Just imagine the CNN headlines if Russians did the same standard procedure with one of the US planes flying somewhere over Siberia.

>>32043058
Since Western naval power is typically focused around air power and carrier air wings, it's more economical to build antiship missiles those planes can carry. You can also build and mount more of those missiles, for better target saturation.

The Russians built giant supersonic missiles because they wanted something to knock out a carrier in one hit. But the issue is the missiles are so large that only a few platforms can carry them and you can't carry as many, so it's harder to saturate your target.

>>32043058

The ships that carry yuge missiles are giant bullseyes for planes carrying smaller ones.

Also, I believe the harpoon is sea skimming, correct me if I'm wrong.

>>32043058
Because Russians and Chinese are going to run out of missiles intercepting those small and slow subsonic missiles than the reverse.

Don't do it.

No, don't do it.

You can buy two milsurp bolt actions for that price. Or you can buy a decent handgun.

specify used powder

I don't think blackbeard used smokeless powder

also, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brown-brown

Smokeless powder often contains nitroglycerin, a drug prescribed for heart conditions, which most likely causes vasodilation, permitting the cocaine to move more freely through the body.

>>32059299
Do a flaming shot. It will burn off the powder.

The fact that you need a multinational series of ground stations and a satellite network to use Reapers?

>you need a multinational series of ground stations and a satellite network to use Reapers?
Fuck. I thought my govt (Singapore) could buy attack UAVs. Feelsbadman.

Well, the USA doesn't operate the Super Tucano, so you're right that in that way the USA agrees with you, but I'll just mention some possible reasons. Also, where are the relative costs from? google gives the Super Tucano as around $15 million.

Technology and expertise transfer, the USA may not be willing to give every country access to their primary UCAV, or the ability to operate it fully independently of the USA. Embraer & Brazil does not have these concerns.

The Super Tucano does not require sophisticated communication infrastructure to use for ground support. Besides the pilots needing to stay in contact with it, the coordination required for troops on the ground to direct CAS isn't as simple as with a manned aircraft.

The Super Tucano can intercept light aircraft. In South America, it is regularly used to force down drug smugglers light aircraft. Something the slower unmanned MQ-9 cannot do.

Yes, they did. Imagine marching, camping, fighting, climbing, living, etc. In the rain mud, sun, sand, forest, etc. With a chunk of pointy metal poking out a good 2 feet from your waist. Its a danger, and it would ruin the blade a heck of a lot more than drawing it. Anon is dumb

They covered the blade. The weapon is retained in the scabbard by the hilt. Drawing it correctly would not wear it out as much as you would think.

Maybe, I built this one for $450 being a lazy fuck.

>>32057628
What brand did you use?
PSA?

>>32057638
Anderson lower
PSA everything else

It's currently grouping ~1.5~Moa at 100yds with Norma Tac 223, I have not fed it anything better or more expensive.

The trigger sucked a bag of dicks until I took the 2000 grit paper to it.

Local lower for $50 and a PSA daily deal blemished build kit with free shipping is the best option you have.

US/Russia

You have 99% of all the world's nukes there, China and the EU respectively have basically nothing

>>32057574
why is Canada an axis?

>>32057584
No nukes then.

I don't hunt. Not because I'm against it for any reason, it's just a lot of work, and I'm lazy.

Remington 783 in .243
Winchester Model 55 in .32WS
Or a Savage Super Sporter in 30'06.

With heated seat...
What would you roll with?

But that's not the AK74M.

With the easily-overheatable handguard and assblastingly fast fire rate?
No.
With a lowered fire-rate, better handguard and, if you're a pansy faggot, detachable carry handle?
Possibly.
It's more likely the most 'effective' rifle ever made, with its extreme light weight and decently good ergonomics (fuck the charging handle oh my god) even though it shoots a varmint round. It's definitely usable for a stopgap that filled the gap it was merely meant to temporarily stop.

oh man it's a triple threat of shit

Stop being poor.

Don't let your dreams mislead you, anon.

jesus christ

is that the flaming hot cheeto edition?

*from the description*

This is, without a doubt, the most awesome SKS ever made. In the Jesse James style of extravagant outstanding workmanship, this is a gloss black 16" SKS carbine in an amazing painted and lacquered fiberglass flaming red stock. Not only does it look amazing, it also handles great, with the semi-pistol grip stock and a handhold between the magazine and bayonet. Features a rear aperture and front red post for excellent target acquisition. Bayonet has been customized as well! Excellent workmanship; it feels even better in person than it looks in photos. A truly one-of-a-kind piece of firearms art for someone who is bored with ordinary guns! Not C&R eligible, sorry, and no shipments to California.
