What do you think will be the next big "thing" at Shot Show will be? Like where the industry moves.
I think revolvers will be big next year.

Will it still be reliable? Or will the loose tolerances of WW1 era mags and ammo fuck it up?

Very reliable with ball ammo.
>>
It'll be fine, the design as a whole is fine. The GI guns were "loose" because it made life easier on anyone doing parts replacement in a time before CNC, not because a 1911 needs to be loose.
I would I would say the lw hammers could be an issue with debris, but primers were softer then too so it's a wash

I don't know about WW1 but my dad still uses 1911 mags his father used in WW2 with no problems.

Had a DS who would keep us standing there for ridiculous long times. That's not unusual but he would always talk about the weirdest shit. His favorite topic was his own dating/love life. He would tell us about dates he was planning, who the girls were, what he thought of them, and how it ended up going. Sometimes he would walk around with his phone and show people his tinder matches. He was genuinely a weird guy.

Hey, /k/. Is there any advantage in RCS if one rounds-off certain parts of the airframe, like pic related?

rounded edges are detrimental to reducing RCS.
I'm starting school in Arizona in a week, moving from California. Obviously this is the land of uncucked magazines and scary salt weapons, so of course I'd like to enjoy those freedoms.
I figure I'll have to get an AZ license/ID card since I'll probably be getting a job in the near future as well, but I still won't be considered a resident of AZ. With that being said, does the background check via form 4473 check for residency?
I'm trying to stay within the bounds of the law here, any help would be nice.

Yes. The 4473 will require current residence.
>>
>>32526777
The 4473 just cares about what address you have on your ID card.
>>
>>32526787
>>32526801
So if I get my AZ license/ID and it has my current Arizona address on it, I should be good to go?
Also, do I need the AZ license itself, or will an ID card suffice? I read somewhere that AZ licenses aren't required for out of state students, even if they have a job. But my car is registered in California, along with the insurance and all that bullshit. The last thing I want is to be denied a sale because of some miscommunication between all the paperwork.

Get a S&W.
If for no other reason than the fact that the cylinder release goes the correct way.
>>
>>32526712
Or get a Ruger. I've got a 3" SP101 and a 5.5" Redhawk. Both are fucking tanks, and IMO are less flashy than the S&W's
S&W's are classic revolvers which look beautiful and perform great, like a midnight blue 1973 Plymouth Barracuda.
Rugers are well-built workhorses which take pretty much anything you feed them, like my ex-girlfriend.

Let's talk about the Space Shuttle and it's often-downplayed potential as a weapons delivery system.
I know the official story is that the only military shuttle flights were the ones from Canaveral carrying KH-11's, TDRS's, LACROSSE's, and the odd MENTOR, but something feels a little incomplete there.
The Russians were well known for copying US systems and capabilities, and rarely did they design a new weapons system that wasn't a direct response to something we were already operating. We all know what Polyus was, and the question I have is what was Polyus built to counter. The US defense industry leaked like a sieve in the 80s, so there had to be something good.
What were the odds that the US had some sort of insertable mission module for the Space Shuttle carrying either MIRVs, rods from god, or a MIRACL-style chemical laser? The pad at Vandenberg (with it's upright payload assembly building for rapid payload-mating to a shuttle stack on standby) HAD to have been designed around a lot more than just launching satellites into polar orbit to justify the costs of building it, right?
And furthermore, what new capability or system did we get in the late 80s that convinced the USAF to walk away from their own dedicated shuttle and its expensive new Californian launch pad?
The USAF only gives up hardware when they have something better, so it must have been something pretty spectacular.

It's pretty obvious that the Shuttle was not a military weapon.

Its illegal to put weapons of mass destruction into orbit.
