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?
>>33417477
Because the ones that were made were made in a shitty ass caliber that led to malfunctions which led to people disliking them.
Then Ruger made his copy in .22 and everyone loved that but nobody seemed to give a flying fuck about one in anything BUT .22 as everyone and their brother was already making 9mm Luger handguns in infinitely simpler and cheaper and better models.
>>33417477
Bill ruger made a couple of direct copies before he started work on his pistols
>>33417513
you really think the design was overlooked just because the actual japanese nambus were shit quality and shit caliber? because really i cant find any fixed barrel auto pistols that arent straight blowback...
What went wrong? How do we make it right?
>>33417333
>what went wrong
Price point and availability.
Same problem with all "AR killers".
>>33417333
It's too late. Also it offers nothing over an AR.
>>33417357
>no retarded buffer tube
>better charging handle location
>better stocks in general
>more use of Plastic and aluminum, thus making things even cheaper to produce
It's like the AR when it first started.
Yeah it's expensive, yeah it's not "the proven one", yeah it's not "our gun" but fuck dude, it's a shitload of potential.
I just find the parallels between the ACR beginnings and he AR beginnings.

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
>>33416810
>rifle gas system
>.223 rem
.223 short strokes my 20" too. Options are to run hotter loads or swap buffers.
>>33416829
Swapping buffers is probably the cheaper option. >>33416829
>>33416810
Dunno. Try opening it up from the rear takedown pin and pull the BCG almost all the way out and let it fall. It should fall all the way back down in to the full battery.
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?
Another batman vs superman thread..
no
reason: both more or less have the same training so the ones with the more numbers will win
>>33416786
Depends.
Are the Marines drunk? Did they eat the Lucky Charms?

>"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."
http://www.popularmechanics.com/military/a20459/swarms-of-gremlin-drones-darpa
>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.
All units, destroy the Arsenal Bird.
Neat

This is just like those SHMUP games where the skies are saturated with mindless drones for the manned fighters to control and/or shoot at freely. Could possibly lead to a bigger emphasis on dogfighting as I doubt you want to waste your missiles on these types of drones.
Can someone tell me what kind of Shotgun this is?
Looks pretty fancy

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
>>33415807
Former Army fag. Bought 5.11 boots in 2008 and they were such a piece of shit I have never trusted anything the company has made since. Pulling the shoe strings to tightly cut in to the leather. If you want some soft ass shoe boots for Blackhawk or Nike.
