograph thread?
Is 30-06 powerful enough for anything?
>>35098964
Yes
>>35098967

>>35098964
powerful enough to penetrate a ribcage.
weak enough to not have to worry too much about neighbors in the next house getting shot over when firing into a ribcage.
Also great for small to medium sized vermin.
Is he right /k/?

Yeah everything said was accurate.
stop posting this clueless attention whore's videos
>>35098753
He is correct but the lack of snap caps and his attempts to fan the hammers on the revolvers irks me.
If you had to pick one gun to carry with you every single day, but were given unlimited funds to either buy one or even have one custom made for you. What would you go with?
I was thinking about this when I watched a video of the EDC9. It really does seem like the ultimate carry pistol, however I would go with a DA/SA trigger with a frame mounted decocker, but no safety.
>>35097372
I would make the FiveSeven thinner, and make the safety a thumb safety.
>>35097372
Oh, also

Nothing, my guns were lost in a tragic boating accident.
Hey you deplorable bigot, the term "looter" is racist and offensive. They are "undocumented shoppers".

Fucking RIP yurop
Opposition to it should simply stand up and say...you do know that lead as well as all metals come from the environment...thus the ground.
GET AROUND THAT FACT MOTHER FUCKERS.
Why don't we just ban death? That way we can have any and all funs, ammo, and accesories.

I could swear small RC planes deployed like that was on the agenda anyways a few years ago simply because cheap yet easy recon is awesome.
What I'm wondering about is would they ever seriously consider "flying grenades"? A small and cheap quadcopter with a cheapo camera carrying a lump of shrapnel covered C-4 could be flown right into a window or other hole in a structure and detonated. Could fly a small horde of them into a base and just fuck shit up.
Can't find one so I'm starting a new thread for questions that don't deserve own thread.
Here is mine: will it be a big problem if I shoot 12x70 ammo from 12x76 shotgun? I just got new under over shotgun witx 12x76 barrels and I have tons of leftover 12x70 ammo.
I want a blaser f-16 I only make 35k a year ...
will this change my life?
>>35095913
Will what change your life?
>>35095930
Thinking that f-16 is my only chance to bring my shooting up to YES i can shoot well mode.
How does the US Navy intend to run away from the Chinese YJ-18 super missile? I don't think this missile has any analog anywhere in the world. It has reached the apex of naval technology. I doubt any nation has the capability to copy this Chinese weapon, especially not India.
For the uninitiated, the YJ-18 super missile uses stealth subsonic technology to get near a target then suddenly sprint with supersonic speed once it gets near the target.
YJ-18 isn't stealthy, nor can it do defensive maneuvers during its supersonic sprint.
The real question is how does the PLAN intend to run away from LRASM, NSM, Harpoon, Tomahawk and SM barrages.
This radar look like something straight from WWII.
So whats the deal with the 556 round?
I know this has been argued over hundreds of times before, but I like fresh opinions.
Is this actually an effective and deadly round that can get the job done?
Or will it slide through like a .22, leaving little to no damage?
And is this retarded "556 was designed to wound, not Kill" true?
The AR is currently my only tactical rifle, and the size of the round has me worried about stopping power, especially if SHTF is ever a thing. Ive also heard countless stories of how some people can be shot upwards of 5 or 6 times, yet they still seem unfazed.
>>35095457
5.56 killing people is a myth. everyone shot and "killed" by the round is hiding in your basement.
>>35095457
Go look it up on youtube you massive retard.
I knew an ex marine that said he shot an enemy at around 200 yards and when they got to the body they founded that the round entered the guys shoulder and blew a hole in his boot on the way out.
